Ron Hubbard. Hubbard was born in 1911 and passed in 1986. Wright talks about some of the key moments in Hubbard's life, which ultimately led him to write the bestselling 1950 self-help book Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health and deciding to form the Church of Scientology in 1952. After much legal pressure on Scientology, Hubbard went into seclusion until his death. Wright also briefly outlines in this interview some of the principles of Scientology.
