The Science of Getting Rich is based upon what the author Wallace D. Wattles called “the Certain Way of Thinking.”
Think and Act in a Certain Way – and Wealth Becomes Inevitable
Wallace D. Wattles (1860–1911) was a quiet but revolutionary New Thought author who studied the great philosophers and then tested every principle on himself until he discovered what actually worked. His 1910 classic The Science of Getting Rich became the foundation for many modern success teachings, including The Secret.
In this short, powerful book, Wattles reveals that getting rich is not a matter of luck, competition, or endless struggle — it is an exact science. When you form a clear mental image of the abundant life you desire, impress it upon the formless substance of the universe with gratitude and purpose, and then act in the “Certain Way,” money and opportunity flow to you naturally.
This book shows you how to stop competing for scraps and start creating value that increases life for everyone around you — the true foundation of both wealth and a life of purpose.
Pair it with The Cheat-Code Way To Riches to turn Wattles’ timeless mental laws into daily systems that deliver real financial results while keeping you aligned with your deepest why.
“It is a natural law that like causes always produce like effects. Therefore, any man or woman who learns to do things in this certain way will infallibly get rich.” – The Science of Getting Rich, Chapter 2

This book really challenged how I think about money. It’s not about working harder, but thinking differently and acting with intention. Simple concepts, but powerful if you actually apply them.

I finished this in a day, but I’ve been applying it for weeks. The idea of creating instead of competing really stood out to me. It gave me a completely new approach to business and income.
