Overview
First published in 1910, The Science of Getting Rich is a foundational text of the New Thought movement and a forerunner to today's personal development and law-of-attraction bestsellers. This brand-new Rupa Publications paperback brings Wallace D. Wattles' original philosophy to a new generation of readers, offering a concise, practical framework for building wealth through disciplined thought and purposeful action. It is a natural fit for self-help shelves, gifting, and anyone exploring classic wealth-mindset literature.

About the Book
The Science of Getting Rich sets out Wattles' central claim: that becoming wealthy is not a matter of luck, competition, or circumstance, but a definite, learnable process grounded in "a certain way" of thinking and acting. Across a series of short, direct chapters, Wattles argues that everyone has the innate capacity to attract prosperity by aligning their thoughts, gratitude, and daily actions with what he terms the "formless substance" from which all things are created. Rather than offering vague inspiration, the book lays out concrete instructions on cultivating a definite mental image of what you want, acting efficiently in your present business or role, and giving more in "use value" than you take in cash value. This blend of spiritual philosophy and pragmatic method is precisely why the book has endured for over a century and continues to influence modern self-help and success writing, including works that explicitly credit Wattles as an inspiration. This edition presents the complete, unabridged original text in an accessible paperback format, ideal for underlining, annotating, and returning to again and again as a working manual rather than a one-time read.

About the Author
Wallace D. Wattles (1860-1911) was an American writer associated with the New Thought movement. Largely obscure in his own lifetime, he spent years studying and testing New Thought principles before distilling them into his best-known work, The Science of Getting Rich, published in 1910. His writing has since been widely quoted and remains continuously in print within the self-help and personal development genres, having influenced numerous later authors in the field.

Why You'll Love This Classic
A short, punchy read packed with timeless principles on mindset, gratitude, and purposeful action. Perfect for readers of modern success literature who want to go back to where many of today's ideas began.
