More About the Author

With 19 New York Times bestsellers and more than 230 million copies of his works in circulation, L. Ron Hubbard is among the most acclaimed and widely read authors of our time. As a leading light of American Pulp Fiction through the 1930s and '40s, he is further among the most influential authors of the modern age. Indeed, from Ray Bradbury to Stephen King, there is scarcely a master of imaginative tales who has not paid tribute to L. Ron Hubbard.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone should read this book, January 10, 2005

This review is from: The Scientology Handbook (Hardcover)

I have spent 12 years on a spiritual quest, and ran into this book while doing a search term. I had heard so many negative things about Scientology, that I ignored my findings for 3 years. 3 years later, and hundreds of abandoned books, again I search, and this book comes up. So I buy it. And now I kick myself for not acknowledging it when I first discovered it.

I have read thousands of books, I read every day, I study every day, and this is by far the best practical guide to life I have ever encountered. I use the information daily. Whether it is dealing with my children, setting goals, performing nerve assists or touch assists on friends and family with pain, public relations, organization - I spent 4 days doing the practical applications in my home and in my office, and I felt lighter and free to think when the clutter was removed, marriage, and something I use with myself and taught my kids was the technology of study. The entire educational system should adopt this, and it is so easy you could do it in under a week. The cause of suppression - since reading this I have never had a cold or illness since. There is much more, and this book would make the best gift to a son or daughter heading off to college, or for any adult that is not flourishing.

Until you discover an answer for yourself, the rest is heresay and gossip.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is (or should be) the handbook of life!, January 7, 2012

This review is from: The Scientology Handbook (Hardcover)

I have been reading and researching the work of Dr Hubbard along with others for the past 20 odd years and have now and then come across individual booklets with regards to specific help to life offered by the CoS. Each of these little booklets runs about $5 or so, and are also available online in PDF format (or they used to be anyways). This book has all these booklets in it! Some topics that I have found useful are Ethics, Marriage, Communication, Study, Children and many others... Of course one of the best things is that the CoS offers free training courses for each of the modules in the book at www.volunteerministers.org, and heck - if you do them all you can be a certified volunteer minister (so much for the so called "Cult of Greed" I keep hearing about!).

Buy this book, use it, read it, live it! You do not have to be a Scientologist for this to work any more that you need to be a physicist for gravity to work! Take me as an example, not a Scientologist, am very spiritual and still this technology works for me like electricity.... flip the switch and the lights come on!

Many Blessings.

This review is from: The Scientology Handbook (Hardcover)

Why? Well, for instance the Chapter entitled 'Ethics and The Conditions'. I didn't really understand it, but if you read the Chapter 'The Technology of Study' you find out why you didn't understand it, because you weren't looking up your words in a dictionary to understand what they mean...I know, it sounds obvious, but until someone spells it out, it really isn't obvious. The whole book is like that, it seems to 'have all the answers'. It's funny you never hear about things like this on Oprah, it seems like she'd be all over it...if only Dr. Phil would start giving out practical advice like this.

I use this book a lot: There is a section on Tone Scales, which are the different tone levels people are in, cheerful, grief, apathy, etc. The book tells what you can expect of people in different tones, and how to handle them. There is...there seems to be something for everyone. You should get this book. There, I said it. I'm on record. Anyone who from this point on comes up to me and complains that I had all the answers to their problems, but I didn't share them and thus help them out is in error - as I said, this book has all the answers and I just told you to read it.
