Here are some testimonials from people who have read and used Dianetics: the Modern Science of Mental Health  from the Australian Dianetics web site

Dianetics has given me certainty and ability, it has given me confidence and well being. Dianetics has changed my life for the better, it's that simple

         Before Dianetics I believed that nothing could be done about the problems of  ife, now I have handled the problems and just keep winning?

I found an excellent descripiton of Dianetics on the Scientology Theology web site.

L. Ron Hubbard's path to the founding of the Scientology religion began with certain discoveries he made in his research into the nature of man. He announced his findings in 1948 as "Dianetics," a word which means "through the soul" or what the spirit is doing to the body.

With Dianetics, Mr. Hubbard discovered a previously unknown and harmful part of the mind which contains recordings of past experiences of loss, pain and unconsciousness in the form of mental image pictures. These incidents of spiritual trauma are recorded along with all other experiences of one's life in sequential order on what Scientologists call the time track.

Dianetics: the Evolution of a Science is available for reading online.

This book was written just before the publication of Dianetics: the Modern Science of Mental Health and explains how L. Ron Hubbard carried out the research resulting in Dianetics.

I found it fascinating reading.

It is always an incredible adventure to give or receive Dianetics auditing.

I remember,  before I got into Scientology, wishing I could recall my past lives.  I would read books about people who could do so, and regarded them with awe.

But when I started to receive Dianetics auditing my own past became really clear to me.

I've also audited a lot of other people on Dianetics.

It is always an adventure, always surprising, what causes the problems we live with is never what you think they were, and when you get down to what really happened, no matter how bleak it may have seemed at first, it's always a relief, and usually quite funny!

On October 7th, look for this year's annual Dianetics Book-a-Thon.

Scientology churches and missions and Dianetics counseling groups all over the world will be out in force, helping people locate the major points of stress in their lives, and how Dianetics can help them overcome this.

Last year there were 49,000 Dianetics books sold, the weekend of the Book-a-Thon.

This year promises to be even more!

One of the hardest things to live with is the feeling of loss. 

I remember my first broken heart.  It took me years to get over it.  And frankly, if it weren't for Dianetics, I don't know if I ever would have fully recovered from it. 

But I can hardly conceive what the people of Java have had to come to grips with over the past two months.  First a devastating earthquake that left 1.5 million homeless, then a tsunami that killed hundreds.

There is a team of Scientology Volunteer Ministers in Java who have been helping the emergency relief agencies there since the earthquake happened in May. 

One thing they are doing is seminars in Dianetics techniques so people can help their families and neighbors overcome the loss they've experienced.

It's hard enough to pick up the pieces of your life after being hit with such a catastrophe.  But to try to do so when you are suffering from the loss of people you loved....

Scienotology has so much application to circumstances like this.
