Superlearning 2000: New Triple Fast Ways You Can Learn, Earn, and Succeed in the 21st Century

I read this book when it was first published, and was inspired to try the techniques. I have returned to it many times since then for further inspiration. It is really sad to read reviews declaring that Superlearning is a scam; I would suggest that any tool - and Superlearning is surely no more than a tool - is only as good as the person using it. Or perhaps only as good as their expectations - and their intentions. For myself, I have used the techniques to radically change the way young students learn - students who in fact, had been described as having significant "learning difficulties." They gleefully proved the pessimism wrong. As a mature university student, I tried the techniques on myself, and achieved very real success - in the 90 percentile for a linguistics paper, for example, on one third of the usual study time. The book needs to be read with an open mind - and the techniques approached with no preconceptions. By all means be analytical - but that means analysing ALL possible reasons for any lack of success; it is so easy to unwittingly introduce variables. My vote is for Superlearning as a significantly empowering technique.

Superlearning is a compendium of advanced learning techniquesaimed at facilitating the learning process. The work shows howto break down complicated assignments into smaller segments.The author reviews relaxing techniques in learning andreinforcement. These techniques include breathing and telepathic beats explained by the author. The author emphasizesthat children learn better if they are well-schooled inrelaxing and breathing techniques. The work explains how tooperate the mind and body in unison. The work extends thelearning process into dreams and the quantification ofwhat is experienced in a dream. This is a worthy investmentfor readers willing to commit the time necessary to learn thecited techniques.

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.

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.

Unlike the majority of the books on this kind of subject I have read, this one contains an incredible amount of practical information that is useful. The first third of the book describes what is possible, the potencials, the blocks, the hangups that enhance or deter us when we learn. The second third contains a HOW-TO manual to create your own unique program to suit your needs including learning languages effortlessly, removing emotional hangups, completely getting rid of stress and tension and embracing the continuously changing world. The last third contain exercises for things like stress management and guided visualization.Again, this is the best book of it's kind I have seen out of more than a dozen. I can not suggest it strongly enough.
