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.

Inside, you will find:

The full, unabridged text of Your Invisible Power (1921)

The full, unabridged text of The Game of Life and How to Play It (1925)

A new introduction revealing the true story behind this book's title

A bridge chapter connecting the two women's teachings

A closing chapter drawing both philosophies into one practical whole

An appendix of twelve simple daily practices, drawn from both books, that you can begin tonight

This book invites you to explore what these two women actually taught, in their own words, without modern paraphrase or interpretation standing between you and the source.
