Fasting has long been an exercise practiced by those seeking spiritual power, but here, the author asserts the benefits of fasting on physical power as well. He uses own experience and firsthand knowledge to drive his theories on how to increase one's health, happiness, and creativity through a different way. In addition to discussing the nutritional content, quantity, and timing of eating, he includes detailed arguments for the benefit of adequate sleep and the importance of deep breathing and fresh air. The author stands out from other writers on health and wellness (even today) by the simplest principles and common sense, making clear his affirmation that is it possible for anyone to improve health and happiness without the need for elaborate science. The author himself overcame poverty and failure to become a pioneer of the early self-help movement. Among his books are The Science of Getting Rich, The Science of Being Great, and The Science of Being Well.
