The Science of Being Well: Health from a New Thought Perspective (Unabridged) (Annotated): Enriched Edition. A Practical New Thought Handbook for Health, Healing, and Daily Well-Being

In The Science of Being Well, Wallace D. Wattles extends the principles of New Thought into the realm of bodily health, arguing that wellness arises from orderly thinking, purposeful living, and harmonious relation to what he calls the "Principle of Life." Written in direct, aphoristic prose rather than clinical language, the book belongs to the early twentieth-century literature of metaphysical self-culture, where spiritual conviction, practical discipline, and optimistic psychology converge. Its unabridged form preserves both its systematic structure and its period-specific confidence in mind as an agent of physical renewal. Wattles, best known for The Science of Getting Rich, was shaped by the ferment of American New Thought, Transcendentalist inheritance, and popular reform movements concerned with self-mastery and human potential. His personal interest in economic, moral, and physical improvement informs this work: health is not treated as isolated from character or social aspiration, but as part of a larger philosophy of constructive living. This book is recommended to readers interested in the history of self-help, mind-body spirituality, and alternative health thought. While modern readers should approach its medical claims critically, they will find a lucid and historically important statement of New Thought's vision of disciplined, affirmative living.
