SCIENTOLOGY^® BOOKS

 Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, which is the best-selling self-help book of all time, is the book recommended for beginners who are interested in the mind and how it works. This book has been a bestseller for over forty years.

 In 1977, Publishers Weekly called Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health "perhaps the best-selling non-Christian book of all time in the West." In 1988, Publishers Weekly awarded Dianetics its prestigious "Century Award" for more than 100 weeks on its bestseller list, officially designating it the No. 1 best-selling self-help book of all time.

 If a person is more interested in starting with a broad summary of L. Ron Hubbard's research and findings about man as a spiritual being and basic principles of life, the first recommended book is Scientology: The Fundamentals of Thought.

 Not at all. The books are quite easy to understand. Depending on what aspect of Scientology and Dianetics you are most interested in, any church Bookstore Officer can recommend the best sequence in which the books should be read.

 All of his books are available at missions and churches of Scientology. Many of his books are also available in popular bookstores and in libraries in cities all over the world.
