”The game of life and how to play it” av Florence Scovel Shinn är en tidlös pärla som påminner oss om att livet blir magiskt när vi spelar det med tro och medvetenhet. En bok jag ständigt återvänder till och den är lika kraftfull varje gång.

Första boken på den här prenumerationen som jag ger ett betyg och det är av lägsta sort. Vilken ofantlig smörja. Orkar inte ens lyssna klart på den. - tro så hårt att något inträffar är ju en ren lögn. - smörja om karma mm. Nej tack-
