Would you like to be rich? Yes? Well, who wouldn't.

The Science of Getting Rich is a book written by the New Thought Movement writer Wallace D. Wattles. The book is still in print after almost 100 years. According to USA Today, the text is "divided into 17 short, straight-to-the-point chapters that explain how to overcome mental barriers, and how creation, not competition, is the hidden key to wealth attraction."

Best Ever


(5 stars)

This book is my testimony that indeed anyone can become rich. Interestingly in chapter 4 of this book, the author said if anyone put into practice the writings of the book will definitely get rich. I am a proof that the writings in this book are true. Since I have the hack, I'll expand my thinking about riches and wealth. Thanks

The science of getting rich


(5 stars)

This was an awesome and informative read, makes you think about how much getting rich is for everyone and not what you have been taught


(5 stars)

This is way more than the science of getting rich. I'm probably on the 14th time listening to this book. It's about a way to think and has helped me tremendously with overthinking and negative thoughts. Highly recommended.


(5 stars)

I’ll be honest, when I first started this book, it felt a little slow, almost boring, and I was tempted to put it down. But I’m so glad I didn’t. A few chapters in, everything shifted. The content opened up in a powerful way, and I found myself completely drawn in. This book is incredible. It’s simple yet deeply profound. Wattles blends faith, visualization, and manifestation in a way that makes you rethink the way you see abundance and your ability to create it. What starts off as a quiet introduction quickly turns into a transformational message about the mindset, the belief system, and the spiritual alignment behind wealth. There is so much to take from it practical wisdom, spiritual insight, and timeless principles that are still incredibly relevant today. It’s one of those books that stays with you long after you close it, nudging you to think differently about your thoughts, your purpose, and the creative power within you. If you’re looking for a book that connects faith and mindset, this is it

Life-Changing Simplicity


(5 stars)

A short, clear, and practical guide that explains the mindset behind wealth in simple terms. No fluff, just actionable ideas that truly shift how you approach success. Perfect for anyone who wants real results without overcomplication.

Where's the readnot too long quite good


(3 stars)

The book tells you too not focus on losing only on winning and creating strategies to win when other people struggle to get financing. For example, you just make a better path where your deal is good enough. And .don't try to solve poverty in the traditional ways just solve your own poverty, and then help other people, poor people become rich. And it says that many dismiss rich wealth as unnecessary and unwanted, but it's not. True reality, the reality is, people want to be rich and it's good to be rich and the\n Reader could practice some more English, but otherwise quite bearable and good.

Unscientific prosperity gospel


(1 star)

Compliments to the voice reading the entire book. But its content is wishful thinking. Wattles simply believes that if you visualize wealth you will receive it from some original matter which is actually something spiritual. He combines thoughts from Hinduism and Christianity with evolution and calls his own thoughts mathematic. In chapter 12 he starts categorizing people into readers that agree with him and people who are 'deadweight'. This is pure social darwinism. An almost intellectual way of thinking like the nazis although Wattles could not have known at the time. Still: the basic beliefs are quite identical.

Good concepts, bad explanations, very christian


(2 stars)

Very old-fashioned typical super christian book which advices not to read from other authors in order not to figure out the discrepancies it has. The concepts are great, but the explanation and examples, with references to Jesus, sometimes make no sense. The narrator did a great job, though, I think.
