The book is intended to establish a state of positivity and self-affirmation. The Science of Getting Rich preceded similar financial success books such as The Master Key System by Charles F. Haanel and Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. The book has gone through many editions and remains in print from more than one publisher. The Science of Getting Rich was credited by Rhonda Byrne as one of the inspirations for her popular 2006 film and 2007 book The Secret.

The book is included in personal development scholar Tom Butler-Bowdon's list of "50 Success Classics" in his 2004 book of that name.
