The Game of Business and How to Play It : Based on Florence Scovel-Shinn's The Game of Life and How to Play It
What if the difference between business being a struggle and business feeling like a game was your openness to the unknown?
What if the thing making it heavier than it needs to be is your insistence that you know how the world works?
Some of the best decisions you ever made arrived as a feeling. Some of the worst ones came from ignoring one. There are gaps in cause and effect, and spreadsheets can't explain everything.
Many of the world's most successful people subscribe to the unknown. They know there's more to success than logic.
In 1925, Florence Scovel Shinn published The Game of Life and How to Play It. A short book about how the mind shapes the conditions of a person's life. It has been reprinted continually since her death in 1940. The principles inside are older than her.
A hundred years later, Jodie Cook has reworked the book for business owners and leaders. The structure is Shinn's. The examples, language, and explanations are new.
What if your answers weren't in another podcast, course, or LinkedIn post? What if they were in timeless wisdom that has been waiting a century for you to find it?
These are the rules of the game most business owners don't realise they're playing. Know them, and you operate on a new level.
