The Game of Invisible Power

Long before manifestation was a hashtag, two women were quietly teaching its actual mechanics.

Genevieve Behrend was the only personal student of Thomas Troward, the father of Mental Science. She pictured a specific sum of money into her bank account, bill by bill, before she had any idea where it would come from. That same steady picturing shaped the rest of her life, and a chance encounter with an astrologer's cat opened the one door she needed most.

Florence Scovel Shinn wrote in a voice entirely her own, blunt, funny, and unmistakably direct. She called life a game, not because she took it lightly, but because she took its rules seriously. Her short, sharp parables about words, forgiveness, and nonresistance have quietly shaped modern personal development for a century.

This edition brings both complete, unaltered classics together for the first time, introduced, connected, and closed with original commentary from Manifesting Cat.
