Summary: The best book on the mind
Review: Dianetics, The Modern Science of Mental Health, is just
that: it is modern, it is a science, and it leads the
way to a healthier mind, by breaking the mind into two
parts: the analytical mind, which is rational, works
like a computer and is sane --- and the reactive mind,
which is not rational, and works on a stimulus response
basis. The book shows how you can rid yourself of
the irrational part of your mind through the use of
Dianetic counseling. I can personally attest that this
works, as I have achieved the state of Clear using
Dianetics. I am no longer subject to the irrational
impulses of the reactive mind. I'm much more myself,
alive, and happy. So I recommend the book.

Summary: For those who want to find out for themselves about life.
Review: I first read Dianetics in 1986. I could not believe how accurate it is. The techniques are simple and very effective.
I have had many personal successes with it both using Dianetics and receiving Dianetics. It is a refreshingly drug free way to improve one's outlook on life.

Summary: Still a great book on the Mind.
Review: I reread this book and have even helped others apply its techniques. I reread these reviews too. Rather than criticize, why not read the book, use a good dictionary and try the techniques on a neighbor or friend. No cost or obligation! except Amazon's great deal above.

Summary: Old But Good. Read SB 1 or God
Review: I bought Dianetics as so much publicity has bombed us with this book for years. What I had not realized is that Mr. Hubbard wrote this book in early 1950's. I saw the book in the University of Orgon Library, barely held together by its abused binding for more than 45 years! I scanned through it and decided to buy a copy. Without much to say, this is an oldie but goodie. Now myself being an intern, a bit of Hubbard is medically outdated but the social psychological I cannot argue. The book is very helpful and do see it helping many people break out of whatever personal or environmental hinderences they may be in. I would not have come here to write this review if it did not help me, I am in fact perfoming at a noticably better level.
I would like to recommend and pass on a more modern book that has really intrigued me. To help anyone if I could, Karl Mark Maddox has a super book called SB 1 or God

Summary: At least my car came with an owner's manual!
Review: At least my car came with an owner's manual! My mind did not. Boy, did my mind not come with one. And I certainly did not get a manual that explained my ex-wife's mind. Then I read Dianetics. Now I have the key. When someone says to me, "I have a splitting headache." I know what happened to them and what to do to help them. When they say, "I just keep hearing that voice in my head." I know what happened to them, and what to do about it. When I see a grieving widow, I know what to do to help. Using Dianetics to understand people's problems, so I can really help them, is so much better than just listening. Dianetics gave me the means to help others. Very satisfying.

Summary: How to Help Yourself
Review: Most of us are not satisfied with the quality of life we live. There are many ways that one can be unhappy. As a successful businessman, I had plenty of material success, but it was hollow & unfulfilling - I was always looking for MORE. More of what, I didn't know, but it looked like the only course open to me was to be old & less happy.Then I encountered this book. It gave me a way to help myself, without having to rely on others. Since I had, some time before decided NOT to continue to "medicate" myself into happiness, this book supplied me with a knowledge of how things really are & how they work - which was invaluable. Along with a healthy diet & exercise, I began to read this book. It was an eery feeling, like I was being reacquainted with what I had known was true some time before. Hubbard has taken an engineer's view of the mind. As a building designer/builder, this was in my view absolutely correct. He observed life & simply stated how it works. I never thought that such a simple book would alter my life as this did, but it did. The world is full of experts & one shouldn't think that this book is just another expert's opinion. It is far more. It exposes you to the way things are, how the mind works; then allows you to do for yourself from there, IF you agree. I cannot stress enough that people should NOT overlook this book. You will find the answer you couldn't find because you haven't been able to verbalize the problem. Hopefully, you take the time to read the book & evaluate for yourself. You won't be unhappy with this choice.

Summary: Dianetics
Review: I have just reread this book after 15 years. There is something very calming about looking at life from the viewpoint that man is basically good but just needs to handle the past experiences that are causing him to not operate at full moral and mental capacity.
