1. A riqueza como método replicável

   Wallace Wattles opens with a bold claim: getting rich is not luck, talent or location. It is the result of doing things in a certain way, and anyone who does things that way will get rich as surely as water runs downhill.

2. Crie, não dispute

   Wattles draws a line between two mental modes. The competitive mind sees a fixed pie and tries to grab a bigger slice.

3. Uma visão clara com gratidão

   Vague wanting gets vague results. Wattles asks you to form a definite mental image of what you want, as specific as a house plan with its rooms and costs, and to hold it steadily with faith that it is coming and a settled purpose to get it.

4. Aja agora e por inteiro

   Thinking, Wattles insists, is only half the method. You cannot picture your way to wealth while sitting still.

5. Dê mais do que você recebe

   The moral core of the book is the idea of increase. Every transaction should leave the other person better off than before.

6. Coloque em prática

   Write a one-page description of the financial life you want in 5 years, with specific numbers, rooms, routines and people, and read it every morning and night. Spend 2 minutes each day listing what you are grateful for, in writing, before you look at what is missing.
