Publisher's summary

Originally published in 1910, this audiobook takes the mystery out of the accumulation of wealth and breaks it down into a scientific formula.

Here is an excerpt from the Preface of the audiobook:

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 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 listener will take the fundamental statements upon faith, just as he would take statements concerning a law of electrical action if they were promulgated by a Marconi or an Edison; 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 applied is an exact science, and failure is impossible...

...In writing this audiobook I have sacrificed all other considerations to plainness and simplicity of style, so that all might understand. The plan of action laid down herein was deduced from the conclusions of philosophy; it has been thoroughly tested, and bears the supreme test of practical experiment: It works...and if you wish to reap the fruits of their philosophies in actual practice, listen to this book and do exactly as it tells you to do.

Revisit

First go around felt it was too much of a stretch. Put it down, came back after more research on similar material by the likes of Neville Goddard, it became a very practical blueprint.

A book to study and not just read

For this book, I decided to study it and not just read it/listen to it. So the approach is that I will set the first hour of my day to study this book. For each day, I will take one chapter and listen to the same chapter 5 to 6 times. I also have the ebook and I was following the text with my eyes while I was listening. I then spend some time to write notes of what I understood from the chapter. I must say that this book is deep and require to be carefully studied. I have reconfirmed some ideas that I already had and helped me to structure my process. I highly recommend it if you are into contemplating. I would rename this book to "The process of thinking and acting to get rich"
