      Written in the late 1800's and reportedly the prelude to the Secret, this small book has powerful directions for getting rich. Its a science that anyone can use with the right set of instructions. The author eventually got rich, but died early in life. However his thoughts and ideas are as relevant today as they were when he put them on paper.
    • 5/5
      This is the original work that brought to light concepts like "law of attraction", the "Original Substance" i.e. God, impressing your thoughts on the "Thinking Substance", etc. and it was published in 1910 (!) Later books like "Think and Grow Rich" and the latest "bestsellers" like "The Secret", are simply extensions of this primal book. Read it, practice it, be wealthy beyond the simple possession of "stuff". This is a book for your mind and your spirit.
    • 4/5
      I just rated this as 4 stars since I haven’t proven yet that the theories stated in this book are true. Overall, I love the way Wattles explained his theory by means of using simple lay man’s terms. He also uses a Christian perspective as an example which makes it easier for anyone to understand.This book does not only open your mind to the possibility that being rich can be easily attained but it also explains in detail how to actually do it. It helps to overcome the common notion that being wealthy is applicable only for those who are already born rich. We have to start changing these negative perceptions by embracing the power of positive thinking and begin to act upon it.Note: I’ve read an eBook version (Published April 19th 2007 by Tarcher) which is already simplified thus it’s easier to understand than the original one that was published in 1910.
    • 5/5
      Very powerful reading. A book that you won't want to put down once you have started to read it. Though written years ago in 1910 to be exact, the message is still vibrant and fresh today and the principles can be adapted for today's life style. Wallace D. Wattles is basically saying that the real power and science of getting rich lies within everyone of us, we just need instructions or guidance how to use it to benefit us in our daily lives.

    Summary Of The Science Of Getting Rich

    Publishers’ Preface

    In 1910 Wallace Wattles published ‘The Science of Getting Rich’ – the book that went on to change countless lives and exposed once and for all the secret to unlimited abundance. Whilst its content is over 100 years old, the sheer magnitude of wealth to be found in Wattles’ words has never been as relevant as it is in today’s ‘money-minded’ modern age.

    A more recent, popular example of this book’s power can be found in the story of Rhonda Byrne – creator of the world-wide phenomenon ‘The Secret’. Released in 2006, the book cites Wattles work and Byrne credits ‘The Science of Getting Rich’ for her own incredible successes and remarkable wealth.

    Byrne is just one example of the millions of people whose personal transformation stemmed from this one-of-a-kind book. Each person who has delved into its pages has emerged more focused, successful and abundant. Readers of the book speak of the wealth of lessons they find that help them to achieve their own physical wealth, regardless of their background or ‘financial story’. These stories may be very similar to the one you have today. A story that you too can change for the better.

    Once you’ve absorbed the teachings of this timeless classic, you may find that you have the answers you’ve long been looking for.

    Why do some people seem to ‘have it all’, whilst others are left on the wayside?

    Why does wealth and unlimited abundance fall into the laps of some, whilst others equally as capable and hardworking can become ‘stuck’ in a perpetual state of wanting and lack?

    As you’ll learn from Wattles, the answers to these questions have nothing to do with education, status, circumstance or capability. Nor do they have anything to do with secret formulas or cheap tricks. No – the answer lies inside of YOU. In this book Wattles shares the lessons he discovered for unlocking incredible abundance within himself and attracting unlimited wealth - to help you achieve the very same. Wattles shares all of this in a straightforward and simple manner that explains how anyone can attract unlimited abundance into their life.

    Regardless of your financial story to-date, it is where you’re going now that is important. This book is the answer to your prosperity wishes. It will change your life.

    Read this book and process the simple, yet profound, wisdom Wattles has to share with you. Then be amazed, as your relationships begin to heal, your income levels rise, and abundance flows into your life in increasingly miraculous and powerful ways.

    This is an extraordinary book for those seeking to live the life less ordinary. Read it carefully and take your time with it, there is immense value to be found on each and every page. Have fun applying the down-to-earth processes revealed and revered by Wattles himself.

    Remember to go into this book with an open heart and an open mind. Stick with it; you are about to be exposed to the fundamental principles needed for the ultimate abundance mindset.

    It is as Wallace himself says, ‘Whatever may be said in praise of poverty, the fact remains that it is not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless one is rich.’ However, what Wallace knew already is that inside every reader there is all of the richness that they seek…Everything you want is already right in front of you. Let Wattles open your eyes with this book.

    An exciting new reality awaits you.

    Author’s Preface

    This book is pragmatical, not philosophical; a practical manual, not a treatise upon theories. It is intended for the men and women whose most pressing need is for money; who wish to get rich first, and philosophise afterward. It is for those who have, so far, found neither the time, the means, nor the opportunity to go deeply into the study of metaphysics, but who want results and who are willing to take the conclusions of science as a basis for action, without going into all the processes by which those conclusions were reached.

    It is expected that the reader will take the fundamental statements upon faith, just as he would take statements concerning a law of electrical action if they were promulgated by a Marconi or an Edison; and, taking the statements upon faith, that he will prove their truth by acting upon them without fear or hesitation. Every man or woman who does this will certainly get rich; for the science herein applied is an exact science, and failure is impossible. For the benefit, however, of those who wish to investigate philosophical theories and so secure a logical basis for faith, I will here cite certain authorities.

    The monistic theory of the universe the theory that One is All, and that All is One; That one Substance manifests itself as the seeming many elements of the material world -is of Hindu origin, and has been gradually winning its way into the thought of the western world for two hundred years. It is the foundation of all the Oriental philosophies, and of those of Descartes, Spinoza, Leibnitz, Schopenhauer, Hegel, and Emerson.

    The reader who would dig to the philosophical foundations of this is advised to read Hegel and Emerson for himself.
