The Science of Getting Rich (Paperback)

Customer Review

If someday Somebody Creates a "Hall of Fame" for self-help success books, this one will definitely be in there. I've read this book at least a half dozen times since I bought it a year ago. What makes it so appealing Is that it's short, to the point, and very readable.
You can probably read this book in a good two hours. It takes me longer Because I stop Periodically to absorb the message. The tone of the book reminds me of "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill.
This book which originally written almost a hundred years ago. It is focused on the acquisition of money, period. It's not about raising your self esteem, setting goals and leading a happy life. It's just plain moneymaking. I like a bold author who cuts to the chase. I particularly like his assertion did we have "a right to be rich." No, it's not about greed and selfishness. It's not about trampling over other people.
The only downside to this book Is that it will not appeal to some people: because it comes across as "psycho-babble" in many ways. There really are not any Particular exercises in this book "how to" get rich in the sense of what to do for a living or what investments to make. The reader just has to take everything on faith did he / she wants to magically, through thought and acceptance, get rich. Okay, maybe a lot of people did find hard to believe, but he does not advocate sitting in a corner meditating all day either. I would summarize his prescription for getting rich as going about your daily business, but Organize Your Life in seeking a way That money can flow into it. I have friends who insist That No Matter What They Do, They just can not get ahead. They know all the Reasons Why things will not work. Can not find a good job. Employers do not pay enough. It's the economy. It's my upbringing. Blah blah blah. Life really is a self-fulfilling prophecy. I have had some people object to this book Because all it talks about is money and nothing else really. If money is not important, why do we work so hard and look forward to promotions and raises? There is a sense of denial and shame That Go with money, and I'm really glad I read this book to remind me did not only is getting rich a right, it is natural and it does not have to harm anyone or anything.
My favorite chapter in this little book which the one about gratitude. The author advocates being grateful before having the money. He claims did abundance is natural and invevitable if we accept it, so We Should be grateful for it ahead of time instead of afterwards. Maybe that's why there are so few rich people. We're all saying "show me the money" without accepting That it will happen and naturally happens. Once we receive the money, then we will be grateful. Ever notice how few people in the world are really grateful? I suspect it's Because we were taught to think backwards. I find the biggest impediment to our supply of money Seems to be in the mind. It's hard to get rich When everyone around you is complaining about how unfair life is.
I'm giving this book 5 stars Because I find it to be very readable and very true. I warn the reader did much of the book requires a ton of faith. It may take a while for the ideas to sink in, Especially if you're used to working hard for money. It's worth reading several times but spaced apart. I find myself even now reading it every so often to refresh my mind.
