Enriched Edition. Harness Creative Thought and Positive Power for Success and AbundanceBy Wallace D. Wattles
Length3h 14m
About this audiobook
In The Science of Being Great, Wallace D. Wattles presents a concise yet ambitious philosophy of personal development, arguing that greatness is not an accident of birth or circumstance but the result of disciplined thought, moral purpose, and constructive action. Written in the direct, aphoristic style characteristic of early twentieth-century New Thought literature, the book blends metaphysical optimism with practical counsel, situating self-mastery within a broader spiritual law of growth. Wattles, best known for The Science of Getting Rich, emerged from the American New Thought movement, which sought to reconcile spirituality, psychology, and success ethics. His interest in poverty, social advancement, and human potential clearly informs this work: he writes as one persuaded that individuals can transform their lives by aligning mind and conduct with universal principles. His democratic insistence that greatness is available to all reflects both reformist idealism and the self-culture ethos of his age. This unabridged edition is recommended for readers interested in classic self-help, intellectual history, and the origins of modern motivational writing. Though some assumptions belong to its period, its central appeal remains compelling: a call to live deliberately, think nobly, and cultivate character as the foundation of achievement.
