The Science of Getting Rich

I bought this to read with my dad, since we like to debate this kind of material. It's ok for what it is- philosophy on the shallowest of wants, that of material gain. It doesn't pretend to be anything else, and I admire that kind of candor.

A good, if shallow, version of a deeper philosophy. This book is the grandfather of "The Secret". If you want a better life without reading philosophy, this isn't a bad resource.

As a compulsive reader of sciences and philosophy, I found the concepts a bit elementary, but they actually do work. Obviously, if you have a positive view of life then you will see more positive things around you, even in bad situations. It has a tendency to repeat the same thing again and again, but there is logic behind this- it is a course in retraining the way you see yourself financially.

If you like to read deeper philosophy, this book will seem shallow and new-agey. If you just want to be happy and wealthy, not a bad read and worth the money. Hopefully, if this is the case, it will lead to reading the authors that Wattles mentions in the beginning and spark an interest in more than just money.

The information in this book cannot be absorbed in one listen. The more you listen, the more the concepts will be absorbed.

The line where he says...smart people get rich anad lunkheads get rich.

The narrator could have been a bit more

The Science that everyone will want to learn....

At times, this book can come across as pure genius, and at others, pure lunacy. Although I don't think the author was necessarily crazy, he may well be in his grave laughing at me right now for having spent good money on his book.

This book is not about investing, nor is it particularly scientific. I don't know why they put it in the investing section of the Audible site, and I would be surprised if the word investing is even mentioned during the reading.

There are certainly some interesting points to consider in this book. Wattles strikes a chord when he explains the abundance mentality for example, and there are other pockets of seemingly obvious wisdom along similar lines of maintaining a positive mental attitude, such as thinking rich to be rich, and not dwelling on the poor or their situation

Then there are the times when Wattles tells you that the entire universe is comprised of but one type of matter (to prove his theory of abundance), and that to get anything, you just need to think about it long enough and hard enough, and it will be yours. Walk around with a positive attitude, and the riches will just flow your way.

I finished this book feeling disappointed. Wattles spends more time quoting the bible and getting “zen” than he does in providing tangible science by which to become rich. Audible should move this book out of investing and into the religion/philosophy/self-help section. If you do like this sort of book (it has its merits at times), then I heartily recommend Covey’s 7 Habits book, which is a much worthier undertaking.

I have truly enjoyed listening to this audio book. It has inspired me.

Copletely without merit. It doesn't rate as a "Business" book and is of even less value spiritually. I want my 3 hours back.
