La scienza del diventare ricchi

by Wallace D. Wattles, A. Talò (Translator)

Questo libro è un manuale pratico, non un trattato di teorie. È progettato per l'uomo e la donna che hanno il maggior bisogno di denaro, che vogliono prima diventare ricchi e poi filosofare, perché la scienza qui è una scienza esatta e il suo fallimento è impossibile.

About the author

Wallace Delois Wattles was an American author. A New Thought writer, he remains personally somewhat obscure, but his writing has been widely quoted and remains in print in the New Thought and self-help movements. Wattles' best known work is a 1910 book called The Science of Getting Rich in which he explained how to become wealthy.

He studied the writings of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and Ralph Waldo Emerson and recommended the study of their books to his readers who wished to understand what he characterized as "the monistic theory of the cosmos".

Through his personal study and experimentation Wattles claimed to have discovered the truth of New Thought principles and put them into practice in his own life. He wrote books outlining these principles and practices, giving them titles that described their content, such as Health Through New Thought and Fasting and The Science of Being Great. His daughter Florence recalled that "he lived every page" of his books.

A practical author, Wattles encouraged his readers to test his theories on themselves rather than take his word as an authority, and he claimed to have tested his methods on himself and others before publishing them.

Wattles practiced the technique of creative visualization. In his daughter Florence's words, he "formed a mental picture" or visual image, and then "worked toward the realization of this vision".

Rhonda Byrne told a Newsweek interviewer that her inspiration for creating the 2006 hit film The Secret and the subsequent book by the same name, was her exposure to Wattles's The Science of Getting Rich. Byrne's daughter, Hayley, had given her mother a copy of the Wattles book to help her recover from her breakdown.

Reviews

[Riccardo Mainetti · Rating 5 out of 5]

Un libro che contiene una serie di ottimi consigli su come realizzare se stessi, su come approcciare la vita e su cosa fare affinché tutto ciò che facciamo (scusate il bisticcio di parole) sia efficace.
Un testo del quale mi sento di consigliare la lettura a tutti!

[Roberto Bovina · Rating 3 out of 5]

Titolo un po azzardato,comunque dà degli spunti interessanti. Rientra nel filone del genere" come diventare ricchi", a cui in generale credo poco. Non dice in pratica cosa fare, ma parte dalla psicologia, dal volere esattamente una certa cosa, desiderarla.
