A leading light of American Pulp Fiction through the 1930s and '40s, he is recognized as one of the most influential authors of the modern age. His impact is evident as many masters of imaginative tales have paid tribute to his work. Hubbard is also distinguished as the Founder of Dianetics and Scientology, the only major religion born in the 20th century, embodying the culmination of science and spiritual technology.

The book starts with an introduction of basic concepts of how the mind works and what it takes to improve its performance. Secondly it contains a chart which is very helpful in predicting the behavior of others (i.e. who can you trust or not), and it contains a number of processes which you can do with yourself to improve memory and well-being.

This is where positive thinking becomes a reality. It is quite easy to do and shows results quite fast.
You can live life and learn of life, but life will never be truly comprehensible to you, no matter how much you live, unless you know the basics of life itself contained in Scientology 8-8008. These basics are nothing less than the foundation upon which rest all your hopes and dreams and any beauty you will ever see or feel.
Here are the definitions of all the terms relating to auditing and the technology of Dianetics and Scientology. LRH explains the various processes, meter phenomena, incidents on the track, and components of the mind and material universe. Each definition lists the reference it was taken from to assist in further study. Also contains numerous illustrations to clarify terms and principles. An invaluable tool for anyone on training or studying about life.
Productivity, efficiency, time management and security in the workplace are some of the subjects are covered in this book. As L. Ron Hubbard describes in this book, life is composed of seven-tenths work, one-tenth familial, one-tenth political and one-tenth relaxation. Here, then, is Scientology applied to that seven-tenths of existence including the answers to Exhaustion and the Secret of Efficiency. Here, too, is the analysis of life itself a game composed of exact rules. Know them and you succeed. The book contains technology no one can live without, and that can immediately be applied by anyone in the workaday world.
What is Knowledge? What is Truth? And what is the Secret? If you knew the answers, you'd understand everything. Fortunately, they are within reach. The Scientology Auditor's Handbook presents the axioms and path to exteriorization and Operating Thetan, emphasizing the pivotal role of Communication. This concept serves as the "magical formula" that guides the journey out and reshapes auditing at every level. The text revisits foundational issues from Book One, applying advanced discoveries to address them. This work represents both the Second Book of Dianetics and the unification of Dianetics and Scientology, featuring a Complete Manual of Communication. It offers a comprehensive description of the Awareness Unit, now viewed from the perspective of exterior ability, and introduces a new approach to auditing focused on enhancing ability rather than diminishing it. The A-R-C Triangle is presented as a mathematical formula for resolving any question or problem in life. Additionally, it reveals the "Secret," identifying the source of Entrapment and providing the key to overcoming barriers. The Communication Formula outlines the anatomy of a communication cycle, acting as a universal solvent, while the Two-way Cycle of Communication is essential for successful auditing and daily living. This work encompasses everything from the "foreverness" of the physical universe to the effects of "silence" and the process that creates a "One-sho
