The Science of Being Great is from the author Wallace D. Wattles (1860 - 1911), whose work inspired the cult-phenomenon book and film "The Secret". He was a widely popular and pioneering writer in the self-help and success genres. According to Wattles each person has within themselves a Principle of Health. (The word Principle is used as meaning source.) The Principle of Health in a person, when in full constructive activity, causes all the voluntary functions of his life to be perfectly performed. It is the Principle of Health in a person which really works all healing, no matter what system.

dull as hell, 150 pages of rambling
It's not based on science at all, it's all in believing you're well, you're a substance, and being thankful to God, that's all. I mean the author just says the same things over and over. I found some of his ‘advice' even dangerous, he says you shouldn't even eat or drink if you're not hungry or thirsty... Also, he says you don't even need to go to the doctor as you can heal yourself with positive thoughts, and not thinking about being ill at all.... um, what? Like, I get that positive thinking can help, but that is extreme... He presents no facts whatsoever while repetitively claiming it's the science of wellbeing.... yikes. I don't recommend this, the e advice it gives can be all on a short list, and aren't that helpful anyways. The only good parts were, about sleep, deep breaths and that's it, and I already knew that already...
