The Solution, the tools for mental illness

I will be listening to it again and also listen to Dianetics again also. Every doctors and professors and everyone should have the tools in this book.

worth a listen if interested in this area

a rather basic overview of the concepts of scientology but a good choice for someone who just wants to understand it a little better or for someone like me who has an interest in dozens of subjects

The word.

very well put together. pretty amazing and a very good standard to abide by. keep up the good work.

Curious So I Read It

It was Ok though I can see how these theories were popular in 1950, a few of the basics I suppose are useful.

Great intro to the mind and it's mechanics

I find it silly that people have no qualms in studying and using Calulus; a field of math created by Sir Isaac Newton in his home and not at some prestigious school.

But when it comes to a field of study about the mind discovered by self-made scientist, much like Isaac Newton, people suddenly dismiss it as quackery.

It's a fallacious approach needless to say.

This book is a great read and turned out to be extremely useful. It explains the mechanics of many behaviors I have witnessed in my life as having been irrational.

With this new understanding of self and others via the application and use of the principles outlined in this book, I feel greater peace and feel more at cause over my own life.

As a note, this isn't a book to be read glibbly. Do your best to consider your own motivations and behaviors in regards to the principles in this book to get a practical understanding of the information.

Scholarly presentation of a most workable subject

This very well-narrated book expresses basic principles of the function and repair of the human mind in intelligent and measured terms. It was written in a much more literate age; some modern readers may therefore need to make liberal use of its glossary in studying the book. Be patient, don't rush it, let the material soak in, and you will be well rewarded.

Required Reading

If you have already read (or listened to) Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, then this book will five you greater insight into the theories and research that led to Book One (DMSMH). If you have yet to read Dianetics, then start with this book. I read Dianetics first, and although I learned a lot, I wish I had first read Evolution of a Science.

Enjoy!
