How to Get What You Want (Unabridged) (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. New Thought success through cause and effect—monistic principles to manifest wealth, health, development, and positionBy Wallace D. Wattles
Length1h 21m
About this audiobook
How to Get What You Want (Unabridged) distills Wallace D. Wattles's characteristic New Thought philosophy into a concise manual of desire, will, and purposeful action. Written in the lucid, declarative prose typical of early twentieth-century self-culture literature, the book argues that achievement begins not in vague wishing but in disciplined thought aligned with constructive effort. Its style is aphoristic, practical, and spiritually confident, placing it in the same intellectual climate as The Science of Getting Rich and the broader metaphysical success tradition. Wattles, an American writer associated with the New Thought movement, was shaped by the era's fascination with mental science, social mobility, and the moral possibilities of prosperity. His own life, marked by religious searching and an interest in reformist ideas, informed his conviction that personal transformation could be taught systematically. Rather than presenting ambition as selfish, he framed attainment as a lawful process grounded in faith, clarity, and service. This unabridged edition is recommended for readers interested in the roots of modern self-help, prosperity thought, and motivational literature. It will especially reward those who want a brief but influential text that combines metaphysical conviction with practical counsel on focus, intention, and action.
