The Game of Life and How to Play It

About this edition

Life is a game of giving and receiving. Learn the rules, and play it well.

Florence Scovel Shinn believed that life is not a battle but a game, one governed by spiritual laws that anyone can learn. In The Game of Life and How to Play It (1925), the New York artist turned spiritual teacher explains how expectation, imagination and the spoken word shape everyday experience, and how faith and intuition can guide the next step.

Drawing on lively stories from her own practice, of people looking for work, paying a bill, choosing a home or mending a relationship, Shinn turns big ideas into short, memorable statements. Her warm, direct voice has made this little book one of the best-loved classics of New Thought, read and reread for a century.
