Superlearning (book)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Superlearning is the title of a book on the subject of superlearning, a term for a system to help people learn large amounts of information quickly and easily. It was first published in 1979, authored by Sheila Ostrander and Lynn Schroeder with Nancy Ostrander. Later editions have been published.

The book focuses primarily on a system developed by Bulgarian scientist Georgi Lozanov. The system involves playing very specific, relaxing Baroque music with a tempo of 60 beats per minute as bits of information are read to the student with 4 or 12, but usually 8, beats between each piece of information. The tone of voice is alternated for each bit of information to break monotony, which hinders the learning process.

It also makes use of Raja Yoga, Chi and Music for better effects.
