Doing the Hubbard Dianetics Seminar course was very uplifting at the time because at that time I was depressed and not feeling very good about myself. I had also not been able to hang on to any faith which kept me optimistic, until I read Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health. After this I started to see life with a different view point. This was the one self-help book that gave facts and solutions instead of the typical self-hypnosis or suggestive techniques which I felt tended to cover the problem. Dianetics showed me that the core of difficulties could be reached and solved and the best thing about the course was it gave me faith in myself.
