Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Dianetics: The Original Thesis is L. Ron Hubbard’s first description of Dianetics. Originally circulated in manuscript form to a few friends, it was soon copied and passed hand-to-hand until it literally circled the globe. But the resultant word of mouth only fueled the fire. With thousands of letters requesting more information, Ron concluded the only way to answer all inquiries was with a book. That book was Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, now the all-time bestseller on the mind. Find out what started it all.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST!!!, March 3, 2010
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the audio version of "Dianetics, The Original Thesis" on the road.

I should mention that it also kept the kids off of their video games and completely engaged for miles and miles.

Whenever there was something not quite understood, we could stop the play and consult the glossary. Easy!

And, we continued to listen in the evenings once we returned home. It reminded me of pre-TV/video/computer days with the family all sitting together, enjoying the audio.

Try it yourself!

5.0 out of 5 stars I thought this book was great., March 2, 2010
I have read the book and thought it was compelling and thought provoking. I think it is worth reading. By the way, it is very well-written, and it raised my respect for the author.

I think you can use the information in the book in everyday life to understand people better, and be able to forgive them more easily when you follow the train of thought and theory about how people do what they do.
