The Science of Being Great On Self Mastery and Personal Power
Long before Zig Ziglar, "The Secret," Tony Robbins, "The Law of Attraction," or Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People" there was "The Science of Being Great" written by Wallace D. Wattles - a man who could arguably be called one of the fathers of modern motivational thought.
An overlooked personal growth classic, The Science of Being Great is Wallace D. Wattles final word in the realm of self mastery. Meant to be used in conjunction with Wattles' other classic, The Science of Getting Rich, this book is a summary of the wisdom that the author culled after studying the wisdom of the world's religious leaders and great philosophers. Here he argues that the power of thought and positive self-esteem is the only true measure of a person's greatness.
As Wattles himself says: "This book is for the men and women, young or old, who wish to make the most of life by making the most of themselves.
"I have tried to show plainly, simply, and without unnecessary words, the way to power and capability; I know that the system herein set forth will work; it cannot fail.
"And I know that the men and women who practice these methods of action with sincere hearts will enter into the powerful life; they will be the children of the Highest, and stand among the great ones of the world."
Wallace wrote "The Science of Getting Rich," "The Science of Being Great," and "The Science of Being Well." These books are treasured gems of motivational philosophy among many CEOs, investors, entrepreneurs and great men & women everywhere!
