The Science of Getting Rich is a book written by Wallace D. Wattles; it was published in 1910. Wattles, who had formerly been a Methodist, was at the time of writing this book a Christian Socialist.[1][2]
The book's title, which includes the word science, reflects Wattles' secular approach to the New Thought movement; it is a book about business prosperity, mind raining, and success in the material world. The contents reflect ideas also popular in the early 20th century New Thoguht writings of Thomas Troward and Charles F. Haanel, as well as Elizabeth Towne, who published other books and magazine articles by Wattles. [3] It is a companion volume to the autor's less-well-known book on health from a New Thought perspective, The Science of Being Well[4] and his personal self-help book How to Be a Genius: Or the Science of Being Great.
The Science of Getting Rich preceded the better known book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill; both titles have gone through many editions, and remain in print after nearly 100 years. The Science of Getting Rich was credited by Rhonda Byrne as one of the indpirations for her popular 2006 film The Secret. [5][6]
