The Problems of Work contains the senior principles and laws which apply to every endeavor, every problem of work.
For they are the discoveries which lay bare the core of these problems and explain the very fabric of life itself.
Life is composed of seven-tenths work, one-tenth familial, one-tenth political and one-tenth relaxation. Here, then, is Scientology applied to that seven-tenths of existence including the answers to Exhaustion and the Secret of Efficiency.
The Problems of Work contains the application of the Scientology® principles to the workaday world.
By use of these principles, work ceases to be mere drudgery, stress and exhaustion, and becomes a stable, productive activity filled with purpose and personal satisfaction.
As an understanding of life is necessary to fully live it, so is an understanding of work necessary to successfully do it. This book contains drills and procedures you can use to immediately increase ability and competence at work.

The Adventure Behind the Adventure
This is the story of how Ron discovered the reactive mind and developed the procedures to get rid of it. Originally written for a national magazine — published to coincide with the release of Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health — it started a wildfire movement virtually overnight upon that book’s publication. Here then are both the fundamentals of Dianetics as well as the only account of Ron’s two-decade journey of discovery and how he applied a scientific methodology to the problems of the human mind. He wrote it so you would know.
Now available in paperback.

Mr. Hubbard granted this interview to explain how he arrived at his discoveries on the mind, spirit and life and to answer those most commonly asked questions: What is Scientology? Why is it a religion? And how do people benefit from it?

What causes people to 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.
There is a reason for these all-too-common scenarios. They don’t “just happen,” nor are they subject to fate. L. Ron Hubbard amassed a huge body of research which squarely addresses and resolves the underlying reason for withdrawal from others and loss of integrity. And he developed a precise way for you to help individuals regain their feelings of honesty and self-worth. Broken dreams and regret about the past do not have to continue to pull people away from involvement in the present.
This booklet is invaluable in helping you to lead a happier life.

To say that drugs have become the major affliction of 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 amorality, aborted educations and, indeed, ruined lives are no less serious and just as widespread. And the problem is not limited to street drugs; the effects of medical and psychiatric drugs, whether painkillers, tranquilizers or “antidepressants,” are as disastrous.
L. Ron Hubbard addressed this problem, not with the objective of resolving the physical ills of individuals but as a continuation of his quest to free man as a spirit and handle, along this route, any barrier that needed to be resolved. Drugs were such a barrier. This is cutting edge information you don't want to pass by.
