I read this book years ago, during a time when I needed advice and some sort of tool I could use to make life better for me and my family. This one really did exactly what it promised. The book was simple and easy to understand. The content was something I felt I already knew and the author just reminded me! I have read this book a couple more times the past 20 years and still find things in it that make so much sense - this is one worth keeping for reference, and is great as a gift too.

Body Mind & Spirit December 31, 2005

This is excellent reading for anyone who is interested in understanding better how the human mind works. The connection between Body, Mind and Spirit. Who are we? How can we be happier? Why do we behave the way in which we do? These life perplexing questions are answered here. After you read this book you may realize that you are not insane after all. You may even be able to change the way in which you think about life. Or the way in which you think about things all together, which may help you to bring about positive changes in your life.

~~Great Basic Introduction to What Scientology is All About~~ June 23, 2005
15 out of 44 found this review helpful

This book is well written and straight forward. The chapers are short so you can read an entire chapter on a break at work. Each chapter covers a basic topic in Scientology. Then to top it off, if you're brave enough, in the end chapters you can learn some real Scientology counselling techniques and twin up with a friend and do them on each other! Using the techniques, you can improve your outlook on life. Something can be done about it after all! The counselling is only for the well disciplined though!

A meaty book June 4, 2005
24 out of 52 found this review helpful

This book isn't for reading while you listen to punk rock. It's a thoughtful, chewy series of meals, best enjoyed and pondered alone or with an equally quiet and absorbed-elsewhere friend.

You won't find Christianity or Buddhism here, though Hubbard often credits Eastern religions for the genesis -- not the later discoveries developments -- of his theology and weltanschauung. If you're curious to find deeper life-truths than you'll find in any other popular author -- and more understandable philosophy than you'll find in a purposefully obscure philosophy class -- then you should read Fundamentals of Thought.

Read it slowly. View the new ideas in terms of "How might this be true? When could it be true? Are there times when it applies? Times it wouldn't apply? Have I seen this at work in life?"

The first time I read Fundamentals of Thought, I didn't love it. I was looking for a more fast-food answer to the Universe. I'd paid my money and I wanted my Big Slushy Truth now, please.

Later, I read it as part of a class where I had to dig into a dictionary to see *which* meaning of some of the words the author had meant. And I wrote some short essays on the chapters and concepts, then looked for ways these new ideas might be useful in the mean ol' walk-around world where I lived, made a living, and interacted with people.

So I came to appreciate the book on my second try. I hope you are more thoughtful and exploratory on your first try than I was. This book deserves it. And it pays you back for your time.
