The Secret Door to Success (eBook)

Florence Scovel Shinn (1871–1940) was a profound influencer in the New Thought movement, which prioritized the connection between the mind and personal success. Born in Camden, New Jersey, Shinn embarked on a literary career that blended spiritual intuition with practical advice. She initially embarked on an artistic career and married Everette Shinn, part of the distinguished American artist group known as the Ashcan School. However, her legacy was engraved with her contributions as an author, most notably 'The Secret Door to Success' which was published posthumously in 1940. In this enduring work, Shinn examined the power of positive thinking and the use of affirmations to manifest one's desires, a theme commonly found in much of her writings. Her engaging prose and timeless wisdom affirm her commitment to helping readers find empowerment and personal growth through spiritual laws. Shinn's other significant writings include 'The Game of Life and How to Play It' (1925), where she lays down the foundation of her theological approach, linking success and prosperity to a person's spirituality and beliefs. Her literary style is characterized by simplicity, encouragement, and an unabashed conviction in the Universal Spiritual principles. Shinn's works continue to inspire and guide those seeking to understand the synthesis of spirituality and practical success.
