Summary

“By studying and practicing the principles laid down in this book, one may find prosperity, solve problems, have better health, achieve personal relations—in a word, win the game of life.” —Norman Vincent Peale   The complete and original New Thought classic upgraded for the 21st century with study questions and action items that help you make Shinn’s timeless wisdom change your life!   This edition of one of the most influential self-help books of the last hundred years makes Shinn’s principles relevant to today’s readers. Shinn begins with the following statement: “Most people consider life a battle. It’s not a battle. . . . It’s a game. And like most games, it can’t be played successfully without understanding the rules.”   In a clear and accessible manner, Shinn then sets forth and explores the six key rules for the game of life, providing to readers the user’s manual for making informed decisions and fully embracing a life of success and happiness.   Study questions, meditations, and action items are included in this essential edition of a classic motivational text.

    Pay Up! - Conservative Myths...

    Since the Reagan era, conservatives in the United States have championed cutting taxes, especially for wealthy individuals and corporations, as the best way to achieve economic prosperity. In his new book, Pay Up!, John L. Campbell shows that while these claims are highly influential, they are also wrong. Using historical and cross-national evidence, the book challenges and refutes every justification conservatives have made for tax cuts—that American taxes are too high; they hurt the economy; they facilitate government waste; they constitute an unfair downward redistribution of income; and they threaten individual freedom—and conversely shows that countries can actually benefit from higher taxes, especially when tax increases fall most heavily on those most able to pay them. Through clear prose and a well-reasoned argument, Campbell's book provides an accessible, engaging, and much-needed perspective on the role of taxes in American society.
