Interesting theory, but completely pseudoscientific.
I've been fascinated by Hubbard and Scientology for a long time but haven't read "Book one" until now. Well, now I have, and Hubbard's theory is an interesting one. Unfortunately, it's not true. It has been disproven in scientific tests.

What strikes me most about the book is the confidence with which Hubbard presents his theory. He claims it's a proven science and refers to experiments. Still there's not one single source to back up his claims. The reader must take his word for it. This contradicts something Hubbard writes in the book: "A science that depends on Authority alone is a breath in the wind of truth and is therefore no science at all." About this, he is right. And Dianetics has not proven itself to be true. It is based only on Hubbard's claims, and is thus a pseudoscience.

Hubbard also writes some quite offensive things, such as that a society which accepts perversion, including homosexuality, doesn't deserve to survive. He also writes about certain "primitive" people, such as the Zulus, that the only reason the Zulu is not in the madhouse is that his tribe doesn't have any madhouses.

I recommend the books to those who want to understand what Dianetics is and what Scientology evolved from. Those who are looking for a self-help book that actually works should look elsewhere. Were it not for the Church of Scientology I doubt this book would have been in print for the last forty years or so.

Not a wise purchase
This is a poorly written book. Jargon is introduced for no reason other than to confuse the reader into thinking the book is deeper than it is. The book makes a miriad of claims but does not support them in what anyone would consider a remotely accurate manner.

weird
This book was somewhat entertaining because it is so filled with pseudo science as to be really laughable, I gave it one star for the laugh. If you are reading for science, find a writer with credentials.
