      The Science of Being Great (Condensed Classics) - Wallace D. Wattles

      INTRODUCTION

      You Can Become What You Want to Be

      The title of this preface is the final line of author Wallace D. Wattles’s opening chapter, and the heart of this book. But it is more than an author’s credo. It is, in a sense, an encapsulation of American metaphysical ideals—the outlook of a still-young nation when Wattles wrote The Science of Being Great in 1911, and an outlook still held today.

      In the era in which Wattles lived, America was suffused with the influence of a new metaphysics—Christian Science, New Thought, mental healing, and other spiritual philosophies taught modern people to believe that what we think and feel concretizes in the experience of our lives; that thoughts are causative. This spiritual vision harmonized with the sense of limitless possibility that many Americans felt in the early twentieth century, when the nation’s growth and expansion seemed endless.

      This book, which appeared the year that Wattles died, was, in my view, his greatest work. It captured everything that he saw around him, and put a sharper focus on the ideas that he explored in his widely read book The Science of Getting Rich, which preceded this one in 1910.

      Wattles was far more than a cheerleader for personal and national growth. He was also a fiery social reformer who was forced out of his Methodist pulpit in northern Indiana after refusing to accept collection-basket offerings from parishioners who ran sweatshops. He believed in a voluntary, democratic socialism, and he foresaw a new world where cooperation would replace animal competition. He ran for office twice on the ticket of Eugene V. Debs’s Socialist Party. He advocated for the rights of striking workers and suffragists. Yet his reputation was sealed, and he received posthumous fame in our own time, for a book dedicated to personal money-getting, The Science of Getting
