Enriched Edition. New Thought Teachings on Prosperity, Mind Power, Health, and Spiritual SuccessBy Wallace D. WattlesLength17h 20m
About this audiobook
The Collected Works of Wallace D. Wattles gathers ten influential texts that crystallize the practical mysticism of the early twentieth-century New Thought movement. Best known for The Science of Getting Rich, Wattles writes in a direct, aphoristic, and instructional style, joining metaphysical idealism to the language of discipline, efficiency, and self-culture. Across these works, prosperity, health, creativity, and moral development are treated not as accidents of circumstance but as outcomes of thought, will, and harmonious action within a purposeful universe. Wallace D. Wattles (1860–1911) emerged from the ferment of American reform culture, where socialism, mental healing, Christian idealism, and self-help philosophy often overlapped. His own struggles with poverty and illness appear to have sharpened his interest in systems of personal transformation. Rather than offering mere consolation, Wattles sought to formulate a usable philosophy: a method by which ordinary readers might align imagination, faith, and conduct toward material and spiritual enlargement. This edition is recommended to readers interested in the genealogy of modern motivational literature, prosperity theology, and American metaphysical religion. It rewards both the practitioner seeking disciplined inspiration and the scholar tracing how spiritual self-fashioning became central to modern success culture.
