About this ebook
Wallace D. Wattles spent a lifetime considering the laws of success as he found them in the work of the world's great philosophers. He then turned his life effort into this simple, slender book – a volume that he vowed could replace libraries of philosophy, spirituality, and self-help for the purpose of attaining one definite goal: a life of prosperity. Wattles describes a definite science of wealth attraction, built on the foundation of one commanding idea: "There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made. A thought, in this substance, produces the thing that is imaged by the thought." In his seventeen short, straight-to-the-point chapters, Wattles shows how to use this idea, how to overcome barriers to its application, and how work with very direct methods that awaken it in your life. He further explains how creation and not competition is the hidden key to wealth attraction, and how your power to get rich uplifts everyone around you. (Goodreads)
About the author
Wallace Delois Wattles (1860-1911) was an American New Thought writer whose works have left an indelible mark on the self-help and personal development genres. Born in the rural Midwest, Wattles faced numerous hardships, including poverty and limited formal education. Despite these challenges, he became a voracious reader and a keen observer of social and philosophical trends.Wattles was deeply influenced by the burgeoning New Thought movement, which emphasized the power of the mind in shaping one's reality. His writings encapsulate a blend of Christian ethics, Eastern philosophies, and the scientific optimism of the early 20th century. He advocated for the idea that individuals could transform their lives through positive thinking, visualization, and a disciplined approach to personal growth.One of the most intriguing aspects of Wattles' life was his commitment to social reform. He was an ardent supporter of the Socialist Party and ran for public office multiple times, though without success. His political views often put him at odds with mainstream society, but they also underscore his deep commitment to improving the human condition.Wattles' influence extends far beyond his lifetime. His ideas have inspired a host of contemporary self-help gurus, including Rhonda Byrne, who credited his work as a foundational influence for her bestselling book, "The Secret." Despite the controversies surrounding his unconventional beliefs and political affiliations, Wattles remains a seminal figure in the realm of personal development, advocating for a life of abundance, health, and well-being through the power of thought.
