Released on May 9, 1950, Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health became an overnight publishing sensation. Immediately hitting the New York Times bestseller list and remaining there for 26 consecutive weeks. So great was the excitement that, virtually overnight, some 750 Dianetics groups sprang up across the United States generating what was, quite literally, a wildfire grass-roots movement. It also generated an unprecedented wave of popular demand for personal instruction from its author, L. Ron Hubbard. Consequently, and within weeks of the book's initial publication, L. Ron Hubbard was traveling coast to coast, lecturing to tens of thousands of new readers on his discoveries and their application. To provide for still greater numbers he could not otherwise hope to reach, he soon directed the lectures be recorded so they could be further reproduced for one and all. So came his lecture to a packed Municipal Auditorium in Oakland, California. It stands today as the first recorded spoken word on the breakthrough technology of Dianetics. Since then, decade after decade, Dianetics has continued to appear on bestseller lists world over with tens of millions of copies now in circulation. Moreover, the movement Dianetics inspired now spans every culture, across every continent, in over 50 languages of Earth. As L. Ron Hubbard said in Dianetics: "You are beginning an adventure. Treat it as an adventure. And may you never be the same again." Here, then, is where that adventure began, an exploration into Terra Incognita-the mind.

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. There is an actual mechanism which makes people withdraw from relationships, from families, groups and, indeed, their dreams. And such situations can be remedied. In this section, you will discover how you can help others regain their integrity - and their zest for life. It is a new view of an old problem, and what it means is that you no longer need to sit on the sidelines and helplessly observe the anguish of others. Instead, you will have in your hands tools which thoroughly resolve such misery.

This book follows L. Ron Hubbard's earlier title "Dianetics". It covers additional developments in the field of Dianetics. Built around the Hubbard Chart of Human Evaluation, Science of Survival provides the first accurate prediction of human behavior. Included on the chart are all the manifestations of an individual's survival potential graduated from highest to lowest. Knowing only one or two characteristics of a person and using this chart, you can plot his or her position on the Tone Scale (which is decribed in detail in the book) and thereby know the rest, obtaining an accurate index of their entire personality, conduct and character. Before this book the world was convinced that cases could not improve but only deteriorate. Science of Survival presents the idea of different states of case and the brand-new idea that one can progress upward on the Tone Scale. And therein lies the basis of today's Grade Chart.

Help pervades every part of life. Yet few people realize the degree to which it determines their survival. For the willingness to give and receive help lies at the foundation of all human reactions and behavior. How does one increase a person's confidence, improve his ability to communicate with others and heighten his interest in life? The answers all start with help, and they are contained in a series of techniques so effective they can practically "awaken the dead." Indeed, help runs so deeply in human beings that even disabilities, accidents, criminality and social disturbance can be understood within its frame of reference. Thus, quite in addition to their benefits for a single individual is the enormous value of these discoveries for communities as a whole. A society that understands and applies the principles L. Ron Hubbard delineates will accomplish a tremendous resurgence in the capabilities of its people, thereby elevating the entire civilization. Here, then, are newly discovered and powerful truths with an almost unlimited potential for good.
