Book Review: The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles
The Science of Getting Rich is a self-help book written by Wallace D. Wattles and published in 1910. The book is based on the premise that there is a universal law of abundance that can be used to achieve wealth and success. Wattles argues that by following certain principles, anyone can achieve their financial goals.
One of the key principles in The Science of Getting Rich is the power of thought. Wattles believes that our thoughts create our reality, and that by focusing on what we want, we can attract it into our lives. He also teaches that it is important to have a clear vision of what we desire, and to be persistent in pursuing our goals.
Another important principle in the book is the idea of giving and receiving. Wattles believes that we must give value to others in order to receive value in return. He also teaches that we should be grateful for what we have, and that this attitude will help us to attract more abundance into our lives.
The Science of Getting Rich is a short book, but it is packed with powerful ideas. Wattles’ writing is clear and concise, and he does a good job of explaining his concepts in a way that is easy to understand.
Overall, I would recommend The Science of Getting Rich to anyone who is interested in learning how to achieve financial success. It is a classic self-help book that has helped millions of people to achieve their financial goals.
However, it is important to note that the book is not without its critics. Some people argue that Wattles’ ideas are simplistic and unrealistic. Others argue that the book promotes a materialistic worldview.
Despite these criticisms, The Science of Getting Rich remains a popular book today. It is a classic self-help book that has helped millions of people to achieve their financial goals.
Worth reading, but keep a critical mind and don’t take everything Wattles says at face value.
