How the subconscious mind is affecting you. Find out.
The book exactly explained the mechanics of the human mind. It is easy to read as it has glossary at the back. I highly recommend this book. Mr. Hubbard is a genius for discovering what he discovered and wrote all in this book.

Saved my life
This book saved my life.When I first read it, I ran to my best friend: “There’s a way to have more joy and happiness in life — the book explains how. Let’s try it.”She shook her head. “God wants us to suffer. Happiness isn’t something to chase.”That was the first time our opinions diverged. I changed my worldview after reading Dianetics. She stayed on her path.Five years later, she was no more. Her pursuit of suffering led her to the ultimate one. If I hadn’t read this book, I would have followed.Now, years later, I got the audiobook. Some ideas hit even harder this time around. But the core of what changed my life was already there: a real explanation for why I’d feel anxious, lose sleep, or just feel “meh” for no reason. It worked — within the first few hours of applying it, my anxiety lifted. Not because I talked myself out of it. It just dissipated.Like any self-improvement, Dianetics takes self work. No magic pill. But if I hadn’t put in that work, I wouldn’t be here to write this.I hope this helps someone choose life.

One of the Best Decisions of My Life
A friend offered this book to me in college. I told him I was glad for him but it wasn’t for me—or so I thought.A few months later I began having difficulty with an area of my life. When my friend found out he offered to help me with Dianetics. Why not, I thought.Turns out it was one of the best decisions of my life. Not only was I able to locate and resolve the cause of my difficulty, but I realized the fact that I had a Reactive Mind—which was capable of ruining my life—and more importantly I could get rid of it, which ultimately I did by attaining the state of Clear.Needless to say I recommend reading this book.

Don’t waste your time
I picked this up because a friend mentioned it, and I really regret wasting my time. The book is filled with made-up terms, long-winded explanations, and zero scientific backing. It claims to help you get rid of all your emotional pain, but never actually explains how in a way that makes any real sense. It just repeats the same ideas over and over using weird language like “engrams” and “auditing” like we’re supposed to accept it without question.It also takes every chance to bash actual science and therapy while offering nothing useful in return. The tone is arrogant and preachy, like Hubbard is trying to start a movement instead of actually helping anyone. Honestly, it felt more like propaganda than self-help.If you’re genuinely looking for something to help with mental health or personal growth, I’d recommend almost anything else. This was a waste of time and money.

Vital reading to understand how the mind works… and how to be – effortlessly – happier!
This is an excellent book, and a really nice edition, with a comprehensive glossary/dictionary in the back of the book. (That’s essential, since there are a lot of Dianetic-specific words that should be fully understood to get the most from this.)The only reason I’m giving this four stars is because the edition that I received is too tightly bound. That is, the type (words) on the page go too far down towards the spine of the book. That’s a printing/layout issue, and has nothing to do with Hubbard’s tremendous insights and discoveries.While this book can be daunting to get through, simply because the volume of information – and how intricately it’s presented – it’s vital reading to understand the core concepts of Scientology.Though I found books like “The Problems of Work” and “Self Analysis” to be easier reading – even “Scientology 8008” was simpler to grasp – there’s no disputing the importance of this presentation of Dianetics, and its effectiveness.

Dianetics makes sense
Dianetics seems like such a simple thing. It makes sense. It feels like there is a way to not feel haunted or crazy anymore. I need and want this. I’m going to do this.

A Life-Changing Read That Helped Me Finally Understand My Anxiety
The first time I read Dianetics was during my first deployment back in the late ’80s. At the time, it made an impression, but I didn’t fully grasp how relevant it was to what I was going through. It wasn’t until I revisited the book recently that everything clicked.For over three decades, I carried a constant undercurrent of anxiety and stress—something I thought was just part of life after military service. But digging back into Dianetics, I began to understand the real source of those feelings. L. Ron Hubbard clearly lays out the discovery and structure of the reactive mind and how it quietly shapes our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.What stood out to me is that this isn’t just theory—Dianetics provides a step-by-step, practical method for confronting and resolving the emotional burdens of the past. It helped me connect the dots between past experiences and my present mindset in a way no other book has.If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or are dealing with anxiety, you might be carrying emotional baggage you’re not even aware of—just like I was. This book helped me find clarity, and I truly believe it can help others too. If you’re looking for a way to improve your mental well-being, I strongly recommend giving Dianetics a read.

Dianetics Removes all of someone’s pain from their entire lifetime.Provides a perspective on Life unlike any other.Dianetics is a method of erasing all the pain out of a persons lifetime.You can understand that if a person didn’t have any pain in his lifetime, he’d be a fairly happy person wouldn’t he? Well in Dianetics you just erase all the pain out of his lifetime and he’s well.I think of it in simple terms: you can convert the pain of a lifetime to happiness and sanity.A Validated method of increasing sanity and intelligence quotient.Dianetics has increased my entire perspective on Life, why people are stupid and why people have so many severe mental illnesses. I’ve seen engrams of my father being dramatized, realized why my sister is constantly sick and why she screams. I’ve found a solution to increase my intelligence, knowingness (what I called wisdom) and a new technology which I can apply to help others to become smarter, more rational and healthy. I could go on and on about all the discoveries I’ve gained through Dianetics. Dianetics has helped bring awareness to my surroundings. I also look better at work because I’m more in action instead of in apathy (like some coworkers), so it got me promoted (I got promoted 7 times in 4 months).It helped me to understand people I didn’t understand (I used to think they are just stupid). It gave me the reasons why I was acting irrational in certain situations, because I understand where these irrationalities are coming from. Instead of just letting these irrationalities surface, knowing about their solutions taught me to control my reactions and use what I’ve learned.I finally found a Proven solution where I can make a difference in my life and I want to start using it more in my life to further improve things and improve the people around me.A proven technology not requiring Faith, unlike unproven psychology and psychiatry.Being a devout Christian, Dianetics re-affirmed the New Testament and shows why ideologies like Islam and communism cause their people to apostasy, running and clawing out of the depression of a totalitarian system built on violence and media deception to their citizens, how it fails by the death of people under it. Terror and Deception by a government only creates death. Dianetics may not mention any ideologies specifically, but through the “science of mind”, explains the inner workings and reasons why people do what they do and what causes an individual to do so.
