Rev. Ike's Secrets for Health, Joy and Prosperity, for YOU: A Science of Living Study Guide

Rev. Ike's Secrets for Health, Joy and Prosperity, for YOU is a study guide in what its author called the Science of Living, a fusion of New Thought mental-power teaching with prosperity theology. Its central claim is that thought and self-image are the true engines of wealth and wellbeing, a doctrine he branded Thinkonomics.

Cast as a practical course, the guide presses the New Thought premise of mental causation to its most explicit and openly money-focused form, teaching that prosperity is produced from within rather than granted by circumstance. Its register is charismatic and unapologetically material.

As a mass-media preacher, Reverend Ike carried mind-power prosperity teaching to an audience largely outside the existing New Thought churches, prefiguring the modern prosperity-gospel and manifestation ecosystems. His money-forward extremity also places the work at the tradition's controversial edge.
