The Game of Life and How to Play It
Description
The Game of Life and How to Play It is a book by Florence Scovel Shinn, first published in 1925. Blending elements of metaphysics, biblical allegory, and the power of affirmations, Shinn’s work presents life as a game governed by spiritual laws. She emphasizes the idea that one's words and beliefs shape their reality, and that aligning oneself with divine guidance leads to success, health, and happiness.
The book was part of the early 20th-century New Thought movement, which sought to reconcile spiritual principles with practical outcomes in daily living. Florence Scovel Shinn, originally an illustrator and metaphysical teacher, wrote with a direct and conversational style that resonated with readers who found more academic or religious texts too dry or inaccessible.
Her teachings on the "Law of Attraction" predate and anticipate later self-help trends, positioning her as an early influencer in the genre. The Game of Life and How to Play It has remained consistently popular due to its timeless message of faith, intuition, and the creative power of thought.
