What is The Science of Getting Rich?

Timeless Principles from the Classic Book

Bringing children Wattles' timeless, tried & true principles on how to get the good life through creativity and kindness.

Wallace D. Wattles’ The Science of Getting Rich, published in 1910, is the unassuming ancestor of modern wealth-generation literature. Unlike its flashier descendants like Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich or Rhonda Byrne's The Secret, Wattles’ core idea is wonderfully simple: the path to wealth lies not in competing but in creating. Wealth, he argues, isn’t a zero-sum game; instead of fighting over a slice, think of baking a bigger pie by aligning your mindset with the universe’s boundless possibilities.

This philosophy, which encourages creativity over competition, feels surprisingly relevant today as we rethink success and legacy in a rapidly changing world. Wattles suggests wealth is generated, not seized, advocating a mindset shift that feels like a breath of fresh air—where wealth isn’t limited to a lucky few, but is the natural result of purpose-driven thinking. Over a century later, The Science of Getting Rich stands as a timeless guide, nudging us toward a world where thriving means lifting ourselves and others through the power of creativity.
