Wallace Wattles And The Science Of Getting Rich

The purpose of this guide is to introduce you to the life, writings and philosophy of Wallace D. Wattles.  He is known as a pioneer success writer.  "The Science of Getting Rich" has been featured in many recent discussions and reviews of "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne.  Who is this strange looking little man?  What "secrets" did he discover and write about?  How can his writings help you change your way of thinking about wealth and prosperity? 

Who Was Wallace D. Wattles?

Wallace Wattles was born in 1860.  He spent much of his life in poverty and was plagued by financial problems.  Later in his life he began to study the various religious beliefs and philosophies of the world including those of Descartes, Spinoza, Leibnitz, Schopenhauer, Hegel, Swedenborg, Emerson, and others. It was through his tireless study that he discovered the New Thought principles and put them into practice in his own life. He began to write books using these principles.  Eventually he moved his family to the Elwood, Indiana area.  He wrote almost constantly and spoke to large groups of people.  He became well-known and achieved his dream of living a rich and prosperous life.  Wallace Wattles wrote "The Science of Getting Rich" in 1910.  He died in 1911 at the age of 51.

Why Should You Want To Get Rich?

"Whatever may be said in praise of poverty, the fact remains that it is not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless one is rich.  You cannot rise to your greatest possible height in talent or soul development unless you have plenty of money.  For to unfold your soul and develop talent you must have many things to use, and you cannot have these things unless you have money with which to buy them."

The Law of Cause And Effect

"It is a natural law that like causes always produce like effects. Therefore, any man or woman who learns to do things in this certain way will infallibly get rich."

Ask...Believe...Receive

"By thought, the thing you want is brought to you. By action, you receive it."

An Attitude Of Gratitude

"It is necessary, then to cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you; and to give thanks continuously.
And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude."

People all over the world have been influenced by the writings of Wallace D. Wattles.  His writings have had a great influence on writers like Napolean Hill, Robert Schuller, Anthony Robbins, Dr. Wayne Dyer and many more. 

The "secret" that Wallace D. Wattles wrote about is the law of attraction.  You can learn more about how to attract wealth, health and happiness into life by reading "The Science Of Getting Rich" .
