"There is a science of getting rich, and it is an exact science, like algebra or arithmetic. There are certain laws which govern the process of acquiring riches, and once these laws are learned and obeyed by anyone, that person will get rich with mathematical certainty." -- W.D. Wattles

Wallace D. Wattles was one of the leading New Thought authors that introduced the world to the power of positive thinking. "The Science Of" trilogy was a major inspiration for Rhonda Byrne's bestselling book and film titled "The Secret" concerning the Law of Attraction. The text is divided into 17 short straight-to-the-point chapters that will explain how to overcome mental barriers, and how creation, not competition, is the hidden key to attracting more wealth into your life.

The Science of Getting Rich is based upon what Wallace Wattles called "The Certain Way of Thinking", which descended from the Mental Healing Movement that had started earlier with Phineas P. Quimby in the mid-19th Century.

This book will change your mind about the concept of "money" and to release every preconcieved idea that is holding us all back from wealth. Once the science of becoming wealthy is understood, it can be replicated to create wealth in everyone's life. Wealth is as infinite as the creative mind. Create ideas, take action and abundance will flow.

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 mate- rial 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, Schopen- hauer, Hegel, and Emerson.

There are three motives for which we live; we live for the body, we live for the mind, we live for the soul. No one of these is better or holier than the other; all are alike desirable, and no one of the three—body, mind, or soul—can live fully if either of the others is cut short of full life and expression.

It is perfectly right that you should desire to be rich; if you are a normal man or woman you cannot help doing so. It is perfectly right that you should give your best attention to the Science of Getting Rich, for it is the noblest and most neces- sary of all studies. If you neglect this study, you are derelict in your duty to your- self, to God and humanity; for you can render to God and humanity no greater service than to make the most of yourself.
