Summary: Dianetics: An extremely helpful and informative book.
Review: I have read many "self help" books out on the market today and Dianetics is my favorite. To me, it is the "owners manual" of the human mind that is written for the common person.
There is an engineering percision to it that I've not found anywhere else. Not a lot of "feel good" platitudes that you can get from your grocery news stand but real, actual, workable techniques that anyone can learn.
I've tried about everything out there and nothing works like Dianetics.
You wouldn't want to try to run a computer without the owners manual and I think this book is the best manual out there for the "computer" you carry around with you 24/7. Shows you how to get all the "bugs" out and tweek it so it's working top notch.

Summary: Amazing what ignorance will do
Review: I was ignorant with respect to the mind & any technology about it. College educated during the Viet Nam era, I was hard working like most of my friends building projects in various locations around the country. Working hard, playing hard, making good money but not enjoying it much. Felt like 'male menopause' or something was kicking in & I was growing old & less active even as I was in my 30's. Then, in the mid 80's my wife bought a book called Dianetics. Of course, I didn't read it. Never liked that sort of thing very much. Self help equalled weakness in my outlook. Then, as sort of a spur of the moment thing, one day a person who called himself an auditor delivered a process to me which he said was Dianetics. I liked it because I was happier afterwards. So I had several more sessions. Then in one momentous session, I honestly blew chronic bronchial asthma, hay fever & fear of flying. AND I KNEW WHY. I then resolved to read the book, which I did. Since I combined it with actual experience, I could see immediately what Mr. Hubbard had observed, developed & codified. I decided to read more of his philosophy until such time as it didn't make sense or didn't work. Here I am years later - never suffering again from the asthma. Everyone remarks how amazingly vigorous my life style is & how youthful I appear. I owe this to the technology of Dianetics. I often reflect on how ignorant & uninformed I was until the fateful day that I decided to do something. When I look at the silly criticisms from well intended people, I actually see myself before I was lucky enough to make the right choice. Read Dianetics, but more importantly do it.

Summary: Space Age technology for the mind
Review: I have read this book several times and am always amazed at the contents. This is beyond your wildest dreams. What is even wilder, is it's true and it works! I've applied this technology to others to good results. Man has searched for ways to heal the mind, to heal the spirit and has tried anything from snake venom, to rattles to electric shock and all to a worsened condition or no result at all. The technology Hubbard has discovered is space age in results and yet simple to apply. This addresses YOUR personal final frontier!
This is a must read for all who are interested in bettering themselves and those around them. It answers so many questions you may already have about why life is as it is.

Summary: Dianetics
Review: Many years ago I was not doing well at all in life and I realized I needed to do something to get me out of the mess I was in. Life was rather dark. I searched for a while, I read practically every self help books I could get my hands on but was disapointed by one book after the other till I heard about this book at the radio and thought it made sense. I bought it and could not put it down, stayed up all night, no kidding! I had fianlly found something which made sense and was usable. You see I have a very scientific approach and am not the kind of person you can just tell stories to. It was like if someone was giving me answers after answers to questions that had haunted me for years. What a relief that was. Well, this book changed my life for the better since that day. This books gives you a complete understanding of yourself. And also a way to help someone who needs help, what type of help, well, have you ever had sad things happened to you that you cannot get your mind off of? Have you ever had life situations which you are not succeeding at surmounting? Lost any love ones which created a pain that is not healing? Or is life just becoming something you can't stand anymore? It is not possible for me to list all the ways this book can help you. I have helped people time and time again with this book. So, if you are looking for honest help, you've found it. I cannot possibly tell you how precious it is for you to read this book. It is a real adventure!

Summary: The most useful book ever written
Review: Most of us live a quietly desperate life: we go to work, we go home, we pay the bills, we take care of the kids, pick up the dry-cleaning, and don't have much more to look forward to. Is that all there is to life? Why aren't we free to live the life we want? What's holding us back? How do we break free?DIANETICS explains all that: what's holding us back, why we sometimes say or do things we don't mean to, why we're not doing as well as we want to. L. Ron Hubbard exposes the real source of pain and insanity, and a lot more. He also teaches us how to reverse our downward spiral and grow, as beings, to no end. When you apply the data in this book (receive Dianetic auditing), you'll get acquainted and learn to know the most fascinating person in the world: YOU. It's the most riveting journey you'll ever take and having embarked upon it, you'll never want to stop. Those who criticize this book don't understand it or don't want people to do well in life. This IS the road out. The ONLY REAL road out. I've been on this road for a while and have turned into the person I was sure I could never be. I'm having more fun now than I dreamed possible. All I can say is thank you LRH.

Review: This book finally sorts out all the confusion about the difference between the mind and the brain. They are not the same.
I have used the methods described in the book to get rid of unwanted emotions and habits. It is simple and VERY effective. If you want to gain a lasting, more postive attitude towards life, have a happier family life and be more in control of your own life, buy this book.

Summary: Dianetics - a great book
Review: Wow, what an incredible book! After finishing the whole book, I felt a much higher understanding of my own mind and man in general. I don't get as upset about people who do things that don't make sense, because I understand them better. I am definitely going to be reading more books by L. Ron Hubbard and getting some of this counseling.

Summary: Dianetics is a Miracle!
Review: I have read the Dianetics book 3 times now and have gone to the Dianetics Foundation and completed my own certification as Dianetics counselor.
The book was difficult to read at first but I did as the important note at the beginning says and read the book with the use of a dictionary. It took me about 2 months to complete the book the first time and I had numerous realizations about myself and others that helped me to get a better handle on my own problems I had in dealing with others. EVERYONE needs to read this book.
