The Book Behind “The Secret”

 Most people have heard of the movie, The Secret. What a lot of people don’t know is that it was based on a book , The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles (1860 – 1911) who was an American author and a pioneer success writer.

The Science of Getting Rich was certainly his most famous book. He personally tested the principles he described and they worked, and although he had lived most of his life in poverty, in his later years he became rich. Other books by Wallace include A New Jesus (a very rare book), Health Through New Thought and Fasting, The Science of Being Great, The Science of Being Well, Making of the Man Who Can and a novel, Hellfire Harrison.

The Science of Getting Rich  is in the public domain in countries where copyright has expired on works published before 1923 and consequently we are very pleased to be able to offer it here in its entirety.
