Ditto, I've always been interested in it since I first saw a USMC recruiter and good friend of mine able to use it very, very successfully.

Gus, where and how did you learn all this stuff? It's really fascinating.

Much of it is from a book called "Science of Survival" (http://www.amazon.com/Science-Survival-Prediction-Human-Behavior/dp/1403144850/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1296058221&sr=8-1). (Most libraries should have copies in local languages. I think it's been translated into 67 languages, if I'm not mistaken.)

I've taken the material in that and adapted it to my own uses.

There's much more to it beyond that, but that's where it starts.

Funny. I always thought that Hubbard had written Scientology related books. Looks like this one is focused on other topics.

Great series of books. Very funny and easy to read considering there were ten of them. Other dekalogies (?) tend to wane in the middle - this series didn't.

He was never a nut, he was a fraud. Scientology was invented as a bet between two SF authors.

Do I sense religious discrimination here on the Thread? It's not my religion but there are people who believe that stuff.
