Great For Kids or Adults, June 6, 2005
By Tim Challies (Oakville, Ontario) - See all my reviews


This review is from: The Fallacy Detective: Thirty-six lessons on how to recognize bad reasoning (Paperback)
The Fallacy Detective, written by Hans and Nathaniel Bluedorn, is a book designed for teens or adults that teaches how to spot common errors in reasoning. The goals for this book are clearly laid out in the introduction. When the reader has completed this book he should be able to put a high value on good reasoning, know how to spot many forms of bad reasoning and know how to avoid using many fallacies in his own reasoning.

The authors provide a vision of Christian logic in which they appeal to the need for Christians to strive for a higher standard of reasoning, in order to attain greater ability in discernment. Logic is an important foundation for the science of discernment. Thus they seek to define good reasoning in a biblical way. "Logic is the science of thinking the way God thinks - the way Jesus taught us to think" (page 14).

The book contains thirty-six lessons which progress from the most common and basic fallacies, to statistical fallacies and even propaganda. All those terms I have not heard since my university Critical Thinking courses are present as well as some that are commonly used and misused: red herring, ad hominem, tu quoque, appeal to the people, part-to-whole, whole-to-part and so on. Each lesson is followed by several questions which allow the reader to apply what he has just learned. I was glad to see that the questions are cumulative, meaning that what has been taught in previous lessons is continually reviewed in the application questions for subsequent chapters.

The authors write in a style that will appeal to teens and young people. The text is interspersed with comics (such as Calvin & Hobbes, Peanunts and Dilbert) and anecdotes. It is also a funny book, as there are many places where the authors turn to humor to make the book enjoyable. A typical lesson may begin similar to this one, which discusses weak analogies: "Let's say...you are a budding scientist wanting to write your graduate thesis on the long term effects of Pop-Tarts on humans. The only problem is, you can't find enough people who are willing to eat thirty-four Pop-Tarts a day for one year" (page 131).

Can learning logic be fun? With The Fallacy Detective it appears that it can be. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who wants to improve his reasoning skills. While its primary usefulness will be for teenagers, adults will also enjoy it and benefit from the lessons. If you homeschool your children, this may be a useful title.

Hilarious and educational, August 11, 2005
A Kid's Review

A wonderful little logic book, that can be enjoyed on several levels. First of all it is a great homeschooling resource. Second, it's a useful way to get research if you're stuck on a logic test. Thirdly, it is peppered throughout with great cartoons from the classics "Calvin and Hobbes" and "Peanuts" as well as the less classic "Dilbert." Lastly, it's just plain hilarious! You'll laugh your head off with anecdotes about putting a smoke detector in the fireplace. Absolutely, don't miss. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

Cute with a critical thinking point, February 21, 2005
By E. Johnson (El Cajon, CA United States) - See all my reviews


This review is from: The Fallacy Detective: Thirty-six lessons on how to recognize bad reasoning (Paperback)
The Fallacy Detective cannot be a good book because it was written by homeschoolers.

Ooops, there I go again, using a genetic fallacy. It's what you'll learn from a couple of home-school educated detectives who aim their book at those 13 and older. There are a number of cartoons--from Peanuts and Dilbert to a cartoon written by the authors' sister--that help keep interest in the simple, straightforward book as it deals with several dozen common fallacies. The exercises will help keep the student on the straight and narrow, making sure the ideas are solidified in the mind. I do recommend this book for kids as well as adults who would like to sharpen their critical thinking skills. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

Have a blast while learning, September 2, 2005
By L. B. Jarratt "Mind & Media Book Reviewer" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews


This is the second book I have read from the Bluedorns. The first was the The Thinking Toolbox. The Bluedorns sent me this book to review. It is titled The Fallacy Detective and was written by Nathaniel & Hans Bluedorn.

They again have done a wonderful job of laying out the fallacies in a way that is easy to understand. It is broken down into 36 lessons, so you can 1 per day if you wish. The problems they have at the end of each section are great and build on each other. Don't forget to try out the Fallacy Game they provide at the end of the book. You'll have a blast while learning.

I have been using this book to watch my own writings and the comments I receive on my blog so I will improve. It has been very helpful. I read a section a day and them try to apply it to my writings and questions from commenter's. I have learned to recognize many of the fallacies quickly and not get drawn into the traps that others are trying to set for me. I don't always succeed at that, but I am improving thanks to the Bluedorns'. Keep up the good work guys.

I would recommend this book to all writers, politicians whether you are a novice or an expert. There is always some little tidbit of knowledge to learn. I have learned a lot. I would stick to the recommendation on this book that it book be read or studied by teenagers and above. Most younger kids would not understand the differences between the fallacies.

Excellent and practical, August 20, 2005
By K. Davis "Homeschoolbuzz.com" - See all my reviews


One of the most important gifts any parents can give their child is wisdom.
The book of Proverbs tells us to acquire wisdom, pursue it, love it, and guard it.
The Fallacy Detective, teaching classical logic from a Christian worldview, is one practical tool that will help you and your children down the path to wisdom. With thirty-six lessons you will be well on your way to a discerning, inquiring mind. The book explains such things as what are fallacies, assumptions, generalizations, analogies, and propaganda. But more than that, it will teach you good reasoning skills in a biblical way. Written in an intelligent, yet easy to grasp manner, the Bluedorn brothers have produced a fine book here. Peppered with humor and an occasional comic strip, your children will enjoy using this book and playing the Fallacy Detective game to help them apply what they've learned.
The book is "self-teaching" with lessons that are short, interesting and fun. However, it is recommended that lessons be done together with your children, as discussions are crucial to help develop thinking skills and abilities to spot bad reasoning.
If you homeschool for reasons of faith or worldview, it's important for your children to be able to discern truth from lie, spot fallacies and defend their view. The Fallacy Detective will help you to equip your children to stand firm against the moral relativism of this world.
Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. - 1 Peter 3:15 Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

A very helpful book, February 27, 2006
By Sheldon - See all my reviews

I'm only half done this book, but already I find it very hgelpful. It's broken up into 36 lessons, each one foccusing on a different fallacy, and how to recognize them. There's also plenty of examples in each lesson, which really helps. Another thing I like about it is the comics spread throughout the book. So if you're one on logic, then get this book!

Excellent book for learning how NOT to think..., May 24, 2005
By Zack Reynolds (Fort Collins, CO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Fallacy Detective: Thirty-six lessons on how to recognize bad reasoning (Paperback)
I recommend this book for anyone who is new to logic--or perhaps doesn't even know what logic is (by the way, logic is a method of reasoning). In this easy-to-read book (with some great cartoons and illustrations), the Bluedorn brothers cover various topics dealing with bad reasoning skills. For example, they cover avoiding the question, making assumptions, statistical fallacies, and propaganda.

Avoiding the question is something politicians are good at, but after reading this book, you'll recognize--oh so quickly--every time they avoid the question--especially in debates, such as the presidential debates.

Most ads are filled with propaganda, which is hype designed to mislead. However, after you read this book, you won't look at ads like you used to.

So if you want to learn how not to think, this is a good book to start you on your way. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

A good text for teenagers, October 11, 2006
By Catherine Hood (Tennessee USA) - See all my reviews


I was a math major, and studied quite a bit of logic in school, but I still learned a great deal from this book.

I knew before about red herrings, but I didn't know where that phrase came from. Now I also know about other ways to "cheat" in an argument, and I know all the right names for them. Next time my political-science-oriented husband and I watch a debate or speech or one of those Sunday shows on some political issue, I'm going to spot the fallacies more easily and call them by their name!

It's written for teenagers, and sometimes that bothers me. I suppose they are trying to make it more interesting, but as an adult, I felt like I was being talked down to. For me, there were too many uses of "dude!" in the text for me to take the book completely seriously. I appreciated the use of comic strips, though, like Lucy using "an appeal to fear" when talking to Linus, or using a "red herring" when talking to Charlie Brown.

The Bluedorns state that the book is written from a Christian perspective. If you have teenagers who are Christians or who can read something written by Christians, then I think this is a great book to help teach logic. I'm looking forward to going through it with my teenagers when the time comes. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

A New Classic, March 15, 2006
By Barbara Coyle (Ireland) - See all my reviews


The last time I read a book about logic was in college for a class called Symbolic Logic. It is only memorable to me because I agonized over it every day all quarter, and only passed the class because my math-major roomate was taking it with me and tutored me. However, the logic book that I've just finished reading, The Fallacy Detective, was a pleasure to read. Taking examples from everyday situations, advertisements, political speeches and cartoons, the authors point out and explain about thirty logical fallacies. Exercises at the end of each chapter test how well you have grasped the material. What is more, the book is written by Christians and for Christians, giving the topic a secure foundation in truth. Interesting, humorous, and well-written, I'd say this book will be a classic on the subject.

Reading the book reminded me that as Christians we need to be able to think clearly. The media, the politicians, and the cultists are all trying to persuade us to think in a certain way. The Bible tells us that "The simple believes every word, but the prudent considers well his steps" (Proverbs 14:15). Knowing how to spot logical fallacies will help us not to "believe every word," but instead to be discerning and wise.

Poor logic and writing, June 24, 2008
By Book Dad (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews

Hoping to ignite good mealtime conversation and teach my children some reasoning skills, I began reading this book to my family at the dinner table. Once I reached chapter two, our conversation turned to how the authors used so many fallacies themselves. In the first two paragraphs of chapter two, where the lessons begin, they used three fallacies, one in the first sentence.

The writing is also lacking. For example, these homeschooled authors improperly used "which" multiple times. As a homeschooling dad, I found it troubling that they displayed such a lack of basic skills.

I gave the book two stars instead of one, because their ideas are solid. Their presentation, however, is sorely lacking. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

the fallacy detective, March 2, 2009
By teacher 60 - See all my reviews

This would be a good book for any teacher teaching Speech Class. I am using it this year in my speech class. I starts with asking What is a Fallacy?Then goes on to tell you how best to use this book. It has a chapter on The Inquiring MInd where it gives you examples of people not using their minds and then ends up with examples of you to choose whether these people were using their minds or not.Lesson 4 teaches you about The Red Herring Fallacy and then goes on in the next chapter telling you how to recognize it.There is a chapter on the Ad Hominem, the Genetic Fallacy, the Tu Quoque, Faulty Appeal to Authority, Appeal to People, Straw Man(where someone would change or exaggerate an opponent's position or argument)There are chapters on Making Assumption, Circular Reasoning,Loaded Questions, Part to Whole. the Book goes into Statistical Fallacies and Generalizations, Analogies. There is about 50 pages of different types of Propoganda and how it is used. At the end of the book they have a game you can play. there are also Answer Keys because at the end of each chapter they give you Exercises. Thrown throughout the book are Peanuts Cartoons, Calvin and Hobes,Dilbert, that have to do with the subject they are on. The Chapters are relatively short and can be read in any order.

Fallacy in Critical Thinking, May 30, 2008
By Alexander Douglas (Cedar Hill, TX United States) - See all my reviews


The brothers Nathaniel and Hans Bluedorn have written an easy to understand book in the common fallacies of reasoning that break logical arguments. As an elderly reader who has forgotten much of the material, it is a refreshing and humorous reminder of these basic fallacies. Written for a 7th grade reading ability, it nonetheless is enjoyable for all ages. Critical thinking is a lost discipline in modern life since the government schools deliberately dumb down education to keep the masses stupid. Coming from a Christian world view these home school taught boys revive this lost discipline in a fun manner. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

Good reading on detecting bad reasoning, January 16, 2008
By Avid Reader (Springfield, MA) - See all my reviews

We bought this book to give our homeschooled son (10) an introductory course on critical thinking. The short (approx 4 pages average) chapters are cute and illustrate logical fallacies we all come across each day. My wife and son read one chapter a day. A set of questions at the end of the chapter allow you to test knowledge acquired from the chapter. The answers for all questions are at the end of the book. It works well to read the chapter together and then try the questions and check the answers afterwards. A chapter can be done in this method in about 20 minutes, with discussion. The book uses many cartoons and illustrations to exemplify fallacies. A light, fun read of what is often taught as a dry, boring subject. Get this book and teach your child (or yourself) to think through the arguments people present to justify their positions. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

Tempts me to give up the faith, August 5, 2008
By Stephanie Desmond (Toronto) - See all my reviews


Can somebody please tell me why a "Christian perspective" has to mean "creationist perspective"? This is not a group with which I want to identify.

Every creationist who has read this first sentence will probably dart down to click the "not helpful" button before reading on, and this is precisely the kind of non-thinking that I wish to avoid imparting to my children. For this reason, I will be throwing out my copy of this book.

I found this book terrible because it mixes legitimate learning with propaganda, a most insidious and distasteful form of lying. It does give good coverage of fallacies, but it sneaks in little bits of dogma, particularly creationist dogma, which is 100% unbackable, and which has zero right to show up in a book about critical thinking - particularly as it is presented in the manner outlined in the chapter on repetition propaganda. Students really ought to be encouraged to start with the evidence and work toward an unbiased conclusion, rather than starting with the conclusion and digging around for evidence. The authors outline common fallacies and then commit the fallacies to promote a political agenda, which I find highly unsavory.

The book also contradicts itself many times - for example, it calls a quotation from an expert a valid appeal to authority, but then goes on to attempt to discount the peer-reviewed findings of every legitimate scientist since 1900. It warns about the danger of equivocation - changing the definition of a word partway through an argument - and then goes on to warn against scientific "theories" as if they were unsupported guesses, calling them "repetition propaganda" just because every scientist you ask will agree about them. In science, in order to be classified as a theory, an idea must be supported by 100% of the available evidence. It is not the same as the common definition of the word, which the authors attempt to apply, sneakily, to the theories of scientists.

With a few pages torn out, it might just make a relatively good textbook, but why take the trouble? Critical thinking does not deserve to be mixed with dogma. Find a real logic book. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

Fallacy Tutorial Pro true,valid,sound

http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/


Description of Fallacies
In order to understand what a fallacy is, one must understand what an argument is. Very briefly, an argument consists of one or more premises and one conclusion. A premise is a statement (a sentence that is either true or false) that is offered in support of the claim being made, which is the conclusion (which is also a sentence that is either true or false).
There are two main types of arguments: deductive and inductive. A deductive argument is an argument such that the premises provide (or appear to provide) complete support for the conclusion. An inductive argument is an argument such that the premises provide (or appear to provide) some degree of support (but less than complete support) for the conclusion. If the premises actually provide the required degree of support for the conclusion, then the argument is a good one. A good deductive argument is known as a valid argument and is such that if all its premises are true, then its conclusion must be true. If all the argument is valid and actually has all true premises, then it is known as a sound argument. If it is invalid or has one or more false premises, it will be unsound. A good inductive argument is known as a strong (or "cogent") inductive argument. It is such that if the premises are true, the conclusion is likely to be true.
A fallacy is, very generally, an error in reasoning. This differs from a factual error, which is simply being wrong about the facts. To be more specific, a fallacy is an "argument" in which the premises given for the conclusion do not provide the needed degree of support. A deductive fallacy is a deductive argument that is invalid (it is such that it could have all true premises and still have a false conclusion). An inductive fallacy is less formal than a deductive fallacy. They are simply "arguments" which appear to be inductive arguments, but the premises do not provided enough support for the conclusion. In such cases, even if the premises were true, the conclusion would not be more likely to be true.

This Book will change your Life!, August 4, 1999
By Laura Zane Aveton (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews

I have read many self development books yet it was this book that made me finally understand how simple it really is. There are distinct Laws of the Universe that when acknowledged and applied correctly will bring you everything that is yours by Divine Right.
As a society in general, we have been led to believe that life is much more difficult than it really is. Success in all areas of your Life is not hard to attain at all-- that is of course, if you know the game and how to play it!

Read this book and change the way you look at yourself and more importantly how you look at every situation. Remember-it's not the situation- it's how you look at the situation that shapes your destiny.

I can not stress enough the positive impact that you will see happen in your life and the people's lives around you when you read this book and apply the principles and affirmations. You will begin to see all your dreams start to come true right before your eyes and you'll find yourself saying, "I can't believe it was that simple..."

I thank K. Orlich for recommending this book to me...and I thank Amazon.com for always having it in stock. Read this simple book--and more importantly--apply what you have learned and you will truly change your life.

Unfailing Absolute Truth in the Universal Laws of Life, April 11, 2004
By Barbara Rose (BornToInspire.com) - See all my reviews


This review is from: Game of Life (Paperback)
Florence Scovel Shinn brings a true and divine book to humanity in order to rise above all negativity and embrace our true heritage as divine beings.

This wonderful gem of a book covers the law of prosperity, the power of the word, the law of nonresistance, the laws of karma and forgiveness, impressing the subconscious mind, love, intuition and your inner guidance, your divine self expression and denials and affirmations. The beautiful and beneficial teachings quote the words of Jesus Christ many times, explaining their meaning and application in your life. This is an important book to refer back to whenever you are in doubt, as well as if you are trying to figure out how to move forward on your path with the ease, prosperity, and divine purpose you have.

Highly recommended for its unfailing Divine Truth.

The Game of Life and How To Play It, January 16, 2000
By Patti Ahrens (Washington State) - See all my reviews

This book was given to my family as a gift eighteen years ago. I have personally given it as a gift more times than I can count over the years. I now work as a Psychic Counselor and talk to people over the world. I recommend this book to all of my clients. The thank-you's that each bring back to me when people read this book tells me that more people are working to make this world a brighter place. The wholesomeness of looking at the world through Florence Scovill Shinn's eyes mirrors a wonderful world of positiveness that we all should follow. In my daily life she has been a constant reminder that what we say think and do, reflects in every area of our life. I had hoped someday to tell more people about this book thanks to amazon I can. My suggestion is read and re-read Florences' book you will learn something new about yourself every time you do. Thank-you to the publishers who continue printing her book and Amazon continues the sales Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

Wise and Way Ahead of Her Time..., September 3, 2006
By MommaMotorBiker (Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Game of Life and How to Play It (Prosperity Classic) (Paperback)
Though not a large book, this is a very worthwhile read and easily digested in bites. So if you only have small bits of time to sit and read, you won't get lost with this one.

In rebuttal of previous negative reviews, part of my background and education is a degree in Theology, and further studies into world religions and ancient texts. As someone who understands extensive biblical study - and I mean cross referencing original greek, aramaic and hebrew texts, as well as many, many authors and researchers works, writing theses and all the other such efforts required in such education and credentials, I still find this book compelling.

It was not the easiest read for me initially as Florence speaks in terms of things that I had never, at the time, really heard much of before. It was a new kind of thinking for me. The only reason why I was reading the book was because an 80+ year old lady recommended it to me and asked me to.

I found myself challenged in thought/perception, moral philosophy and interpretation by a book written in 1925! And unlike anything I had read up until that time. There were times I was very frustrated by what I read. Yet, in the end, I not only could not argue with her assertions and interpretations, I found truth and peace in them. The experience catalytically changed my perspective, opened my world and even improved my life in doing so. Today, there is no other book in my collection (of multiple bookcases of various sources) with more permanently housed bookmarks and notations. I could not now recommend a book more highly than this one for self-improvement. It is very positively written with hope and love. Remember that the creation of reality begins with the foundation of thought. Florence teaches according to this principle and touches on elements that can also be found in science and quantum physics, another study I highly recommend.

If you're reading this because you're at a point of seeking in your life, it's a pretty unassuming, economical little book and well worth the return.

read this book and have everything you want, July 30, 2000
By A Customer

I came acroos this book by accident, I bought it with several others and it stayed on by bookshelf for a long time, a time in which I was miserable and just didn't see any way out. Then one day I ran across it, I began reading it in bed, figuring I would be through it that night since it was less than 100 pages. Boy was I wrong. I began repeating the passages and it was like a burden was lifted off of my shoulders, I cried like I was finally free of all of the negative things in my life and that I was finaly going to get everything I wanted, even if it was not mine by devine right. This book will enlighten you and show you that everything that you want may just make you miserable and you'll regret it if you don't ask for things that really belong to you. How did this book change my life? After being single for a long time and dating all the wrong men, I met the man who was mine by divine right. I studied this book nightly before we met, I was even dating a Doctor and then I met my husband and knew that he was the one. And the wierd part was he had just moved from Cocoa Beach Florida, and I lived near Chicago, and we met in the middle of winter. He told me he quit his job and moved up here because he knew there was a reason. The reason was to find me. So when I concentrate and know that I can have it all, it comes true with amazing accuracy. It's true, life is a game and you need this "game manual" to show you how it's played. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

A "How-to" Manual to the Power of Belief, April 5, 2004
By A Customer

This book is powerful. I have used it's principles for manifesting many good things for me and my family...."under grace in perfect ways."
This book may be pigeon-holed as a new age book. I am a Christian and found that it it aligns well with the teachings of Christ. And would think that it would be useful to most of the pupils of the many flavors of spirituality.

Reading this book will change your life. It has been a comfort and source of inspiration to me.

Best wishes to all~!

Fantastic, May 24, 2004
By Master of Light Chick "Master of Light Chick" (Westport, CT) - See all my reviews

This is one of my favorite books! I keep buying copies to give away to friends. It is short and to the point about leading a positive life and wishing others well. It amazes me that it was written in the 20's as it is a timeless classic. If everyone read this and followed the simple principles in this book, we'd live happier lives and be kinder to one another.

The Game of Life and How to Play It, January 30, 2001
By A Customer

This was an AWESOME book! From the first line in the first chapter I was hooked and knew that this book was going to tell me what I needed to know...or rather, be reminded of! It made me re-think my whole way of THINKING about myself and my life. And the fact that the basis of the book is completely spiritual and how to apply spiritual teachings to your every day life, made me like it even more. I read this book in one day and have now picked it up again for a second time just so that I can reinforce my way of thinking now. Ms. Shinn tells you in a 'matter of fact' way that life is a game that you CAN win if you play correctly...and to play correctly, you must use your spiritual teachings to do so. Anyone who is spiritual-minded will enjoy and get a lot from this book. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

a spiritual guide for living, October 31, 1999
By lujira (New York) - See all my reviews

I have used this book for over 20 years to help me ride out the challenges in my life. Every time something comes up and I am at a loss I turn to the words Florence Scovel Shinn so eloquently gave us. It is a small but powerful book that keeps one grounded in the spiritual laws of success. Many have written on the topic but none so succinctly and powerfully as she has. This book will enrich your life and guide you to all your heart desires. It teaches you how to get in touch with the spiritual force inside of you. It gives you rules for living. The most important thing I've learned is "you control the situation when you control yourself." Shinn teaches you that you bring into your life all you have be it good or not so good. She reminds you it's not what happens but how you react to it that makes a difference. What I like the most is she tells you things with very few words. Sometimes it's hard to grasp what she means but eventually it comes and you feel empowered. An example was "an intellectual knowledge of the truth does not make it so." It took the longest time to understand that one line but one day I felt something from my soul or heart and not my mind and then I knew really knew what she meant. If you want to get your life on track and you want to move forward get this book and apply the principles she gives. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

DELIGHTFUL MANUAL FOR HAPPINESS, December 5, 2000
By Pieter "Toypom" (Johannesburg) - See all my reviews


This review is from: The Game of Life and How to Play It (Prosperity Classic) (Paperback)
I am constantly delighted by the elegance and grace with which the early and mid-20th century metaphysicians conveyed the eternal truths. People like Ralph Waldo Trine, Katherine Ponder, Raymond Charles Barker, Joseph Murphy and Frederick Bailes are still the best choice to read if you are serious about improving your life. And judging by this wonderful little book., Florence Scovel-Shinn takes pride of place amongst them. With a great economy of words, she makes her point and in simple language explains the benefits of right thinking and how to solve problems. The text is strewn with jewels in the form of uplifting statements and memorable affirmations. Amongst other topics, the laws of prosperity, nonresistance, karma and forgiveness are presented in a fresh way, with clear instructions on how to impress the subconscious. She covers everything that is really important in a book that one can read in a day. Of course, I recommend regular reading of this wonderful manual for living a life of joy.

AWESOME, INSPIRING, MUST READ!, September 11, 2005
By Faith - See all my reviews

I just got this book and HAD to write a review on it so more people would read it. Florence Scovel-Shinn is an awesome writer who has written the most inspiring book I have yet to read and I read all the time multiple books in a week. This little book is small and a quick read but never has so much wonderful, informative, inspiring information been written in a book. I would have paid a million bucks for this wonderful little book. The wisdom, knowledge and useful information contained in this book is beyond belief. I always have a highlighter pen with me to highlight words, sentences and paragraphs that I find I want to refer back to and find easily when I am reading any book. Well this book is 75% highlighted due to there being so many wonderful and helpful hints and tips for everyone and every minute of every day. Ms. Scovel-Shinn really has her life together and knows the important things in life and has so lovingly, caringly and unselfishly given this information to the rest of us so that we can be as balanced, happy, loving and free to receive God's gifts in our lives as she obviously has. In my opinion, Ms. Scovel-Shinn is a gift to me in my life and God bless her for her work and may she continue to write and I will continue to gladly read her books and enjoy the experience she provides and enjoy the new and wonderful and freeing life I have aquired through her book with my Heavenly Father. Ms. Scovel-Shinn shows you the way to be happy and loving and to have great things happen in your life and to find the rich and satisfying relationship with God that everyone, and especially me, needs and wants. YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK! I totally believe you will not be disappointed. Thank you Ms. Scovel-Shinn, you are a true God send to me at a time in my life when I needed it the most.

A perfect gift to share with loved ones, December 3, 2001
By Doc Molina "Doc Molina" (Ma, United States) - See all my reviews

I read the "game of life" during a period of great personal and spiritual reflection. Shinn was able to capture in 95 short pages, what others have taken volumes to say. What I found most impressive was her ability to bridge metaphysical with christian philosophies. This is in my estimation is a very sophisticated skill. Obviously ahead of her time, she was able to master this over 75 years ago. After reading only the first ten pages, I had consciously decided to gift a copy of this little gem to each of my closest friends and loved ones for christmnas.

The GREATEST Metaphysical Book Ever Writen, October 13, 2003
By David Hanson (University Place, WA United States) - See all my reviews

My grandmother was a wise old woman who forgot more about metaphysics than most smart metaphysicians ever know. In 1982 she sat me down and made me read Florence Shinn. It was part of my metaphysical and spiritual education. She was a professional astrologer and made it her business to see that I was well versed in the metaphysical and spiritual. She had read Ms. Shinn years before and thought it was the best book on metaphysics that there was. After all these years, I have to agree. I have given this book to others more than any other. I must have given over one hundred copies of the GAME OF LIFE away. The reason I can to leave this review is that I was shopping for yet ANOTHER COPY of it to give to someone I know who desperately needs its marvelous message. BUY THIS BOOK! If you have any mind at all, you will start reading and NOT put it down until you are done. I GUARANTEE that you will love it as much as all those who have received its wonderful wisdom.

I created a database on her splendid topics dealing with: courage (24), destiny (9), Kingdom (10), intuition (11), preparation (17), gossip (25), dominion (26), faith (72), demonstration (81) and thinking (31). Florence Scovel Shinn is one of America's most cherished inspirational authors. Born in 1925, she lectured to thousands at the Unity Truth Center and New York's Steinway Hall. She opens her marvelous book with the statement, "Most people consider life a battle, but it is not a battle, it is a game." This beloved book is full of inspirational material and has been treasured by many for years. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

This review is from: The Game of Life and How to Play It (Prosperity Classic) (Paperback)
I found this book in the local library...and as a regular reader of personal development books this is an absolute must. I have read it, re-read it, and will read it again. The process of change is gentle, gentle, with no hard work, no burdens, just a quiet persistence that comes from finally comprehending what it is to have faith that you have Infinite Spirit as your main resource, and to believe in one's true destiny...Magnificence.

I just learned how to LIVE !!!, May 11, 1999
By valentinec@commchange.org (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Game of Life and How to Play It (Prosperity Classic) (Paperback)
Although, I have not completely finished reading this book,I have to attest that it is the most inspirational book I have had the pleasure to read. I have been going through some of the most difficult times of my life. I had lost focus and perspective. I have looked to everyone and anything to find the answers to my questions.
This book has taught me the power of faith...in myself. That I ultimately have the all the answers I ever need. I simply have to close my eyes and take the utlimate leap....I have the power to make things happen, both good and bad ( although by reading this book you will learn that bad, rather negativity is only a concept of weakness.

But I say too much....

READ THE BOOK....IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE !!!!!

GREAT WAY TO VERBALISE YOUR AFFIRMATIONS, July 7, 2000
By A Customer

This review is from: Game of Life (Audio Cassette)
The tape is wonderful for helping to verbalise Florence Scovel Shinn's affirmations, that are so life enhancing and simple. I used to play this tape at night, or in the car, to help maintain positive thoughts. Like her books, the tape has a very uplifting, empowering feel without being too pushy in the religious sense. I can't recommend it highly enough Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

True power lies in thought and feeling, not in externals., September 8, 1999
By A Customer

The wisdom of the ages, the truth of every religion is put forth in this book in a manner that is easy to understand, immediately usable and totally convincing. The content is similar to that of many books put out by Unity church or Science of mind. However, Ms. Shinn's gift lies not just in her knowledge of spiritual law, but in her simplicity of expression and presentation of wonderfully supportive examples drawn from the lives of those she has served. This book is a classic which I will return to again and again as I practice right thinking and seek divine guidance. I will continue to give this book as a gift to those I hold dear. Ms. Shinn makes it clear that manifesting your good is your divine right and your mission. I highly recommend this book as a blessing to those who wish to fulfill their divine assignment.

The Game of Life and How to Play It- Florence Scovel Shinn, December 25, 1997
By RAUL DASILVA (Hamden, CT USA) - See all my reviews


This review is from: The Game of Life and How to Play It (Prosperity Classic) (Paperback)
A classic book which will never be out of print. The spiritual seeker runs across this title, reads it, hears the bells but the verity in these pages is so stunning and the intellect so overriding that it is easy to dismiss as wishful thinking. Only after much effort and time, perhaps years of spiritual practice, does it all come to us in absolute clarity. Then we go back to THE GAME OF LIFE and nod to Ms. Shinn, with profound gratitude but with no small amount of regret that it took us so many years to grasp these immutable truths.

A Constant Companion, July 3, 2008
By Omo Misha "a creative institution" (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Game of Life and How to Play It (Mass Market Paperback)
"The Game of Life" has been a constant companion for all of my adult life. I have endured many changes in packaging - some of them better than others. One of the first tattered copies I owned had no cover at all, pages yellowing and torn, but Florence's message still shone bright. I cannot count how many of these books I have purchased and given away. I have given them to curious strangers on the subway, and even to sour friends whom I knew would never read them. But, I know that "The Game of Life" has its own mysterious way of finding its way into appreciative hands - in just the same way that it found me, over twenty years ago. I have never read or owned another book so honest, inspiring, and concise. This is the type of book that you can open up on any page, on any given day, and receive just the perfect message. I can only hope that my book has a mere glimmer of its magic. Florence Scovel Shinn has influenced much of my thinking, and informed the basis for my own writing. I wish I could have met her and I owe her many thanks! Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

The Greatest $6.00 Investment you will ever Make!, January 14, 2008
By Angela "Angela" (Oxford, MA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Game of Life and How to Play It (Paperback)
This book is so powerful, yet so simple to understand and read. The chapters are short; so I read a chapter a day to keep me motivated, thinking positively and expecting great things to happen to me. It is thin enough to keep in my purse, so I can pull it out if I have a few minutes while waiting for something/one. It really has changed my life. I keep copies (Amazon makes this so easy) to give to people as gifts and the feedback from them has always been positive; they start passing it on.

FYI to publisher - I prefer the original cover and layout of the book over the existing one. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

I recieved this somewhat religious, inspirational and instructional book when I was a teen and while it took me over a year to read it the first time, I have read it many times since. This very short book evokes very deep thought,in my opinion, and mostly refers to the consequences and rewards to ways of thinking. I believe this book is a very inspirational, guide to living great. I believe that this book could be enjoyed by many diverse people and may be particulary usefull for those seeking guidance to living positively. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

The word "profound" may intimidate some into thinking that this book is full of complex theological concepts, but don't be fooled. The book is written in such a way that comprehension is automatic and I promise that if you apply the principles written in its pages--even if you're a little unsure at first--it WILL change your life in a dramatically positive way. Discover the blessings that are already yours. And buy TWO copies--you'll want to share it with everyone you know Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

The Game of Life and How to Play It, January 14, 2003
By "markbrockmann" (Wake Forest, NC United States) - See all my reviews

I find it amazing that so many readers benefited from this book (I guess I should clarify that I listened to the audio cassette). I was very disappointted on how everything in this book relates to spirituallity. The answer to everything was to just 'believe' or 'pray'. I come from the real world. You can't just wish your way to what you want. You need to work at it. Unfortunately this book gives no tangible tools to help you 'Play the Game of Life'. If you are logical, scientific, and down to earth, you will not like this book. It was very difficult to listen through the whole thing (just 65 minutes). Even from a spiritual stand point, I do not agree with Florence's focus on pursing wealth and worldly things through Jesus. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW, July 25, 2008
By Stephen Dando "Artfulskux" (Palmerston North, New Zealand) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Game of Life and How to Play It (Mass Market Paperback)
Amazing. Stunning. So sensational. So true. Such a lttle book.

Yes, The Game of Life and How to Play It is all these things, but the latter is probably the most important and indeed the most intriguing. How can so much wisdom about ultimately getting anything you want in life, be squeezed into a book with under 90 pages? I'm not quite sure, but it definately works to its advantage. Because of this, I was able to easily read it in one sitting and have the opportunity to easily do so again and again and again. And I plan to. It was that good.

So to the book itself. When I was searching for self-help books, I came across this one, and, the title was the first I thought about. I came to the conclusion that it was a book that taught you about general life skills. IT GOES BEYOND THAT.

Florence Scovel Shinn explains that disease, lack, misfortune, unhappiness, financial difficulties - all the things we dread in life, are because of subtle suggestions impressed upon the subconscious mind in every day life. But changing these habits is easier than anyone could ever imagine. By simply saying aloud every morning when you wake and at night before you sleep that you believe (or have faith) that you are easily going to achieve the things you want to and trust the god within (your superconscious) to give you a definate lead (a hunch that will lead you to what you want). She explains how big a role karma plays in getting what you want and the importance of receiving things aswell as giving things to others. She also advises you act as though you've already got what you want in order for your subconscious to believe you are capable of getting it.

Although these techniques aren't anything new, Shinn's way of writing makes it interesting and the fact that the length of it doesn't even reach the 100 page mark, means you won't have any excuse for not getting time to read it!

So what makes it so successful? For me it was the fact that these techniques were so effective, yet she didn't go into much detail - she kept it simple by, literally every two pages, giving incredible real life examples relating to the wonders she talks of throughout the book.

So please don't listen to me any more, I won't go on. Get your hands on this book, read it with interest and curiosity, and then hopefully you'll experience true wonder, awe, and amazement towards the thought that you can achieve and even get, anything you want in life.

Thanks.

An incredibly wise book on the right approach to life, June 26, 2008
By H. Friedman "soulhealing" (Berkeley, CA) - See all my reviews


This review is from: The Game of Life and How to Play It (Paperback)
When I first came across this book, I looked at it with derision. The original version had a white cover with garish orange print. When I asked the bookstore owner, with a bit of skepticism, "what the heck is this book?" She replied, "I don't know. It's been sitting on the counter for ages, give me a dollar and you can have it." So, on a lark, I bought it.

Boy did I learn not to judge a book by its cover!

It is still mind-boggling to me, 30 years later, that a woman in 1927 could write such a transcendental, high book.

It taught me about right attitude towards money, life, manifesting what I want and need, and letting go.

It helped me to break free of the chains of anxious thoughts that filled my days, and gave me a taste of what great peace and understanding felt like.

To this day, I am grateful for how it changed my life.

This is one of the highest books I've ever read, and I'm still in awe at the level of her awareness.

Many of my friends and clients have read this book, and found it incredibly valuable, too.

A priceless book. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

Wisdom about winning the game of life from 1925, March 10, 2008
By Kara D. Lane "Author, Wake Up to Powerful Living" (Carmel, IN USA) - See all my reviews


This review is from: The Game of Life and How to Play It (Mass Market Paperback)
The late Florence Shinn originally wrote this book in 1925 to help people win the game of life. She was a metaphysician and lecturer who helped people solve their problems.

In this short book, she explains the spiritual laws of life, including covering the topics of:

- The law of prosperity
- The power of the word
- The law of nonresistance
- The law of karma and forgiveness
- How to impress the subconscious
- And the power of love

She also offers specific, short affirmations on prosperity, health, guidance, work and love. For instance, for work she offers, "I have a perfect work in a perfect way; I give a perfect service for perfect pay."

With frequent references to the Bible, like "Ask, and it shall be given you, seek, and ye shall find, knock, and it shall be opened unto you," she explains how to live a life of health, wealth, love and perfect self-expression in a way that is pleasing to God.
