Explore the wisdom of a New Thought classic and master the game of life!

In this classic bestseller, Florence Scovel Shinn helped to define the personal success genre. Written in the new thought tradition, her message is simple yet transformative--we receive back what we put into the world through our actions, energy, and attitudes. Negativity and pessimism are returned in kind, but by switching the script in favor of positive attitudes and affirmations, we are able to manifest success and joy in everything we do.

Life, Shinn tells us, is not a battle of us against the world, but rather a game of giving and receiving. What we give to the world we receive back--whether that be the dark weight of fear and inhibition or the freedom of joy and empowerment. This new edition of The Game of Life and How to Play It combines the text of Shinn's original edition with a sleek design that will inspire a new generation of readers.

It’s was nice to read another prospect of the divine power and how we manifest things in our life . I appreciated that it referenced the Bible and how the messages of the Bible translated to us having positive thoughts. I have been following this method since I was 24 and has proven over and over that it works and this was a great to help you get on track when you get off the right mind set . It’s small but makes you think and it’s a great little gift book

I stumbled upon "The Game of Life and How to Play It" during a quest for personal growth and self-improvement, and let me tell you, it's an absolute gem. Florence Scovel Shinn's timeless insights are as relevant today as they were when the book was first written.

The book is a treasure trove of practical wisdom presented in a concise and engaging manner. Shinn's ideas about the power of thoughts, affirmations, and faith resonated deeply with me. Her emphasis on aligning our thinking with our desires and trusting in the Universe's abundant possibilities is both inspiring and empowering.

What I particularly appreciate about this edition is that it's the original and unabridged version, ensuring we get the full impact of Shinn's teachings. The prose is clear and accessible, making it easy to absorb the profound concepts she presents.

Whether you're new to the world of self-help literature or a seasoned reader, "The Game of Life and How to Play It" offers valuable insights that can lead to positive transformations in various aspects of your life. I've already started incorporating Shinn's principles into my daily routine, and I can sense a positive shift in my mindset and circumstances.

In a world filled with distractions and negativity, this book serves as a guiding light, reminding us that we have the power to shape our reality through our thoughts and beliefs. If you're open to embracing a new perspective and eager to make positive changes, I highly recommend giving this book a read. It's a true classic for a reason – it has the potential to change lives.
