Review: The Science of Getting Rich

The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



This book had made the "rounds" back in the 80's and I was exposed to it then for the first time. I had gotten a free copy in PDF and put it on my computer. Since this was before e-readers, I lost track of it for over 10 years...having never read it.

I then faced a series of financial challenges and began to devour my old stand-by success material and happened up on the old PDF version...serendipity.

I read the book in less than 2 hours...and read it again...and again!

At the point where I was in my life, the words were spot on. Wallace Wattles has a style that is reminiscent of James Allen in "As A Man Thinketh" and the prose resonates with me in a way that conveys "old world wisdom".

Having read & listened to 100's of success books, articles, and audio programs, I am consciously aware of what I need to do to achieve, but the reminders of a good book stimulate those learnings.

The book provides a progressive approach and crescendos with a fundamental statement that is a reverberation of Hebrews 11:1 - Now faith is the substance...

Readers of this book and familiar with the Bible will see the connection...without sermon or preaching style.

He correlates that the thoughts we think are the "mold" and that universal substance fills all space and responds to those thoughts. These are the foundation of The Secret by Rhonda Byrnes and The Science of Getting Rich is the book her daughter gave her that was the catalyst for her personal turnaround and best selling book.

While The Secret goes light in many areas, for those that want to "go deeper", I would highly recommend this book and other books and essays by Wallace Wattles.

I have this book on Cd as well and listen to it often...
