The Science of Getting Rich

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."

The Secret is influenced by Wallace Wattles' 1910 book The Science of Getting Rich, which Rhonda Byrne received from her daughter during a time of personal trauma in 2004.
