PART 5 REVIEW of The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D Wattles

Welcome back to PART 5 of our review of Wallace D. Wattles, The Science of Getting Rich. In this classic book on thinking, this book describes how each of us shapes the events around us, creating much of the positive riches in our own lives.

Rhonda Byrne, creator of the movie The Secret[i], said she stumbled across The Science of Getting Rich and has "never been the same." This was one of the first seminars I sold when I worked with Bob Proctor back in the late 1990s, and he mentioned to me in our interview on EP 66[ii] that his business took off after Rhonda Byrne’s The Secret took off. There is true magic within the words written within these pages, and like all of the books we dive deep into, it’s the application of what we read here that has the potential to change our life forever.

It took me some time to review this book, honestly, because many of the concepts I didn’t fully understand myself. It’s taken me over 25 years to finally grasp the meaning behind the timeless concepts that Wattles wrote about in 1910, and writing this series has helped me to refine my own thinking, in addition to sharing what I’m learning here with you, wherever you might be listening in the world.

If you enjoyed our Deep Dive into Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich[iii] book, or the 4 Part Series of The Silva Method,[iv] the concepts we will cover in this review go hand in hand with those Deep Dives.

I read this review about this book and it caught my eye.

No student of thought should be without this historic book. Think about this for a minute. Read this book and do it exactly as written and you will see HOW failure is impossible.

This is the PERFECT book and series to launch 2024 with.

On today's episode #319 we will cover:

✔ CHAPTER 1: THE RIGHT TO BE RICH

“There is nothing wrong with wanting more in life. No man is to be happy with little.” (Ch 1, SGR, Wattles)

✔ CHAPTER 2 THERE IS A SCIENCE OF GETTING RICH

With some thoughts on what the title of this book makes you think about.

✔ CHAPTER 3 IS OPPORTUNITY MONOPOLIZED?

What is it that YOU really want? Do you think you can achieve it?

✔ CHAPTER 4: THE FIRST PRINCIPLE OF THE SCIENCE OF GETTING RICH

We covered this chapter on EP 315 in PART 2[v] of this REVIEW where I challenged everyone to read chapters 4/14/7 for 90 days. Keep reading.

✔ CHAPTER 5: INCREASING LIFE

Why must we develop our Mind, Body and Spirit?

Welcome back to SEASON 11 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning (that’s finally being taught in our schools) and emotional intelligence training (used in our modern workplaces) for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren’t taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I’m Andrea Samadi, an author, and an educator with a passion for learning and launched this podcast 5 years ago with the goal of bringing ALL the leading experts together (in one place) to uncover the most current research that would back up how our brain learns best.

At the end of each year, we review timeless and important books that were recommended to me when I worked in the motivational speaking industry in the late 1990s, and my goal is to see how science can inform us as we move towards our goals in 2024, (whether it with the interviews we will host) or by diving into what I saw working over and over again in the speaking industry, so we can all be the most improved, 2.0 version of ourselves.

This year, we are reviewing Wallace D. Wattles The Science of Getting Rich book that was written in 1910. I’ve set the stage for the application of this book by asking us to begin or end our study by reading chapters 4/14/7 in this order for 90 days. The order is important. This is where our review began. If you can do this one activity, I promise you that the magical words that Wattles wrote on the pages of this book, will begin to have significant meaning to you.

In PART 1[vi] we saw the importance of opening up our minds to prosperity thinking, (that there is more than enough for all of us vs poverty consciousness that there is not enough) and PART 2[vii] we focused on the power of our thoughts, specifically with how to “think and act in this certain way” to achieve the results we are talking about here. We gave examples of two distinct types of thinkers, encouraging all of us to open the keyhole in the door (or kick down the door) and expand of level of awareness in this process. With PART 3[viii] of our review, we explored Chapter 14, on The Impression of Increase, with two suggestions for Acting in this Certain Way with everyone we interact with. Look to where you can give others genuine compliments, pointing out their accomplishments and efforts, and always look for where you can assist others with your resources. Then on PART 4, we covered Chapter 7 on Gratitude that connected us directly with our source of supply.

Let’s now dive into the rest of the chapters of this timeless book, keeping in mind where the heart of this book exists. We must understand the syllabus. I’ll read it here, and again at the end, and my hope is that the secret that Wattles intends us to “see” will reveal itself to you, and like Rhonda Byrnes, who read this book, and was never the same, I hope that something new is revealed to you, changing your thinking in some way, and helping you to see if you can do things in this Certain Way, that failure is impossible.

Remember: Getting Rich is the result of doing things in a certain way. We help ourselves first, then we look for ways to help others do the same.

Before we begin, do you have questions about this syllabus like I did when I first read this book? Here’s mine:

Q1: What is this thinking stuff from which all things are made that fills the inter spaces of the universe? Wattles says, it’s everywhere, but what is it?

My Answer: It is formless, supremely intelligent and permeates everything around us—including organic and inorganic things and the spaces between them. Wattles uses many terms interchangeably to describe this substance. After reading and studying this book for over 2 decades, I came to see this “thinking stuff” as my Source, which I call God. You might call it something else, but naming it while reading this book can help to see its power and why “a thought in this substance produces the thing that is imaged by the thought.” This essentially is what prayer is. “A person can form things in their thoughts (or like through prayer) and by impressing their thoughts upon the formless substance (your source of Supply or God), can cause the thing they think about to be created.” When you break this syllabus down a bit, it doesn’t seem so “far out there.”

I am certain that Wattles is describing the power of prayer.

To put the syllabus into practice, think about where you feel the most connected to this source. It is everywhere, but some of us might feel this connection in nature, like I’ve described while hiking in the mountains, near water (or the Ocean) like scientist and activist Dr. Wallace J Nichols talked about on EP 297[ix] this past summer. Wherever you feel the most connected, just trust that there is something bigger than you, that will help you to produce whatever it is that you “image” in your thoughts.

Let’s look at the remaining chapters of the book.

CHAPTER 1 THE RIGHT TO BE RICH

Wattles says that “No man can rise to his greatest possible height in talent or soul development (our fullest) potential without money.”

In the pages of my notebook, I wrote “thought always proceeds the action” or “what’s coming, we think about.”

I don’t need to look far to say this isn’t so, as we witness this with our two girls and competitive gymnastics. As with any sport or skill, it takes money to learn these skills, and it was a good year that our oldest daughter would ask to join the competitive team at her gym before we agreed to it. Later, she let me know that she used to watch YouTube videos of gymnasts training, and she knew this is what she wanted to do with all of her heart. There was much thought in her mind that happened a good year BEFORE she even tried out to be a part of this team.

The same goes with the material you are studying now. I watched people pay thousands of dollars to attend each seminar to learn this information from the best teachers in the world. Many who wanted to attend, couldn’t not pay the tuition. You can always read this book on your own, or watch videos to learn new skills, but to immerse yourself with the best teachers in the world, the easiest way is to pay for an exchange of their knowledge for your money.

“To unfold the soul and develop talent” we cannot do these things unless you have the money to pay for them.

Which leads me back to why I’m giving away everything I’ve learned over the years, for FREE, on this podcast. I know this is what I am meant to do. I was fortunate enough to learn directly from some of the best teachers in the world, and now, I am meant to give back in this way. For now, this podcast remains ad free for this reason. It has always been important to me that I put the best work I’ve got, out to the world, for free, because of the principles within the pages of this book. What I want for myself, I want for others.

When you find your place, you will know where you have room to give back. I do think that Wattles intends us to all get to this place where we shift our thinking from “what can I get” to “how can I help others” with my talents and abilities.

Part 1 of this series we spent on prosperity consciousness vs poverty for this reason. If you’re listening and are struggling with this concept, go back and listen to Part 1 where we dove into two ways of thinking about money.

This is an important lesson because we will need it to “reach our fullest mental, spiritual and physical unfoldment.” (Ch 1, SGR, Wattles).

“Success in life is becoming what you want to be” (Ch 1, SGR, Wattles) so for my daughter who begged us to join competitive gymnastics, it was her desire seeking expression with and through her, (to do this sport) but it takes money to do this.

I think back to my early days, when I wanted to become a teacher it took money to pay for my teacher training. If you want to learn business strategies, same idea. Whatever we want, it begins with a desire in our thoughts, and what’s coming our way, we will think about, usually long before we take action towards it.

What about you? Whenever we have wanted to learn, grow and advance ourselves in our lives and careers, it takes money to do this.

Remember: “There is nothing wrong with wanting more in life. No man is to be happy with little.” (Ch 1, SGR, Wattles).

What do you think when you hear this? Do you agree with Wattles? Over the years I became more comfortable with “wanting more in life” and when I was living my most lean years, I made sure to spend my leisure time in places that made me “feel” the abundance that Wattles was describing when he said “there is nothing wrong with wanting.” I often sat writing in the lobby of the most beautiful resorts I could find to keep my thinking away from poverty and more towards prosperity thinking.

Wattles writes that “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 the money to buy them with.” (Ch 1, SGR, Wattles).

Like my daughter’s gymnastics training, or what we must do to pay for new skills we want to acquire.

Wattles writes that “Man’s right to life means his right to have free and unrestricted use of the things which may be necessary to his fullest mental, spiritual and physical unfoldment.” (Ch 1, SGR, Wattles).

“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 soul.” (Ch 1, SGR, Wattles).

Be sure to develop all three parts of us (our body, mind and soul).

“Wherever there is unexpressed possibility, or function not performed, there is unsatisfied desire. Desire is possibility seeking expression, or function seeking performance.” (Ch 1, SGR, Wattles).

Think about this for a minute. What is it in you that is “unexpressed possibility” that you could nurture and grow in 2024? For me, it’s clear and obvious. If I was unable to research, read books, and then work on integrating this new information in my life, and then share what I’m learning with you, I would not be truly happy. Hosting this podcast (is my desire seeking expression) is driven by an unrelentless desire for me to keep researching, learning, and sharing anything that can help us to all improve our productivity and results.

What about you? What is it that you must do? What is your desire that is “possibility seeking expression” in you? This is a good thing to know for ourselves, and then look at see if you can notice it in others.

Before moving to chapter 2, I think we have given some good examples as to why there is nothing wrong with wanting to have enough money to develop our body, mind and soul, to nurture our “desires” or our “possibility seeking expression” or “function seeking performance” so we can be truly happy ourselves, before we begin to think of how we can extend our hand outwards, to help others.

CHAPTER 2 THERE IS A SCIENCE OF GETTING RICH

Before we go any further, I wonder, what comes up for you when you saw the title of this book?

Do you think of the TV show Lifestyles of the Rich and the famous, like me?

The title of this book is one of the reasons I didn’t want to cover it on this podcast in the first place. While I see the importance of earning money, I’m not one to want to “be rich” and when multi-million-dollar yachts sail past me, they don’t catch my eye. I’ve never been drawn to anything excessive so covering a book about “getting rich” was not on the top of my list.

I can recognize others like me while I’m interviewing them. The inventor of GDV technology, Dr. Konstantin Korotkov, from EP 307[x] mentioned that while he enjoys inventing, he’s not as good with the business side of things. He writes in his books that when he went on some of his exciting trips around the world, he just took his sandals, and a hat to keep the sun off his face.

So, if you are like me, not very interested in “Getting Rich” and the title of this book deterred you a bit, just see if there is something we can learn together. It’s here my mentor, Bob Proctor, would send me back to PART 1[xi] of this series, and work on my prosperity thinking. He would remind me that “nobody can have all he wants without plenty of money.” (Chapter 1, SGR, Wattles).

And I would come back to Chapter 2 with an expanded and open mind. This Certain Way has to do with Prosperity Thinking vs Poverty.

REMEMBER: “There is a Science of getting rich, and it is an exact science, like algebra or arithmetic.” (Chapter 2, SGR, Wattles) and we have discovered that it’s about thinking and acting in a certain way.

“There are certain laws which govern the process of acquiring riches and when these laws are learned and obeyed by any man, he will get rich with mathematical certainty.” (Ch 2, SGR, Wattles). If you were to study this book through Bob Proctor’s Seminars, it’s here that he would cover the 7 Laws of the Universe, where he would say that doing things in this “certain way” would be according to these Natural Laws that Wattles mentions in Chapter 2.

We were not taught these laws in school, and I’m not going to cover them here, but I will say that “it doesn’t matter WHAT we’re doing, it matters HOW we are doing it.” We will cover “this certain way” in this book study, so at the end of these chapters, we will have a clear strategy on HOW to THINK AND ACT in this certain way, that Wattles describes and “those who do things in this Certain Way, whether on purpose or accidentally, get rich; while those who do not do things in this Certain Way, no matter how hard they work or how able they are, remain poor.”

And “nobody can have all he wants without plenty of money.” (Chapter 1, SGR, Wattles).

Here’s An Example:

Have you ever seen two businesses on the same side of the road, and one is thriving while the other is not? Wattles addresses this when he says that Getting Rich is “not a matter of environment” (Ch 2, SGR, Wattles) even though “some environments may be more favorable than others” but the success one person experiences is a result of “Doing Things in This Certain Way.”

Wattles also says that “the ability to do things in this certain way is not due solely to the possession of talent, for many people who have great talent, remain poor, while others who have very little talent get rich.” He says that “if you study people who have gotten rich, we find they are an average lot in all respects, having no greater talents and abilities than other men.” (Ch 2, SGR, Wattles). They got rich by “Doing Things in This Certain Way.”

We covered this concept in PART 1[xii] of this review, as “Doing Things in This Certain Way” begins with prosperity thinking versus poverty mindset.

Let’s keep going and see what else we can add to open up our understanding in this timeless book and of Doing Things in This Certain Way that Wattles describes.

CHAPTER 3 IS OPPORTUNITY MONOPOLIZED?

Chapter 3 is a good chapter for anyone who is worried that an opportunity that they really want, will pass them by.

Wattles explains that “No man is kept poor because opportunity has been taken away from him; because other people have monopolized the wealth, and have put a fence around it.” (Ch 3, SGR, Wattles).

This is where the “thinking stuff” comes into play. It matters what thoughts we think, and put out into the world.

When we think “oh, there’s no way I will ever do xyz” then that’s the message you’ve sent out to the formless substance. It might sound crazy, but just stay with me here. If Wallace D. Wattles wrote these principles in 1910, and they closely match Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich, and Jose Silva’s The Silva Method, then why not just test this out for yourself for some time.

The only thing we lack is awareness…and in order to open up our awareness, we must kick down the door, and look at the opportunity that’s available to all of us.

Wattles explains that “The visible supply is practically inexhaustible; and the invisible supply really IS inexhaustible. (Economics teaches us there is a limited supply but Wattles is telling us that human attention is the only thing that is scarce). Everything you see on earth is made of one substance, out of which all things proceed. New Forms are constantly being made, and older ones are dissolving; but all shapes are assumed by One Thing. There is no limit to the supply of the Formless Stuff, or Original Substance.” (Ch 3, SGR, Wattles).

Abundance is here, we just might not be able to “see” it if it’s on a different level of vibration than our current level of thinking.

This is where we come to understand that “the resources of the formless supply are at the command of any man or woman who will act and think in a certain way” then “the Secret to Life” (Ch 3, SGR, Wattles) is available to all of us.

Whatever it is that you desire, (that possibility that seeks expression with and through you) it is possible to achieve, with time, effort, hard work and focus. Like our daughters who begged us to join gymnastics, they were both willing to put in the hard work to develop the skills needed to push them both through difficult times to bring their visions into form) or for me, to know that I can never sit somewhere and not be reading a book, or writing an episode, that I’ll record and put out into the world. I’m willing to put in the time and effort to make sure these episodes are my best work, offering our listeners something unique, something they couldn’t just get from the internet, or from Google, which puts this show at the top of the charts (in Neuroscience[xiii] and SEL[xiv]) each year.

What is it for you? What is it that’s seeking expression through you? It might be a book you want to write, and you think, “Oh that book’s already been written” or you think someone else might be better at what you want to do. Until you step forward and try, you’ll be holding yourself back from expressing the possibility that wants to be expressed within you.

Remember: The invisible supply is inexhaustible. The supply will never run short. If you come to this chapter, and are aware of something that might be holding you back from something you desire, it’s here that you can look at your paradigms, or beliefs that we covered in depth of EP 67.[xv]

If you are with me here, and know what it is that is seeking expression with and through you, (whatever it is that you desire) and you are not worried that someone else will take your place, keep reading this book.

CHAPTER 4: THE FIRST PRINCIPLE OF THE SCIENCE OF GETTING RICH

We covered this chapter on EP 315 in PART 2[xvi] of this REVIEW where I challenged everyone to read chapters 4/14/7 for 90 days. Keep reading.

CHAPTER 5: INCREASING LIFE

Wattles explains that “Every living thing must continually seek for the enlargement of its life, because life, in the mere act of living, must increase itself.” (Ch 5, SGR, Wattles).

There is nothing wrong for wanting to be/do/have more in our lives.

Wattles says that “We want to get rich in order that you may eat, drink, and be merry when it’s time to do these things, see distant lands, feed your mind and develop your intellect; in order that you may love men and do kind things, and be able to play a good part in helping the world find truth.” (Ch 5, SGR, Wattles).

Brian Proctor talked about this concept on our interview EP 292[xvii] this past summer because this is one chapter that Bob Proctor lived every day. He gave the impression of increase to EVERYONE. I remember when I was moving from Toronto to the US in 2001, with barely any money in my pocket, but an incredible vision for where I was going, and Bob said to me “Andrea, are you flying first class to Arizona?” I almost fell off the chair I was sitting on. Of course, I wasn’t flying first class! It would be a few years before I sat in first class on an airplane, but Bob wanted me to see that sitting in first class was definitely an option. It was just an option that took me a few years to grasp.

Wattles says it this way.

“A seed, dropped into the ground, springs into activity, and in the act of living produces a hundred more seeds; life, by living, multiplies itself. It is forever Becoming More; it must do so, if it continues to be at all. Intelligence is under this same necessity for continuous increase. Every thought we think makes it necessary for us to think another thought; consciousness is continually expanding. Every fact we learn leads us to the learning of another fact; knowledge is continually increasing. Every talent we cultivate brings to the mind the desire to cultivate another talent; we are subject to the urge of life, seeking expression, which ever drives us on to know more, to do more, and to be more.” (Ch 5, SGR, Wattles).

It’s here that learning to live beyond our 5 senses, what our senses pick up, and develop the 6 faculties of our mind: our perception, reason, will, memory, imagination and intuition that we covered on EP 294[xviii] come into play. When Proctor asked me if I was flying first class to Arizona, he planted the seed in my mind that flying first class was a great way to travel. Proctor planted many seeds in my mind in the 6 years I worked in the seminar industry. Now, I feel like it’s my obligation to share what I learned, to help others.

Wattles reminds us to “make the most of yourself, for yourself, and for others; and you can help others more by making the most of yourself than in any other way” (Ch 5, SGR, Wattles.)

You must live for yourself, (finding the right balance with just enough) for yourself first, and then help look for how you can help others.

If you come from the competitive mindset, (if you’ve been conditioned to either WIN or LOSE) this next concept might take some additional effort. Wattles reminds us to “get rid of the thought of competition. You are to create, not to compete for what is already created. You do not have to take anything away from from anyone.” (Ch 5, SGR, Wattles).

“Riches secured on the competitive plane are never satisfactory and permanent” Wattles says. They are yours today and another’s tomorrow.

Remember if you are to become rich in a scientific and certain way, you must rise entirely out of competitive thought. You must never think for a moment that the supply is limited. This will drop you into the competitive mind the moment you begin to think that all the money is being cornered and controlled by the bankers and others…Know that the money you need will come when you need it.

Live by this absolute truth.

“There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which, in its original state, penetrates, permeates and fills the interspaces of the universe.

A thought in this substance produces the thing that is imaged by the thought.

You can form things in your thought, and by impressing your thought upon the formless substance, can cause the thing you think about to be created.”

REVIEW AND CONCLUSION:

To review and conclude PART 5 of our review of Wallace D. Wattles’ The Science of Getting Rich, we covered:

CHAPTER 1: THE RIGHT TO BE RICH

“There is nothing wrong with wanting more in life. No man is to be happy with little.” (Ch 1, SGR, Wattles)

“To unfold the soul and develop talent” we cannot do these things unless you have the money to pay for them.” (Ch 1, SGR, Wattles)

Then we talked about how our desire is “possibility seeking expression” with and through us, and we can look within ourselves to discover what our true desires are that we must express.

My daughter, wanted to train in competitive gymnastics, which requires money “to unfold her soul and develop her talent.”

I know that to unfold my soul, I must spend my leisure time studying, learning, and then sharing what I am learning to help others.

Money is required for both of these examples.

What is YOUR desire that’s seeking expression with and through you?

CHAPTER 2 THERE IS A SCIENCE OF GETTING RICH

There is a Science of getting rich, and it is an exact science, like algebra or arithmetic.” (Chapter 2, SGR, Wattles) and we have discovered that it’s about thinking and acting in a certain way.

Wattles describes that “those who do things in this Certain Way, whether on purpose or accidentally, get rich; while those who do not do things in this Certain Way, no matter how hard they work or how able they are, remain poor.”

My goal with this review of Wattles’ SGR book is to show us that we ALL have the same ability, the ability to “think” and “act” in a certain way, (with prosperity thinking vs poverty thinking) and that once we have learned to think and act this way for ourselves, we can then turn our focus onto others and add tremendous value and abundance to someone else’s life.

CHAPTER 3 IS OPPORTUNITY MONOPOLIZED?

In this chapter, we come to understand that “the resources of the formless supply are at the command of any man or woman who will act and think in a certain way” and that “the Secret to Life” (Ch 3, SGR, Wattles) is available to all of us.

It’s here that we see that there is something that’s seeking expression with and through you, (whatever it is that you desire) and you are not worried that someone else will take your place. Nothing is impossible.

CHAPTER 4: THE FIRST PRINCIPLE OF THE SCIENCE OF GETTING RICH

We covered The First Principle of “thinking and acting in this certain way” on EP 315 in PART 2[xix] of this REVIEW where I challenged everyone to read chapters 4/14/7 for 90 days. When reading Chapter 4, every day, the words will begin to have meaning to you, and your thinking will change, I promise you.

In this chapter, I began to think:

What do I really want? How am I thinking? Thinking is difficult! And slowly, with time, I began to see that nothing is impossible.

CHAPTER 5: INCREASING LIFE

We learned that it’s important to “make the most of yourself, for yourself, and for others; and you can help others more by making the most of yourself than in any other way” and that “we are impelled to know more, be more and do more.” (Ch 5, SGR, Wattles.)

We want to get rich in order that you may eat, drink, and be merry when it’s time to do these things, see distant lands, feed your mind and develop your intellect; in order that you may love men and do kind things, and be able to play a good part in helping the world find truth.” (Ch 5, SGR, Wattles).

There is nothing wrong with wanting to develop our mind/body and spirit. In doing so, we uncover whatever it is that’s seeking expression in ourselves, that we want to develop in ourselves. Once we have developed ourselves, we can figure out ways to help others to do the same.

Each chapter in The Science of Getting Rich helps to build our understanding of what it is that we are meant to do in this world, with an unwavering belief that we cannot fail. Once we have done this, we lend our hand to help others.

Remember:

“There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which, in its original state, penetrates, permeates and fills the interspaces of the universe.

A thought in this substance produces the thing that is imaged by the thought.

You can form things in your thought, and by impressing your thought upon the formless substance, can cause the thing you think about to be created.”

“In order to do this, a person must pass from the competitive to the creative mind. They must form a clear mental picture in their thoughts with the fixed purpose to get what they want, and the unwavering faith that they will get what they want—closing their mind to all that may tend to dim their vision, or quench their faith. “

Can you see how Wallace D. Wattles’ The Science of Getting Rich goes hand in hand with Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich and The Silva Method?

How NOTHING is impossible?

How we are the product of our thoughts. What we think, we become?

Next episode, we will cover chapters 6, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 that will lead us all to Chapters 13, 15, 16, 17 and the conclusion of this book review.

See you next time.
