Long before the modern language of the Law of Attraction, three influential writers were teaching that thought, character, expectation, and purposeful action shape the direction of a person's life. This volume brings together three foundational works of New Thought and personal development: Wallace D. Wattles's The Science of Getting Rich, James Allen's As a Man Thinketh, and Prentice Mulford's Thoughts Are Things.
In The Science of Getting Rich, Wattles presents a practical philosophy of prosperity built upon clear intention, gratitude, creative thought, and effective action. Allen's As a Man Thinketh explores the relationship between thought and character, arguing that habits of mind influence conduct, circumstances, and achievement. Mulford's Thoughts Are Things examines the power of sustained belief, expectation, and mental influence, helping establish ideas that would later become central to motivational and self-help literature.
Together, these three classics offer an accessible introduction to the principles behind positive thinking, self-mastery, and the deliberate pursuit of prosperity. Think Yourself Wealthy invites readers to examine their assumptions, strengthen their purpose, and turn constructive thought into disciplined action.
