About this book
Wallace D. Wattles' groundbreaking 1910 self-help classic, The Science of Getting Rich, revolutionized how we think about wealth and personal success. Rather than treating financial achievement as a matter of luck or ruthless competition, Wattles presents a practical, step-by-step philosophy grounded in creative thought, visualization, and unwavering belief. At its core, this influential guide reveals how cooperative and ethical methods can lead to genuine prosperity—a radical concept for its time that launched an entire genre of transformational literature.
Drawing from New Thought philosophy, Wattles demonstrates that wealth is achievable by anyone willing to master their mindset and align their thoughts with success. His powerful principles emphasize personal agency and the remarkable control we possess over our circumstances and destinies. The author himself embodied these teachings, rising from poverty to build both financial security and community respect.
A century later, The Science of Getting Rich remains remarkably relevant for modern listeners seeking to take charge of their lives and cultivate abundance. This timeless non-fiction work speaks to anyone interested in personal development, financial independence, or understanding the psychology behind lasting success. Whether you're exploring prosperity consciousness for the first time or revisiting this seminal text, Wattles' clear, actionable insights continue to inspire transformational change.
