‘David Miscavige, the Church of Scientology’s current leader and successor to founder L. Ron Hubbard, hasn’t always ruled with an iron fist. It was his father, Ron Miscavige, who first introduced his family to Scientology, and David embraced it immediately, even as young boy. Years later, Ron could only watch with dismay as his bright, carefree son transformed into the leader he is today. Ruthless explores the Miscavige family’s gradual immersion into the church while the seeds are planted for son Davids meteoric ascendancy. Ron traces the arc of David’s life from the early years to David’s stellar rise to power in Scientology, his brutal approach to running the organization today, and the disastrous effects that his leadership has had on countless numbers of Scientologists and their families. The only book to examine the origins of Scientology’s current leader, Ruthless tries to make sense of David Miscavige’s embrace of what the church calls disconnection–shunning family members who leave or criticize the church–and what his leadership means for its members and for the future of Scientology itself. Ron argues that the influence his son wields over so many people is toxic. And under David Miscavige’s leadership, a relatively benign, if flawed and controversial, philosophical movement has transformed into what his father ultimately considers an emotionally damaging organization that has ripped families apart, including his own. Ron’s personal, heartfelt story is a riveting insider’s look at life within the controversial and confounding world of Scientology.’ — Publisher’s description Read more…

دیوید میسکاویج، رهبر فعلی کلیسای ساینتولوژی و جانشین بنیانگذار ال. ران هابارد، همیشه با مشت آهنین حکومت نکرده است. این پدرش، ران میسکاویج بود که برای اولین بار خانواده خود را با ساینتولوژی آشنا کرد و دیوید بلافاصله آن را پذیرفت، حتی در جوانی. سالها بعد، ران تنها توانست با ناامیدی ببیند که پسر باهوش و بیخیالش تبدیل به رهبر امروزی شده است. Ruthless غوطه ور شدن تدریجی خانواده Miscavige در کلیسا را در حالی که بذرها برای برتری شهاب سنگی پسر دیویدز کاشته می شوند، بررسی می کند. رون قوس زندگی دیوید را از سالهای اولیه تا قدرت گرفتن ستارگان دیوید در ساینتولوژی، رویکرد بیرحمانه او در اداره سازمان امروز و تأثیرات فاجعهباری که رهبری او بر تعداد بیشماری از ساینتولوژیستها و خانوادههای آنها داشته است، دنبال میکند. تنها کتابی که به بررسی ریشههای رهبر کنونی ساینتولوژی میپردازد، بیرحم تلاش میکند آغوش دیوید میسکاویج از آنچه که کلیسا قطع ارتباط مینامد – اجتناب از اعضای خانوادهای که کلیسا را ترک میکنند یا از آن انتقاد میکنند – و معنای رهبری او برای اعضای آن و برای آن را معنا کند. آینده خود ساینتولوژی رون استدلال می کند که تأثیر پسرش بر بسیاری از مردم سمی است. و تحت رهبری دیوید میسکاویج، یک جنبش فلسفی نسبتاً خوشخیم، اگر ناقص و بحثبرانگیز، به چیزی تبدیل شده است که پدرش در نهایت آن را سازمانی آسیبرسان عاطفی میداند که خانوادهها، از جمله خود او را از هم پاشیده است. داستان شخصی و صمیمانه ران، نگاهی جذاب از خودی به زندگی در دنیای بحث برانگیز و گیج کننده ساینتولوژی است. — توضیحات ناشر بیشتر بخوانید…
