Self-help Personal development Economic philosophy Wealth creation Personal success Law of Attraction Positive thinking
The Science of Getting Rich is a book written by Wallace D. Wattles and first published in 1910.
The book explains how to deal with all kinds of mental, social or health conditions to, through creation and not competition, achieve and attract wealth, based on what the author called "the correct way of thinking." This way of thinking seeks to achieve a state of positivity and self-affirmation that attracts wealth.
Wallace Wattles added the word science to the book's title to reflect his New Thought membership.
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 philosophize 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.

A brisk manual about creating value before chasing outcomes. Wattles writes like a coach: think clearly, act generously, and ship useful work daily. Over a century old, it reads like lean entrepreneurship without the buzzwords—and insists wealth can be ethical and expansive.
Perfect for founders and freelancers. The emphasis on focused thought plus decisive action suits the creator economy: clarify demand, build concretely, avoid envy, and keep agreements. Read it as mindset plus operating system, not a lottery ticket—and pair with real metrics.
