Book Description

August 28, 1998
"You remember when you were maybe five years old and you went out in the morning and you looked at the day, and it was a very beautiful day, and you looked at the flowers and they were very beautiful flowers. Twenty-five years later you get up in the morning, you take a look at the flowers — they are wilted. They day isn’t a happy day. Well, what has changed? You know they are the same flowers, it’s the same world, something must of changed. Probably it was you." – L. Ron Hubbard, from Scientology: A New Slant on Life

Have you ever asked the question, "is it possible to be happy?"

Often sought, but seldom found, there are no riches, gems or palaces as valued as mere happiness.

But how does one achieve happiness in the here and now, for yourself and those you care about?

Introducing a book by bestselling author L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology: A New Slant on Life. This book gives spiritual knowledge that opens the door to the life you want live.

A New Slant on Life is a collection of thirty of L. Ron Hubbard’s best-loved articles and essays. Some originally appeared as magazine articles, while others are from his lectures and early radio programs; every one is a gem of wisdom and practical truth. The book’s unique flavor was best stated by L. Ron Hubbard, in his introduction to the first edition:

"Who are you anyway? Where do you come from? What will happen to you? Are you a product of the mud as you have been told, to exist for a few years and then wither away and fertilize the earth from which they said you came?

"Scientology has answers to those questions, good answers that are true, answers that work for you. For the subject matter of Scientology is you." — L. Ron Hubbard

Here’s a book that does what you don’t expect it to do — it actually gives you practical data you can apply right now to create the life you want to live. The Scientology philosophy contains new discoveries about life that have never been known before. Learn two rules for happy living. Practical secrets of success. How to achieve your goals... Read and use this book and you will see life in a whole new light. Some of the questions you will find answered in this book are:

What is the anatomy of success and failure? How can you create and maintain happiness? How can you increase understanding in any relationship? What is greatness and how can you develop greatness in yourself? Can you do anything about the twists and turns of "fate"? What does professionalism have to do with one’s happiness? How does a person cease to cause things to happen in his life? How do you raise responsible and sane children? What is the basis of marital success? What is the cause of violence and conflict between people and what works to resolve it? A New Slant on Life embraces the full range of man’s interests and activities, from the day-to-day and down-to-earth to the upper reaches of the philosophical and spiritual.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Collection of Well-Written Essays on Life--A Great Read!, September 28, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Scientology: A New Slant On Life (Mass Market Paperback)
In this book Hubbard shines as an essayist. Like the finale of a fireworks show, it's just one well-written essay after another.

With titles like, "Is it possible to be happy?" and "How to live with children," there is something in here for everyone.

While not an essay on the specifics of Scientology (see the book "What is Scientology?" for that), it does give the flavor of Scientology philosophy: an accent on ability, awareness and responsibility.

You'll feel better just reading this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is GENUINE help in a difficult world., October 21, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Scientology: A New Slant On Life (Mass Market Paperback)

I first read NEW SLANT ON LIFE in 1978. It pulled me out of the messes I had created, and it gave me the ability to change my life forever.

A lot of people and things have told us they would help, and they were not true, or they were not effective, and we felt disappointed or even betrayed.

NEW SLANT ON LIFE is true. It is genuine help, and it is possible to apply it to life. Right now. Today.

I wish you the happiness it has brought me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Many thought-provoking essays on life, December 27, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Scientology: A New Slant On Life (Mass Market Paperback)
These essays are well worth reading. I have read many, many philosophical books, and this one is presented very clearly from an obviously enlightened man. After reading this, I decided to look further into the writings of Mr. Hubbard, and I will tell you, his books are very interesting and definitely thought-provoking.

If you are like me and like to really *look* at the world, yourself, and how things really work around us, then get this book and see what all the hoopla is REALLY about!
