“To really know life,” L. Ron Hubbard wrote, “you’ve got to be part of life. You must get down and look, you must get into the nooks and crannies of existence. You have to rub elbows with all kinds and types of men before you can finally establish what he is.”

From his adventurous youth in a rough and tumble American West to his far-flung trek across a still mysterious Asia; from his two-decade search for the essence of life to the triumph of Dianetics and Scientology—such is the story L. Ron Hubbard recounts in a lecture so legendary, it has been heard by millions.
