5.0 out of 5 stars Short book on the mental side of becoming rich

This book's formula is simple but it requires faith. It is short so it is meant to be reread. Likely multiple times. The key is the visualizations as well as the energies of gratitude and faith. I will caution that many may snicker but do not mind them.

After I read this book, I had to find it on audiobook to listen to when I’m in my car. It helped confirm what I suspected but didn’t know how to find the answer. What we say to ourselves is so powerful and important.

This isn’t another self-help book; this is a thought help book.

Read full review on my blog: imeducatingmyself.com/the-science-of-getting-rich-by-wallace-d-wattles-book-review

There is a part in this book, right at beginning of it, describing 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 afterword.

It is for those who have, so far, find 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.

Chapter 1 – The right to be rich
Chapter 2 – There is a science of getting rich
Chapter 3 – Is opportunity monopolized?
Chapter 4 – The first principle in the science in Getting Rich
Chapter 5 – Increasing life
Chapter 6 – How riches come to you
Chapter 7 – Gratitude
Chapter 8 – Thinking in a Certain Way
Chapter 9 – How to use the Will
Chapter 10 – Further use of the Will
Chapter 11 – Acting in the Certain Way
Chapter 12 – Efficient action
Chapter 13 – Getting into the Right Business
Chapter 14 – The impression of increase
Chapter 15: The advancing man
Chapter 16 – Same caution and concluding observations
Chapter 17 – Summary of the Science of Getting Rich

This book can be described easily as:
Use your power of thought to think the ways you can make more money with knowledge that you already possess; but don’t stop with just thinking and planning, you need to take the action, because you’ll achieve nothing if you don’t work on getting your plans and thoughts into reality.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Cases For the Justifiable Pursuit of Wealth
Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2012
Verified Purchase
There are many people with highly religious backgrounds who have a strong hangup over the gaining of wealth. It seems money and wealth is such an evil, such a thorny and precarious path toward ones spiritual progress, that we dare not pursue it lest it "become our God" and we be damned to hell. In the battle that we must overcome with such thinking, I've rarely found a more concise and reasonable, even scripturally sound piece making the case for the Godly pursuit of wealth than that described here by Wattles a hundred years ago.

Whether you're one who is religious in background, or not, and whether you have agonizing inner conflicts dealing with your "justification" of wealth, this book will be manna from heaven for your mind and heart in resolving your turmoil regarding that God-given inner drive to expand and become more---even more "rich."

The globalists and elitists in this world bankroll and finance wicked and murderous regimes and ideologies, such as Marxism, all for a nefarious purpose. (Buy and read the must have "The Creature From Jekyll Island" by G. Edward Griffin with it's mammoth bibliography and explicit research to document for your the banker backed Bolsheviks etc.) These elitists are monopolists, they thrive and see everything in a "competitive" mode. They are selfish, and though fulfill a function, they will pass away as this grand creation called earth is "going to God" rather than "going to the devil" as Wattles puts it. Wealth is abundant. It is unlimited in supply, and there are not finite resources, but rather infinite resources for humanity to prosper.

The elitists bankrolled vast propaganda, including the "Population bomb" and myth of population explosion. They breed mass hysteria about "scarcity" and limited ability of the earth to support humanity. They are eugenicists who long to see humanity eliminated down in numbers. Their writings, as documented in such films as Alex Jones' "End Game" which is available for free viewing on-line, are full of this. Wallace Waddles blows into the weeds all corrupt sophistry that would convince people that humanity is threatened with overpopulation, and that the earth is teetering on scarcity and "un-sustainability."

On a religious note, one theologian said in the 1970's, and I agree with him:

"With the help and blessings of the Lord, the free people of the United States and the free world can and will face tomorrow without fear, without doubt, and with full confidence. We do not fear the phony population explosion, nor do we fear a shortage of food, if we can be free and good. The Lord has declared, `... the earth is full, and there is enough and to spare. ...' "

Waddles agrees, stating every family on earth could have built a palace the size of the capitol in Washington DC., and clothed with the finest clothing created from just the resources of the United States alone. I agree, and I find God is the author of such abundance and productivity if we would only believe it and ignore the "haters" as one lecturer refers to these "elitists" who hate witnessing their fellow man live in abundance and wealth.

Waddles appears to be tied into quantum physics well before the term even existed. I am stunned as he describes the "thinking" substance of which all things are made. We humans, by power of thought, can have and assert energy, whether good or evil, upon his basic "intelligence" or substance of which all things are made.

In short, Wattles gives a message that is the antithesis to the message given out by the Statists, the big bankers of our day and time, the "monopolists" and "money barons." The unlimited creation of wealth for our personal advancement in developing who we are is possible if we will bring forth the faith to do it. God creates worlds with faith by merely speaking his word, and the elements, or the "thinking substance" obeys his command. "Ye are gods" is a scriptural phrase, and we are like God in our capacity to think and learn to use this tremendous power of thought, to create and influence the very "thinking substance of matter" as God does. There is indeed a whole science to it, and physicists are coming up with profound discoveries that begin to have the reader take serious the depth and scope delivered to us a hundred years ago by Wattles.

Become everything you can become. Glorify and thank God for it. Become magnificent. Become Rich. Advance in all areas of culture, health, learning, the arts and sciences. Let the creation of wealth move through you. Uplift yourself and surroundings, not in a "competitive" economic outlook, but in a "creative" one that neither steals nor plunders another for limited resources===for unlimited is the supply of abundance that we are to bring forth by this Godly power to create.

Those with hangups toward obtaining wealth have found a great text to alter their mind and belief systems, and one which I find is no contradiction in scripture, but rather I feel the opposite.

If you want to understand the cause behind the effect of wealth, read this book. Simple and direct truths in every chapter. 3 keys lessons I learned reading this book is:
1.You need to think and act a certain way to get rich;
2.Everything you do, do it with a feeling of success and growth;
3.You must give every person more in use value than they give you in cash value.

This old gem that comes from the "pioneering age" of manifestation is one of a few books that i really need, and i wanted this in a physical book form as i like to make notes and highlight certain words and passages. Its a small format and under 100 pages so its a perfect travel partner. This book is not the book to give me the whole picture as there a few other books that say sort of the same thing but together they form a solid base for me and lay the groundwork on how to start making a conscious shift in my thinking and it challenges me. I like this book cover a lot as its a retro color with an elegant font and a calming overall feel about it. I very much recommend this book to everyone that are interested in how people lived before and how they saw the world and if you are interested in spirituality and manifestation. Many of these manifestation videos you see on Instagram have the same thoughts and tips as these old books. They all want to help by giving us a blueprint on HOW we can get all that we want, and what many of us wants i believe is to be "rich" in order to live a better, healthier and happier life. I for one take all the advice i can get...
