LOS ANGELES, Sept. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- More than 500 attendees packed an Unlock Abundance event featuring entrepreneur and real estate investor Grant Cardone, hosted by the Church of Scientology of the Valley in Burbank, California. Cardone took the audience behind the story of his success, speaking candidly about the personal struggles and addiction he faced early in life and how he changed that trajectory into a life of prosperity, abundance and happiness.
Cardone went beyond the story of his business achievements. He revealed how discovering the book Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health by L. Ron Hubbard was a turning point and helped shape his mindset.
Cardone challenged the audience to examine the beliefs holding them back from their own potential, returning throughout the talk to the importance of investing in oneself. He emphasized this point, saying, "You have to believe in a future self better than your current self."
He described the effect Dianetics had on his own outlook, telling the crowd, "This book flipped a switch for me. It changed the direction of the rest of my life."
First published in 1950, Dianetics reveals the source of unwanted fears, anxieties, self-doubt and emotional reactions that hold people back from reaching their full potential. The book explains how painful experiences from the past can continue to influence a person's thoughts, emotions and behavior long after the events are over. Dianetics provides a technique to address that influence so an individual can think and act with greater rationality, focus and self-determinism.
Following his remarks, attendees stayed behind to discuss what they had heard, with many expressing interest in discovering Dianetics for themselves.
"Hearing Grant speak about the impact Dianetics had on his life made me eager to use it to reach my full potential," said Kristoff, an event attendee. "I have more potential than I give myself credit for, and Dianetics is something I know I can use to get me there."
