The Science of Being Great Listener Reviews
-
" Sounds like Candide, the Bible, and several other no nonsense self-help books. Some ideas were good, like don't down talk yourself and the world, and some ideas were odd, like you can think yourself to perfect health. Maybe I should try it before questioning the basis of his claim. "

About Wallace D. Wattles
Wallace D. Wattles (1860–1911) was born in the United States in 1860, shortly before the Civil War. Later in life, he began his tireless study of the religious beliefs and philosophies of the world. It was through this relentless examination of such philosophers as Descartes, Hegel, and Ralph Waldo Emerson that he developed his own principles and successfully applied them to his life before he shared them with the world in his innovative 1910 book, The Science of Getting Rich. He died one year later. Wattles’ ideas have lived on to inspire future generations to greatness.
