The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattles, a classic from 1910, argues that getting rich is a science, a matter of understanding and applying certain universal laws. Wattles asserts that we all have the potential to become rich and that the key lies in adopting a creative mindset. He stresses the importance of forming a clear vision of what we want, holding onto it with unwavering faith, and acting in a way that aligns with this vision. This involves working diligently and efficiently, giving more in-use value than we take in cash value, and radiating the impression of increase to others. Wattles also cautions against seeking power over others, emphasizing the importance of a harmonious and cooperative approach. The book is a practical guide that aims to equip individuals with the knowledge and tools to achieve financial abundance.

The Science of Getting Rich and The Secret share a core concept: the power of thought to shape reality. Wattles' book, published in 1910, predates The Secret and is even cited as inspiration for the film. Both works emphasize the importance of belief, visualization, and gratitude in achieving success and attracting what one desires.
