If Life Is a Game, These Are the Rules

If Life Is a Game, These Are the Rules – Cherie Carter-Scott

Imagine that before you were born, you were handed a set of rules to guide you through life, and then you forgot them. In If Life Is a Game, These Are the Rules: Ten Rules for Being Human, motivational coach and author Dr. Chérie Carter-Scott presents a simple framework of spiritual principles intended to help readers understand the challenges and lessons of life.

Carter-Scott, an author and coach who has worked with individuals and organizations for many years, explains ten rules that she believes apply to everyone. They include the idea that you will receive a body to care for, that you will be presented with lessons, that there are no mistakes, only lessons, that lessons are repeated until they are learned, and that learning never ends. Other rules suggest that there is no better than here, that others are mirrors of ourselves, that what you make of your life is up to you, that all the answers lie within you, and that you will forget all of this at birth.

For each rule, Carter-Scott explores its meaning through stories, examples and reflections, and discusses related lessons such as acceptance, patience, forgiveness, responsibility, compassion and trust. She encourages readers to see challenges as opportunities for growth rather than as failures.

Short and easy to read, the book became a popular bestseller and is often given as a gift for graduations, birthdays and life transitions.

Gentle and encouraging, If Life Is a Game, These Are the Rules is an inspiring read for anyone seeking perspective, comfort and guidance on personal growth. Its ideas are spiritual and motivational in nature.
