The heirloom hardcover edition
Before it was a worldwide phenomenon, it was a slim book from 1910. Now read the originals together in one heirloom hardcover: The Science of Getting Rich, As a Man Thinketh and The Master Key System.
An independent edition. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Rhonda Byrne or The Secret.
2004 · A gift at a low point
In 2004, at a low point in her life, Rhonda Byrne was handed a book by her daughter. It wasn't new. It was a book written in 1910 by an American named Wallace D. Wattles, and it carried a blunt, old-fashioned title: The Science of Getting Rich.
That book became the seed of The Secret. Released in 2006, The Secret went on to sell tens of millions of copies and introduced a generation to an old idea: that what we think shapes the lives we lead.
But the idea didn't begin there. The Secret draws on a circle of early twentieth-century "New Thought" writers, among them Wattles and Charles F. Haanel. Their books are still the clearest, most complete statement of it.
Most people who read The Secret never read the originals.
This edition brings you back to the source, in the authors' own words, printed whole.
What's inside
Printed whole, in the authors' own words, with an original introduction.
Original introduction
A short, factual essay written for this edition: how a 1910 book became a 2006 phenomenon, who these three authors were, and how to read them today.
Book I · 1910
Wallace D. Wattles
The book that started it all. A short, plain-spoken guide to thinking and acting “in a certain way”, and the book Rhonda Byrne was given in 2004.
“There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made.”
Book II · 1903
James Allen
A quiet, beloved essay on how our thoughts shape our character and our circumstances. Short enough to read in one sitting, deep enough to reread for years.
“Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become.”
Book III · 1916
Charles F. Haanel
A 24-part course in concentration, visualization and the power of thought, originally studied one part a week.
“The world without is a reflection of the world within.”
The object
These words have been passed hand to hand for over a century. They deserve better than a screen or a cheap paperback.
A sturdy case-bound book, sized like a classic novel. Made to sit on a shelf for decades.
Warm, soft-toned paper that is easy on the eyes, the way old books feel.
Classic typesetting with generous margins, chapter ornaments and drop caps, designed to be read slowly.
Deep green with an antique-gold keyhole design. Quietly beautiful on a nightstand or a coffee table.
For the friend who loved The Secret, the sister starting over, or the daughter heading out into the world. It is the kind of book people underline, dog-ear and pass on, and remember who gave it to them.
Each copy is printed to order and shipped directly to the address you choose.
Product photos are renderings of the finished book. The cover is a matte printed hardcover: the gold keyhole design is printed, not foil-stamped or embossed.
