The Science of Wallace D. Wattles: The Science of Getting Rich, The Science of Being Well, The Science of Being Great - Softcover

Wallace D. Wattles introduced the world to the power of positive thinking. Without Wattles "Science Of trilogy" there never would have been books such as The Laws of Attraction, The Science of Success, and the Power of Positive Thinking. The first book in the trilogy, “The Science of Being Great,” appeals to people who feel that they are not making the most of their lives. We all want to stand out and be in control. Wattles explains to his readers how to live aggressively and with purpose, making themselves forces that move in the world rather than reactive leaves, blown about by life's circumstances. He championed the law of attraction, which proposed that a person's thoughts became reality-commonly referred to now as the power of positive thinking. The Science of Getting Rich, which was originally written almost a hundred years ago, focused on the acquisition of money. A bold author who cuts to the chase, Wattles asserts that we have "a right to be rich” while managing to steer clear of the notions of greed, selfishness, and trampling others. Though Wattle’s prescription for getting rich involves thought and acceptance of the idea, he doesn’t advocate meditative inaction. Rather, Wattles focuses on going about daily business and organizing life in such a way that money can flow into it, so that life becomes really a self-fulfilling prophecy. The Science of Getting Rich includes an excellent chapter on the importance of gratitude. Wallace also teaches that the biggest impediment to our supply of money is in the mind. When we are focused on how unfair life is, it truly is hard to become rich! Packed with valuable ideas, The Science of Getting Rich is worth several thoughtful re-reads followed by a lifetime of application. Originally published in 1910, The Science of Being Well applies the power of positive thinking to getting and maintaining good physical health. According to Wallace Wattles, thought is far more powerful than we imagine. It is the way in which humans can literally reshape reality according to their will; it is how we interact with the substance of the universe. Students of religious studies will be intrigued by this book from the New Thought tradition. And those wanting a new way to improve their health may find Wattles' approach empowering.
