where do you guys get all your energy?
IAN CLARKSON, LEAD SINGER, TRUMPET, UKULELE
That is one of the most common questions we get asked, almost on a daily basis!
We put together this page to share what we have found has helped us stay together as a band through thick and thin for over 25 years now. Ian answers a few questions.
What were you searching for?
I knew there were things I could improve in myself and wanted to understand what caused them. I was looking for something practical that would give me the answers to certain questions and my wife-to-be understood what I was looking for and gave me a copy of "Dianetics: the Modern Science of Mental Health" by L. Ron Hubbard to read and it made so much sense. Immediately I could see for the first time exactly what was stopping me being myself and stopping me being fully happy.
What did you want to fix in your life when you came across it?
I was busy performing with the band but I knew that I could improve my confidence and be more positive. I had gone through some tough times in my early teens and I knew I drank more than I should in order to get through it which only made things worse. Despite my on-stage appearance, I needed to get out of this mental whirlpool.
How did Dianetics help you solve that?
Being given the Dianetics book was like being thrown a life ring. I found out the hidden mechanism that stopped me from being myself and achieving my goals. Then I received the counselling described in the book, and it worked exactly as the book said. I started to get relief, I stopped drinking, I became happier.
Why would you recommend Dianetics to somebody?
I would recommend it to anybody. There is much talk of mental health issues nowadays but no real, practical solutions. This book will directly help you handle the things that are holding you back, and it works!
