Getting Rich as a Science

With current self-improvement trends, "The Secret" and "The Law Of Attraction" getting so much hype these days, it's good to know that they have many of the same ideas as the classics written in this genre. "The Science of Getting Rich" was written almost 100 years ago by Wallace D. Wattles, but stills holds value in today's world. This book and several written within that same 20 year period hold many of the key concepts being re-emphasized today. The Science of Getting Rich could easily be applied today and still create some incredible results.

In the early 20th century, when Wattles wrote this manuscript, several other leaders of business and prosperity thought also came out with their own books on similar subjects. There is a singular theme throughout several of these books, that you must focus on your one purpose and pursue it completely until you have acheived your success. Mr. Wattles does an excellent job portraying this concept. starting with the idea of a singular Intelligent "Thinking Stuff", the author leads you through the steps of developing faith, and using this universal intelligence to move things towards you to create your riches.

If you are of the belief that wealth is a finite quantity, you should read this book and let the arguement be made to the contrary. Napolean Hill and others have also written on this idea of an unlimited wealth and a universal force of intelligence designed and working to create more always. The explanation here is a bit different, but has the same point, that you can bring into being that which you create in your mind, and constantly focus on.

Mr. Wattles goes further by giving you step by step instructions on how to change your thinking and way of doing things to begin your journey to wealth. His approach is very straightforward and does move the process of getting rich into a science of sorts. The ideas put forth by Mr. Wattles are similar to those in "Think and Grow Rich" and other contemporary books on the subject. Speakers like Tony Robbins and others also use the techniques espoused by Mr. Wattles.

To apply these teachings, it is best to read the entire book once straight through. Then you should go back through it, studying one chapter a day and to continue going through it until the principles found in it are almost second nature. When you can apply his teachings without forcing them, they will begin to work wonders in your life. The biggest thing to remember is to keep faith that what you are learning are proven techniques and merely need to be applied faithfully. You can find "The Science of Getting Rich" several places on the web as well as in many online e-courses, which will help guide you in your study.
