The Science of Getting Rich
By Wallace D. Wattles
First published in 1910, The Science of Getting Rich has helped thousands to learn the great secret of gaining wealth. Wallace Wattles clearly explains how wealth does not come from talent or ability. In fact, Wattles comments, “Studying the people who have got rich, we find that they are an average lot in all respects, having no greater talents and abilities than other men.”
How, then, have these people gotten wealthy, while others have not? In The Science of Getting Rich, Wallace Wattles unfolds the secret of their success, while making clear that this wealth ‘secret’ is freely available to everyone.
The Science of Getting Rich is a must-read book for all those who wish to be successful in life. For best results, we suggest that you bookmark this page and read one chapter daily.

Table of Contents
PREFACE
The Science of Getting Rich is pragmatical, not philosophical; a practical manual, not a treatise upon theories. It is intended for the men and women whose most pressing need is for money; who wish to get rich first, and philosophize afterward. It is for those who have, so far, found neither the time, the means, nor the opportunity, but who want results and who are willing to take the conclusions of science as a basis for action, without going into all the processes by which whose conclusions were reached.
It is expected that the reader will take the fundamental statements upon faith, just as he would take statements concerning a law of electrical action if they were promulgated by a Marconi or an Edison; and, taking the statements upon faith, that he will prove their truth by acting upon them without fear or hesitation. Every man or woman who does this will certainly get rich; for the science herein applied is an exact science, and failure is impossible. For the benefit, however, of those who wish to investigate philosophical theories and so secure a logical basis for faith, I will here cite certain authorities.
The monistic theory of the universe the theory that One is All, and that All is One; That one Substance manifests itself as the seeming many elements of the material world—is of Hindu origin, and has been gradually winning its way into the thought of the western world for two hundred years. It is the foundation of all the Oriental philosophies, and of those of Descartes, Spinoza, Leibnitz, Schopenhauer, Hegel, and Emerson.
The reader who would dig to the philosophical foundations of this is advised to read Hegel and Emerson for himself.
In writing The Science of Getting Rich I have sacrificed all other considerations to plainness and simplicity of style, so that all might understand. The plan of action laid down herein was deduced from the conclusions of philosophy; it has been thoroughly tested, and bears the supreme test of practical experiment; it works. If you wish to know how the conclusions were arrived at, read the writings of the authors mentioned above; and if you wish to reap the fruits of their philosophies in actual practice, read this book and do exactly as it tells you to do.
