Summary of Janet Reitman's Inside Scientology

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Lafayette Ron Hubbard was a prolific writer of science fiction and fantasy, as well as an amateur explorer, magician, and hypnotist. He came up with an alternative to psychotherapy called Dianetics, and became famous. He lost everything within a year.

#2 Hubbard had a love of adventure and a fascination with the sea. He grew up listening to the stories told by the men in his father's naval circles, and dreamed of commanding his own ship. He had no intention of winding up like his father, a naval supply officer.

#3 By 1938, Hubbard was twenty-seven years old, and had already experienced a lot in his life. He had dropped out of college in 1932, and had spent two unimpressive years there. But he had great self-confidence, which had served him well through the Great Depression.

#4 Hubbard was a very successful pulp fiction writer, and he had been in the United States Marines for seven years, an explorer on the upper Amazon for four years, a radio crooner, newspaper reporter, and gold miner in the West Indies. But his efforts did not transfer into monetary success.
