I read the little book that inspired the successful book and movie "The Secret" called "The Science of Getting Rich" by Wallace D. Wattles. It reminded me of the Universal Principles I learned decades ago. The book doesn't get into details of why the principles work. Instead, it is an application manual. How cool is that?
Besides some having slight changes of title, most, if not all of these edited and/or revised versions contain changes in the wording of the original book by Wallace D. Wattles ranging from minor to major in a so-called attempt to "modernize" and/or make it more "readable".
You can sometimes recognize these edited and/or revised versions of "The Science of Getting Rich" by a slight change in title from that of the original. Other times, you'll find someone has added his or her name as a co-author or editor of the book.
Unfortunately, there are a whole host of others out there where the title is the same as the original and there isn't a co-author's or editor's name listed, yet the text of the original book has been substantially edited and/or revised.Personally, when I want to know what a particular author has to say, I want to read his or her own words and not those of someone else. This is especially true in the case of Wallace D. Wattles' writings.
"The Science of Getting Rich" insists that opportunity is not monopolized by the elite few. Opportunity abounds at every step of life. The difference between a wealthy person and a poor person is the way they act and think. Wealthy parents teach their children the Certain Way of doing things that made and keeps them wealthy.The author claims that there is an infinite supply of wealth. He says the universe is literally made up of "Formless Stuff" he calls "Original Substance" that acts upon any thought impressed upon it to manifest in the material world. It is the nature of the universe to move toward more life.
The author encourages people to set aside the logical, rational mind and allow themselves to believe, with absolute certainty they deserve to be wealthy, have the ability to acquire wealth and the ability to control their thoughts. Everyone thinking and acting in a Certain Way will be rich.There are a handful of books that belong to the classics or Hall of Fame of self-help books. Among those classic books would be the books, "How To Win Friends and Influence People", "Think and Grow Rich", "The Greatest Salesman in the World", and this book by Wallace Wattles- "The Science of Getting Rich".
As with most books on success and wealth-building, it is not about acquiring things or money. It is about changing our insides to become the person we need to be for long-term (not short-term) wealth. It is about transforming your mind into becoming positive and wealthy so that you can acquire the wealth. Most people would think of getting wealth as from a rich relative, from the lottery, from other sources that we have no control over. Instead, true wealth can only come from those things we have control over such as our mind and body.
Trillions of cells in our bodies perform billions of functions everyday, in harmony with each other. What runs this? What kind of power is looking after this? We can't see the power behind this mind boggling capacity but does that mean there isn't a power behind this? Just because we can't physically see it does that mean it's not affecting us too ? We can't see the Law of gravity can we? Does that mean it doesn't work? Hardly. We can find it does work by taking a look at the results it has upon us. And Bob explains best how the power of our thoughts can be measured in the results in our lives.The greatest minds in Quantam Physics have come to a conclusion after decades of study of matter and physics. One has to keep in mind that these are scientists and live strictly on facts.
On proven results.With the ability of particle accelerators they have been able to divide ANYTHING on earth to the point of it being energy alone. One same energy of which everything comes from and of which everything is a part of. Including us. And this energy is affected by thought. This is proven beyond a doubt scientifically. So the thought "if we can hold it in the mind, we can hold it in the hand is scientifically proven". Through the power of thought.
There are several recent books that talks about attracting wealth. A recent popular book is "The Secret" which is a revised version of "The Science of Getting Rich". "The Secret" is a good book. It even references Wallace Wattles' book. There is no substitution for the original. The original is the concept of acquiring riches in its raw form. It is a matter of practicing the principles outlined in the book.So, if you are serious about self-improvement and becoming the best you can be (e.g. becoming wealthy), you should have this book in your library of success.
