Florence Scovel Shinn was a master of life and lifeforce. She was truly in contact with the divine wellspring of wellbeing and knew how to tap into untouched riches. What is more she gives a no nonsense way for you to do the same yourself.

Very inspiring. The affirmations are very effective so far. I have not read all of it yet, however, I believe people find her teachings to be life altering.

I'm a fan of reading and listening to any manifesting books. This book is a combination of manifesting and improving your life by being grateful of what you currently have and what's to come. It teaches you how to make wonders by shifting your perspective from lack to abundance. This is not your typical LOA book like the secret. Florence has compiled her teachings from bible verses and how she interprets it.
Highly recommend if you're a fan of Neville Goddard and Joseph Murphy.

Life changing book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 August 2020Verified Purchase
An audiobook of The of Life and How to Play it found me on YouTube and the title intrigued me. Having listened several times and then discovering more books by FSS I decided I needed to know more, but wanted to read and make notes, hence the book purchase. What an amazing collection that puts so much of bible text in to perspective. I have struggled to understand much of the bible and what it’s telling me but this book just makes sense. I also love the many examples given that make the book personable. Having practised very simple affirmations on a daily basis I can confirm success. This is a life changing book if you go with it and have the determination, discipline and dedication to take action. You can make changes to your life that you previously never thought possible. I would definitely recommend to anyone on a quest for an adventure and who wants to see realisations of their desires manifest. “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”

Soo nice book!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 February 2019Verified Purchase
Very helpful book! Recommended to everyone! Especially to whome who may want to make a good change in life and improve! However it is not a book that you should read it only once and leave it on your desk as you need to learn the subjects very well and become a natural in it. Therefore reading this book as many times as possible is recommended till it is a part of your nature so that you can use the techniques on the daily basis automatically in order to become a better version of you!

A bit on the biblical side but if you can look past that then it’s great. Also, she talks mostly of money issues so if it’s that you want to work on then it would be perfect. Read through this in no time. Helped me change my internal thoughts.
