    <![CDATA[The step-by-step scientific approach to attracting financial and spiritual wealth<br/><br/>&#8226;  This is the 100-year-old book that inspired Rhonda Byrne's bestselling <em>The Secret</em><br/><br/>&#8226;  Explains the precise series of practical steps that, if followed, guarantee prosperity<br/><br/>&#8226;  Reveals the secrets that underlie today&#8217;s success and prosperity movements<br/><br/>In his bestselling book, Wallace D. Wattles explains that &#8220;universal mind&#8221; underlies and permeates all creation. Through the process of visualization we can engage the law of attraction--impressing our thoughts upon &#8220;formless substance&#8221; and bringing the desired object or circumstances into material form. The author emphasizes the critical importance of attitude: only by aligning ourselves with the positive forces of natural law can we gain unlimited access to the creative mind and its abundant rewards.<br/><br/><em>The Science of Getting Rich</em> holds the secret to how economic and emotional security can be achieved in a practical, imaginative, and noncompetitive way, while maintaining a loving and harmonious relationship with all of life. By living in accordance with the positive principles outlined in this book, we can find our rightful place in the cosmic scheme and create for ourselves an environment in which to grow in wealth, wisdom, and happiness.<br/><br/>Rhonda Byrne, in her book and DVD, <em>The Secret</em>, tells how a 100-year-old book entered her life and changed it forever. Here is that book. Written in 1910, <em>The Science of Getting Rich</em> inspired Byrne to create her bestselling DVD, and subsequently, to write her book. She has said that it &#8220;gave me a glimpse of <em>The Secret</em>. It was like a flame inside of my heart. And with every day since, it's just become a raging fire of wanting to share all of this with the world.&#8221;<br/><br/>&#8220;There is a science of getting rich. It is an exact science, like algebra or arithmetic. There are certain laws which govern the process of acquiring riches. Once a person learns and obeys these laws, he will get rich with mathematical certainty.&#8221; <br/>--Wallace D. Wattles, <em>The Science of Getting Rich</em><br/><br/>]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>As featured in the bestselling book <em>The Secret</em>, here is the landmark guide to wealth creation republished with the classic essay &quot;How to Get What You Want.&quot;</strong>  <p>Wallace D. Wattles spent a lifetime considering the laws of success as he found them in the work of the world's great philosophers. He then turned his life effort into this simple, slender book - a volume that he vowed could replace libraries of philosophy, spirituality, and self-help for the purpose of attaining one definite goal: a life of prosperity.  <p>Wattles describes a definite science of wealth attraction, built on the foundation of one commanding idea: &quot;There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made...A thought, in this substance, produces the thing that is imaged by the thought.&quot;   <p>In his seventeen short, straight-to-the-point chapters, Wattles shows how to <strong>use</strong> this idea, how to <strong>overcome</strong> barriers to its application, and how work with very direct <strong>methods</strong> that awaken it in your life. He further explains how <strong>creation and not competition</strong> is the hidden key to wealth attraction, and how your power to get rich uplifts everyone around you.    <p><em>The Science of Getting Rich</em> concludes with Wattle's rare essay &quot;How to Get Want You Want&quot; - a brilliant refresher of his laws of wealth creation.</p></p></p></p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This is an AWESOME book and very motivating also. The only reason that I gave it four stars is because it is a little bit antiquated (it was written 100 years ago) and he gets kind of redundant sometimes.

    <![CDATA[<strong>As featured in the bestselling book <em>The Secret</em>, here is the landmark guide to wealth creation republished with the classic essay &quot;How to Get What You Want.&quot;</strong>  <p>Wallace D. Wattles spent a lifetime considering the laws of success as he found them in the work of the world's great philosophers. He then turned his life effort into this simple, slender book - a volume that he vowed could replace libraries of philosophy, spirituality, and self-help for the purpose of attaining one definite goal: a life of prosperity.  <p>Wattles describes a definite science of wealth attraction, built on the foundation of one commanding idea: &quot;There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made...A thought, in this substance, produces the thing that is imaged by the thought.&quot;   <p>In his seventeen short, straight-to-the-point chapters, Wattles shows how to <strong>use</strong> this idea, how to <strong>overcome</strong> barriers to its application, and how work with very direct <strong>methods</strong> that awaken it in your life. He further explains how <strong>creation and not competition</strong> is the hidden key to wealth attraction, and how your power to get rich uplifts everyone around you.    <p><em>The Science of Getting Rich</em> concludes with Wattle's rare essay &quot;How to Get Want You Want&quot; - a brilliant refresher of his laws of wealth creation.</p></p></p></p>]]>
