The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles

Product Description

As featured in the bestselling book The Secret, here is the landmark guide to wealth creation republished with the classic essay "How to Get What You Want."

Wallace D. Wattles spent a lifetime considering the laws of success as he found them in the work of the world's great philosophers. He then turned his life effort into this simple, slender book - a volume that he vowed could replace libraries of philosophy, spirituality, and self-help for the purpose of attaining one definite goal: a life of prosperity.

Wattles describes a definite science of wealth attraction, built on the foundation of one commanding idea: "There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made...A thought, in this substance, produces the thing that is imaged by the thought."

In his seventeen short, straight-to-the-point chapters, Wattles shows how to use this idea, how to overcome barriers to its application, and how work with very direct methods that awaken it in your life. He further explains how creation and not competition is the hidden key to wealth attraction, and how your power to get rich uplifts everyone around you.

The Science of Getting Rich concludes with Wattle's rare essay "How to Get Want You Want" - a brilliant refresher of his laws of wealth creation.

This book will without any doubt change your life, by changing your mind about the concept of "money". So many of us were brought up with the idea of money as a finite resource, which you had to compete for. This book is desgined to release every preconcieved idea that is holding us all back from wealth. The basic premise of this book is that becoming wealthy is a science, that once understood, and replicated will create wealth in everyone's life. Wealth is as infinite as the creative mind. Create ideas, take action and abundance will flow.

Positive Thinking
This book proves that the psuedo, New Age science is nothing new. Actually, spiritualism itself was spawned in the late 1800s. Nothing new here, either, that has spawned books like The Secret and Robert Schienfeld's stuff.

Think and it shall be given. I think JC said that as well. Pages and pages of repetitive nonsense. But it does have a compelling ring to it. What if it is true?

I believe I will become rich. Not hopefully, in the formless void, dollar bills are being printed.

Get Rich First, Philosophize Later
Unless you've been living under a rock for a good while, you're probably aware of "The Secret," the feel good movie that has made the "Law of Attraction" a household term. But, behind "The Secret" lays the work of a man dead almost 100 years - Wallace D. Wattles.

To be fair, the book, first published in 1912, never stood alone in the annals of what is called "New Thought." At the turn of the century, Wattles contemporaries Judge Thomas Troward, William Walker Atkinson, and many others offered their take on the universal laws that govern the universe and how individuals could create incredible results at will. Where Wattles departs from those that preceded him, and countless others who have followed him, is in focusing squarely on money and, in no uncertain terms, getting rich.

The book takes only a few pages to cut straight to the chase. And, once you get used to the arcane language, the book is crystal clear in virtually every argument it poses, from everyone's right to be rich, to the abundance of opportunities available to anyone, and to how riches are attracted. In fact, you've almost got to love any book about money that, in it's first sentence, says that it's "a practical manual, not a treatise upon theories...intended for the men and women whose most pressing need is for money, who wish to get rich first, and philosophize afterward."

The Science of Getting Rich is a true breath of fresh air. Not only does it summarize what wealth seekers need to know to get on the path to riches, it builds the reader's faith in the idea that anyone who gets, and stays, on the path Wattles outlines will reach their destination.

Any book that makes these kinds of promises should never remain a secret.

Worst LOA book I've ever read
I found this book to be the worst book about the law of attraction that I have ever read. I don't know how anyone could be inspired by this one.. And his style of writing was hard to read too. I know it was written many years ago, but not THAT long ago... A complete waste of my money - and I don't say that very often. If Rhonda Byrne was inspired by this book alone I have no idea how she really got around to making The Secret. This one is a depressing book.
