Florence Scovel Shinn1925
Primary Sourcecomplete

A foundational text of the New Thought movement, presenting life as a game of 'giving and receiving' governed by spiritual laws. Shinn explores the power of words, the subconscious mind, and the 'law of attraction' long before it became a mainstream term. The book provides practical affirmations and anecdotes intended to manifest health, wealth, and success by aligning one's thoughts and speech with divine abundance.
