Graduate school handbook
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.

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

Good news

Doing a PhD can make you 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.
