THE SCIENCE OF BEING GREAT The Practical Guide to a Life of Power

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.
