SYNOPSIS The choice of actions and decisions requires skill and wisdom, not just self-interest or just group interest. Containing 21 precepts, The Way to Happiness helps guide one in those choices encountered in life. This might be the first nonreligious moral code based wholly on common sense. FULL DESCRIPTION True joy and happiness are valuable. If one does not survive, no joy and no happiness are obtainable. Trying to survive in a chaotic, dishonest and generally immoral society is difficult. Any individual or group seeks to obtain from life what pleasure and freedom from pain that they can. Your own survival can be threatened by the bad actions of others around you. Your own happiness can be turned to tragedy and sorrow by the dishonesty and misconduct of others. I am sure you can think of instances of this actually happening. Such wrongs reduce one's survival and impair one's happiness. You are important to other people. You are listened to. You can influence others. The happiness or unhappiness of others you could name is important to you. Without too much trouble, using this book, you can help them survive and lead happier lives. While no one can guarantee that anyone else can be happy, their chances of survival and happiness can be improved. And with theirs, yours will be. It is in your power to point the way to a less dangerous and happier life.
Assists for Illnesses and Injuries People sometimes get hurt in the business of living. The human body is subject to disease, injuries and various mishaps of accidental or intentional character. Throughout the ages, religions have attempted to relieve Man's physical suffering. Methods have ranged from prayer to the laying on of hands, and many superstitions arose to account for their occasional effectiveness. It has been a commonly held belief, however, no matter the method used, that the spirit can have an effect on the body. Today, medicine treats the body when there is something wrong with it. But it overlooks almost totally the relationship of the spiritual being to his body and the effect the former has on the latter. The fact is, after any necessary medical treatment, the individual himself has an enormous capacity to influence the body and its well-being or lack of it. L. Ron Hubbard developed numerous applications of his discoveries for the mental and spiritual aspects of a person's physical difficulties. And as more and more techniques evolved, a new body of technology came into use, called "assists." The ways assists can be applied are almost limitless. They always help and often have miraculous results. Dozens of assists exist today for a wide array of conditions, and several of the most basic and widely used are included in this booklet. Simple, easily applied methods to alleviate pain and discomfort. Contains the most used Scientology assists which have produced many miracles. * How do you speed an injured person's recovery? * What do you do to make a drunk person sober? * How do you bring relief to someone who is ill?

The fact is, up to now the mysteries of the mind have not been fully understood and certainly not with any scientific precision. The fields of mental healing have been prone to "best guesses" while depression and anxiety still have no clear answer--until now. A simple, easy technique has been developed which allows you to address a range of undesirable emotions, reactions and attitudes toward life. It is by far the easiest and most enjoyable self betterment technique available and most importantly, it works. In fact, it was originally released in 1951 but is still relevant in today's modern age. Before you begin on your path of self discovery, it's important to gauge your current emotional condition. This next section will show you how. How to Measure Your Potential for Success Contrary to popular belief, your youthful and energetic attitude toward life never actually goes away. Rather, it is buried by the physical and emotional pain and stresses of your past. Each negative incident you run into through life will drive your emotional condition lower, and each success will move it up. When you have too much negativity and not enough success in your past, you wind up deeply depressed and unable to function in life. The events of the past have an affect on your present emotional state. By using the Self Analysis program, you will begin to remove this negative energy. Your outlook and happiness will grow as you unburden past emotional trauma and losses. You also gain a more positive attitude toward yourself and your abilities. Thus, you will get back in control of your life and future, instead of being stuck in the shadows of your past. With the Self Analysis program, there is a simple and effective technique that anyone can use to systematically relieve the negative emotional energy that has built up in your mind and rise up on the chart. The program is composed of self processing. What is Self Processing? The technique we are discussing here is not "positive thinking," brain exercises, meditation or self-hypnosis. You may have tried some of these techniques before, and even achieved some benefit. But they do not get to the source of the problem--often the gains fade and you find yourself in the same place you started. It is possible to desensitize the harmful "charge" from incidents in your past. One way this is done is by moving your attention to pleasurable incidents by using the self processing technique below. Unlike positive affirmations or mantras, your concentration will be in recalling actual incidents in your past. It is remarkably simple to do yet quite powerful. In addition to discharging the negative emotional effects of the past, your personal abilities can also dramatically increase. Imagine being able to finally step out of the shadows of the past and into the vibrant light of the present with sharper senses and renewed vigor for life Begin the Adventure of Self Discovery How does one go about the self processing technique? The full regimen and instructions are contained in the book, Self Analysis by L. Ron Hubbard. L. Ron Hubbard began Self Analysis with these lines: "Self Analysis cannot revive the dead. "Self Analysis will not empty insane asylums or stop war. ... "But Self Analysis will conduct you on the most interesting adventure in your life. The adventure of you." Self Analysis has sold millions of copies in 50 languages across the globe. It starts with a series of short essays written in simple terms to get you to fully understand what it is, how it works and how to use the techniques in the book. Then, there are 12 target areas of your life that the processes cover which you will be able to
