Beschreibung

The Science of Getting Rich: A Groundbreaking Guide to Abundance Through Thought, Faith, and Action Wallace Delois Wattles (1860-1911) was an American New Thought writer whose work combined spiritual insight, practical ambition, and early self-help philosophy. Born in Illinois, Wattles became involved in the Christian Socialist and New Thought movements, both of which emphasized the power of the mind to shape reality. Though his life was relatively obscure, his writings-especially The Science of Getting Rich-gained renewed popularity in the 20th and 21st centuries for their influence on personal development and prosperity thinking. Wattles' teachings have inspired countless readers and formed the philosophical foundation for later works such as The Secret. The Science of Getting Rich, first published in 1910, presents a concise and compelling method for achieving wealth through the creative power of thought and purposeful action. Rejecting both luck and cutthroat competition, Wattles argues that true riches come from aligning oneself with a universal, intelligent substance and acting in harmony with its laws. The book blends metaphysical ideas with practical advice, emphasizing gratitude, clarity of purpose, and consistent, focused work. Celebrated for its simplicity and optimism, The Science of Getting Rich remains a foundational text for readers seeking to transform their mindset and attain financial and personal success.

Autor

Wallace Delois Wattles was an American who wrote about New Thought. He lived from 1860 to 1911. He isn't very well known as a person, but his writing is still used in the New Thought and self-help groups and is still in print. Wattles's most well-known work is a book he wrote in 1910 called The Science of Getting Rich. In it, he talks about how to get rich. Florence wrote that in the three years before he died, "he made a lot of money and was healthy, except that he was very weak." Wattles died in Ruskin, Tennessee, on February 7, 1911. His body was taken home to be buried in Elwood, Indiana. As a sign of respect, all of the companies in the town closed for two hours in the afternoon of the day of his funeral. His daughter thought it was "untimely" that he died at age 51, because in the year before, he had written two books (The Science of Being Well and The Science of Getting Rich) and ran for public office.
