The Science of Being Great

by Wallace D. Wattles

Overview

The author of 'The Science of Getting Rich' brings you 'The Science of Being Great'. Wallace D. Wattles introduced the world to the power of positive thinking. Greatness is equally inherent in all and therefore every person may become great. Man may overcome both heredity and circumstances by exercising the inherent creative power of the soul. Talent may merely be one faculty developed out of proportion to other faculties, but genius is the union of man and God in the acts of the soul. Great men are always greater than their deeds. They are in connection with a reserve of power that is without limit. We do not know where the boundary of the mental powers of man is; we do not even know that there is a boundary.

About the Author

Wallace D. Wattles "The Science of Getting Rich" definitely deserves nomination for any "Hall of Fame" featuring self-help books. Short, to the point, and very readable, the tone of Wallace's book will remind of the classic "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. The Science of Getting Rich was originally written almost a hundred years ago. It is focused on the acquisition of money, period. 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.

Editorial Reviews

The core of Wattles’s 1911 book is expressed in the first five minutes of this charming audio. He says that in our own way and at this time in history, each of us has the power to rise above our circumstances and limitations and achieve any kind of life we desire. Though written when many people feared God, the book promotes a more affirming and secure spiritual connection that has an optimistic tone of possibility. Narrator Eliza Foss demonstrates a solid connection with this material and an interesting yet still natural-sounding array of tone and pacing variations. Even more impressive is that her outsized talent does not divert attention from the power of Wattles’s timeless message. Essential listening for anyone limited by humbleness or low self-esteem.
