Like many geniuses, Wallace Delois Wattles (1860-1911) was not understood for a long time—until he achieved breakthrough success with "The Science of Getting Rich." The fact that he lived by this principle and became wealthy as a result is the best confirmation of his guiding principles. It did not go unnoticed: in 2004, Rhonda Byrne read the nearly hundred-year-old manuscript, was inspired, and drew from Wattles for her worldwide success "The Secret" and its current sequel "The Power." Wattles captivates with his archaic language and finally helps us understand the laws for a good life in prosperity. This book offers ancient knowledge that is still valid and valuable today, presented in an authentic complete translation.
