Book Review of The Science of Getting Rich

The Science of Getting Rich
rxkicker avatar reviewed on + 71 more book reviews


I listened to the whole thing only because it was short (one CD). This was published in 1910. In essence: think and grow rich, fake it till you make it, believe it has already happened, etc. This is not science as we now think of it; it is social/religious "science" of 100 years ago. The guy must have been paid by the word. The text is similar to "This is the only way to follow and the way that you must follow and if you follow, as you must, then you will see the way. The results will come only if you follow but always if you follow, and then you will see the way that comes from following." Okay, maybe it's not quite that bad. Certainly not what I was expecting. "Follow The Golden Rule and treat others as you would have them treat you and you will have the riches of the soul and the spirit...." -- Again, not a quote, but this is the sense of the book.
Might be worth your time if you like re-creating the feeling of 1910.
