Not what I expected

I'm sure there are some good take aways from this, but I think it's mostly a novelty.

Obnoxiously repetitive

Don't hate all of it, don't agree with most of it, definitely didn't need to listen to all of it, but I did. Don't be like me.

Save your money.

unless you are looking to be an auditor and have deep pockets for training this audio book is useless .

Apparently abortion play a big part in mental issu

Apparently abortions play a big part in mental issues according to this book. That and domestic violence.

Mumbai Jumbo

Seems like a bunch of mumbo jumbo to me.
He uses so many words that you have no idea what they mean. I think he did this to make people think he was smarter than he really was and knew what he was talking about. I could I guess believe that this process could work for some but not all people. I on the other hand am not convinced this meaning Scientology is a religion and some type of science.
I think where all this got cuckoo was when greed set in with the author. Once he saw how much money he was making and could make like an other human he wanted to keep it all.
So being creative and a crook he said all this mumbo jumbo the "science of the mind" was a religion and turned the process into a church.
This way he didn't have to pay taxes on his works that had something to do this the "church".
In my opinion I think this decision is where he lost all credibility. I think that some of this meaning the process of Dianetics could work for some and help those people that believe in it.
But to think for one second that your mind is a like a memorex tape and that it has recorded every single sound, visual, motion, or anything else at any given time in your life and can be recalled all the way back to when you were in the womb or even a sperm is just completely idiotic. If this " science of the mind"
was so life changing and amazing and can help so many people then why is the world in the state it is? This discovery was discovered in 1950 and has been read by millions of people. If this was so revolutionary then why are we all not "clear" and changing the world? I will tell you why because to think for one second that with this book the processes such as auditing and spending a lot of money for "therapy" that you can become smarter, successful, never get sick, have no diseases, have no pain, no depression or anxiety is just the dumbest idea ever. I mean come on think of what you are saying. In my opinion there is no way honestly to ever become a "clear" there is no such thing. We are human and the mistakes and emotions we bare is what makes us human, and no book is ever going to change that.

Views on homosexuality and abortion

A “Clear” reached out to me and suggested I read this book and we’d discuss it. It went on for a few weeks and I got through about 50% of the book.

I’m not gay or an abortion activist but the book lost me when they are applying their moral and spiritual beliefs onto others suggesting “something is wrong” with those people.

While I have my limitations on “love is love” (because, where do we draw the line?) I also think we have absolutely no moral authority to pass judgment about others especially if it may possibly be underlying biological differences .

Don’t waste your time and money

I gave up before the book made any kind of point.

What would have made Dianetics better?

The book just rambled. I'm hoping it eventually got to a point or some sort of action plan, I just couldn't hang in there. It kept going in circles without giving any kind of real information.

What was most disappointing about L. Ron Hubbard’s story?

There was no story.

What does Lloyd Sherr bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I probably wouldn't have made it past the first page if I hadn't been plugged into an audio book and taking a walk.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment.

Hard PsyFi

A curiously thorough review on the history, concepts, and practice of a science of mind that is almost, but not quite, entirely made up.

A

A bit weird at times, especially on the views of abortion, but makes some good points on why negative thoughts arise and how to eliminate the constant arrival of negative thoughts. Unfortunately, it seems that you have get in touch with someone who understands and practices the Hypnotherapy and drug combination that this book talks about.

L. Ron Hubbard has a few obsessions...for sure

Any additional comments?

Having been a little interested in the story of Scientology (past and present) the last year or so, I thought I should make the effort to find out what this "Dianetics" was truly all about.

L. Ron Hubbard has come up with some interesting ideas - but they lack any credible evidence that would push this into the realm of "science".

And it was clear from the start that Hubbard was extremely obsessed with abortion, sex during pregnancy (with and/or without her husband) and brutality toward women.

It was very, very repetitive. But at least Hubbard explains why from the beginning - so there is no surprise.
