Author of the book, the well-known writer in the West Florence Shinn, claims: life is a game, and it depends on us whether we can succeed in it. Our dreams influence imagination. What we ask for leaves a deep imprint in the soul. These images sooner or later take on flesh and blood. We meet our projections, but don’t recognize them; we get indignant, fight, and complain, forgetting the main thing. Meanwhile, we can win back a loved one, obtain a large sum of money, and gain unlimited influence—we only need to know the rules by which one must play. The book includes four works by Florence Shinn: “The Game of Life and How to Play It,” “Your Word Is a Magic Wand,” “The Secret Door to Success,” and “The Power of the Spoken Word.”
