About the Author
A progressive social reformer and New Thought pioneer, Wallace D. Wattles was born in 1860 in the United States. He popularized creative-thought principles in his groundbreaking classics
The Science of Getting Rich,
The Science of Being Great, and
The Science of Being Well. An inspiration to on future generations of success writers, he died in 1911.
Born in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1885, Robert Collier distilled New Thought, metaphysical, and success principles into a popular and influential pamphlet series, collected into a single volume as
The Secret of the Ages in 1926, and later revised by Collier in an expanded edition in 1948. He died in 1950.
Born in 1866, Charles F. Haanel achieved success as both a businessman and an author, rising to top positions at numerous corporations in his native St. Louis. Often called the "Father of Personal Development," Haanel was among the earliest writers to popularize the "Law of Attraction." He published
The Master Key System as a correspondence course in 1912 and collected his lessons into a single volume in 1917. He died in 1949.

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.
