I have spent 12 years on a spiritual quest, and ran into this book while doing a search term. I had heard so many negative things about Scientology, that I ignored my findings for 3 years. 3 years later, and hundreds of abandoned books, again I search, and this book comes up. So I buy it. And now I kick myself for not acknowledging it when I first discovered it.

I have read thousands of books, I read every day, I study every day, and this is by far the best practical guide to life I have ever encountered. I use the information daily. Whether it is dealing with my children, setting goals, performing nerve assists or touch assists on friends and family with pain, public relations, organization - I spent 4 days doing the practical applications in my home and in my office, and I felt lighter and free to think when the clutter was removed, marriage, and something I use with myself and taught my kids was the technology of study. The entire educational system should adopt this, and it is so easy you could do it in under a week. The cause of suppression - since reading this I have never had a cold or illness since. There is much more, and this book would make the best gift to a son or daughter heading off to college, or for any adult that is not flourishing.

Until you discover an answer for yourself, the rest is heresay and gossip.

I have been reading and researching the work of Dr Hubbard along with others for the past 20 odd years and have now and then come across individual booklets with regards to specific help to life offered by the CoS. Each of these little booklets runs about $5 or so, and are also available online in PDF format (or they used to be anyways). This book has all these booklets in it! Some topics that I have found useful are Ethics, Marriage, Communication, Study, Children and many others... Of course one of the best things is that the CoS offers free training courses for each of the modules in the book at www.volunteerministers.org, and heck - if you do them all you can be a certified volunteer minister (so much for the so called "Cult of Greed" I keep hearing about!).

Buy this book, use it, read it, live it! You do not have to be a Scientologist for this to work any more that you need to be a physicist for gravity to work! Take me as an example, not a Scientologist, am very spiritual and still this technology works for me like electricity.... flip the switch and the lights come on!

Many Blessings.

Why? Well, for instance the Chapter entitled 'Ethics and The Conditions'. I didn't really understand it, but if you read the Chapter 'The Technology of Study' you find out why you didn't understand it, because you weren't looking up your words in a dictionary to understand what they mean...I know, it sounds obvious, but until someone spells it out, it really isn't obvious. The whole book is like that, it seems to 'have all the answers'. It's funny you never hear about things like this on Oprah, it seems like she'd be all over it...if only Dr. Phil would start giving out practical advice like this.

I use this book a lot: There is a section on Tone Scales, which are the different tone levels people are in, cheerful, grief, apathy, etc. The book tells what you can expect of people in different tones, and how to handle them. There is...there seems to be something for everyone. You should get this book. There, I said it. I'm on record. Anyone who from this point on comes up to me and complains that I had all the answers to their problems, but I didn't share them and thus help them out is in error - as I said, this book has all the answers and I just told you to read it.

I used this book for many different areas including my business. I find all of my goals being reached thanks to the simple steps I have found in this book. There is basically information on any problem that you may have and you can apply the information immediately.
Highly Recommended!!

This really is a very useful handbook with real answers that work well to help with almost any situation in life, to improve your life or help someone else. Very easy to use with lots of pictures and illustrations. I think the study technology should be used in all schools...actually should be the first course that kids do in school. I love the chapter on management and use it all the time. This book also helped me to get over a major loss.

I love this book because it is so useful. Each chapter contains methods for handling problems in some aspect of life.

From childrearing to studying more effectively, to increasing the production in a company, you can find very useful information - and processes - that, when applied, can improve your life.

This book, on its own, is an incredible resource. I recommend it to everyone!

The first thing I would comment on is how useful this book is. A friend of mine showed this book to me. The first thing that jumped out at me was a section called "Conditions of Existance". Basically, we are all in a certain condition,by using what was in this chapter I was able to improve my conditon, not only at work but in my marriage! I think most of us rarely think of what our condition is. We just know that we are happy or not happy. I found this book gave me a way to improve myself and my situation in life. I really feel more in control of my life as a result of reading and putting to use the information laid out in this book. It also has many other useful chapters. I highly recommend this book for those who are interested in "improving their condition"

It had everything I had ever been looking for to change my life and turn it around for the better.

After I read the Scientology Handbook, I felt as if I could start a new life. With Hubbards extensive technology on how to handle human realtionships and his kind heart, I felt like I knew very well what Scientology was and I was very intersted in finding out more about. I highly reccomend this book to anyone, espically if they are looking to make their lives better.

For all of you out there who think your way through things (and any who want to start now), you'll be amazed at this study! Check out the section on "studying" for ways to understand and remember anything (math, history, etc.) the first time forever! I have a child, now in a gifted program in middle school, who uses such useful information to recall science and the like--it's astronomical what it's potential has been in our household. I do not belong to the "church", do not pay dues, checked this out originally at the public library (as a single mom with two youngsters)--and the above chapter has just blown us away--I may not worship L. Ron like a God (and I really don't believe Scientologists do either frankly), but I know and feel deepest of appreciation and highest respect for those L. Ron inspired to donate that original book I used, and when I moved, I bought one because the success in my house is so incredibly high based on this one human being's contribution, that only the one true God could have inspired in him. The "studying" chapter is only a tiny part of the many many practical and easy activities in many areas in this book-it's straightforward, no tricks, no influences, just you and your life. Worth whatever it costs, an investment I made that's covered such a major portion of the upgrading of our lives here in this house--don't miss the opporunity!
