The Secret Door to Success — Florence Scovel Shinn (1940)

In The Secret Door to Success, Florence Scovel Shinn presents her practical metaphysical teaching on opening the way to prosperity, right opportunity, and spiritual fulfillment. The “secret door” is not a matter of luck or force, but of learning to work consciously with faith, expectation, spoken language, and spiritual law.

With her characteristic warmth and directness, Shinn shows how fear, resentment, doubt, and habitual negative speech can obstruct the good one seeks, while confident words and a receptive state of mind help bring the individual into alignment with right action and divine order. Her lessons are illustrated through memorable anecdotes and concise formulas intended for use in ordinary life.

Accessible and immediately applicable, The Secret Door to Success distills the central ideas that made Shinn one of the most enduring voices of New Thought: the formative power of words, the release of resistance, intuitive guidance, and the expectation of good.
