Scientology Handbook |
| Imagine a handbook that gives solutions to the 19 most troubled areas in life... A book so practical and easy that you would only need to read and follow steps "1, 2, 3" and see immediate results. Something covering the full spectrum of living — from overcoming stress and barriers in the workplace to relationships and recovering from illnesses and injuries. And best of all, these techniques would be time-tested, proven and workable solutions that anyone can pick up and apply. Yes, this book does indeed exist! This book is uniquely laid out so that you first learn the theory of the problem, including the real reason for this problem, and then learn the solution and actual techniques to address it and handle it for good! In one of the chapters you will learn the discovery behind the number-one reason why a marriage falls apart. It has nothing to do with "conflicting personalities" or "communication breakdowns". In fact, this reason lies behind why one would have these in the first place! Only by knowing and handling this one factor can you be assured that your marriage or relationship has the best possible chance of becoming a long-term success. And you are given exact techniques to help you do so! And so it is — chapter by chapter covering the most problematic and troubled areas you face in life. There is literally nothing in this book that you will not come across in the daily action of living. 19 Chapters Containing the Basics of Life
MarriageWhere once the marriage and family were the stable foundations upon which all else was built, today its shattered remnants are the source of much of what troubles people today. And while marriages still outnumber divorces, the gap is rapidly closing. In this section you will discover methods to make any relationship work, why many relationships fail, how to discover if partners are well suited to each other, and how to save a failing marriage. While our magazines are filled with the advice of "pop" psychologists, the trend has only worsened. Here are real solutions — workable solutions — that can be applied to improve any intimate relationship. Self-Esteem, Integrity and HonestyWhat causes people to lower their self-esteem and withdraw from participation in life? A carefree child grows reserved and wary as a teenager. A successful career woman who leaves one personal relationship after the other suffers from lack of self-esteem. A retired man looks back at his life with regret over the choices he made. In this section, you will discover how to improve your self-esteem as well as zest for life! Overcoming Job Stress and Conflicts Plummeting productivity, massive layoffs, sour relations between management and labor, executive incompetence and dishonest business dealings all plague the workplace. It is small wonder that the act of work is a source of stress and anxiety for millions. How to find a job, how to increase job efficiency and productivity, how to handle upsets and confusion in the workplace and how to overcome exhaustion are all matters that concern both the laborer and the manager. This section contains some of the wide array of principles and techniques L. Ron Hubbard developed for application on the job. Understanding and Predicting What People will Do How often have you heard someone say, "I don't understand him"? Sometimes irrational, unforeseen acts seem to be the norm among our fellows. The fact is, there has never been a workable method to invariably predict human behavior — until now. By understanding and using the information in this chapter, all aspects of human relationships will become more productive and more fulfilling to you. How to Resolve Conflicts It seems that people often have trouble getting along together. Families argue, neighbours come to blows, countries lob weapons at each other. Is this the way it has to be? In this chapter, you will discover how to resolve differences and restore peaceable relations. Stress from the Dangerous Environment We live in a perilous world, a dangerous environment. Watch television news or read your daily newspaper and you are subjected to a daily diet of robberies, rapes, riots, murders, fires, earthquakes, floods and famines. In this section, L. Ron Hubbard dissects this phenomenon of the dangerous environment, providing methods that will not only help you overcome this phenomenon, but allow you to help others. Planning for the Future How does one get things done? How does one make a dream a reality or carry a plan through to completion? Many of us seem to have unrealized goals or incomplete plans and many of us face tasks that appear overwhelming, even impossible to achieve. This is true not only of individuals, but of companies and even countries. History is filled with failed projects. In this section, you will discover how to attain literally any goal, large or small. Communication"A man is as alive as he can communicate," L. Ron Hubbard wrote. Your communication skills are essential in any sphere of human interaction. In fact, when all is said and done, on whatever level, communication is the sole activity that you share with everyone else. In this section you will learn what good communication consists of and how to recognize the bad, what the component parts of communication are and how to utilize them, and why more communication, not less, brings the individual greater freedom. Understanding Life The self-improvement shelves of bookstores, the airwaves and self-help speakers who travel the lecture circuit all offer myriad solutions to the problems of understanding life. Yet the endless stream of man's difficulties still do not resolve. This chapter goes beneath all these "solutions" to provide the basic knowledge of what actually constitutes understanding. What can you do with this knowledge? By knowing what understanding really is, you have the tools to handle life itself. This means that you have the tools to increase your understanding of just about anything — including the people you know and come into contact with. Answers to Drugs To say that drugs have become the major problem in society is not stating the situation too strongly. No sector of life is untouched by this epidemic. Crime and violence are the most obvious byproducts, but ruined lives are no less serious and just as widespread. And the problem is not limited to street drugs; the effects of psychiatric drugs, whether painkillers, tranquilizers or "antidepressants," are as disastrous. This section contains the data on the solution to the drug problem, including steps you can take to help anyone get off drugs. Illnesses and InjuriesPeople sometimes get hurt in the business of living. The human body is subject to disease, injuries and various mishaps of accidental or intentional character. Throughout the ages, religions have attempted to relieve man's physical suffering. Methods have ranged from prayer to the laying on of hands, and many superstitions arose to account for their occasional effectiveness. It has been a commonly held belief, however, no matter the method used, that the spirit can have an effect on the body. The fact is, after any necessary medical treatment, the individual himself has an enormous capacity to influence the body and its well-being or lack of it. In this chapter, you'll learn several procedures to relieve physical conditions quickly. Depression Why are some people ill more often than others? Why are some accident-prone? And is there a reason others live their lives on an emotional seesaw, doing well one day and badly the next? There is an explanation, and it has nothing to do with fate or the position of the stars. In fact, the actual reason behind these phenomena — and their resolution — has been explained in Scientology. In this chapter, you will find out the reason for ups and downs in life, how to recognize people who wish you ill and those who should be your friends. Ethics and the Conditions How do you know if what you are doing is right or wrong? When you see dishonest men hold power, criminals go free and traditional values cast aside, maybe you feel that you should take the easy way out. With many pressures pushing and pulling at you, how can you be sure that your choices will be best for yourself, your family and every aspect of your life and future? L. Ron Hubbard achieved a remarkable breakthrough in the field of ethics which included not only simplification and codification of the subject, but development of a workable technology with applicability to our daily lives, one which brings about increased happiness, prosperity and survival. Finding the true cause of things Many people go through life in a rather hit-or-miss fashion, casting about ideas to explain why their projects improve or decline, why they are successful or why they are not. Guesses and "hunches," however, are not very reliable. And without the knowledge of how to actually investigate situations, good or bad, and get the true facts, you are set adrift in a sea of unevaluated data. In this chapter, you'll learn the first truly effective way to search for and consistently find the actual cause for things. Public Relations in Life No matter how worthwhile your purpose or activity, you can't just depend on the agreement and cooperation of others. Unless your purposes are made known and real, there is little reason for others to support your efforts. Public relations is the method you can use to get that support. In this chapter, you'll learn the basic tools that you can use to gain agreement and cooperation from others to any worthwhile purpose. ChildrenHow to raise a happy, healthy child is not something most parents are taught. In fact, many just stumble through the entire process, with the best intentions. Consequently, it is all too common to find an unhappy state of affairs in families, with constant friction between parents and children. In this section, you will discover how to raise a child without breaking his spirit, how to have a child who is willing to contribute to the family, and how to help a child quickly get over the daily upsets of life. The Technology of Study Consider this for a moment: In all your schooling, did anyone ever teach you how to study something? Today, people are graduating school unable to read or write at a level adequate to hold a job or deal with life. It is a huge problem. It is not that subjects cannot be learned; what isn't taught is how to learn. It is the missing step in all education. This section contains the basics of Study Technology developed by Mr. Hubbard, it contains fundamentals that you can use to study anything more effectively. Right or Wrong?For millennia, Man has attempted to assess his place in this material world. How should you relate to the rest of life, and to your fellows? What are your true responsibilities, and to whom? Definitive answers were not forthcoming, not from the ancient Greeks, nor from the materialist thinkers of recent times. The principles in this chapter solve the ancient moral dilemma of right and wrong and bring about a new level of rationality. You'll be able to align the various factors of your existence, invariably make the right decisions and achieve a new perspective on the directions available in life. Basics of Organizing Anybody recognizes that if things were better organized, people would be better off. We have all had experiences with bureaucratic red tape, impersonal government agencies or careless commercial enterprises. The problem of poor organization is serious and costs trillions in waste, inefficiency and lowered productivity. Organization is a key factor in personal success and it is also a necessity for a flourishing family. Attainment of goals, no matter how small or how large, requires a knowledge of organization. This chapter contains the basic principles of organizing anything in life. The Scientology Handbook

"The first thing I would comment on is how useful this book is. A friend of mine showed this book to me. "The first thing that jumped out at me was a section called 'Conditions of Existence'. Basically, we are all in a certain condition, by using what was in this chapter I was able to improve my condition, not only at work but in my marriage!
