Introduction
Is Money Magic a Real Thing?
By Mitch Horowitz
Can a book bring you riches—or, at least, cold hard cash? I wouldn’t be too quick to answer that question until you personally experiment with the condensed works in this collection.
I have written many times that we live under multiple laws and forces. There are myriad factors behind the ebb and flow of money in our lives. But I firmly believe that our thoughts about money are among them. For that reason, the discovery of a new set of ideas and beliefs about money can, potentially, have a radical effect.
That is exactly what you will discover in the three abridged works in this collection: The Science of Getting Rich; How to Attract Money; and The Magic of Believing. More so, these books get you asking about—and experimenting with—how your thoughts relate to and impact your personal resources.
I want to share a very unusual—and entirely true—story about one of the books in this collection, Claude M. Bristol’s The Magic of Believing. This book, which you may have never before encountered, has played a vital role in the lives of people you have likely heard of. Pianist Liberace, comedienne Phyllis Diller, and radio host George Noory have sworn by Bristol’s volume as the source of their success. This leads to my story.
I have a close friend in New England who had been recovering from a serious illness. Several months before this writing, he hit financial bottom. He had a total of $102 to his name. Despite his various efforts, he had lost his health insurance and was facing financial catastrophe.
One February night in 2018, he encountered my challenge on social media to make a fresh reading of Bristol’s 1948 classic. Feeling he had little left to lose, my friend went on a marathon listening spree of an audio edition that I happened to narrate. He listened to it through for several days.
He called me breathlessly one morning. A boss from an old job phoned him to say that he needed to do something about his dormant 401k. Oh that?
he asked indifferently, thinking it was just a few dollars and cents. Have you looked at it lately?
his ex-boss asked. The all-but-forgotten account held $52,000.
The news arrived, literally, like a miracle. I define a miracle, quite simply, as a fortuitous departure from all reasonable expectation. As life visits frictions and tragedies on us, it also visits fantastically unexpected good news. An actuary can crunch the numbers, and I’m not necessarily asserting a magical
cause and effect. But the timing and emotions left my friend with an indelible sense of meaning.
Many vintage mind-power books, like the ones in this collection, tantalize readers with stories of miraculous outcomes. (The disappointments are notably absent.) "Where are today’s miracles?" I get asked.
Well, I’ve just given you one to judge. More importantly, I ask you to read and apply the ideas in this volume—do so fully, with passion, and without reservation. See what happens. And then answer for yourself the question I opened with.

INTRODUCTION
The Ethic of Success
Some people have deeply contradictory feelings about the idea of getting rich.
They believe that getting rich sounds gauche, unspiritual, or selfish. This book by American social reformer and New Thought pioneer Wallace D. Wattles will put those mixed feelings to rest.
Wattles, a fighter for progressive causes as well as a pioneering mind theorist, believed that the true aim of enrichment was not the mere accumulation of personal resources, but the establishment of a better world: a world of shared abundance and possibility for all people.
His guidebook The Science of Getting Rich was obscure until about ten years ago. In 2007, word spread that The Science of Getting Rich was a source behind the mega-selling book and movie The Secret. The book began to hit bestseller lists, nearly than a century after the author’s death in 1911. I published an edition myself that reached number-one on the Businessweek bestseller list.
But what many of Wattles’s new generation of readers missed was his dedication to the ethic of collective advancement and creativity above animal competition; his belief that competition itself was an outmoded idea, soon to be supplanted but the creative capacities found within the mind. And that once unlocked, these higher capacities would grant working men and women the keys to a life of prosperity for themselves and for all around them.
Was his vision really so utopian? We live in an age of remarkable advances in placebo studies, extending even to placebo surgery
and mentally based weightloss; new findings in the field called neuroplasticity, which show that the brain’s neural pathways are literally rewired
by habits of thought; extraordinary questions posed by quantum physics experiments, which suggest causality between thought and object; and ongoing and serious experiments in ESP, which repeatedly demonstrate some kind of nonphysical conveyance of data in laboratory settings.
Wattles’s vision, now more than a century old, was simply to ask whether these remarkable abilities, which were only hinted at in the science labs of his day, could be applied and experimented with on the material scale of daily life.
Wattles did not live long enough to see the influence of his book. He died of tuberculosis less than a year after it appeared. But his calm certainty and profoundly confident yet gentle tone suggest that he understood the portent of what he was writing.
Like every great thinker, Wattles left us not with a doctrine, but rather with articles of experimentation. The finest thing you can do to honor the memory of this good man—and to advance your own place in life—is to heed his advice: Go and experiment. Go and try. And if you experience results, as I think you will, do what he did: Tell the people.
—Mitch Horowitz
CHAPTER ONE
For Those Who Want Money
This book is a practical manual, not a treatise upon theories. It is intended for men and women whose most pressing need is money; who wish to get rich first, and philosophize afterward. It is for those who have, so far, found 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.
It is expected that the reader will take the fundamental statements of this book upon faith; and, taking the statements upon faith, that he will prove their truth by acting upon them without fear or hesitation.
Every man or woman who does this will certainly get rich; for the science herein is an exact science, and failure is impossible. For the benefit, however, of those who wish to investigate philosophical theories and secure a logical basis for faith, I will here cite certain authorities.
The monistic theory of the universe—the theory that One is All, and that All is One; that one Substance manifests itself as the seeming many elements of the material world—is of Hindu origin, and has been gradually winning its way into the thought of the western world for two hundred
