Wallace D. Wattles (1860-1911) is the author of numerous books on the subject of attracting wealth, health, happiness, and success, including his best-known work, The Science of Getting Rich, first published in 1910. A self-taught scholar of philosophy and religion, he studied the works of Descartes, Spinoza, Lebnitz, Schopenhauer, and Hegel, among others, Wattles discovered a profound truth: there is a science of success, and each of us has the power to tap into it to realize our greatest ambitions. He went on to develop this timeless notion into a simple, straightforward method for attracting prosperity.
