This book is a practical, not philosophical treatise. It is a guide to getting rich, not a theoretical study. It is designed for people whose greatest need is money, and for those who want to get rich first, and then philosophy. It is for those who want to get results, who wishes to take scientific findings as a basis for action, and without detailed consideration of all the processes by which they were obtained.

This book has an impact on the well-known writers such as Napoleon Hill, Robert Schuller, Anthony Robins, and many more. It also has an impact on the movie-bestseller The Secret, and the book New Thought, by William Walter Atkinson.
