Book Description

September 1, 1994

The Technology of Study  

Overfilled class-sizes, economic disadvantages and "learning disorders" are common. Yet underlying all of this, there are three primary barriers that keep one from successfully studying a subject.

This is not attention deficit disorder, emotional problems, or stupidity at work. Students fail to learn because no one has ever taught them how to learn — how to identify the barriers to learning and how to overcome them.

This Technology of Study Technology helps anyone learn anything and has proven to achieve uniform, consistent results wherever it has been applied. Mr. Hubbard’s study techniques have proven as effective in the elementary school as they have in the executive suites of multinational corporations.

This technology provides an understanding of the basics of learning and supplies exact ways to overcome all the pitfalls one can encounter during study.

Study Technology enables one to comprehend a studied subject so one can then apply it.

With this technology, you can learn any subject, and so can anyone else.

Learn the secret to studying any subject and applying it successfully in your life. Get the Technology of Study today.

About the Author

L. Ron Hubbard

There are only two tests of a life well lived L. Ron Hubbard once remarked: Did one do as one intended? And were people glad one lived? In testament to the first stands the full body of his life’s work, including some 12,000 writings and 3,000 tape-recorded lectures of Dianetics and Scientology.   In evidence of the second are the hundreds of millions of individuals whose lives have been demonstrably bettered because he lived. They are the more than 28 million students now reading superlatively owing to L. Ron Hubbard’s educational discoveries; they are the millions of men and women freed from substance abuse through L. Ron Hubbard’s breakthroughs in drug rehabilitation; they are the near 100 million who have been touched by his nonreligious moral code: and they are the many millions more who hold his work to be the spiritual cornerstone of their lives. 

Although best known for Dianetics and Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard cannot be so simply categorized. If nothing else, his life was too varied, his influence too broad. There are tribesmen in Southern Africa, for example, who know nothing of Dianetics and Scientology, but they know L. Ron Hubbard the educator.  Likewise, there are factory workers in Albania who know him only for his administrative discoveries; children in China who know him only as the author of their moral code, and readers in dozens of languages who know him only for his novels. So, no, L. Ron Hubbard is not an easy man to categorize and certainly does not fit popular misconceptions of “religious founder” as an aloof and contemplative figure. Yet the more one comes to know this man and his achievements, the more one comes to realize he was precisely the sort of person to have brought us Scientology, the only major religion to have been founded in the twentieth century. 

What Scientology offers is likewise what one would expect of a man such as  L. Ron Hubbard. For not only does it provide a fully unique approach to our most fundamental questions—Who are we? From where did we come and what is our destiny? But it further provides an equally unique technology for greater spiritual awareness. So how would we expect to characterize the founder of such a religion? Clearly, he would have to be larger than life, attracted to people, liked by people, dynamic, charismatic and immensely capable in a dozen fields—all exactly L. Ron Hubbard. 

The fact is, if Mr. Hubbard had stopped after only one of his many accomplishments he would still be celebrated today. For example, with 46 million works of fiction in circulation, including such monumental bestsellers as Battlefield Earth, Fear and the Mission Earth series, Mr. Hubbard is unquestionably one of the most acclaimed and widely read authors of all time. His novels have earned some of the world’s most prestigious literary awards, and he has very genuinely been described as “one of the most prolific and influential writers of the twentieth century.” 

His earlier accomplishments are similarly impressive. As a barnstorming aviator through the 1930s he was known as “Flash” and broke local records for sustained glider flight. As a leader of expeditions, he is credited with conducting the first complete Puerto Rican mineralogical survey under United States protectorship and his navigational annotations still influence the maritime guides for British Columbia. His experimentation with early radio direction finding further became the basis for the Long Range Navigational system (Loran). And, as a lifelong photographer, his works have been displayed in galleries on two continents, with the definitive body of his photographs in traveling and permanent exhibits still drawing tens of thousands every year.

5.0 out of 5 stars good information, May 2, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Technology of Study from the Scientology Handbook (Paperback)
This book really brought to focus the need to listen to others when they are doing thier work. Since reading this book I have really started to listen to my daughter when she reads and does her work and I must say I was able to bring her back to those words she skipped and when we went through it together, she understood it better. This is what we know but do not practice. Great reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars Clarifies study enormously!, October 5, 2003
This review is from: The Technology of Study from the Scientology Handbook (Paperback)
I wish I had been given this book before I started college - it would have made my studies much easier.

This book covers the basic technology of successful study.

Did you ever get to the bottom of a page and realize you don't know what you just read?

Have you ever gotten headaches or stomaches while studying?

Have you ever felt frustrated by study materials?

Did you ever just want to throw a textbook away and quit the class?

I, like probably most everybody, have experienced all these things. This little book explains what EXACTLY happens to cause these different phenomenon. Not only does it explain the cause, but it gives very simple - VERY simple - ways to handle them!

I use these study techniques with my children. My 12-year-old just read the whole set of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and is now reading "Runaway Jury" - not something most 12-year-old kids can do. He's been reading high school science books for a few years now, and he uses these techniques himself in his study.

This study technology makes it possible for anyone able to read to be able to read anything. Legal documents, scientific texts, whatever -- if you use the techniques as laid out in this book, you can learn anything.

5.0 out of 5 stars OMG!, November 15, 2004
By 
Herman (Sunderland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Technology of Study from the Scientology Handbook (Paperback)
I got this lil pamphlet thing from this yellow tent in my city.

Guess what: I CAN FIALY UNDERSTAND PHYISICS! Although my teachers and family dis the guy who wrote this book, the book kicks ass all the same. The idea of clearing words up while studying is SOOOOO GOD DAM TRUE! Just try it out! There is no psychobabble about brains and nerve pulses, just 3 study steps. You really can conquer any subject by applying the oh-so-simple techniques outlined.

The reason I never liked physics and got 'bored' or 'wooden' was through no pictures in the school text book. I now draw a diagram for every concept in all my lessons and clear up EVERY word I don't understand in English class.

I really really recommend you get dis book.
