Wallace D. Wattles
Wallace D. Wattles argues that wealth is not an identity but a method, one governed by a precise formula: ask, believe, receive. In this 1910 treatise that prefigured The Secret by nearly a century, he introduces formless matter as the universe's infinite raw material, shaped entirely by human thought. Competition breeds anxiety and failure; creation attracts abundance. The science demands not changed circumstances but a changed mind, where vague ambitions yield nothing and only sharp, detailed visions materialize into fortune.
