    • 5/5
      The simplicity this book was written by this powerful woman as her soul lives on is marvellous. It inspires and pushes towards greatness.
    • 3/5
      I read this book on the recommendation of a friend who knows I'm getting more into spirituality and mindfulness. I've seen it compared to The Secret which I've never read so have no way to compare them. It's basically the Law of Attraction and manifestation from a Christian/Bible scripture perspective. Originally published in 1925, it's short and easy to read. This seems to be a love it or hate it book. I'm not particularly religious so that part I can't comment on. I do believe there is power in positive thinking and liked those parts. Your mileage will vary.

      The Game of Life and How to Play It by Florence Scovel Shinn Chapter 1: The Game Chapter 2: The Law of Prosperity Chapter 3: The Power of the Word Chapter 4: The Law of Nonresistance Chapter 5: The Law of Kamma and TheLaw of Forgiveness Chapter 6: Casting the Burden Chapter 7: LoveChapter 8: Intuition or Guidance Chapter 9: Perfect Self Expression or theDivine Design Chapter 10: Denials and AffirmationsWhy I picked this book up: This book came up on my YouTube page and being a Psychologist I thought it was about psychology, behavioral information. The title intrigued me. I began listening to it and compared The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vince Peale that I read the other day. With Peale's book, I was not very happy with it because his use of the Bible appeared to be superficial but when I listened to this one it seemed to me to be based on biblical underpinnings. I grew up in a Christian Reformed Church (CRC) which was very calm, reserved, and not at all charismatic so I am not a holy roller type, like the “name it and claim it” person like Joel Olsteen’s wealth growing ministry stuff that I am against. I have been more conservative and biblically based person my whole life.Thoughts: The Game of Life and How to Play It, published in 1925, With her classic book, Florence Scovel Shinn established herself as one of the most down-to-earth, practical, and helpful prosperity writers of her era. With a timeless message and the ability to explain success principles and how they work in an entertaining style, her writings are still considered the leaders in prosperity literature today.This author seemed like one of my Christian thought professors that would give examples if faith in God that always worked out well. She seems like a humble, faith-based woman that time stories that seemed like she kiced them, used faith grounded in her belief in God as I wished Dr. Peale did. Why I finished this read:Though I am now Questioning my thoughts BUT I am going with my positive view that she is biblically-based easily readable and rooted in the reality God’s $, He is in absolute power, not us, and when I tithe God has always provided for me and my family. I rated this book today at 5 stars
    • 5/5
      Written in 1925, this book preceded Norman Vincent Peale's The Power of Positive Thinking, by 27 years. It is based on the simple premise that your words (and thoughts) are what determine your experiences. It is full of personal examples and useful affirmations. Biblical references are extensive, remember this was 1925, when being a church goer was pretty much a common denominator for Americans, not the cultural divisor it is today. This message, 88 years later, is still relative and riveting. It's all you need to change your life.
    • 5/5
      Its amazing how relevant this book is today although it was written many years ago!!
    • 5/5
      Classic text on new thought philosophy written by a woman through the harsh times of the Great Depression, yet the ideas are still valid today.
