What if I told you...
You could get better grades, with less studying than you are doing now.
Smart people aren’t just gifted – they have a different learning strategy (that you can copy).
Most people have no idea how they learn things. As a result, they can't train themselves to be smart.
These things may seem unbelievable. However, using the tactics in Learning on Steroids, I’ve been able to:
- Aced university finals with little or no studying.
- Scored first in an advanced inter-province chemistry exam. Without even being aware I was needed to take the test until five minutes before writing it.
- Read over 70 books in a year.
- Scored in the top three percentile for a national exam. Despite never having taken the course being tested.
- Minimized course work to maintain an A average while running a business, taking frequent international trips and still having time to socialize and party.
I say this not to brag, because my accomplishments are relatively modest. In researching extraordinary learners I've found people who have achieved A averages with triple the full-time course load, memorized entire books and breezed through degree programs designed to fail most people.
I’m saying this because I believe you can do it too.
How is This Possible?
The answer is holistic learning. This is the strategy of learning I’ve taught to tens of thousands of students who have either bought my book, or read my many free articles.
What is holistic learning? Holistic learning is basically the opposite of rote memorization. Rote memorization forces you to pound information into your skull with the hopes that it will stick later.
Holistic learning does the opposite. Instead of memorizing, you learn by making connections between ideas. This is closer to how your brain actually works, and it allows you to “get” a subject, not just spit out a list of formulas.
When I first introduced holistic learning, it created a sensation. Hundreds of thousands of people have read the free articles and ebooks. Thousands more have purchased and downloaded Learn More, Study Less, my detailed guide to learning faster.
Despite this success, I wanted to do more. I didn’t want to just create a manual people could read and forget. While many people have successfully implemented holistic learning, there is a big difference between reading about rapid learning tactics and actually living them.
Learning on Steroids:
A Gym Membership for Your Mind
My solution was to create Learning on Steroids. This is a program that combines the ideas you need to learn rapidly, the kick in the ass you need to get started as well as a community and coaching to make sure they stick.
The program has three parts:
Twice monthly implementation guides. These each detail a new rapid learning tactic from speed reading to flow-based notetaking. Each of them has been extensively tested in real academic situations, and the guide includes detailed steps for making it a part of your life.
Weekly ass-kicking emails. Talk is cheap, action is what matters. These will allow you to follow along with the group, removing the mystery of the steps to becoming a rapid learner. Also, it will encourage you to stop reading and start improving the way you study.
Community and coaching. You will have access to a forum where you can communicate, share and problem solve with hundreds of other learners in the program. I'm also available for coaching in the forum, and by email, so if you get stuck you won't be alone.
Best of all, you can participate with any subject, from anywhere in the world.
Make 2010 Your Year for Rapid Learning!
The bad news about this offer is that for this March launch of the program, I only have 300 seats available (in total). Last time I offered this program, we sold out in 36 minutes.
And, now, with over 5x as many list members as available spaces, I wouldn't be surprised if we sold out quickly again.
The total price is $14 per month, and with your first month you’ll get:
- The rapid learning manifesto
- The two monthly implementation guides
- A month of ass-kicking emails, community and coaching support
In addition, if you get in before we sell out, I’ve also managed to include great new bonuses coming out in the first month:
- An Audio Training Guide for Rapid Language Learning - Benny Lewis speaks 8 languages and mastered 7 in under a decade. He’ll share his rapid learning method for becoming fluent in under three months.
- Becoming a College Superstar Audio Training with Cal Newport - Cal Newport here shares the key ideas that allowed him to complete his MIT PhD, publish three books and launch a wildly popular student success blog.
- How to Learn Any Skill (Video + PDF Report) - You'll also get access to a video guide where I explain the methods used in the program to practice new learning skills. Also included is the Ultimate Training Guide, which will teach you how to learn any skill.
- Six Bonus Implementation Guides - In addition to your regular, twice monthly, guides, you’ll also get access to six previous implementation guides just for signing up.
All of this you can get for just $14 for the first month.
The rapid learning manifesto and your first two implementation guides are avaiable immediately after you sign up. The monthly implementation guides and bonuses will be given throughout the month as we move through the program together.
Payments are made automatically each month, however you can cancel easily, at any time. More, I've included a 60-Day Money Back Guarantee if you’re in any way unhappy. I’ve had very few returns, but after selling thousands of guides, I can say that the several people who have requested refunds have received them promptly.
This offer won’t be around for long.
Currently, I only have capacity for 300 students in the program. The amount of people on the list is a over 1600, which means over 80% of the people receiving this offer will be unable to get it.
I hate to turn down students who could really benefit, but I don’t have a choice. My only suggestion, if you’re reading this and the offer is still available, is to act now. Because it will probably be gone soon.
Even if we don't have a rapid sell-out, because of the group nature of the program, I can only hold registration open for 72 hours. After that time, regardless of the remaining seats, registration will be closed.
Membership is 14 USD per month, and you can cancel at any time.
Join now. (We're now open. However we might sell out soon, so get your seat!)
Testimonials:
Learn More, Study Less
Testimonials are hand-picked, so they are not average customers, but customers who have specifically written to thank me or review the book.
I'm recommending this ebook because I believe it to be of great value for anyone trying to learn something, especially if you're a student. Scott has taken the process of learning and has hit upon the methods that most quick learners use, breaking it down into easily understandable and practical steps that any of us can implement. If you want to learn like the best learners do--the people who make learning seem easy, like Scott--this method will help you get there."
- Leo Babauta, founder of Zen Habits
“I've since used Scott's resources to develop my learning technique. Learning becomes easier and fun because of how I now retain information 10x better.”
- Tommy Pang, writer of Option Mentality
Thank you for existing. When, I read Learn More, Study Less I was a mess. I had no direction except school, and even that made me miserable. Despite being in advanced programs during highschool, I was only a C student. I wasn't doing too much better in college. Until that is, my friend lent me your book.
Learn More, Study Less made sense--it didn't sound like bullshit. I used you as motivation. Any time a moment seemed to hard, or too stressful, I'd whip open your blog and read something. Before I knew it, I was back hard at work.
Now I am a completely different person. I live a blessed, full, life now. I can't thank you enough, but I'm of the belief that people who deserve thanks very rarely hear it. So, here it is: Thank you Scott, for everything you have done.

"I read your book, Learn More, Study Less, and it totally blew my reality I used to memorize everything before, now I'm using holistic learning. I recommend that everyone reads your book. You have many satisfied customers"
- Parminder
I have read Learn More, Study Less, and I think it's great, and has certainly helped, and continues to help me learn better than I had been.
- Ryan
A while ago I read your article on holistic learning, and also downloaded the e-book. I was a first year university student then and had gotten through high school mainly by memorization and late night cramming. When I got to university, I nearly failed most of my courses. I was taking an introductory course for organic chemistry, general physics, etc. and the load was too much for my previous study tactics. It was the first time that I would study well in advance and still perform horribly on an exam, and pretty dark time for me.
I appreciate your articles because they gave me hope that maybe the problem was not that I was not cut out for my chosen profession, or that I should give up on a lifelong goal, but instead there was a problem with the way I was organizing things. The next semester, I came across your articles during midterm exams, and I've certainly been doing a lot better.
