The Game of Life and How to Play It — the printed book

From the contributor

Florence Scovel Shinn wrote something rare: a book that speaks plainly about the invisible laws that govern our lives. Her words have stayed alive for a century because they point at something real — the way our inner world creates our outer one.

I added reflections and practical guidance to explain what she meant and help readers carry her teachings into everyday life. My hope is that this edition makes her wisdom easier to receive and easier to use, wherever you are in your own journey.

— Avi Itzkovitch
