The science of success

The Science of Success by Wallace D. Wattles is a compilation of three influential works: The Science of Getting Rich, The Science of Being Well, and The Science of Being Great.  This collection presents Wattles's philosophy that success, health, and greatness are achievable through specific mental and practical techniques. 

Wattles, a prominent figure in the New Thought movement, emphasizes the power of thought and visualization.  He introduces the concept of "thinking in the Certain Way," suggesting that by aligning one's thoughts with a clear vision and purpose, individuals can manifest their desires into reality.  His approach combines metaphysical ideas with actionable steps, aiming to provide a practical guide for personal development. 

Though written in the early 20th century, Wattles's teachings have influenced modern self-help and motivational literature.  Notably, his work inspired Rhonda Byrne's The Secret, which brought the law of attraction to a contemporary audience.  Wattles's emphasis on positive thinking and the creative power of the mind continues to resonate with readers seeking personal and professional growth.
