“I cast this burden of resentment on the Christ within, and I go free, to be loving, harmonious and happy.” – 4.5/5 stars!

Attention! This book contains: manifestation tips, a lot of examples, affirmations, and a great dose of inspiration.

Explore the wisdom of a New Thought classic and master the game of life!

In this classic bestseller, 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. This new edition of The Game of Life and How to Play It combines the text of Shinn’s original edition with a sleek design that will inspire a new generation of readers.

Ooh, I loved this book! I needed a little inspiration and this hit the spot – and of course, I found it at the right time!

It reminded me a lot of “The Secret” because it’s a book that teaches how you can manifest whatever you want in life. It teaches you how to use your thoughts and words in your favor – you just have to follow a set of “rules” to do it harmoniously. And the best part is that the author gives you plenty of examples!

There’s a big connection to religion here, so keep that in mind if you decide to get into this book. There are a lot of biblical references, but I truly believe you can still take the lessons from this book, no matter what your beliefs are.

I took a lot from this book, especially the part where the author talks about asking what you want as long as it’s according to our divine plan. Meaning, that it has to come into our life harmoniously if it’s meant to be ours. That made a lot of sense to me, and it made me reflect on my wishes and how I make them!

Not gonna lie, the writing was a little difficult to understand at times because it was originally published in the 1920s and the writing is a little different. Keep in mind I’m not a native English speaker.

I’ve already recommended this book to a few of my closest friends, and I’m sure they will take something from this book. And to be honest, I’m sure I’ll read this again in the future!
