This book is worth reading because 1)it's an interesting read, and 2) it's nice to learn about something that is somewhat prevalent in the news (Scientology). I know Scientology has gotten a lot of bad press lately, but I think the book can stand on its own as a good read. The book claims a lot, especially as it concerns healing the mind to the point where you don't get sick, your vision improves, and your memory jumps through the roof. These claims are a weak part of the book, but at least they keep you interested. There are hundreds of books that relate general health to the power of the mind/brain, and this one is decent. The book claims that only a specialist of Scientology can help clear your mind of the engrams (things in your unconscious that hold you back, make you depressed, etc.). The unfortunate thing is that it seems only the well-off can benefit from this specific therapy. The rest of us can at least think about the mind/body connection, and perhaps discover an alternative route to Scietology to help heal our brains.
