Will I get anything out of reading this?

And it would be wise to start explaining to your friends and family that you won’t be around as much in the near future.

Yeah, it's pretty clever. Clearly the man was trying to cure himself. If you have patience with that in mind, and you're curious about an original take on psychotherapy, it's thoroughly interesting.

Too bad scientology has basically become a giant meme, so expect meme responses, like:

and
>>18441554

These aren't thoughts. They're memes.

Hubbard’s genius was giving you just enough to become interested, then you had to pay for the REAL info which was just more appetite-wetting for the secret clubs and higher OT ranks. The dumb keep paying, the smart don’t get involved or get out before they pay too much, and the rich just do it for the status and connections.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jun 12 22:47:22 2021 No.18442817 >>18441249 The book is surprisingly inoffensive and middlebrow. How anyone felt the need to devote themselves to something so forgettable is beyond me.
