What to read after The Science of Being Well?

In 'The Science of Being Well,' Wallace D. Wattles offers a prescriptive manual for achieving and maintaining optimal health that complements the financial strategies laid out in his first volume, 'The Science of Getting Rich.' Departing from theoretic exposition, Wattles delivers a practical and discernible guide embracing the tenets of the New Thought movement. His literary approach, potent with the optimistic pulse characteristic of early 20th-century self-help doctrines, dovetails neatly with the burgeoning literature of personal improvement and metaphysical understanding of the era. Wattles' prose flows with a simplicity that belies the depth of his system, one grounded in the rigorous mental discipline and a harmonious view of the mind-body connection. Wallace Delois Wattles' life and work were influenced by the dynamic intellectual climate of New Thought philosophy and its proponents. Embedded in the teachings of thinkers like Hegel and Emerson, Wattles distilled their complex metaphysical concepts into accessible, actionable strategies for the layperson. His Midwest sojourns, notably to Chicago, were instrumental in shaping his ideas as he engaged with prominent contemporaries in the movement. Through his lectures and writings, Wattles sought to empower individuals to harness the power of their thoughts, subsequently transforming his insights into practical steps for achieving personal wellness. 'The Science of Being Well' is a must-read for anyone seeking a foundational text linking the power of mindset to health. Wattles' grounded, yet profound guidance offers valuable insight not only to readers interested in the historical perspective of New Thought ideas but also to those seeking to apply timeless principles to contemporary wellness challenges. This concise and thoughtful work is a testament to the enduring relevance of Wattles' message: that well-being, much like wealth, may be cultivated through deliberate and scientifically informed mental practices.
