Useful and logical.... |
| This book is very useful to a struggling student (like myself), yet it doesnt actually say anything that surprising. It basically says...sit down, shut up, and WRITE! It does talk about using positive reinforcement though, which might be useful to some. When reading the part about "do some work then reward yourself with a phone call, or chocolate bar" I couldnt help but think "how about I don't write and just eat a chocolate anyway?" I suppose it is working on the assumption that you have some self control and some motivation to achieve, or else you wouldnt be doing a PhD in the first place. With this in consideration, I do think it is a useful book, and even just reading it is somewhat motivating. I am still trying to develop a writing addiction though...Ill let you know when I start feeling withdrawal symptoms on my days off! I'd buy it again, coz there is nothing to lose, and a PhD is too important to risk. |

Writing your dissertation...... |
| Okay. Is a pretty good guide with practical information. I guess i was expecting more specifics however about the writing process. |

How do you eat an elephant? |
There is an old joke "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time". This book is the how to eat the elephant. It breaks down the steps and the process, which can seem daunting and overwhelming at times.
If you take away nothing else, take away the concept of doing a little bit every day. You will complete whatever degree to are pursuing.
