The Science of Being Great, Wallace D. Wattles' final word in self-mastery and his finest work, will be of value to every person who seeks true fulfillment and the awakening of his or her highest potential. With its powerful message, this book is for everyone, at any age, who wants to make the most of themselves. It is a companion work to his other classic, The Science of Getting Rich.
