Florence Scovel Shinn carried out her work in the first half of the 20th century. Through her teachings and numerous books, she profoundly influenced Louise Hay and other pioneers of personal transformation. Florence is Deceased.

Florence Scovel Shinn (September 24, 1871, Camden, New Jersey – October 17, 1940) was an American artist and book illustrator who became a New Thought spiritual teacher and metaphysical writer in her middle years. In New Thought circles, she is best known for her first book, The Game of Life and How to Play It (1925).

Her books "Your Word Is Your Wand" and "The Game of Life and How To Play It" were released as audiobooks in 2014 and 2015, respectively, and were narrated by actress Hillary Hawkins.

Shinn is considered part of the New Thought movement, as her writings follow in the tradition of Phineas Quimby (1802–1866), Emma Curtis Hopkins (1849–1925), and both Charles Fillmore (1854–1948), and Myrtle Fillmore (1845–1931), co-founders of the Unity Church. Motivational author Louise Hay acknowledges her as an early influence.
