The 100-year-old book that inspired Rhonda Byrne's bestselling "The Secret" Live your dream Acquire wealth Learn a proven method for success Access your inner strength Realize your potential
Rediscover the original version of Wallace D. Wattles's 1910 classic, "The Science of Getting Rich"--the forerunner of every personal finance and self-help book ever written. Explore the principles that have shown generations of readers the way to riches and fulfillment in life.
"The book, as it turns out, is about getting rich - not only in terms of money but in every possible way, including relationships and health. As I read, it became clear to me that what Wattles was presenting was actually the science of life. He wrote "The Science of Getting Rich" in 1910 for the coal miners in his area, so the book is quite short and the language is simple. He doesn't get into philosophies or theories. He doesn't explain why or how it works. He just says, 'Do what I say and your life will completely change.'"
--Rhonda Byrne, executive producer of "The Secret," as quoted in "You've Got To Read This Book "
