The Science of Getting Rich is a book written by the New Thought Movement writer Wallace D. Wattles and published in 1910 by the Elizabeth Towne Company. The book is still in print. It was a major inspiration for Rhonda Byrne's bestselling book and film The Secret (2006). According to USA Today, the text is "divided into 17 short, straight-to-the-point chapters that explain how to overcome mental barriers, and how creation, not competition, is the hidden key to wealth attraction." This book is based on the Hindu philosophies that One is All, and that All is One (Page one of Preface). The Science of Getting Rich is based upon what Wattles called "the Certain Way of Thinking." According to Mitch Horowitz, the editor-in-chief of the Jeremy Tarcher imprint of Penguin Books, which reprinted The Science of Getting Rich in 2007, Wattles' "Certain Way" descended from the "mental healing movement" that had started earlier with Phineas P. Quimby in the mid-19th century. As Horowitz explained to a reporter from the Washington Post, after experiencing relief from physical symptoms of discomfort or illness through Quimby's mental strategies, people began to wonder, "If my state of mind seems to have a positive influence over how I feel physically, what other things can it do? Can it lead to prosperity? Can it lead to happiness in my home? Can it lead to finding love and romance?" One result of such questioning was Wattles's application of Quimbian "mental healing" strategies to financial as well as physiological situations. The Science of Getting Rich preceded similar financial success books such as The Master Key System by Charles F. Haanel (1912) and Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill (1937). The Science of Getting Rich was credited by Rhonda Byrne as one of the inspirations for her popular 2006 film and 2007 book The Secret. As Byrne explained it on the web site of Oprah Winfrey, "Something inside of me had me turn the pages one by one, and I can still remember my tears hitting the pages as I was reading it. [...] It gave me a glimpse of The Secret. It was like a flame inside of my heart. And with every day since, it's just become a raging fire of wanting to share all of this with the world."

The Science of Getting Rich is a book written by the New Thought Movement writer Wallace D. Wattles. The book is still in print after almost 100 years.

"The Formula for Getting Rich..." People don't get rich by accident. There is a science of getting rich, and it is an exact science, like algebra or arithmetic. There are certain laws which allow (or prevent) the accumulation of wealth. Once you know how to use these laws, you will get rich with mathematical certainty. Yes, you can learn how to get rich. In this book, you'll discover... • The exact, step-by-step formula you can use to attract money and wealth • The secret known by elite, very wealthy people, which leads to... "mega-wealth!" • A scientifically-proven, extremely-powerful "money mindset" which sends your ability to manifest wealth into white-hot overdrive! • The single most important thing you can do to attract big money! • What rich people know about money. This book was the inspiration for the worldwide best-seller, The Secret, and contains everything you need to know about attracting money into your life.

This book is pragmatical, not philosophical; a practical manual, not a treatise upon theories. It is intended for the men and women whose most pressing need is for money; who wish to get rich first, and philosophise afterward. It is for those who have, so far, found neither the time, the means, nor the opportunity to go deeply into the study of metaphysics, but who want results and who are willing to take the conclusions of science as a basis for action, without going into all the processes by which those conclusions were reached.

In order to get what you want, you must act; and in order to act, you must apply force. And it is a self-evident proposition that the force to be applied is one within yourself... whether you seek health, wealth, development, position or happiness, you must apply your own inward force... you cannot get it in any other way. ~ Walter D. Wattles. Why do some people seem to be born winners while others, in the same circumstances, struggle and fail? It really isn't a mystery. They have learned how to use the special power within themselves to get what they want... and you can too! It s already yours. The question is... how have you been using it? Used constructively, it will bring you everything you want health, wealth, success, happiness, and loving relationships. Used negatively, it'll bring poor health, financial hardship, failure, unhappiness, and broken relationships. It's the same power... it just depends on how you use it!
