Wallace Wattle’s “The Science of Getting Rich”

“The Science of Getting Rich” by Wallace Wattles remains one of the 20th century’s most influential books. Published initially in 1910 and still in print, its principles have been incorporated in best selling wealth creation works ranging from Napoleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich” to Rhonda Byrne’s “The Secret.”

Wallace Wattles used his own life experiences with the law of attraction as the basis for organizing “The Science of Getting Rich” into principles that anyone can use for bringing more abundance into their lives. It is intended to be a pragmatic how to guide for getting rich and does not address itself to philosophical arguments on the subject of wealth.

Some of the key concepts of “The Science of Getting Rich” are intentionality, desire and attitude. In terms of intentionality, he assumes you fully intend to get rich and set that as your focus in reading the principles. Setting out with clarity in your desires and what it is you are seeking to attract into your life.

And on attitude he advises dressing, acting, thinking and speaking as the person you wish to become. And most importantly, maintaining an attitude of gratitude as your state of being.
