The Science of Getting Rich is a book written by the New Thought Movement writer Wallace D. Wattles and published in 1910 by the Elizabeth Towne Company. The book is still in print. According to USA Today, the text is "divided into 17 short, straight-to-the-point chapters that explain how to overcome mental barriers, and how creation, rather than competition, is the hidden key to wealth attraction."[1]
The contents of the book are commonly regarded as pseudoscientific in nature rather than based on legitimate wealth creation or investment strategies. It has been described by critics as "...essentially a power of positive thinking type of book with no real proven strategies."[2]
