I loved this book. It was a fascinating, informative and useful read.

This book takes you through the mechanisms of the mind step by step, it shows by means that the reader can experience for himself, what exactly the mind is, how the mind works and what you can do to help yourself or others that are being affected by the part of the mind that reacts to things without being rational.

I got so into the book that I didn't want it to end. It explained so much not only about others around me but about myself as well - as much as I don't like to admit it.

I decided to try the technique and I can tell you from my own experience that this thing works.

As a direct result of Dianetics I no longer am haunted by past failures and losses. I no longer have self doubt and self loathing, I am far more happy and more me without all the baggage that I was carrying around with me.
Life is truly more a pleasureable experience and I am actually finding that life can be fun now.

For many years I have been interested in the mind and what makes man tick. I have never felt satisfied with the hit and miss nature of psychology (sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't, even with people troubled by the same problem), or the "solutions" of Psychiatry where a person is either given dangerous drugs or worse (ECT and lobotomy for instance among other unpleasant practices) which might make him more quiet and tractable but it certainly doesn't make him better, it doesn't get to the route of a persons problem it only masks or increases the problem.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in finding out what the mind really is, what the mind does and how to change it for the better.
