This audiobook reinforces the Original Thesis. Clarifies some of the questions you may have had. It also includes a book with the terminology and definitions. Clear examples are presented and discussed.

Hubbard wrote this book to create a better and clear understanding of the main subject of Dianetics for the public to learn how the research came about. He keeps it very simple and straight forward in a way that every one can get it. It is in fact a major breakthrough in the science of understanding how the mind works and how it can be cleaned of the clutters that inhibits us to have a full awareness of what are the causes of our stress, fears, anxieties and depression. It is unlike any other self help book ever written on the subject for the main purpose of reaching the common man to live a fuller and heppier life. Don't underestimate it by its simplicity. Read this book first and then read Dianetics, the modern science of mental health, and you will never be the same, nor will you ever agree with the falsehood that has saturated our environment regarding the sources of our troubles.

Despite the fascinating data in this book or because of it, I now have more questions than the book provided answers for. Now I will have to read more of L Ron Hubbard's books and hope I can find the answers to the questions this book raised. I would have preferred more depth to this book, but that's just me. Inquiring minds and all that...

I would recommend a person read this before they read Dianetics, because this book explains the foundational principles of what would later be known as Dianetics (reactive mind versus the analytical mind, how past trauma interferes with present day, etc.)

Would also recommend the book Fundamentals of Thought as well by L. Ron Hubbard.

Fantastic! If you want to find out more about yourself and others then read this book and others by L.R. Hubbard. I assure you If your looking for answers you have come to the right place.

Hubbard wrote this book prior to the publication of his complete text entitled 'Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health'. It was an introduction to this brand new subject, and it gives a great overview of the basics of Dianetics. Here one can get a good understanding of how the mind works, and how it causes man so much unhappiness, and how this can be resolved quite easily. You can see Hubbard's early discoveries and how these led him to his brilliant research that brought into being an entirely new science. 'Dianetics: The Evolution of a Science' is a layman's text on how the mind is structured so that one can do something about it! This book is a very good preamble to 'Dianetics the Modern Science of Mental Health', and I highly recommend it. This is Hubbard's concise introduction to the subject. You will enjoy this book if you haven't read it.

This book opened my eyes. That's all I can say about that. If you want to open your eyes I highly recommend this book.

This book covers the background of Dianeics - how it all began. It gives the basics of Dianetic therapy, the basics of how the mind works, a concise explanation of what occurs when people are injured, and how this negatively affects us. And what to DO about it!

I highly recommend this for anyone interested in the mind, and who is curious about Dianetics.

Good book, fascinating concepts. I thought that I was getting the "unabridged" version, but that seems not to be the case. Although this version describes briefly what Mr. Hubbard's science is and how it came to be, I was disappointed in it's cursory nature.
