I recommend this book (volume II), and volumes I and III, to anyone who is starting the search for 'truth', seeking to change their life's direction, seeking ideas on what and who they are, and why things are.
The books are easy reads, and at the same time, tell you lots about your own power, the power of the mind, the power of thoughts, your beliefs and vibrations, without being too 'flowery' or 'mystical'. Those who are just starting out their exploration of the power of the mind and The Secret etc, will find this book and volumes I and II all helpful and insightful.
The author also gives example affirmations and thought patterns to use to bring about positive change in one's mental attitudes and life.
They are good books to start off with, or to read in addition to similar writers such as Joseph Murphy, Ernest Holmes and H Emilie Cady...

As Wattles says in chapter four of 'The Science of Being Great' ( volume I), 'God is wrapped about us, enfolds us and presses upon us from every side....We are immersed in mind and that mind contains all knowlege and all truth...you can make yourself what you desire to be: you can do what you wish to do; you can have what you want...'.
Volume II (page 109) he states '...The desire for advancement is a fundamental fact in the action of mind, therefore the desire for advancement is in all and through all. All things desire the advancement of every man. If a man desires any good thing in order to live his life more fully, that thing desires him also...'
Volume III (page 98) he states, '...and if you recognise disease within yourself, you prevent God from reaching you; and you form within yourself that which you recognise as existing...'.
I think volume one is the best of the three volumes, but they all contain insights.

His message is enlightening and if we can live the way he described in the book, the world will be advancing faster towards perfection.
