The science of getting rich

This was written by Wallace D. Wattles about a century ago...he made a study of how/why rich people become rich...and reduced it to an exact science. Straightforward and to the point, the language is obviously a bit dated, but the concept is perfectly clear and logically set out.

His book formed the starting point for the very successful "The Secret" industry.

I have this book in Word format. It is copyright expired material.

If anyone wants a copy- PM me here with an email address and I'll send it to you.

Or, you could simply google it and find a downloadable copy- Kindle etc. included.

    Rob- The internet NEVER ceases to amaze me...it is a truly awesome thing in the most literal sense of the word.
    (My personal "online addiction" is playing chess....and I would not be able to play the number of games that I play live and/or simultaneously online every day, even if I had a personal supersonic jet at my disposal....LOL, the only practically possible way would be if I could teleport!)
    We are able to accomplish almost instantaneously that which took weeks or months (if at all posiible!) not so long ago.....there was no google to browse the content (never mind the titles) of just about every publication past and present.
    And you're right- the quality is amazing....sadly, the "noise" of junk has also increased tremendously....still and all- amazing, as you say!

    • I asked this question in another thread but got no reply.What does W.D Wattles mean by his constant reference to doing things in "a certain way"?:confused:

  • Yep, the self help/LOA industry wouldn't be what it is today if it wasn't for good ole Wallace.
  • I read the book "The Science of getting rich" twice about a year ago and I loved the book. I highly recommend this book.

    The author mentioned that thinking and acting in a Certain Way will bring prosperity to you. It is this positive thought and the unfailing faith that you have that will move mountains and will cause the universe and God to bring you the riches that you so much desire. But one thing is sure, one must not just think only. You need to take action, if not, it will just be wishful thinking.

    When you act, you must take action in a non-competitve manner and to give to others more in use value than what they gave to you in cash value. Your attitude in giving to others is important and must come from a sincere heart. You must always be grateful and thankful to the creator of the universe thanking Him in advance for the good and bountiful things that are coming your way soon ...

  • Rich people become very rich because what's in their mind is to double up their money. So they keep on thinking a profitable new business that can add up their daily income.
  • Very good book I read around 7 years ago. I don't recall everything by hard but a few things stuck to this day which greatly helped my way of thinking before committing to a business idea. I highly recommend it especially to those who aspire to becoming successful in a business venture or in life.

  • I read the book two years ago. Because I wanted to really imprint it on my mind, I also hand-copied it into a journal then highlighted it. Around the same time, I created a list of how I was going to apply it in my life and the things I wanted to achieve. Of course, life got hectic and the journal ended up in the bottom of a drawer. I found it a month or so ago and when I re-read my list, I got goosebumps because every one of the things I had listed had happened, even though my attention had been elsewhere.

    • Awesome indeed! In the most literal sense of the word.
      What stands out for me about Wally is the fact that he observed this phenomenon.....and instead of quietly resigning himself to fate with a shrug of the shoulders (as most people would do), he set out to find out WHY this was so and perhaps more importantly- HOW this worked. On top of all that he then did humanity the immense service of documenting the method that he had observed and defined in a clear, concise and easily readable book.

      Mr. Wallace did LARGE work!

      With pleasure- check your PM here

      Amen

    • As for me, this book really had change my way of thinking. I have always believed that human mind can do wonders, but somehow only thru this book that I got my 1st inspiration how to use it for my daily life.
      Reading this book was like flipping through a lost fortune..
    • Great share, and I appreciate it! I've heard of some of the other classics like "Think and Grow Rich!" but missed this one. Excellent read, and I agree this should be added to the "must read" list.
    • Hi Piero.

      Just wanted to say I am done reading the book, I love it and I am trying to implement the philosophy in my life.

      Thank you and God Bless You,

    • Thanks to "The Science of Getting Rich" I met my wife on the forum Rebecca Fine set up to study the book, moved from the USA to Australia and now earn 1000% more than I did during my 48 years in the States! I'm eternally grateful for the lessons it teaches!

  • This is great. I read it a while ago too and it took me a bit to get past the language but it was well worth it.
  • I'd like a copy also, however, I don't have enough posts to PM you. I'll keep looking around for a copy.
    Thank you for letting us know that it's available.
  • I don't know any billionaires that this book helped. I believe it's just for wanna-bes.

    • Regardless of whether you are a millionaire or a billionaire (or neither) this is always an interesting book to read. I know a couple of multi-millionaires who have read this book. Unfortunately i don't know any billionaires. :p

  • Great book, highly recommended. I picked up The Science of Success which is 3 Wattles books in one for $5 at a yard sale. Read this Think and Grow Rich by Napolean Hill to get your mind in the right state before starting any business venture.
  • This is all stupid stuff. I don't believe in it. There's no rocket science. It's just that work hard, be dedicated, and be honest with yourself.



  • For me personally Wallace Wattles books have made a huge impact on all areas of my life - even after a decade of personal development, and I am sure that speaks both for the books and somewhat against my previous efforts

    I've recently gotten together with some friends to make this information more widely available and create some powerful tools based on it.

    If you want to access the audiobooks for free, you can either get them through the link in my signature line, OR, if you don't want to be on our email list, PM me and I will send you the direct download link, just please check out and the list of tools offered and PM me which ones (if not all) you would like to get the direct links for...

    Much love & success to all of you!

  • This is a very very good book to read
  • To understand the value of personal development books in today's culture it is good to read the golden oldies like this and "Acres of Diamonds" by Russell Conway. Samuel Smiles "Self Help" started it all off in Victorian times - I found a 1914 copy in a Shrewsbury booksellers.

    I think these writers would have been strongly criticized in their era for daring to suggest that our future success is largely up to our present attitude, decision making and action taking. People preferred to called it Fate or Damnation or The Fall Of Man. Nowadays of course we all know better and spend our time playing computer games...
  • I have read the book as well. It simply tells you that your destiny is pretty much in your hands. You have the capacity to determine how your future will be based on the kind of mental attitude you have now. Its really worth reading.
  • I accept the book is good , i dont know where i read it , but once i read it ,nice book that was and that is
  • Read the book. It was just ok.
  • Thanks for the tip,

    Will check it out now!
  • Thanks,Piero,I just downloaded this off the net as a pdf file,and am enjoying it.
  • I just finished reading this book. It is truly inspiring!
