The Game of Life and How to Play It
About This Book
First published in 1925 and continuously in print ever since, The Game of Life and How to Play It is one of the founding texts of the New Thought movement and among the most influential metaphysical guides ever written. Florence Scovel Shinn taught that life operates according to precise spiritual laws — laws of karma, attraction, giving, and right action — and that the person who understands and aligns themselves with these laws will find that life begins to flow with extraordinary grace, abundance, and harmony.
Shinn's genius was in making these teachings concrete and immediately applicable, illustrating every principle with real case studies drawn from her years of practice as a metaphysical counsellor in New York. The book covers the specific use of affirmations, the role of genuine faith versus mere wishful thinking, the mechanics of intuition and right action, and the profound connection between one's inner state — particularly the state of love and gratitude — and the outer conditions one attracts and creates.
What You'll Learn
Readers will understand the spiritual laws that govern the flow of abundance, love, and right circumstances in human life, learn the proper use of affirmation as a practice for genuinely aligning consciousness with spiritual law rather than as a form of magical thinking, discover the role of intuition and right action as the channels through which spiritual law expresses itself in practical life, and develop genuine confidence in the law of giving and receiving as a fundamental mechanism of authentic prosperity — not just material wealth but the full prosperity of a life lived in alignment with divine intelligence.
