Get Rich

Wallace Wattles wrote a book called The Science of Getting Rich. He said that getting rich was mathematically certain if you have faith in his “Science of getting rich,” which is in fact primarily metaphysical, despite his assertions that it is pragmatic and not philosophical, highlighting the difference between science and faith. Is belief scientific? Can it be measured objectively? Is metaphysical science an oxymoron?

He supports his ideas with indisputable logic. I like the way he thinks, but is it truly logic? Rather that expressing his thoughts in overly emphatic language, a few more examples that do not involve farming might be helpful. He gives the instructions with which to proceed to accomplish and attain all that you desire. He argues that desire is normal, natural and correct. That all life seeks abundance.

The thing I liked most about Wattles is this, that he advocates using hypnosis! Not in so many words, but he says repeated suggestions can assist the subconscious to accept beliefs that success is possible and inevitable. He believes the subconscious mind is the most significant power behind motivation.
