About this audiobook
The Science of Wallace D. Wattles (Complete Trilogy) gathers the author's three principal New Thought manuals—The Science of Getting Rich, The Science of Being Well, and The Science of Being Great—into a single program of mental discipline, ethical aspiration, and practical self-culture. Written in a direct, aphoristic style, these works blend metaphysical conviction with the rhetoric of scientific method, reflecting the early twentieth-century American fascination with mind-cure, prosperity teaching, and the democratization of success. Wallace D. Wattles (1860–1911) emerged from the intellectual and spiritual currents of the New Thought movement, drawing on Transcendentalist optimism, Christian reformist language, and the era's belief in self-directed improvement. His concern with poverty, health, and human potential suggests an author seeking not merely personal advancement but a systematic philosophy of abundance grounded in thought, faith, and purposeful action. This trilogy is recommended for readers interested in the genealogy of modern self-help, prosperity literature, and motivational psychology. Though its claims require critical historical reading, Wattles's compact prose and unified vision make the volume an essential document of American metaphysical thought and its enduring cultural influence.
