Publisher's Summary

From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Dianetics, with over 22 million copies sold

With 70 percent of our time spent at work, difficulties on the job can impact every facet of our lives.

Contained in this book is not only technology to bring stability to the workplace, but the groundbreaking processes to return joy itself to all of life.

Here is a book that does what you don't expect a book to do. It tells you HOW. It tells you the basis of things, and the most basic of things is life itself. This then is a book about life.

In this book, learn how to:

  • Gain the confidence to achieve the life you've always wanted
  • Increase stability in the workplace and at home
  • Improve communication skills—the key to achieving success
  • Understand your underlying motivations and master control over your emotions
  • Dramatically increase efficiency, competency and productivity
  • Discover the secret principles to have true happiness
  • Learn the cause of exhaustion and how to restore the vitality of youth
  • Create fulfilling relationships

“I must say how much I enjoyed this book, this text, these ideas, and their workable solutions. I feel refreshed. I know how to handle exhaustion. I know that this work thing must be created and that work itself is a game with freedoms, barriers and purposes. I would rate it 5 out of 5. I appreciate the materials and even the packaging. I really, really enjoyed this learning journey."" (L.R.)

“My way of looking at people and the physical universe has changed, and I feel that my responsibility has increased a lot too. The fact of having this knowledge can be an influencer of environments and people. I will read this book several times because each time we perceive more things. The book showed me that we can help, uplift, empower people and change the environment around us.” (R.G.)

“I am using The Problems of Work to help me with communication. I will be a lot more efficient at work and be able to accomplish more. I am also using it to relieve my exhaustion from work. The Take a Walk method is great, this is helpful, especially after work.” (T.B.)

Gain practical tools you can use to bring about greater security, competence and efficiency in everyday life.

With over two hundred million copies of his works in circulation and dozens of international bestsellers, L. Ron Hubbard has inspired a movement spanning every continent on earth. All told, those works comprise some 5,000 writings and 3,000 recorded lectures and, as such, stand as the single most embracive statement on the human mind and spirit. His breakthroughs have helped millions lead more successful lives and achieve true happiness.

BEST KEPT SECRET FROM THE WORLD

If you could sum up The Problems of Work in three words, what would they be?

Simplified, wholesome, and un-bias.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

This book provides the foundations for improvement; for life, relationships and business.

Any additional comments?

It's extremely short, but it explains various topics in enough detail that it equips you. This should be the first self development book anybody should get their hands on. It will save you time, emotion anguish and financial anguish.

A straightforward formula for work

A great listen in something that is so fundamental in our lives and particularly liked the explanation of control and how this is so important for satisfaction in work

Helps me as a business owner.

I have listened to this so many times.
Especially when I get stuck on business or have a problem with business. Always gives me an idea on something practical I can DO instead of worrying about the problem. Has made me a better employer and contributed to my success on business.
