The Science of Getting Rich

[Telos]

I'm currently in the process of redistributing "The Science of Getting Rich," written in 1910 by Wallace D. Wattles, on Wikibooks.

The first four chapters are up now. It'll take some time to write the rest, but it should only be a matter of days.

Edit: It was already available on Wikisource!

I'll have to see if it is the same book; I downloaded a pdf with that title. If you find it works, great. I"ll actually read it then.

[Telos]

Ah! I've finished!

It is now available for your perusal.

So basically this book will teach me to get rich, eh? lol

It looks awfully short to be a book.

I apologize, but I made a tremendous blunder... I typed the entire book to Wikibooks but it turns out that that is not the place for it (but someone had already started it, so I wasn't the only crazy one!). There is another Wiki called Wikisource that is specifically for public domain texts. And it's already there.

Yes. Although I just read it under a month ago, the concepts are very simple. It asserts that you become rich in the marketplace by selling things which have more "use value" than what you're charging in monetary value. And, that in everything you do should be for the purpose of "increase," meaning every interaction you have with people is also meant to give them the thought of increase. Controversially, it also tells you to completely ignore poverty, because the best way you can serve the poor is by becoming rich.

Having briefly stayed at a homeless shelter myself, and acquainting myself with people who are regularly homeless, I can't deny that that is pretty good reasoning

I suppose I'll just have to read it to understand.

So that is all of it? It looks extremely short, still.

It looks extremely short, still.

It also emphasizes creativity, as opposed to dominative competitition. So I suppose the book is also telling you to "write your own book."

And it is free.
