About the author
Kathleen Cox is the author of Vastu Living: Creating a Home for the Soul and its companion volume, The Power of Vastu Living, published by Da Capo Press in 2000 and Atria Books in 2002. Both books introduce vastu shastra, the Indian architectural and design tradition often described as a sister discipline to yoga and ayurveda, presenting it as an alternative or complement to the more widely known Chinese practice of feng shui. The Power of Vastu Living offers a room-by-room approach to organizing and decorating homes and workplaces according to vastu principles, aimed at readers who want practical design guidance rather than a purely historical or scholarly account of the tradition's origins. Together the two titles position Cox's work as an accessible introduction to vastu for Western readers already familiar with feng shui and looking for a related practice rooted in Indian tradition.
