About this audiobook
This collected volume gathers Wallace D. Wattles's principal works, including The Science of Getting Rich, The Science of Being Well, The Science of Being Great, The Personal Power Course, and A New Christ, offering a comprehensive view of his metaphysical program. Written in the direct, aphoristic style of early twentieth-century New Thought literature, these books combine practical instruction, moral exhortation, and spiritual idealism. Wattles presents success, health, character, and religious renewal as matters governed by intelligible laws, insisting that disciplined thought and purposeful action can transform material circumstances. Wattles (1860–1911) emerged from the ferment of American reform culture, where socialism, Christian ethics, mental science, and self-culture overlapped. His own struggles with poverty and his engagement with progressive religious and economic ideas shaped his conviction that abundance should be understood not merely as private gain, but as participation in a creative, expanding life. This background explains the unusual blend of prosperity teaching and ethical seriousness in his work. Readers interested in the genealogy of self-help, prosperity spirituality, and modern motivational thought will find this collection indispensable. It is especially valuable for those wishing to encounter Wattles beyond a single famous title, and to understand the broader intellectual architecture behind his enduring influence.
