Happiness and Confidence
What does Dianetics say about happiness? Is it possible to be happy, and why are you sometimes happy one day, sad the next?
Below is a brief excerpt from the book "Dianetics", which begins to define happiness.
There is therefore for a necessity for pleasure, for working, as happiness can be defined, toward known goals over not unknowable obstacles. And the necessity for pleasure is such that a great deal of pain can be borne to attain it.
Pleasure is the positive commodity. It is enjoyment of work, contemplation of deeds well done; it is a good book or a good friend; it is taking all the skin off one's knees climbing the Matterhorn; it is hearing the kid first say daddy; it is a brawl on the Bund at Shanghai or the whistle of armour from a doorway; it's adventure and hope and enthusiasm and "someday I'll learn to paint"; it's eating a good meal or kissing a pretty girl or playing a stiff game of bluff on the stock exchange. It's what Man does that he enjoys doing; it's what Man does that he enjoys contemplating; it's what Man does that he enjoys remembering; and it may be just the talk of things he knows he'll never do.
Man will endure a lot of pain to obtain a little pleasure. Out in the laboratory of the world, it takes very little time to confirm that.
SUCCESS STORY
"Dianetics put me into the big time. I always had the ability to be somewhat successful, but Dianetics freed me up to the point where something really big could happen, without Interference."
-John Travolta
"Dianetics enabled me to realise my potentials and find the success I had always sought."

"Dianetics has helped me to achieve my goals. I've always felt I knew what I was doing in life, but couldn't figure out why things didn't always go the way I wanted. I noticed a pattern I was stuck in and nothing I did seemed to break me free of it. Life became a struggle. Why was this happening to me? I started reading books to help me out and I came across Dianetics. This was the one! It was spot-on in its understanding of the mind and life. I could use it. I popped right out of the rut I was in and took control of my life. I've never looked back."
-H.P.
"Dianetics auditing has taken me to situations that happened to me 30 years ago - things that were harming. It has helped me to understand that things from the past don't have to hurt me in the present and I have discovered that I can help other people."
