The quality of anyone's life is dependent upon his ability to communicate. Barriers to communication can destroy marriage, a business relationship or a family. L. Ron Hubbard researched the true causes behind these barriers and discovered that communication itself is the most important factor in living. And the subject of communication is covered fully in this book.

Mr. Hubbard was the first person to recognize the importance of communication in any facet of living and the first to study it in this context. These researches represent one of the greatest contributions of Scientology and are applied by millions daily throughout the world. In this book, he carefully analyzes the subject of communication, dissecting it into components and describing the complete cycle of communication between people.

Communication is central to the workability of Dianetics and Scientology and this book contains Mr. Hubbard's most complete exposition on the subject. In fact, it is the manual on communication, vital to living, as well as applications of Dianetics and Scientology technology.

History of the Book:

First distributed in a limited edition to attendees of the Unification Congress in December 1954, Dianetics 55! was broadly released in April 1955.

In 1989, a new edition was published with a new glossary and index.

Subjects Covered:

Described by Mr. Hubbard as the "Second Book of Dianetics," it explores the capabilities and potentials of what was called, in Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, "the awareness of awareness unit" — the person himself.

The keynote of the book, however, is communication and this is thoroughly explored: its formula, its mechanics, how communication can go awry, the consequences when it does and how to repair it when this happens. L. Ron Hubbard shows how an individual becomes trapped into a state where he is less able, and gives means of achieving freedom and understanding by increasing Affinity, Reality, and especially Communication .

A man is as dead as he can't communicate. He is as alive as he can communicate.”

—L. Ron Hubbard from Dianetics 55!
