Reviews for The Game of Life and How to Play It

[dip2atl · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Its amazing how relevant this book is today although it was written many years ago!!

[gnorma_2 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Written in 1925, this book preceded Norman Vincent Peale's The Power of Positive Thinking, by 27 years. It is based on the simple premise that your words (and thoughts) are what determine your experiences. It is full of personal examples and useful affirmations. Biblical references are extensive, remember this was 1925, when being a church goer was pretty much a common denominator for Americans, not the cultural divisor it is today. This message, 88 years later, is still relative and riveting. It's all you need to change your life.

Classic text on new thought philosophy written by a woman through the harsh times of the Great Depression, yet the ideas are still valid today.
