Summary: great book
Review: someone that reviewed it said that it doesnt work, thats why its not used. that is not true, not everything that works is used. as an example, i will talk about something that is not in this book:there are time tested methods of memorizing, which have been used for millenia. one such method is the method that was used by roman orators to remember speaches. this has been time tested, and nobody disputes their effectiveness; basically, it is a sort of advanced mnemonic, that is easy to use. read "the memory book" by harry lorayne. the system used in that book is the complete opposite of superlearning, and it works, but why isnt it used? i have no idea. that system surely works; you can name ten items, and i can resite them back to you forward and backward. surely, that is a handy skill? why doesnt the american school system use it? they are afraid of change. it is well know that grading does not help the educational process, and impedes it, yet most schools use them. the system described in superlearning is brilliant, and works better than the system described by harry lorayne (which is nothing at all similar to that of superlearning, they are almost opposite, but i still would recommend harry lorayne). i have used a modified form of superlearning (that i devised myself), which is based on the same principles, minus the music, and the specially prepared tapes. i basically adhere to the breathing/relaxation system, and the 8 beat learning method, and i have had unbelievable results; i remember the word the first time, every time. i think the reason that the method didnt work for most of the people was because they werent doing it right; its all about relaxing, and breathing, and they were all talking about taking notes and keeping track of the stories. the stories were just to convince you, not to be studied! they missed the point, and are they were being superficial.

Summary: Superlearning by Schroeder/Ostrander
Review: Superlearning is a compendium of advanced learning techniques
aimed at facilitating the learning process. The work shows how
to break down complicated assignments into smaller segments.
The author reviews relaxing techniques in learning and
reinforcement. These techniques include breathing and
telepathic beats explained by the author. The author emphasizes
that children learn better if they are well-schooled in
relaxing and breathing techniques. The work explains how to
operate the mind and body in unison. The work extends the
learning process into dreams and the quantification of
what is experienced in a dream. This is a worthy investment
for readers willing to commit the time necessary to learn the
cited techniques.

Summary: Informative
Review: This book deals on the subject(s) of music in learning with relaxastion. Sort of like the alpha state with music. The only bad part about it is that it talks about itself for the first few hundread pages. I've already used the techniques many times for much better sleeping.

Summary: Classic book on memory
Review: This book provides a wealth of important information from areas as diverse as health, visualizations, reincarnation, and memory. I am writing this review to set the record straight because of the previous negative reviews. I have used the specific Superlearning course and I can verify it DOES WORK (and does take practice and patience). However, this is only the small tip of a very large iceberg, of the available information contained in this book. This book can lead you into many different pathways of learning such as, Artificial Reincarnation ... ., hypnosis, autogenics, yoga, and health. I recommend readers do some research and check the reference section in this book. They would venture in areas that are scientific, mind expanding, and do lead in many different directions of, which might be suitable to the specific person in general. If you do not believe me just read the book.

Summary: Informative
Review: Though the book helped me with my insomnia I didn't give it the highest rating. What even amazes me more is that I obtained around 60-beats/minute-pulse rate from an average rate of 82 beats/minute. Also I never thought the book would be able to help me get over some of my anxieties-but it worked! A lot of information is noted on the FIRST HUNDRED PAGES-these would give brief concepts on the important theoretical points. They are as important as the exercises themselves because it helps one to relate to the vast valuable implications of the ancient practices. It bridges the modern and the ancient ideas-don't you find it amazing? Still I rated it with four stars because I'm still skeptical to learning paranormal skills.
