The book

What a coaching edition of The Science of Getting Rich does

Wattles published this in 1910. The title sounds like a plan. The book is a claim about thinking in a certain way, acting in a certain way, and not mixing the two. He is specific, and he is easy to counterfeit. A coaching edition is for running his method on a case, not for borrowing the mood.

What the book is for

He argues there is a way to get rich that is a science rather than a scramble, and that it starts from a definite aim, a picture of what you are building, and action on the opportunities already at hand. He is against competition as a stance. He is not against work. The chapters on increasing life, and on the will, are where readers either take him as a practice or turn him into a wish.

What the edition adds

It separates the picture from the errand. Wattles wants both. A session that stops at the picture has not done the chapter. The push is the action available this week that belongs to the aim, and the action you are calling faith instead of doing.

It also leaves room to refuse him. If a sentence is doing no work on your case, say so. The book is short enough that vague assent is the usual failure.

What it will not do

It will not outrank Clason on a budget. If expenses expand to meet income, Babylon is the rule. Wattles is the book when the stall is the aim and the work attached to it, not the purse leaking.
