The Technology of Study from the Scientology Handbook (Paperback)

by L. Ron Hubbard (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
L. Ron Hubbard supplied the first and only technology of how to study. He discovered the laws on which learning is based and developed workable methods for anyone to apply. He called this subject "Study Technology". 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 is not speed-reading or memory tricks. These have not been proven to raise one's ability to comprehend what was studied or to raise literacy. Study Technology shows how one studies in order to comprehend a subject so one can apply it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clarifies study enormously!, October 5, 2003

By	Jane James "homeschoolmum" (California) - See all my reviews

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.

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 OMG!, November 15, 2004

By	Herman (Sunderland) - See all my reviews

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.
