Description

Florence Scovel Shinn looks at how words can shape life. She uses affirmations, or positive statements, to help readers set goals and seek change. She writes about love and bonds with others. She also covers wisdom, health, money, and well-being.

This faith-based self-help book is for those who seek to grow. It has hundreds of teachings and affirmations on success and wealth. It builds on Shinn's method in Jocul vieții și cum să-l joci.

Shinn links control of one's feelings with strength to face setbacks. She claims fear, doubt, anger, and lasting ill will harm health. She says calm can help change the way things are. These claims stem from her faith, not from medical advice.

Shinn broke new ground in personal and spiritual growth. She writes in a plain style meant for daily use. Her examples draw on work, money, family, and bonds with others. She also draws on laws she sees as true for all. She urges readers to trust what they know within. Her teachings helped shape later self-help writers, including Louise Hay.
