The Science of Getting Rich is a book written by Wallace D. Wattles and published in 1910 by the Elizabeth Towne Company. The book is based on Hindu philosophies that One is All, and that All is One. Wattles' "Certain Way" descended from the "mental healing movement" that had started earlier with Phineas P. Quimby in the mid-19th century. The book is intended to establish a state of positivity and self-affirmation. The Science of Getting Rich preceded similar financial success books such as The Master Key System by Charles F. Haanel and Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. The book has gone through many editions and remains in print from more than one publisher. The Science of Getting Rich was credited by Rhonda Byrne as one of the inspirations for her popular 2006 film and 2007 book The Secret. The continuing influence of The Science of Getting Rich is such that in addition to reprints and audio versions of the book itself, there are a number of web domains whose names are based on its title. The book is included in personal development scholar Tom Butler-Bowdon's list of "50 Success Classics" in his 2004 book of that name.
