In this classic best seller, 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.

Life, Shinn tells us, is not a battle of us against the world, but rather a game of giving and receiving.
