The Science of Getting Rich: A Modern Translation with the Complete Original 1910 Text

Product Information

Product Description

Wallace D. Wattles published The Science of Getting Rich in 1910, and its central argument has never gone out of date: wealth follows a specific way of thinking and acting, and anyone who learns that way can apply it. Not the talented few. Not people born into the right circumstances. Anyone.This edition includes two complete texts in one volume.The first half is a modern translation by Seth Loring, rendering Wattles' ideas in plain contemporary English without commentary, padding, or editorial interpretation. The logic is Wattles'. The method is Wattles'. The language is simply cleaner and more direct than the original Victorian prose, making the book easier to read and the ideas easier to apply.The second half is the complete original 1910 text, preserved exactly as Wattles wrote it — for readers who want to study the source, compare the two versions, or simply read the book as it was first published.Wattles covers the nature of wealth, the role of thought in creating it, the difference between competitive and creative action, the function of gratitude, and the discipline required to hold a clear mental image against the pull of doubt and circumstance. Seventeen chapters. Nothing wasted.If you've tried to read the original and found the language a barrier, the translation removes that barrier. If you want the original alongside it, it's there.
