A short, practical classic about prosperity
Wallace D. Wattles published The Science of Getting Rich in 1910, and it has stayed popular because it is brief and direct. Wattles believed that anyone can improve their circumstances by following a certain way of thinking and acting: holding a clear picture of what they want, feeling genuine gratitude, and putting full effort into each day’s work rather than waiting for a better opportunity. Chapters such as “The Right to Be Rich”, “Is Opportunity Monopolized?” and “Gratitude” build the argument step by step.
