The Science of Getting Rich
Originally published in 1910, this book takes the mystery out of the accumulation of wealth and breaks it down into a scientific formula.
Here is an excerpt from the Preface of the book:
This book 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 to go deeply into the study of metaphysics, 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 those 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….
….In writing this book 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….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.

The Science of Getting Rich
“THIS book 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 to go deeply into the study of metaphysics, 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 those 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 this book I have sacrificed all other considerations to plainness and simplicity of style, so that all might understand. The plan of action laid down therein 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.”

Review by Michael Mendenhall for The Science of Getting Rich
Rating:
If someday somebody creates a “Hall of Fame” for self-help success books, this one will definitely be in there. I’ve read this book at least a half dozen times since I bought it a year ago. What makes it so appealing is that it’s short, to the point, and very readable.You can probably read this book in a good two hours. It takes me longer because I stop periodically to absorb the message. The tone of the book reminds me of “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill.This book was originally written almost a hundred years ago. It is focused on the acquisition of money, period. It’s not about raising your self esteem, setting goals and leading a happy life. It’s just plain money making. I like a bold author who cuts to the chase. I particularly like his assertion that we have “a right to be rich.” No, it’s not about greed and selfishness. It’s not about trampling over other people.The only downside to this book is that it won’t appeal to some people because it comes across as “psycho babble” in many ways. There really aren’t any particular exercises in this book “how to” get rich in the sense of what to do for a living or what investments to make. The reader just has to take everything on faith that he/she will magically, through thought and acceptance, get rich. Okay, maybe a lot of people find that hard to believe, but he doesn’t advocate sitting in a corner meditating all day either. I would summarize his prescription for getting rich as going about your daily business, but organize your life in such a way that money can flow into it. I have friends who insist that no matter what they do, they just can’t get ahead. They know all the reasons why things won’t work. Can’t find a good job. Employers don’t pay enough. It’s the economy. It’s my upbringing. Blah, blah, blah. Life really is a self-fulfilling prophecy. I have had some people object to this book because all it talks about is money and really nothing else. If money isn’t important, why do we work so hard and look forward to promotions and raises? There is a sense of denial and shame that go with money, and I’m really glad I read this book to remind me that not only is getting rich a right, it is natural and it doesn’t have to harm anyone or anything.My favorite chapter in this little book was the one about gratitude. The author advocates being grateful before having the money. He claims that abundance is natural and invevitable if we accept it, so we should be grateful for it ahead of time instead of afterwards. Maybe that’s why there are so few rich people. We’re all saying “show me the money” without accepting that it will happen and naturally happens. Once we receive the money, then we will be grateful. Ever notice how few people in the world are really grateful? I suspect it’s because we were taught to think backwards. I find the biggest impediment to our supply of money seems to be in the mind. It’s hard to get rich when everyone around you is complaining about how unfair life is.I’m giving this book 5 stars because I find it to be very readable and very true. I warn the reader that much of the book requires a ton of faith. It may take a while for the ideas to sink in, especially if you’re used to working hard for money. It’s worth reading several times but spaced apart. I find myself even now reading it every so often to refresh my mind.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this book will without any doubt change your life, by changing your mind about the concept of “money”. So many of us were brought up with the idea of money as a finite resource, which you had to compete for. This book is desgined to release every preconcieved idea that is holding us all back from wealth.The basic premise of this book is that becoming wealthy is a science, that once understood, and replicated will create wealth in everyone’s life. Wealth is as infinite as the creative mind. Create ideas, take action and abundance will flow.I have read over 200 books on success and wealth, before I read this book. Nothing I had read upto this point had such an incrediblely profound effect on my wealth, because it changed my misconceptions on what it took to become wealthy. Within ten months of applying these principles and concepts, I had expedentially increased my income to levels that would had been unthinkable 12 months earlier.I would reccomend that every student of this book, also read, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Money is Easy by Larry Winget, The Einstien Factor Wenger & Poe, Psyco Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz & Born Rich by Bob Proctor. All these books will enhance your understanding of this incredible book.The ideas and concepts, once studied and applied will transform your mental approach to money. This is a book that will take you a day to read, but a life-time to understand fully. Give it serious study, and I guarantee you success

This new release is a reprint of the original 1910 edition of Wallace Wattles’ guide to financial success and personal growth. Make sure that you get the new 2002 Iceni Books edition, and not some of the other versions that are around, which have been made unusable by editing. Wattles’ book is a true classic in the genre, and it has been mentioned along with such other classics like George Clason’s “The Richest Man In Babylon” and Napoleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich.” It was always a surprise to me, that this book, in full original title “The Science of Getting Rich or Financial Success Through Creative Thought,” is less well-known than the titles mentioned above. While Clason’s book, in the essence, is a tale about the workings of exponential growth, and Hill’s book is little more than the repetition of the formula, “whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve,” in Wattles’ book there is much more to be found.Wattles, like Hill, also emphasizes the importance of using one’s power of thought, and one’s willpower, as an indispensable ingredient on the way to get rich. But Wattles with his suggestions is way ahead of Hill, because he does not think exclusively along egoistical lines, as does Hill. Throughout the book he warns the reader of acquiring riches in a competitive way, and strongly advises to do any business in a creative way instead. He asserts that the reader should never compete for what is already there, but should instead create something of value, be it a product, or a service. This thought alone is a revelation. Wattles makes unmistakably clear that only in that way it is possible for everyone to get rich. Instead of keeping others down by competition, if you strive to get rich in a creative way, you inspire other people to do so as well, and open up a way for others to follow.Besides this thought, which is original in how to get rich, and self-help literature, Wattles has much other original, yet always practical, advice for his readers, like how to best get into the right business, how to direct thoughts and actions purposefully, how to convey the impression of personal growth, and much more. I am issuing here, however, some kind of a warning to you: Wattles grounds his science on the ideas of oriental philosophies, which state that there exists one original substance in the universe, where all things originate from. To back up that notion, he mentions that this idea was also held by many western philosophers, like Hegel, and Emerson, and requires the reader to accept the truth of this notion by faith. I cannot say that I am a believer in the one substance, and still, I have learned some of my most important lessons from Wattles. So do not be put off by that esoteric concept, but concentrate instead on the solid foundations of financial and personal success that Wattles hands over to you. I am convinced that Wattles in this book says all that you need for success.
Review by Blake Leverett for The Science of Getting Rich
Rating:
Dr. Powell has butchered this classic to the point that this copy is not useable. Instead of the clear, simple prose W.D. Wattles wrote, you are left with the mindless drivel that Dr. Powell uses as examples to illustrate Wattles’ points. Wattles expressly left out examples, and it was very effective. If you want to read what Wattles wrote, your only choice at this time is to find it elsewhere on the net, as the original version is no longer in print. There are a number of versions of this book floating around, but this one has the least in common with the original.

If you are going to buy Wallace Wattles, you may as well get the three books in one anthology. It is only two dollars extra.
It (SGR)is an easy read, and it’s highly useful. You can get rich by acting in a certain way, and having certain beliefs. I believe this already. The one concept that was new to to me the importance of gratitude, which activates the higher vibrations of your mind, and assists mightily in manifesting what you desire.
Currently, I am reading the science of being great. It is a very simple straightforward book that anyone can follow.
Is this the foremost book on Law of Attraction? No. Yet it is still worth a read, and highly recommended. For other recommendations, check my other recent reviews. Hope this was useful.

I was disappointed to read the reviews of those who did not feel enriched by the Wattles work. But I was enlightened. One poor fellow even lists items that he does not recognize as being viable components of the recommendations. Wow. Now I understand WHY ‘The Secret’ is such a hit. The techno-reverberating spoon-feed with interpretation and driving force is just necessary to break through so many engrained barriers.
Some fault-finders are unimpressed with the simplicity of the teachings, so I am lead to think they are NOT victims of teachings about how it is a paramount sin to be wealthy, because only those who abuse others can be wealthy. Unfortunately, I hear that from folks constantly –folks who are confining themselves to limited lifestyles by assuming that having less or being powerless guarantees some future home in heaven.
The folks who MOST need Wattles’ health perspective (IMHO) are so busy telling the world about their aches and pains, seeing pricey specialists, and electing surgeries, they cannot IMAGINE living without pain, or even TRYING to demand more of life. It takes a rare capability to look at your own behavior and discern where you may be shooting yourself in the foot.
I hope everyone will take note of the remarks of BOTH naysayers and praisers so that they can approach these ideas with an open and inquisitieve mind, knowing that the impact could fall in either court. The Science of Getting Rich is not a get-rich-quick scheme, it is a how-to for living prosperously, as ‘..Being Well’ is a how-to living in a healthy way. The value of the written (spoken) word depends on the reader (listener); whether you can recognize changes in your lifestyle that might improve your quality of life.
My comments concern the original Wattles printed work, not the mp3.
I give the material 4 stars only because of the aforementioned (earlier reviewer’s remarks) low quality in typesetting and reproduction, so the mp3 has potential of being excellent, depending upon the voice and expression of the reader.

You have to clear your head of old habits, thoughts, the way you have always done things, etc. for this enlightened work. Mr. Wattles lays out the basic way of how we should (must) approach each day with our concept of wealth, self, and health. He shows us how to break out of our mold of ‘how we have always done things’, ‘how we have always thought things’ and gives us a different perspective of viewing life itself with ‘self’ being the nucleus in which to start. I highly recommend this book if you really want to change to being truly positive on your outlook with ‘self’ and gain knowledge on how to take back control of your life.
