Wallace D. Wattles most famous work is a 1912 book called The Science Of Getting Rich in which he explains how to get rich. He personally “tested” the principles he describes in his book and they worked, as although he had lived most of his life in poverty, in his later years became rich.

Little is known about Wallace Wattles’ life. He was born in the USA shortly before the civil war, and experienced much failure in his earlier years. Later in life he took to studying the various religious beliefs and philosophies of the world. It was through his tireless study and experimentation that he claimed to have discovered the truth of New Thinking principles and put them into practice in his own life. He began to write books outlining these principles.

He practiced the technique of creative visualisation and as his daughter Florence relates,

“He wrote almost constantly. It was then that he formed his mental picture. He saw himself as a successful writer, a personality of power, an advancing man, and he began to work toward the realization of this vision. He lived every page … His life was truly the powerful life.”

His book The Science Of Getting Rich has inspired the “The Secret” which has taken the World by Storm.
