About this audiobook
In The Science of Being Great, Wallace D. Wattles presents a systematic program for personal enlargement grounded in disciplined thought, moral purpose, and constructive action. Written in the lucid, exhortative style characteristic of early twentieth-century New Thought literature, the book treats greatness not as inherited genius but as a practicable mode of consciousness. Its compact chapters blend metaphysical idealism, practical psychology, and democratic self-culture, placing the work beside Wattles's better-known The Science of Getting Rich. Wattles was an American writer and reform-minded thinker whose career was shaped by the New Thought movement, Christian socialism, and the self-improvement culture of the Progressive Era. His own struggles with poverty and ill health appear to have sharpened his interest in mental discipline, spiritual law, and human potential. Rather than offering mere optimism, he sought to formulate principles by which ordinary individuals might cultivate dignity, usefulness, and creative power. This complete edition is recommended for readers interested in the genealogy of modern self-help, motivational philosophy, and American metaphysical religion. It will especially reward those who want a concise but ambitious guide to character formation, purposeful living, and the ethical pursuit of personal excellence.
