About 1 h 33 min of reading18 chapters

The Science of Getting Rich, published in 1910, is Wallace D. Wattles's compact statement of the New Thought doctrine that wealth follows a certain way of thinking. Wattles argues that there is a thinking substance from which all things are made, that a clear mental picture held with faith and purpose impresses itself on that substance, and that the reader should act in the creative rather than the competitive spirit, doing each day all that can be done and doing it in a certain way. The seventeen short chapters are confident, repetitive and free of hedging. The book circulated quietly for decades and found a new audience when it was acknowledged as the inspiration for The Secret. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
