The Buzan Study Skills Handbook
17 Jan 07

Every student has the potential to achieve everything they aspire to.  They just need the right tools.

In our learning institutions we are filled with knowledge on every subject under the sun.  However, there is a big hole in our learning.  Very few of us are ever taught how to learn.

The traditional way of teaching may help some students pass exams.  But imagine if every student were given powerful techniques to maximise their knowledge intake and recall ability.  Then they wouldn’t just excel at passing exams, they would have a set of tools to help them be high achievers throughout life.

Tony Buzan, the world’s leading guru on memory and brain power, is the pioneer of these techniques.  He has worked with governments around the world from China to Scotland, introducing the Buzan Organisation Study Technique or BOST®, which is based on his work, combined with state-of-the-art information on learning. 

Honed from 35 years’ experience, BOST® has been specifically developed for students from GCSE to undergraduate.  It reveals the secrets of advanced brain and memory skills, which will enable them to learn better and faster.

These techniques, which have already helped thousands of students worldwide, are now available in Tony Buzan’s new book, The Buzan Study Skills Handbook.  Students who use this book will, quite simply, be more successful than students who don’t.  They will:

  • Develop efficient and powerful new study skills.
  • Learn about how their brains work, how to superpower their memory and how to speed read.
  • Gain note taking skills that will save 90% of their time when taking notes and 90% when reviewing.
  • Learn mind mapping and be able to apply this powerful, creative tool to every aspect of study, including how to enhance exam-taking skills.
  • Be able to memorize an entire book or chapter on a single page.  The art of Précis at its best.

The Buzan Study Skills Handbook opens a door on knowledge and makes studying a personal, interactive, continually changing and stimulating experience.  Most importantly it will arm every student with the tools they need to gain, remember and recall the knowledge with which they will ace any exam, test and indeed life. This is a completely new and positive way to learn, and it works for every individual.
