Have you ever wondered why some people effortlessly attract wealth while others struggle despite working just as hard? Wallace D. Wattles' groundbreaking work proposes a revolutionary answer: getting rich isn't about luck or talent - it's a precise science with predictable results when followed correctly. This 1910 classic has influenced countless modern success teachings, from "The Secret" to the philosophies embraced by figures like Tony Robbins. What makes this slim volume so powerful is its unapologetic practicality. It doesn't philosophize about wealth - it provides a step-by-step methodology based on both metaphysical principles and practical action. The promise is bold yet simple: anyone who follows these instructions will get rich with mathematical certainty.
