  The Wise Words of Wallace D Wattles

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  Wallace D Wattles was an American author, born in 1911.  
   
  He was probably most famous for his book "The Science of Getting Rich", although he wrote several other books describing the Science of Being Well, and the Science of Being Great.  
   
  He was a man very knowledgeable about the world and the natural laws that exist, and this short book is a collection of his writings on what he termed scientific principles, or natural laws. 
   
  He first addresses the topic of Time, in "The Eternal Now", and how it is most important to think in the "now" rather than the future, or past. 
   
  He then goes on to "speak" about two natural laws of the universe, which are related - The Law of Attraction, and The Law of Cause and Effect. These are about how we attract in life what we habitually think about, and how for every effect, there is a cause. 
   
  Lastly, he goes on to discuss Quantum Physics, and how our world is put together. 
   
  The four parts end with a summary created by myself, Peter Burgess, who compiled these four topics, in which I provide a short overview of each, together with my own interpretation of an aspect of quantum physics.   
   
  These are quite technical topics and should ideally be listened to with the ebook open, in order to follow, and read the text. They may need listening to, a few times, to fully understand what he is saying, but these books contain some really useful information about how our world works, and how best to achieve what it is that you desire in life. 
   
  Definitely worth a listen.
