The Science of Getting Rich, by Wallace D. Wattles is the book that inspired Rhonda Burn to create The Secret. This book was written in 1910 at a time when men in the West, like Freud, were discovering the true power of the mind. The late 1800s ushered in the New Thought movement in the US and a new kind of spirituality. One in which a God, or Infinite Intelligence, was actually benevolent and supportive of man.

Anyone interested in success can’t skip this book.
