We could also look at it as a game—or a series of games. They include survival, love, power, pleasure, courage, creativity, and the Master Game!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: start\"\u003eIn this insightful book, Richard Smoley gives a lively but profound account of these games. He talks about how we play them, the mistakes we make, and how we can play them best.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: start\"\u003eThe culmination is the Master Game. Richard explores practices from the great spiritual traditions to show how to reach this mastery. If you play this game, you will reach new heights of wisdom, courage, kindness, and performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: start\"\u003eRichard, the author of thirteen books including G\u0026amp;D’s \u003cem\u003eIntroduction to the Occult,\u003c\/em\u003e interweaves ideas from great thinkers and traditions with his own dry and irreverent wisdom, gleaned from forty years of study and practice, to show how to play the most important game of all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: start\"\u003e“There is only one question: what are we to make of this life? Most books that aim to help with that central question fail, because they amount to lists: eat this, pray to that, think about the other thing, follow one truth, carry this thingamabob. Richard Smoley offers something better. It is like a conversation with a wise friend who trusts you, talking about this reality so you’re better able to relate to the ones beyond.\"\u003cstrong\u003e–Quentin Hardy, Head of Editorial, \u003cem\u003eGoogle Cloud\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"G\u0026D Media","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49355074732336,"sku":"BDhwx1","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49355074765104,"sku":"ZEhwx1","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49355074797872,"sku":"ZMhwx1","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/448071-hwx1-Square.jpg?v=1734380713","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-hwx1","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
