  • Self-help book
  • Everything you need to know

Includes the below-listed and more:

  • Sample Statement of Purpose from a successful graduate school application

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.

In between, you will learn about:

  • the importance of finding a good advisor,
  • finding a good advisor,
  • how to pass the candidacy exam or "prelim",
  • fighting demoralization,
  • and how to communicate your research, including writing papers.

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!
You can get the book for free! Scroll to where it says 'Get it free' on the book's website - howtophd.org/

Then, simply type in your email and I will send you instructions on how to get the book for FREE.

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.
