The essence of philosophy is to learn to “grin and bear it.” For many years L. Ron Hubbard had the rather grim task of going on about his work, doing his job, regardless, waiting for the tide of opposition to turn as it finally did.

With the help and advice of an associate, who was a medical doctor, he offered his work first to the American Psychiatric Association and then to the American Medical Association.
