American author and speaker who wrote several books in the early 20th century
on the topics of success, wealth creation, and personal development. He is best

developing a strong desire for success.
Although Wattles passed away over a century
ago, his ideas and teachings continue to inspire and influence people today,
and his books remain popular among those seeking to improve their lives and
