Wallace Wattles (1860-1911)
While it is difficult to discover much about Wallace Delois Wattles' life, it is known that he was born in the United States in 1860. And that he initially lived a life consisting of failure, defeat and poverty.
But then latter in his life, after studying, practicing and applying the principles that he writes about in his books he turn his life completely around.
In the preface to The Science of Getting Rich, perhaps one of the greatest books ever written, Wallace Wattles advises us to limit our study (as he must have himself) to "the monistic theory of the universe – the theory that One is All, and that All is One; that one Substance manifests itself as the seeming many elements of the material world.
This theory is of Hindu origin, and has been gradually winning its way into the thought of western world for three hundred years. It is the foundation of all the Oriental philosophies, and those of Descartes, Spinoza, Leibnitz, Schopenhauer, Hegel and Emerson."
He continues, "The reader who would dig to the philosophical foundations is advised to read Hegel and Emerson for himself."
Wallace Wattles wrote several books including:
The Science of Getting Rich,
The Science of Being Great,
The Science of Being Well,
Making of the Man Who Can,
Health Through New Thought and Fasting,
Several shorter manuscripts,
plus a novel, Hellfire Harrison.
However, it is for his prosperity classic, The Science of Getting Rich that he is best known.
Through his tireless study and application of New Thought Principles Wallace was able to turn his life from poverty and failure in a prosperous way of living. Having discovered these secrets, Wallace began to write books to share these principles and Universal Laws with the world.
His daughter Florence has been quoted as saying, "He wrote almost constantly. It was then that he formed his mental picture. He saw himself as a successful writer, a personality of power, an advancing man, and he began to work toward the realization of this vision. He lived every page ... His life was truly the powerful life."
