A friend of mine just sent me this screenshot of the Italian iTunes store. The number one in the Audiobook category is the Italian version of the Lecture by L. Ron Hubbard called “The Operation Manual for the Mind”.
It’s a great lecture. Part of a series called The Classics which you can see more on here.
The great coincidence is that this CD (or I guess mp3 if it is iTunes) is about the mind and becomes a bestseller in May 2007 – the month of Dianetics which is the when he released the technology of Dianetics back in 1950.
Dianetics research later led to Scientology.
I became a Scientologist back in the late 1980s because I was interested in how the religion is so workable to handle situations in life. The concept of taking a scientific approach to life was what made sense to me. And probably one of the best slogans I ever saw was “Think for Yourself” that’s exactly what Scientology is all about.
