Why read it?
1 author picked The Game of Life and How to Play It as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is the OG of all law of attraction books. Many of Shinn’s principles have been used by modern authors who don’t give her credit where credit is due. “Your word is your wand” is one of the many expressions that I have highlighted in this book. When I need motivation or a reminder that I am a deliberate creator, I will pick up this book and re-read one of the many inspirational stories. Shinn’s teachings helped me release limiting beliefs and reprogram my subconscious mind, so I can manifest anything I desire.
From Kelly's list on The best books to manifest and attract your dreams and desires.
