This is mu favorite book!

I have read this book countless time since 2000 when it was gifted to me. I have own several hard copies. I have two copies on Kindle because I forgot that I already purchased it. I have listened to it on youtube. I also have the free PDF version of it. It is the only book I own in so many format. It is simple, profound, and timeless. This book can change your life. It changed mine.

Mention of Jesus Christ

I was very disappointed that when Jesus Christ was mentioned the reader skipped over multiple paragraphs to not mention Jesus Christ which is why this works.

Sooooooo gooood

You’re going to love this short gem! So simple and poignant. Just like life, the answers are right in front of us.

Wonderful content

This book will change your life forever. It has so many truths that are direct, simple, and very impactful. The narrator leaves a lot to be desired, no emotion.

Very inspiring

This is a very inspiring read. Somewhat religious.
I like the narrator , very pleasant voice.

Seeing With Clear Vision

A very informative and timely approach to understanding how thoughts and spoken words must align to produce the good always available when fear and doubt are eradicated from contaminating the root of believing. Fear cancels. Faith allows. We are fully equipped to receive if we can believe it's ours as we speak!

If you are a fan of Florence Scovel Shinn...

Where does The Game of Life and How to Play It rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

4.5 out of 5 - only because it is different from anything else.
I have been reading the late Mrs. Shinn's books for years and was thrilled to see that they have been recorded. There was some extra material in the audio version - mostly anecdotes
but interesting.

What did you like best about this story?

Hearing the book made it come alive.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

no - but she really made sense in her approach. This is one of the original self help books and one of the best.

Great content, horrible narration

Like a lot of other reviewer‘s mentioned, the content is great and inspiring. The narration is horrible, it sounds like it she is yelling the entire time without coming up for air.

life changing!

for someone who's been on a spiritual and emotional roller coaster, this book settled my anxiety and changed my life from within! I listen to it daily and every time, I get stronger and learn something new. I recommend this book to everyone who needs guidance from suffering no matter what they are going through.
