      The Science of Getting Rich (Condensed Classics) - Wallace D. Wattles

      INTRODUCTION

      The Ethic of Success

      Some people have deeply contradictory feelings about the idea of getting rich. They believe that getting rich sounds gauche, unspiritual, or selfish. This book by American social reformer and New Thought pioneer Wallace D. Wattles will put those mixed feelings to rest.

      Wattles, a fighter for progressive causes as well as a pioneering mind theorist, believed that the true aim of enrichment was not the mere accumulation of personal resources, but the establishment of a better world: a world of shared abundance and possibility for all people.

      His guidebook The Science of Getting Rich was obscure until about ten years ago. In 2007, word spread that The Science of Getting Rich was a source behind the mega-selling book and movie The Secret. The book began to hit bestseller lists, nearly than a century after the author’s death in 1911. I published an edition myself that reached number-one on the Businessweek bestseller list.

      But what many of Wattles’s new generation of readers missed was his dedication to the ethic of collective advancement and creativity above animal competition; his belief that competition itself was an outmoded idea, soon to be supplanted but the creative capacities found within the mind. And that once unlocked, these higher capacities would grant working men and women the keys to a life of prosperity for themselves and for all around them.

      Was his vision really so utopian? We live in an age of remarkable advances in placebo studies, extending even to placebo surgery and mentally based weightloss; new findings in the field called neuroplasticity, which show that the brain’s neural pathways are literally rewired by habits of thought; extraordinary questions posed by quantum physics experiments, which suggest causality between thought and object; and ongoing and serious experiments in ESP, which repeatedly demonstrate some kind of nonphysical conveyance of data in laboratory
