*The Science of Getting Rich*, written by Wallace D. Wattles in 1910, is a foundational text in the self-help and personal finance genres. The book explores the idea that wealth is not merely the result of hard work or luck but follows a set of universal principles that anyone can apply. Wattles emphasizes the importance of creative thinking, positive mental attitude, and a focus on abundance rather than scarcity. He introduces the concept of thinking in a “certain way” that aligns one’s thoughts, actions, and beliefs with the flow of prosperity. By cultivating a mindset that focuses on the possibilities of wealth and using specific strategies to work with the natural laws of the universe, Wattles argues that anyone can achieve financial success. The book remains influential, laying the groundwork for later works in the genre, including those of Napoleon Hill and Rhonda Byrne.
