The Science Of Being Great, by Wallace D. Wattles (1860 - 1911)
The 3rd and final book in Wallace D. Wattles' "The Science of.." trilogy. Wattles offers this work as a practical guide to achieve greatness, by covering topics such as our thoughts, habits, God, and the actions we can choose to take. Whoever you are, and whatever your circumstances, you can change, and become great. (Summary by Daniel Sanchez)

Target completion date: 2023-12-31

Prooflistening level: Standard
Prospective PLs, please see the Guide for Proof-listeners.

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Just to be sure you are aware, there is already a version of this in the catalogue. You can read it, but some readers prefer to read something we do not already have.

Hi Daniel,

I can see that this one's been recorded before, and apparently from the same source, but it's not one that meets our policy requirements.

We've found another source - would you be willing to read from this scan instead?

I'll be out for a bit on this last weekend of April, but still checking in as I get the chance. I will try to follow up on Monday, with anything I can't do on the go.
