Publisher's summary

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

In the classic best seller The Game of Life and How to Play It, 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.

Excellent story

A simple read of the love of God that is within us, and our divine connection to one another. A book full of affirmations to manifest that which is in alignment with our divine assignment. There’s a small audio glitch toward the end of the book, but it’s minor in comparison to the gift and the giver that become abundantly visible through the process of listening.

best book overall

The stories brought the book and lessons to life.... short sweet and to the point...A book everyone should read atleast once.

Problem with dubbed recording

Overall the book was good and I enjoyed it. But in a few spots in the recording, there seems to be some overlap or accidental dubbed recording.

Overall Good

I enjoyed this teaching. To get the full benefits I would want to listen to this over and over. I would caution if anyone is not a follower of Jesus Christ they might miss the message and principles being taught as there a many references based on biblical teachings with quotes from several scriptures. I have heard similar teaches that did focus on a religious belief. This was all fine for me personally, I felt it was necessary to mention it in the review because I was not expecting it.

Must read.

I love the fact that this book was so simple and straight to the point she gave great examples but still very clear and direct with the point, I’m a Virgo so I love to yes get to the point. This is a necessary read to progress yourself.

Highly recommend

This book is an eye opener, a spiritual eye opener! I have read it multiple times and learn something new each time.

The profound examples of Devine Practices.

I enjoyed this book especially the affirmations and spiritual principles.
The narrator was easy to listen to and understand Her tone and delivery was perfect for me.

God is always there
