Nashville, Tennessee, 16th May 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, The Church of Scientology Nashville is celebrating a major milestone this weekend: the 75th anniversary of the groundbreaking book Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health by L. Ron Hubbard. The celebration will honor the lasting impact of this monumental work on the field of mental wellness and personal discovery since its publication on May 9, 1950.
With more than 22 million copies sold in 176 countries and translated into 50 languages, Dianetics has become a global phenomenon. Heralded as “perhaps the best-selling non-Christian book of all time in the West” by Publishers Weekly, it spent over 100 weeks on their bestseller list and held a spot on the New York Times bestseller list for 26 consecutive weeks upon its release.
The book introduced the world to the concept of the reactive mind—the source of irrational fears, stress, and psychosomatic illness—and offers practical tools to overcome it. L. Ron Hubbard wrote, “Dianetics is an adventure. It is an exploration into Terra Incognita, the human mind, that vast hitherto unknown realm half an inch back of our foreheads.”
The weekend event will feature presentations, historical exhibits, and an introduction to the Dianetics Seminar, based on the book and supported by a set of 32 instructional films titled How to Use Dianetics. These films, available in 17 languages, provide over four hours of visual learning to help individuals apply the principles of Dianetics to their own lives.
Church spokesperson Julie Brinker invites all curious minds and long-time readers alike: “This weekend is about celebrating the timeless message of Dianetics and the millions who have found greater clarity and happiness through its tools.”
Attendees will have the opportunity to view the films, tour the Church’s information center, and purchase Dianetics in both book and film formats. All are welcome to attend.
