Synopsis "The Game of Life And How To Play It"

The Game of Life And How To Play It is the first book written by Florence Scovel Shinn. The Game of Life And How To Play It, holds that ignorance of, or carelessness with the application of various laws of metaphysics, such as the law of expectancy, or the power of words, or the law of karma, etc., can bring about undesirable life events. Florence Scovel Shinn was a new thought spiritual teacher and a metaphysical writer. Florence Scovel Shinn is best known for her new thought and self help books. Florence Scovel Shinn includes biblical quotes in her writings along with anecdotal explanations of her understanding of God and man. However Florence Scovel Shinn's philosophy centers on the power of positive thought and usually includes instructions for verbal or physical affirmation. Some consider Shinn's work to be of the religion & spirituality genre and more so of the new age & spirituality genre. It appears that Shinn's work The Game of Life And How To Play It, has influenced popular best selling books such as The Secret. While Shinn is a big part of the self help and new thought movement, Florence Scovel Shinn's writings are in the tradition of accomplished new thought teachers Charles Fillmore and Phineas Quimby.
