5.0 out of 5 stars It's been 2 months since purchase and my partner defended her PhD thesis since
Reviewed in the United States on 29 October 2020

This book is just wonderfully empathic. A lot of reading materials for PhD students are full of tough love, but this particular author talks about difficult steps with a lot of grace, positive thinking, and a productive take on finishing things for the sake of regaining independence and charting your own path forward as an almost-doctor. Lots of thoughts on how different people write and what works for them. There's a section on struggles with one's advisor. There's a section on hitting a wall while writing. Lots of ideas on starting and getting into the flow of writing. This book really acknowledges that in order to become a PhD, one must first become a writer, and a writer very much alike to those who write actual books of non-fiction. Once a PhD student accepts this and thinks of their thesis as a piece of creative writing with a heavy dose of supporting citations and existing science, things begin to look clearer and more manageable. Also, this review was written by my partner, whose PhD dissertation I survived, and who turned her dissertation proposal into a finished dissertation in exactly 5 weeks, falling onto this book whenever things got tough. She wishes she had gotten a copy 5 years sooner.

Find the personal experiences of the author and her dissertation writing very inspirational and informative. I am puzzled about some of the negative reviews. I am not sure if they were expecting this book to write the dissertation for them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Encouraging and reassuring, this is an essential for anyone stressing about their dissertation!

Great tips, slightly annoying personal style of writing but I think it actually worked quite well in the context. Suitable for anyone writing a bit piece (not just students), I got this for my MSc, after a recommendation from someone who did a history PhD, so it's very applicable. I think my dissertation would have been way more stressful without this handy little book to guide me through the process, step by step (15 mins by 15 mins!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Soo helpful!
Reviewed in Germany on 11 June 2019

When I was working on my Master Thesis - on top of a fulltime job, this book really helped me stay on track. There were many helpful ideas, especially how to journal and write down the process of what you are doing right now - and what you need to do as next steps! It helps to break down that big chunk of a paper into small morsels that are easy to digest. I have finished my Masters about two years ago and I am sure, studying this book has contributed greatly to the product. The Investment in buying the book - even though for quite a while, it was just sitting in my bookshelf - was well worth it!
