The Game of Life and How to Play It


Read by Amy Conger

(4.7 stars; 1210 reviews)

Florence Scovel Shinn, an illustrator living in New York City, became a teacher of New Thought after a divorce. New Thought was a movement which holds the belief that individuals can create their own reality through intentional thoughts and prayer, much like the current Law of Attraction movement. The Game of Life and How to Play It is her first book, and is remarkable for being written by a woman and meant for a genteel female audience. (Summary from Wikipedia) (2 hr 41 min)

Awakening


(5 stars)

I am 45 years old. And this way of thinking, giving and receiving is what I have lived by since I was 13 years old. my Mother introduced my siblings and me to it. I never forgot. My Fiancee and I are purchasing our home in Puerto Rico in February and by My birthday we will be in our Beautiful Home in Puerto Rico; we see flowers, we have successful businesses and we are going to assist the Community. This is so right.

I liked the examples the author gave about how your believes will manifest. On the other hand, the book was very heavy on Christian concepts as opposed to metaphysical concepts that are generic to every religion. It is very possible that I have missed the connection between the title (life is a game) and the content (infinite intelligence and the power to create). Gamification of life (in my mind) seems more consistent with trial and error and weaponizing addiction to good values. I don't see how someone, who believes that there is infinite intelligence and that he could ubite with it, can view life as a game.

The best book in the world

I've been listening to this audiobook for quite some time off and on throughout my life and each time I've listen to it I've been able to-receive something from the book that I've never received before it's amazing how life experiences can bring things to your attention I rate this book like a five-star I find some times to be almost as practical as the Bible and I learned so many things from thanks Florence for writing this wonderful work of art

After reading many of Louise Hay's books, and her references to this book, I am so glad LibriVox carries this book for free and has such a wonderful reader. This book further changed my perceptions and is an amazing read to lift one's spirits. It is astounding that even though it was written over more than a hundred years ago, is still timeless and applicable. Ms. Shinn is pioneer of her time.

Wonderfully Read


(4.5 stars)

There are few books on leading a successful life as important as "The Game of Life and How To Play It". This reading of Mrs. Shinn's most wonderful work, is wonderfully read by Amy's lovely voice, and her perfect intonation. It is a pleasure to listen to. Thank you ma'am. You deserve a 5 * rating, as does the book.

good advice


(4 stars)

This is a good review of the power of positive thinking and how we should live with one another. She has a good way of telling us a “rule” of life and then immediately explaining the rule with a “for example “ which makes it easy to follow. There are many biblical references which add to her discussion.

amazing narrator, amazing audiobook


(5 stars)

Amy is an amazing narrator and this book is absolutely fantastic. Don’t take my word for it, give it a listen. A lot of examples of LOA techniques you can use which work. Be prepared. For it to work you also should drop all inner resistances and let life flow through you.
