Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health

Staff and volunteers of the Church of Scientology of Malmö take to the streets to share the good news about Dianetics with their community

Malmö-Since its grand opening in April, staff and members of the Church of Scientology of Malmö have been introducing their neighbors in the greater Malmö area to Dianetics: the Modern Science of Mental Health, and its potential for bringing about important reforms and improvements in the city.

First published in May 1950, this perennial bestseller has even more relevance today than it did 59 years ago. And nowhere more so than in the greater Malmö area.

The people of Malmö face enormous challenges. According to one recent article, unemployment in the Rosengaard district of the city is 70 percent, crime affects one of every three Malmö families each year and the number of rapes has tripled over the past 20 years.

The first step in changing any situation is understanding the underlying causes of the problem. In addition to revealing why people act the way they do and how to dramatically improve the quality of life on a one-on-one basis, Dianetics also “embraces the conditions and processes of leadership and intergroup relations,” explaining how groups, cultures and even nations become irrational. It goes on to state, “There is no national problem in the world today which cannot be resolved by reason alone.”

L. Ron Hubbard wrote Dianetics so that anyone could read it and easily learn techniques to help people overcome the most unwanted conditions in their lives. In addition to making this book broadly available, the Church of Scientology of Malmö offers Dianetics Seminars courses and profession training at its new headquarters at Sockerbruksgatan 2, Arlöv, 23 235 Malmö.

For more information, contact the Church of Scientology of Malmö or visit the Dianetics web site.

I'm reading Dianetics again, for the second time in a few months. Utterly amazing how much more I get out of it each time I read it.

I was so happy when David Miscavige released the new edition and basically told every Scientologist that their highest priority is to read the books. I've always been a book reader, but sometimes I felt like I was the only one. Now "everyone" is doing it. But this is a fad that makes everyone more an individual!

In celebration of the 58th anniversary of the release of Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, the Church of Scientology has now launched a new and interactive portal at Dianetics.org for access to testimonials, videos, excerpts, home extension courses, and all information regarding Dianetics. The launch is also supported by a national television advertising campaign. By doing so, the Church of Scientology is able to provide expansive and enlightening information to those who have questions about Dianetics.

What is Dianetics?

The culmination of decades of research, L. Ron Hubbard's "Dianetics The Modern Science of Mental Health" was released on May 9, 1950. The Dianetics book was an immediate best seller, hitting the NY Times Best Seller List where it remained for 26 consecutive weeks. It sparked a movement which today spans the globe. Further, the principals and techniques of Dianetics laid the groundwork for the Scientology religion.

I've been talking to lots of my friends who are studying the Scientology and Dianetics basic books and lectures and the wins they are having are totally cool. Makes sense, cuz that's the kind of wins I'm having too. L. Ron Hubbard was an utter genius, and I'm so glad David Miscavige put the time and manpower into getting these materials published—that are making so much difference in the lives of just about anyone I know who's read them.

The Dianetics site now has videos that show what individual people have gotten out of Dianetics. It's amazing how many things, that people really want to handle, are addressed by Dianetics. And without drugs. And for good.

I watched the introduction video on the Dianetics site again tonight. I was impressed by how much of the theory of Dianetics they were able to include in such a short video clip -- only 4 minutes long. And it's visually really compelling. Shows in images what it could take pages to explain in text. That's the beauty of video.
