The Man Who Turned Thought Into Tangible Riches
Wallace Delois Wattles (1860 – 1911) was an American author in the New Thought movement whose ideas continue to shape how people create wealth and live with purpose more than a century later.
Though he lived a relatively quiet and somewhat obscure life, his 1910 masterpiece The Science of Getting Rich became a foundational text for modern success teachings. It was the book that directly inspired Rhonda Byrne’s The Secret after her daughter handed her a copy during a difficult time.
Wattles didn’t just theorise — he studied the works of Hegel and Emerson, tested the principles on himself and others through rigorous personal experimentation, and then shared exactly what worked. He wrote with crystal clarity: The Science of Getting Rich, The Science of Being Well, The Science of Being Great, and many articles — all designed to show ordinary people how to live extraordinarily.
His core message is simple yet revolutionary:
“Whatever may be said in praise of poverty, the fact remains that it is not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless one is rich.”
Wattles taught that getting rich is not about luck, ruthless competition, or endless hard work. It is a precise science based on thinking and acting in a “Certain Way.”
You impress a clear, definite image of the life you desire upon the formless substance of the universe through grateful, purposeful thought — then you back it with efficient, harmonious action. Wealth flows to you not by taking from others, but by creating value and increasing life all around you.
The Real Cheat Code
This is the real cheat code to creating wealth and a life of purpose:
- Think in the Certain Way → See abundance where others see lack.
- Act in the Certain Way → Do today’s work with the power of success and the purpose to get rich infused into every task.
- Live with gratitude and definite purpose → Align your daily energy with the rich, meaningful life you were born to create.
Wattles proved that when you combine focused mind power with purposeful action, you don’t just survive — you thrive financially, spiritually, and personally. You unfold your full potential. You help others by becoming a living example of what’s possible.
