Understanding: The Universal Solvent

by L. Ron Hubbard

The book Understanding contains hundreds of quotations that stand alone as some of the most fundamental truths of this universe. L. Ron Hubbard’s strikingly beautiful, often poetic use of the language conveys the essence of Scientology and provides data you can apply immediately in life. The quotations cover such subjects as Happiness, Art, Society, Truth, Knowledge, Communication and many more.

About the author

With 19 New York Times bestsellers and more than 350 million copies of his works in circulation, L. Ron Hubbard is among the most enduring and widely read authors of our time. As a leading light of American Pulp Fiction through the 1930s and '40s, he is further among the most influential authors of the modern age. Indeed, from Ray Bradbury to Stephen King, there is scarcely a master of imaginative tales who has not paid tribute to L. Ron Hubbard. Then too, of course, there is all L. Ron Hubbard represents as the Founder of Dianetics and Scientology and thus the only major religion born in the 20th century.

Reviews

[Judy Tarver · Rating 3 out of 5]

Although the author is apparently a talented writer and an intelligent man, the way he writes this particular book was not at all able to hold my interest or make me understand a lot of the things he was trying to explain. He says the best way to understand “everything” is to read and if you don’t know what a word means look it up in the dictionary and that is one of his best pieces of advice in understanding how the world works. Maybe I misinterpreted something, but I believe that is quite vague. I could read the entire dictionary and it wouldn’t make me understand everything in this world we live in.
