The Science of Being Well
By Wallace D. Wattles (1860 - 1911)

If you are seeking better health and ways to stay well…This book is for you! Wallace D. Wattles was an American author and a pioneer success new thought movement writer. His most famous work and first book is a book called The Science of Getting Rich in which he explains how to get rich. Additionally, In the Science of Getting Well, Wattles suggests the reader to think and ACT in a Certain Way. As with his first book, Wattles explains in simple concepts the keys to Getting Well. With faith and discipline, Wattles suggests you can stay well. Says Wattles “for those who want health, and who want a practical guide and handbook, not a philosophical treatise. It is an instructor in the use of the universal Principle of Life, and my effort has been to explain the way in so plain and simple a fashion that the reader, though he may have given no previous study to New Thought or metaphysics, may readily follow it to perfect health”. (Summary by Jill Preston, Wikipedia and book Preface “Science of Getting Well”)

PREFACE
15 mins

This volume is the second of a series, the first of which is "THE SCIENCE OF GETTING RICH."
CHAPTER I. THE PRINCIPLE OF HEALTH.
20 mins

In the personal application of the Science of Being Well, as in that of the Science of Getting Rich, certain fundamental truths must be known in the beginning, and accepted without question.
CHAPTER II. THE FOUNDATIONS OF FAITH.
20 mins

Before man can think in the Certain Way which will cause his diseases to be healed, he must believe in certain truths which are here stated:
CHAPTER III. LIFE AND ITS ORGANISMS.
20 mins

The human body is the abiding place of an energy which renews it when worn; which eliminates waste or poisonous matter, and which repairs the body when broken or injured.
CHAPTER IV. WHAT TO THINK.
20 mins

In order to sever all mental relations with disease, you must enter into mental relations with health, making the process positive not negative; one of assumption, not of rejection.
CHAPTER V. FAITH.
20 mins

The Principle of Health is moved by Faith; nothing else can call it into action, and only faith can enable you to relate yourself to health, and sever your relation with disease, in your thoughts.
CHAPTER VI. USE OF THE WILL.
20 mins

In the practice of the Science of Being Well the will is not used to compel yourself to go when you are not really able to go, or to do things when you are not physically strong enough to do them.
CHAPTER VII. HEALTH FROM GOD.
20 mins

I will give a chapter here to explaining how man may receive health from the Supreme.
CHAPTER VIII. SUMMARY OF THE MENTAL ACTIONS.
20 mins

Let me now summarize the mental actions and attitudes necessary to the practice of the Science of Being Well:
CHAPTER IX. WHEN TO EAT.
20 mins

You cannot build and maintain a perfectly healthy body by mental action alone, or by the performance of the unconscious or involuntary functions alone.
CHAPTER X. WHAT TO EAT.
20 mins

The current sciences of medicine and hygiene have made no progress toward answering the question, What shall I eat?
CHAPTER XI. HOW TO EAT.
20 mins

It is a settled fact that man naturally chews his food. The few faddists who maintain that we should bolt our nourishment, after the manner of the dog and others of the lower animals, can no longer get a hearing; we know that we should chew our food.
CHAPTER XII. HUNGER AND APPETITES.
20 mins

It is very easy to find the correct answer to the question, How much shall I eat?
CHAPTER XIII. IN A NUTSHELL.
20 mins

There is a Cosmic Life which permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe, being in and through all things.
CHAPTER XIV. BREATHING.
20 mins

The function of breathing is a vital one, and it immediately concerns the continuance of life.
CHAPTER XV. SLEEP.
20 mins

Vital power is renewed in sleep. Every living thing sleeps; men, animals, reptiles, fish, and insects sleep, and even plants have regular periods of slumber.
CHAPTER XVI. SUPPLEMENTARY INSTRUCTIONS.
25 mins

In forming a conception of health, it is necessary to think of the manner in which you would live and work if you were perfectly well and very strong; to imagine yourself doing things in the way of a perfectly well and very strong person, until you have a fairly good conception of what you would be if you were well.
CHAPTER XVII. A SUMMARY OF THE SCIENCE OF BEING WELL.
20 mins

Health is perfectly natural functioning, normal living. There is a Principle of Life in the universe; it is the Living Substance, from which all things are made.
