Rate this book
Nervous before exams? Not fully tracking in school or in any other form of education or training? Not able to actually use and apply what you learned? The Basic Study Manual explains the three most common issues students of any age or any subject encounter, and their respective remedies. The one thing we have never learnt at school is the actual know-how to overcome the typical problems that anyone of us is facing in the course of education, regardless of the subject we try to study. There are specific and simple methods that open up the road to success and joy in education. Learning is a most enjoyable activity, if you clearly understand what you are learning. This is what the Basic Study Manual is about. Age range for this book is 15+, and highly useful also for parents and teachers, as it contains highly effective tutoring tools, and makes you aware of what lies behind a students apparent inability to comprehend.

I dabbled in the Cult of $cientology when I was much younger, before the internet. I've not only read this book but also taken the course that accompanied it. Pure drivel. What gets people involved with this cult is they package common sense guidelines that are easy to agree with, and then slowly start adding the malarky. You'd do much better ignoring this book and everything else to do with it.

Livro simples e conciso sobre como aprender uma matéria ou um conceito. Ofereceram-me quando andava no secundário, pelas minhas incríveis notas a matemática…
Teoria boa e completa, só faltaram alguns exemplos em certas explicações dadas.

Amazing book. Tom Cruise uses the study tech for his roles in movies and to help him with dyslexia. I used to be in Scientology and still use this book today.

I used this book as a kid to learn to study, but it isn’t just for kids. It’s for people who need to learn to study, from the students you would expect to anyone wishing to get better at what they do and learn. I highly recommend this book and the course that comes with it.
