PrefaceTHIS BOOK IS PRAGMATICAL, NOT PHILOSOPHICAL - a practical manual, not a treatise upon theories. It is intended for the men and women whose most pressing need is for money, who wish to get rich first, and philosophize afterward. It is for those who want results and who are willing to take the conclusions of science as a basis for action, without going into all the processes by which those

CHAPTER 1 - The Right To Be RichWHATEVER MAY BE SAID IN PRAISE OF POVERTY, the fact remains that it is not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless one is rich. No one can rise to his greatest possible height in talent or soul development unless he has plenty of money, for to unfold the soul and to de-velop talent he must have many things to use, and he cannot have these

CHAPTER 2 - There Is A Science of Getting RichTHERE IS A SCIENCE OF GETTING RICH, and it is an exact science, like algebra or arithmetic. There are certain laws which govern the process of acquiring riches, and once these laws are learned and obeyed by anyone, that person will get rich with mathematical certainty.The ownership of money and property comes as a result of doing things in a certain

CHAPTER 3 - Is Opportunity Monopolized?NO ONE IS KEPT POOR BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE MONOPOLIZED THE WEALTH and have put a fence around it. You may be shut off from engaging in business in certain lines, but there are other channels open to you.At different periods the tide of opportunity sets in different directions, according to the needs of the whole and the particular stage of social

CHAPTER 4 - The First Principle in The Science of Getting RichTHOUGHT IS THE ONLY POWER WHICH CAN PRODUCE TANGIBLE RICHES from the formless substance. The stuff from which all things are made is a substance which thinks, and a thought of form in this substance produces the form.Original substance moves according to its thoughts; every form and process you see in nature is the visible expression

CHAPTER 9 - How To Use The WillTO SET ABOUT GETTING RICH IN A SCIENTIFIC WAY, you do not try to apply your will power to anything outside of yourself.You have no right to do so, anyway. It is wrong to apply your will to other men and women in order to get them to do what you wish done.It is as flagrantly wrong to coerce people by mental power as it is to coerce them by physical power.

Do not think of them at all. Do not tell of the poverty of your parents or the hardships of your early life. To do any of these

CHAPTER 11 - Acting in The Certain WayTHOUGHT IS THE CREATIVE POWER or the impelling force which causes the creative power to act. Thinking in a certain way will bring riches to you, but you must not rely upon thought alone, paying no attention to personal action.
