About the Author:

Wallace D Wattles (1860-1911) His most popular works are: The Science Of Getting Rich; The Science Of Being Well; How To Get What You Want. Wallace lived with his parents on a farm in Nunda Township, McHenry County, Illinois, and worked as a farm laborer. His father is listed as a gardener and his mother as "keeping house." He was married to Abbie Walters, and made three children: Florence Walters, 22, Russell H. Walters, 27, and Agnes Walters, 16. Florence wrote that "he made lots of money, and had good health, except for his extreme frailty" in the last three years before his death. Wattles died on February 7, 1911 in Ruskin, Tennessee. As a sign of respect, businesses closed throughout the town for two hours on the afternoon of his funeral. His death at age 51 was regarded as "untimely" by his daughter; in the previous year he had not only published two books (The Science of Being Well and The Science of Getting Rich), but he had also run for public office.

From AudioFile:

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.
