The Science of Getting Rich

Book Review

Wallace D. Wattles' book «The Science of Getting Rich» serves as a guide to achieving financial success, based on the philosophy of positive thinking and visualization. Critics note that Wattles offers readers the concept that wealth is achieved not only through hard work but also through the right mindset and belief in one's abilities. The author claims that there is a certain science, by following which one can inevitably come to wealth. Some critics believe that the book offers an overly simplified approach to a complex topic, while others note that it inspires and motivates action. Wattles emphasizes the importance of creating a mental image of the desired and believing in its attainability, which, in his opinion, is the key to success. Despite being written in the early 20th century, its ideas remain relevant today, resonating with readers striving for personal and financial growth.
