AlbakiReads Editorial

A New Thought approach to life and personal success

Florence Scovel Shinn’s book presents life through the New Thought idea that what people give through their actions, energy, and attitudes returns to them. Its central contrast is between fear and pessimism on one side and positive attitudes and affirmations on the other, linking those outlooks to how a person meets everyday life. This edition combines the original text with a redesigned presentation, keeping Shinn’s early personal-success framework at the center. The book’s guiding metaphor treats life as an exchange of giving and receiving, not a struggle against the world.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in New Thought writing and its approach to personal success
  • Those exploring affirmations and positive attitudes as themes in personal-growth books
  • Readers seeking the original text in a redesigned edition

Book overview

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.
