By far, one of the most important books that I have ever read in my life. I would have to say that at first I was a little initimated by it because of its length. However, after I got started I learned a lot more about myself and why I am the way that I am. Anyone who has read this book and has not been changed in some way shape or form, is simply not a normal person. This is one of those books that will change your life.

Any Scientologist will tell you that this book is a stepping-stone to many greater things, and they are right. As you continue on the Basics, you will gain more knowledge about yourself and others around you than you will ever get from any other book in existance. Truly this book and those that follow will be the most important books you will ever read.
