Fun Fact
Wattles' *The Science of Getting Rich* is a seminal work for anyone interested in the practical application of metaphysical principles to material life. Its direct, no-nonsense approach to manifestation and prosperity makes it highly accessible, yet it demands genuine mental discipline and consistent effort. While it excels at demystifying the mechanics of attraction, those seeking a passive 'wish-and-receive' formula may find its emphasis on active creative thought challenging. It remains an indispensable text in the realm of New Thought and conscious creation, offering a robust framework that has endured for over a century.

📝 Description: The Science of Getting Rich: Attracting Financial Success Through Creative Thought (Edition, , New of Financial Success)

The step-by-step scientific approach to attracting financial and spiritual wealth - This is the 100-year-old book that inspired Rhonda Byrne's bestselling The Secret - Explains the precise series of practical steps that, if followed, guarantee prosperity - Reveals the secrets that underlie today's success and prosperity movements In his bestselling book, Wallace D. Wattles explains that "universal mind" underlies and permeates all creation. Through the process of visualization we can engage the law of attraction--impressing our thoughts upon "formless substance" and bringing the desired object or circumstances into material form. The author emphasizes the critical importance of attitude: only by aligning ourselves with the positive forces of natural law can we gain unlimited access to the creative mind and its abundant rewards. The Science of Getting Rich holds the secret to how economic and emotional security can be achieved in a practical, imaginative, and noncompetitive way, while maintaining a loving and harmonious relationship with all of life. By living in accordance with the positive principles outlined in this book, we can find our rightful place in the cosmic scheme and create for ourselves an environment in which to grow in wealth, wisdom, and happiness. Rhonda Byrne, in her book and DVD, The Secret, tells how a 100-year-old book entered her life and changed it forever. Here is that book. Written in 1910, The Science of Getting Rich inspired Byrne to create her bestselling DVD, and subsequently, to write her book. She has said that it "gave me a glimpse of The Secret. It was like a flame inside of my heart. And with every day since, it's just become a raging fire of wanting to share all of this with the world." "There is a science of getting rich. It is an exact science, like algebra or arithmetic. There are certain laws which govern the process of acquiring riches. Once a person learns and obeys these laws, he will get rich with mathematical certainty." --Wallace D. Wattles, The Science of Getting Rich

Esoterica Books editorial team
Occult literature desk
Wattles presents a compelling, if somewhat simplistic, formula for wealth that prioritizes mental discipline over external action. While the core premise of creative thought is inspiring, the text may frustrate readers who demand concrete business strategies or psychological depth. It is not suited for skeptics who require empirical evidence or those who view money solely through a moralistic lens. The prose can feel repetitive to advanced practitioners of manifestation, yet it remains an accessible entry point for beginners. Those expecting immediate magical results without consistent mental practice may find the process tedious, but its influence on modern success philosophy is undeniable.

🎯 Key themes and symbolism

Cosmic Creative Source

Wattles introduces the concept of a "Universal Mind" or "Formless Substance" as the primordial energy from which all things originate. This theme explores how understanding this omnipresent intelligence is the first step toward consciously shaping one's reality and accessing the boundless potential within the cosmos.

Thought Manifestation

The book meticulously details how concentrated thought and clear mental imagery act as a powerful catalyst. By consistently directing one's intentions with faith, individuals can impress their desires upon the Universal Mind, activating the Law of Attraction to bring their envisioned wealth and circumstances into being.

Harmonious Prosperity

Beyond mere acquisition, this theme emphasizes achieving wealth in a non-competitive, ethically aligned manner. Wattles argues that true success stems from maintaining a positive, grateful attitude and operating in harmony with universal laws, ensuring both material gain and a loving, balanced relationship with the world.

📜 Historical context

Published in 1910, Wattles' work emerged from the New Thought movement, a philosophical current emphasizing the power of positive thinking and spiritual principles in everyday life. It stands as a cornerstone text, predating and profoundly influencing many contemporary self-help and prosperity teachings, including the widely known Law of Attraction concepts popularized a century later.

📔 Questions to reflect on

  1. Reflect on a current financial goal. How clear is your mental image of its attainment? What specific feelings does this image evoke?
  2. Consider a past success. How did your attitude and belief system contribute to its manifestation? Can you apply these insights to your present desires?
  3. Wattles emphasizes living in harmony. How might your pursuit of wealth currently be out of alignment, and what steps can you take to re-harmonize your intentions and actions?
