Dianetics is not some positive-thinking fad or feel-better-quick scheme. It is the most powerful and effective book on the human mind ever published. While other self-help titles come and go, Dianetics has stood the test of time for over fifty-six years for one reason: It works. Pioneering in its concepts and techniques, L. Ron Hubbard's Dianetics explains how people's lives are adversely affected by the single source of all of their problems, stress, unhappiness and self-doubt - it is called the reactive mind. And Dianetics gets rid of the reactive mind. It is the only thing that does. With Dianetics, one can regain self-confidence, eliminate psychosomatic illnesses, abandon fears and obsessions, put an end to negative thoughts and unwanted feelings, and be himself again.
