Over fifteen years ago, while still a teenager, I decided that I wanted to be rich, healthy, and successful. Although I hadn’t a clue as to how to achieve those goals, I knew there must be a way – a system I could follow that would lead me directly to those goals.
So at the ripe old age of sixteen I started reading books, listening to audio programs, and attending seminars about wealth, health, and success. Since then I’ve read hundreds of books, listened to thousands of hours of audio programs, and attended dozens of seminars on how to get rich, how to be healthy, and how to become successful.
Some of these books, audio programs, and seminars were helpful, providing bits and pieces of the puzzle. Most proved to be absolutely worthless.
None of them provided what I was really looking for – a complete, simple, practical, easy-to-understand, step-by-step system for getting rich, being healthy, and becoming successful.
Quite frankly, after nearly twenty years of study, I had very little to show for it. I was working hard, very hard, yet struggling financially. I was grossly overweight and my health was starting to falter. And, I was anything but successful.
Strangely enough, the more books I read, the more audio programs I listened to, and the more seminars I attended, the worse my life seemed to get.
Frustrated and discouraged, I had just about given up my quest for such a system. Then one day, just a few short years ago, I found a little book published in 1910, with a title that immediately caught my attention – “The Science of Getting Rich” – by Wallace D. Wattles.
As I began to read it, that little voice inside of me said, “This is it. This is exactly what you’ve been looking for. Here is the system that you’ve been seeking.”
“Well, here’s the financial part of it anyway,” I thought to myself.
Then I came across a passage in the book where Mr. Wattles referred to “the true science of abundant life” consisting of “the science of getting rich, together with the allied sciences of being well, of being great…”
I almost couldn’t believe it. “Could it be?” I asked myself, “Could it really be that he wrote books on these subjects as well?”
Sure enough, after some research, I discovered that he also wrote “The Science of Being Well” and “The Science of Being Great”.
Although they weren’t easy to find, I managed to get copies of both and began reading them.
After I finished reading all three of these books, I knew for sure that this was what I had been searching for – a complete, simple, practical, easy-to-understand, step-by-step system for getting rich, being healthy, and becoming successful.
As I began to study and apply what Mr. Wattles wrote in these three books, my life began to change rather dramatically.
My failing business started turning around. My income increased. I was able to buy the first brand new car I’d
ever owned. I went from renting a four-room apartment in a bad neighborhood to owning a seven-room home in a nice neighborhood. My excess weight came off and my health improved dramatically.
Things in general started going my way, and they continue to do so as I continue to study and apply Mr. Wattles’ teachings.
These three books have had an absolutely profound effect on my life, as I know they will yours, and I take great pride and pleasure in sharing the first of them, “The Science of Getting Rich”, with you in this very special ecourse.

PREFACE
This book is pragmatical, not philosophical; a practical manual, not a treatise upon theories. It is intended for the men and women whose most pressing need is for money; who wish to get rich first, and philosophize afterward. It is for those who have, so far, found neither the time, the means, nor the opportunity to go deeply into the study of metaphysics, but who want results and who are willing to take the conclusions of science as a basis for action, without going into all the processes by which those conclusions were reached.It is expected that the reader will take the fundamental statements upon faith, just as he would take statements concerning a law of electrical action if they were promulgated by a Marconi or an Edison; and, taking the statements upon faith, that he will prove their truth by acting upon them without fear or hesitation. Every man or woman who does this will certainly get rich; for the science herein applied is an exact science, and failure is impossible. For the benefit, however, of those who wish to investigate philosophical theories and so secure a logical basis for faith, I will here cite certain authorities.
The monistic theory of the universe – the theory that One is All, and that All is One; that one Substance manifests itself as the seeming many elements of the material world -is of Hindu origin, and has been gradually winning its way into the thought of the western world for two hundred years. It is the foundation of all the Oriental philosophies, and of those of Descartes, Spinoza, Leibnitz, Schopenhauer, Hegel, and Emerson.
The reader who would dig to the philosophical foundations is advised to read Hegel and Emerson for himself.
In writing this book I have sacrificed all other considerations to plainness and simplicity of style, so that
all might understand. The plan of action laid down herein was deduced from the conclusions of philosophy; it has been thoroughly tested, and bears the supreme test of practical experiment; it works. If you wish to know how the conclusions were arrived at, read the writings of the authors mentioned above; and if you wish to reap the fruits of their philosophies in actual practice, read this book and do exactly as it tells you to do.
PART ONE (1) - THE RIGHT TO BE RICH
Whatever may be said in praise of poverty, the fact remains that it is not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless one is rich. No man can rise to his greatest possible height in talent or soul development unless he has plenty of money; for to unfold the soul and to develop talent he must have many things to use, and he cannot have these things unless he has money to buy them with.
A man develops in mind, soul, and body by making use of things, and society is so organized that man must have money in order to become the possessor of things; therefore, the basis of all advancement for man must be the science of getting rich.
The object of all life is development; and everything that lives has an inalienable right to all the development it is capable of attaining.
Man’s right to life means his right to have the free and unrestricted use of all the things which may be necessary to his fullest mental, spiritual, and physical unfoldment; or, in other words, his right to be rich.
In this book, I shall not speak of riches in a figurative way; to be really rich does not mean to be satisfied or contented with a little. No man ought to be satisfied with a little if he is capable of using and enjoying more. The purpose of Nature is the advancement and unfoldment of life; and every man should have all that can contribute to the power; elegance, beauty, and richness of life; to be content with less is sinful.
The man who owns all he wants for the living of all the life he is capable of living is rich; and no man who has not plenty of money can have all he wants. Life has advanced so far, and become so complex, that even the most ordinary man or woman requires a great amount of wealth in order to live in a manner that even approaches completeness. Every person naturally wants to become all that they are capable of becoming; this desire to realize innate possibilities is inherent in human nature; we cannot help wanting to be all that we can be. Success in life is becoming what you want to be; you can become what you want to be -only by making use of things, and you can have the free use of things only as you become rich enough to buy them. To understand the science of getting rich is therefore the most essential of all knowledge.
There is nothing wrong in wanting to get rich. The desire for riches is really the desire for a richer, fuller, and more abundant life; and that desire is praise worthy. The man who does not desire to live more abundantly is abnormal, and so the man who does not desire to have money enough to buy all he wants is abnormal.
There are three motives for which we live; we live for the body, we live for the mind, we live for the soul. No one of these is better or holier than the other; all are alike desirable, and no one of the three – body, mind, or soul – can live fully if either of the others is cut short of full life and expression. It is not right or noble to live only for the soul and deny mind or body; and it is wrong to live for the intellect and deny body or soul.
We are all acquainted with the loathsome consequences of living for the body and denying both mind and soul; and we see that real life means the complete expression of all that man can give forth through body, mind, and soul. Whatever he can say, no man can be really happy or satisfied unless his body is living fully in every function, and unless the same is true of his mind and his soul. Wherever there is unexpressed possibility, or function not performed, there is unsatisfied desire. Desire is possibility seeking expression, or function seeking performance.
Man cannot live fully in body without good food, comfortable clothing, and warm shelter; and without freedom from excessive toil. Rest and recreation are also necessary to his physical life.
He cannot live fully in mind without books and time to study them, without opportunity for travel and observation, or without intellectual companionship.
To live fully in mind he must have intellectual recreations, and must surround himself with all the objects of art and beauty he is capable of using and appreciating.
To live fully in soul, man must have love; and love is denied expression by poverty.
A man’s highest happiness is found in the bestowal of benefits on those he loves; love finds its most natural and spontaneous expression in giving. The man who has nothing to give cannot fill his place as a husband or father, as a citizen, or as a man. It is in the use of material things that a man finds full life for his body, develops his mind, and unfolds his soul. It is therefore of supreme importance to him that he should be rich.
It is perfectly right that you should desire to be rich; if you are a normal man or woman you cannot help doing so. It is perfectly right that you should give your best attention to the Science of Getting Rich, for it is the noblest and most necessary of all studies. If you neglect this study, you are derelict in your duty to yourself, to God and humanity; for you can render to God and humanity no greater service than to make the most of yourself.
Can You Answer These Questions on -The Right to Be Rich?
Write out the answer to each of the following questions with thoughtful consideration; as far as possible, do so without consulting the lesson above, making sure that you have the principles and practices of the science thoroughly fixed in your memory. Then reread the above lesson and rectify your answers. This practice will help you immeasurably in the recognition, realization and application of the principles of success.
1. Show that the Right to Life includes the Right to be Rich; tell why, in full.
2. Is it right to be content with honest poverty? If not, why not? How rich do you want to be?
3. Explain what a complete life is, and show how riches are essential to complete living.
4. In which department of your life – body, mind, or soul - do you feel the greatest lack? – good luck!!
