Publisher's Summary
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.

The game of life
Very enjoyable to me. The narrator was very easy to listen to. The information given was useful. The ideas were written well.

Not my cup of tea
There are too many references to the Bible. I will try to return this book.

Wonderful book
I consider Jennifer Jill Araya to be the best female narrator for « The Game of Life and How to Play It ».
You will get a lot out of this New Thought book if you focus your attention on the essence of Florence Scovel Shinn’s teachings. Don’t forget that this book was published in 1925.

good quick listen
you don't have to be religious to get something out of this book. there's also a bit of a sexist undertone to a few of the stories but that's to be expected for the time it was written.

Cannot finish, the examples are silly
I’m all for the concept of having faith but these stories are ridiculous. Here’s an example: a woman was troubled because the bank gave her an extra $20 by mistake. She thought about why this problem befell her. The story claims it was karmic payback because the woman sent a $20 joke bill to a friend. She repented to the bank because according to the author “God doesn’t understand jokes” and then the bank was so happy that they gave her another $20.

Excellent book! But Audio overlaps & skips in places
The book is PHENOMENAL! I’d recommend it a million times!
However the audiobook needs to be reuploaded. In some places she will be talking mid-sentence and then all of the sudden her own voice will overlap, saying something from a future passage and then it will just continue on in the new spot, having skipped multiple sentences.
This is a reflection of the upload, not the reader’s performance

Freaking brilliant!
I have studied in practice these principles for many years. Never in one book, let alone one so small, has been so mighty and its ability to encapsulate truth and how the universe works. Rather than seeing this as a religious writing, I recommend seeing Jesus as a master metaphysician who practiced these truths to the perfection that is.

If you want to feel like you just went to church
I tried to look past all the god references, but that’s all the book is about . God this god that and no eve if if you believe in god . It’s an old book and needs to be kept in the past.

This book is nonsense
I made it about halfway through the book. This is the first book I was not able to finish. I do believe in a positive mindset but this book takes it to the next level. just believe everything is going to be fine and it will be no matter what. if it isn't, it's because you didn't believe. Don't waste your time or your money.
