About this audiobook
The Science of Wallace D. Wattles gathers the author's three most influential works—The Science of Being Well, The Science of Getting Rich, and The Science of Being Great—into a unified expression of early twentieth-century New Thought philosophy. Written in a direct, aphoristic, and insistently practical style, these treatises argue that health, wealth, and personal greatness arise from disciplined thought, constructive action, and alignment with universal creative principles. Their literary context lies at the intersection of self-help, metaphysical religion, and Progressive Era optimism. Wallace D. Wattles (1860–1911) was an American writer shaped by the New Thought movement, socialism, and the era's debates over poverty, labor, and spiritual power. Having experienced financial struggle himself, Wattles sought to formulate a democratic metaphysics of success: one in which ordinary people could transform their circumstances through purposeful thinking and ethical enterprise. His works reflect both personal urgency and a broader cultural hunger for self-mastery. This trilogy is recommended for readers interested in the origins of modern personal-development literature, the genealogy of prosperity thinking, or the spiritual history of American ambition. Read critically, it remains a revealing and provocative document of belief in human possibility.
