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 Whenever I need a lift I read this book., June 9, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Scientology, a new slant on life (Hardcover)

The new slant on life is one of my favorite books by Mr.Hubbard.
It has such a pleasantly inspiring way of explaining the simple
truths that make life worth living. If I am feeling out of sorts
I start reading this book and in no time at all I am feeling good
again.

I recommend you read this book and keep it by your bedside to pick
up frequently. The more I read it the more I like it. Few books
are like this. One's that are become classics to be handed down
the generations. Our children need this information. Don't miss
out on the beautiful wisdom shared by one of this century's most
admired humanitarians.

This book was really easy to read and made so much sense. It gave me such basic tools to living a happy life. After reading it, I have found I am a lot less grumpy and can handle annoying situations a lot better. It has definitely given me a New Slant on Life.
