While every PhD is unique, each one is a journey filled with challenge and struggle. How to PhD: The Graduate School Handbook is the first book of a series and also the first of its kind. It is a book filled with everything I wish I had known before starting graduate school.
Whether you are considering getting a PhD or have already started, this book is for you as it takes you through all the stages of getting the degree. It is complete with everything from how to get into graduate school to how to actually finish successfully.
Every chapter in this self-help book is meant to tackle a specific problem in your graduate school career. It all culminates in the most important chapter “Endgame” where I spell out how you can successfully wrap up your PhD. Here, I write about the FOUR STEPS that you can take for guaranteed and speedy graduation. Success is about knowing what it is going to take and this book will tell you just that.
The How to PhD book also includes excerpts from my next book, specifically on the following topics:
--To postdoc or not to postdoc, that is the tension
--Job Search: Why adding value is the best thing to do
Doing a PhD can make one feel isolated and lead to mental health problems. This is why How to PhD exists. My goal is to provide community, support, and actionable steps to help students succeed in PhD programs and overcome the challenges of academia.
