As a New Thought writer, he remains personally somewhat obscure, but his writing has been widely quoted and remains in print in the New Thought and self-help movements. Wattles often travelled to Chicago, where he gave "Sunday night lectures" among several leading New Thought authors. He studied the writings of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and Ralph Waldo Emerson and recommended the study of their books to his readers who wished to understand what he characterized as "the monistic theory of the cosmos." Wattles' best known work is a 1910 book called The Science of Getting Rich in which he explained how to become wealthy.

Wallace Delois Wattles (1860–1911) was an American author known for his work in the New Thought movement, a spiritual and philosophical movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He is best recognized for his magnum opus 'The Science of Getting Rich' (1910), but another noteworthy contribution to metaphysical thought is his book 'The Science of Being Well' (1910). Within the pages of this influential text, Wattles asserts that maintaining health comes from a clear understanding and application of certain universal principles. 'The Science of Being Well' argues for a harmonious relationship between mind and body, positing that one's thinking directly affects physical health. This text explores the premise that individuals can achieve well-being through positive thinking and visualization, which aligns with the wider teachings typically associated with New Thought literature. Wattles' works continue to resonate, providing the philosophical groundwork for the law of attraction and prosperity consciousness that are integral to many of today's self-help and personal development teachings. Despite having passed away over a century ago, Wattles' impact on motivational literature endures, as contemporary readers seek out his guidance on achieving personal success and a healthy state of being.
