About this listen

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.

Minor mistake In Recording

Great information to apply in our lives. Toward the end the oral text is overlapped a few times. It would be great if they fixed it

Wow just ...wow!

This book went by too quickly. While some of the language and references are as outdated as they should be, the principles and teachings are timeless. I don't think I can be the same after this as I was before.

Inspiring. More religious than I expected. 

I found this title through a podcast. Downloaded for the motivation and manifestation aspects. In listening I realize there are more mentions of Jesus Christ than I expected. It’s not offputting just caught me off guard. I’m not a religious person, but I am a spiritual person and this book might have been just what I needed at the time .

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.
