I would say this to him:
"Edoardo,
When you have had enough of the exploitation, deception, manipulation and abuse and leave Scientology, or are offloaded due to being used up, you may find some items on this reading list of some help with your recovery from having nothing and from the post traumatic stress you will be experiencing. Right now, you are not allowed to read most of these.
Sincerely,
Someone who hopes they are part of the 96% (those who have a conscience.)"
