Short summary

What's it about?

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.

You'll learn:

- Why gratitude aligns personal consciousness with universal generosity

- How competitive thinking guarantees long-term failure

- The exact specificity your requests to the universe require
