I like how this book focuses on the positive! Instead of telling you about everything you are doing wrong, it gives you the information on doing things the right way. It can really change your life for the better if you follow the advice.

The secret teaching of this book is in chapter 4 and chapter 7.

Chapter 4.

Every thought you have is derived from an impression of the outside world. When you SEE HEAR SMELL TOUCH or TATSE something it INVOKES a thought. In other words, we are being controlled (really we are programmed) by the outside world. What we must start to do is live from the INSIDE OUT. Give control to you, and the outside will then be a reflection of the INSIDE.

These impressions create our THOUGHTS and our THOUGHTS determine how we FEEL. Therefore THINKING and FEELING as a combination is the secret ingredient to IMPRESSING your mind. Our Minds are easily IMPRESSED because we REACT (triggers emotions) to situations and people that make us FEEL bad (thought was just impressed), which leads to negativity and negativity repels money. You have to be on the right frequency to attract money. How..

Chapter 7

Gratitude is the seed for more. Whatever you're grateful for you will pull more of that into your life. The power is not in the gratefulness alone but the power really resides in "feeling" grateful. Feeling grateful is sending out positive emotions out into the universe and whatever you are grateful for you align with on a vibrational level.

"When we realize this" as Wattles says, we loose all doubt for we now know how to create what we want to create and have what we want to have and become what we want to become. You have always had control over your life, but you have given control of it to other people and circumstances because you have allowed it to take possession of your mind by your REACTION to life.

Be mindful of your Words, be mindful of the words of others around you because life and death is in the power of the tongue. Words are powerful, because words determine how you feel and you can never "feel" really grateful and positive if you allow others to hurt you with their words because they are at an emotional level hurting your vibration and your vibration is what attracts everything you desire

There is a part in this book, right at beginning of it, describing the book:
This book is pragmatical, not philosophical; a practical manual, not a treatise upon theories. It is intended for the men and women whose most pressing need is for money; who wish to get rich first, and philosophize afterword.

It is for those who have, so far, find neither the time, the means, nor the opportunity, to go deeply into the study of metaphysics, but who want results and who are willing to take the conclusions of science as a basis for action, without going into all the processes by which those conclusions were reached.

Chapter 1 – The right to be rich
Chapter 2 – There is a science of getting rich
Chapter 3 – Is opportunity monopolized?
Chapter 4 – The first principle in the science in Getting Rich
Chapter 5 – Increasing life
Chapter 6 – How riches come to you
Chapter 7 – Gratitude
Chapter 8 – Thinking in a Certain Way
Chapter 9 – How to use the Will
Chapter 10 – Further use of the Will
Chapter 11 – Acting in the Certain Way
Chapter 12 – Efficient action
Chapter 13 – Getting into the Right Business
Chapter 14 – The impression of increase
Chapter 15: The advancing man
Chapter 16 – Same caution and concluding observations
Chapter 17 – Summary of the Science of Getting Rich

This book can be described easily as:
Use your power of thought to think the ways you can make more money with knowledge that you already possess; but don’t stop with just thinking and planning, you need to take the action, because you’ll achieve nothing if you don’t work on getting your plans and thoughts into reality.
