Product Description
If you've ever felt there was something holding you back in life, ruining your plans and stopping you from being who you want to be, you were right. The fact is, there is a single source of all your problems, stress, unhappiness and self-doubt.

It's the only thing that does. With over 20,000,000 copies in dozens of languages, Dianetics has remained a bestseller for more than fifty years.

 weird August 27, 2008
This book was somewhat entertaining because it is so filled with pseudo science as to be really laughable, I gave it one star for the laugh. If you are reading for science, find a writer with credentials.
Bad Science August 15, 2008
7 out of 9 found this review helpful
As a science teacher, I would be horrified if any of my students read this book and took it seriously. This isn't just bad science, it's bad science fiction. The methodology lacks any sound scientific foundation and the writing style disjointed and hard to follow. There are much better treatments of psychology and psychiatry out there and I would recommend any of them before recommending ths one. Oh, and by the way Amazon - if you're not a tool of Scientology, you won't delete this review like you did so many other negative reviews of this book.
 Great and Helpful Book August 10, 2008
2 out of 6 found this review helpful
Hi, this book is wonderful and helped me a lot with my life. The first time I started to read it, I did not understand it, but after reading Dissemination and Truth, the London Evening Lectures by L Ron Hubbard, Dianetics made more sense to me. I am trying to find someone in New Jersey, USA, who read the book and is interested in trading auditing with me as taught in this book. Please, no offers to sell me anything. But if you are trustworthy and willing to audit me I will be willing to audit you -- we can chat first, etc. robertfried@yahoo.com
Handbook for dangerous cult August 6, 2008
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
This is a handbook for a dangerous cult written by a third-rate science fiction writer. Of course, you are only in danger if you have a lot of money and celebrity, and can reach the highest, most expensive, levels.
Where is the science? July 31, 2008
14 out of 16 found this review helpful
The book purports to be a science of mental health. Unfortunately, I can find no science in this book. I can find a lot of jargon and conjecture but nothing that would give me any hint the author subjected his conjecture to the rigors of scientific testing. Without reference to scientific literature, the book is indistinguishable from something written by a guy who sat at his typewriter for a couple all nighters and banged out 300 pages of jargon.
