Dianetics - The Original Thesis

I wish I could have finished it since I'm kind of curious what he says, to see if I can find valuable info within. However, I really don't like his tone. He uses a lot of statements like “we have proved [this or that]” but it doesn't cite any peer-reviewed research. I didn't start the book with any backstory of what I was getting into I just liked the cover and title. But it turns out its quite a controversial book with a lot of cultural baggage. This made me more curious to get through it. But it's such a slow read, I was several hours into it and it still all felt very introductory. There's some cool ideas like “engrams” and some interesting heuristics about how people develop neuroses. I have plenty of neuroses so I was like ooh finally a cure. But nah, I didn't find this to be a promising route of inquiry.
