What is the Best Free Ebook on Prosperity?


Hundreds of free ebooks are available online, but what is the best free e-book on prosperity? Of course, "the best" is always a relative term, and eventually it comes to which book resonates more with you. That said, we will briefly review three of the most popular prosperity ebooks available for free online.

Note: All the following titles are in the public domain and are freely available from a number of websites.

1. The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattles. Written in 1906, the book of mimosa is heavily influenced by the ancient Indian philosophy of monism, and writers such as Spinoza and Emerson. It is above all a practical book, which emphasizes the importance of gratitude, visualization and "creative thinking".

This book also works influenced many modern prosperity, such as Think and Grow Rich and The Millionaire Mind. And although Wattles used the phrase "the Law of Attraction", his book is said to have influenced the highly successful movie, The Secret.

Verdict: An excellent introduction to the thought prosperity and positive thinking. Overall rating: 5 stars out of 5.

2. The Master Key System by Charles F. Haanel. This classic e-book on prosperity has many fans, and deserves a look. Written in 1912, The Master Key System was originally conceived as a correspondence course in success in 24 parts, which represent the scientific principles that govern the development and prosperity.

Haanel work is informative and concise, although it lacks the motivational aspects present in The Science of Getting Rich. The Master Key System is said to have influenced much of the so-called "New Thought" religious philosophy of the early 1900's. The book was even banned by the Catholic Church in 1933, and have begun to reappear in the last 25 years.

Verdict: The Master Key System is a good introduction to the natural principles of success and prosperity, but lacks the impact on motivation at times. Overall rating: 4 stars out of 5.

3. As a man thinketh by James Allen. James Allen was born in Leicester in England and has written over 20 books before his death at the young age of 48 years. His most important work, as a man thinks, is a study of human potential, the power of the mind.

Allen has a variety of influences as diverse as the liberal Protestant and Zen Buddhism in support of its contention that the circumstances of life are a direct indication of our character. In other words, we create our lives by design - not by chance or fate.

This book challenges the reader to accept responsibility for the results they see in their lives, and then move forward with the knowledge that our inner state will always be fully reflected in our external circumstances.

Unlike other books on personal development of its era, as a man thinketh also discusses the power of meditation and the so-called "altered states". In this regard, it is certainly ahead of its time. Modern books such as Norman Vincent Peale, The Power of Positive Thinking is obviously influenced by the findings as a man thinks.

Verdict: As a man thinks is not a beginner's guide to prosperity, but it deserves stands as a classic personal development. Overall rating: 5 stars out of 5.

All these books have been written almost a century ago or more, and have stood the test of time. Choose the best free e-book on the prosperity of these three will be mostly a matter of personal taste, however, is unlikely to go wrong with any of these titles. They all represent an advanced understanding of the science of prosperity and abundant life ....
