Reviews for The Science of Getting Rich

[bgem_4 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

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.

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.

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.
