Summary: The Game of Life and How to Play It
Review: I find it amazing that so many readers benefited from this book (I guess I should clarify that I listened to the audio cassette). I was very disappointted on how everything in this book relates to spirituallity. The answer to everything was to just 'believe' or 'pray'. I come from the real world. You can't just wish your way to what you want. You need to work at it. Unfortunately this book gives no tangible tools to help you 'Play the Game of Life'. If you are logical, scientific, and down to earth, you will not like this book. It was very difficult to listen through the whole thing (just 65 minutes). Even from a spiritual stand point, I do not agree with Florence's focus on pursing wealth and worldly things through Jesus.

Summary: simply divine
Review: I found this book in the local library...and as a regular reader of personal development books this is an absolute must. I have read it, re-read it, and will read it again. The process of change is gentle, gentle, with no hard work, no burdens, just a quiet persistence that comes from finally comprehending what it is to have faith that you have Infinite Spirit as your main resource, and to believe in one's true destiny...Magnificence.

Summary: This Book will change your Life!
Review: I have read many self development books yet it was this book that made me finally understand how simple it really is. There are distinct Laws of the Universe that when acknowledged and applied correctly will bring you everything that is yours by Divine Right. As a society in general, we have been led to believe that life is much more difficult than it really is. Success in all areas of your Life is not hard to attain at all-- that is of course, if you know the game and how to play it! Read this book and change the way you look at yourself and more importantly how you look at every situation. Remember-it's not the situation- it's how you look at the situation that shapes your destiny. I can not stress enough the positive impact that you will see happen in your life and the people's lives around you when you read this book and apply the principles and affirmations. You will begin to see all your dreams start to come true right before your eyes and you'll find yourself saying, "I can't believe it was that simple..." I thank K. Orlich for recommending this book to me...and I thank Amazon.com for always having it in stock. Read this simple book--and more importantly--apply what you have learned and you will truly change your life.

Summary: a spiritual guide for living
Review: I have used this book for over 20 years to help me ride out the challenges in my life. Every time something comes up and I am at a loss I turn to the words Florence Scovel Shinn so eloquently gave us. It is a small but powerful book that keeps one grounded in the spiritual laws of success. Many have written on the topic but none so succinctly and powerfully as she has. This book will enrich your life and guide you to all your heart desires. It teaches you how to get in touch with the spiritual force inside of you. It gives you rules for living. The most important thing I've learned is "you control the situation when you control yourself." Shinn teaches you that you bring into your life all you have be it good or not so good. She reminds you it's not what happens but how you react to it that makes a difference. What I like the most is she tells you things with very few words. Sometimes it's hard to grasp what she means but eventually it comes and you feel empowered. An example was "an intellectual knowledge of the truth does not make it so." It took the longest time to understand that one line but one day I felt something from my soul or heart and not my mind and then I knew really knew what she meant. If you want to get your life on track and you want to move forward get this book and apply the principles she gives.

Summary: A perfect gift to share with loved ones
Review: I read the "game of life" during a period of great personal and spiritual reflection. Shinn was able to capture in 95 short pages, what others have taken volumes to say. What I found most impressive was her ability to bridge metaphysical with christian philosophies. This is in my estimation is a very sophisticated skill. Obviously ahead of her time, she was able to master this over 75 years ago. After reading only the first ten pages, I had consciously decided to gift a copy of this little gem to each of my closest friends and loved ones for christmnas.

Summary: The Game of Life and How to Play it.
Review: I recieved this somewhat religious, inspirational and instructional book when I was a teen and while it took me over a year to read it the first time, I have read it many times since. This very short book evokes very deep thought,in my opinion, and mostly refers to the consequences and rewards to ways of thinking. I believe this book is a very inspirational, guide to living great. I believe that this book could be enjoyed by many diverse people and may be particulary usefull for those seeking guidance to living positively.
