Why read a book about getting a PhD?

As a general rule, PhD students and their supervisors tend to focus
primarily, or even exclusively, on the content of the research that will
go into the doctoral thesis. Other issues are often taken for granted:
how to organize your work, give a presentation, work in a team, cope
with your supervisor, and how to effectively manage your time.When
asked, former PhD students usually claim that the general experience
of being a graduate student, which includes learning how to solve
complex problems and work well with others, was of greater value to
their careers than the actual topic of their thesis.
The goal of this book is to help PhD students master some of the
skills that have been proven effective in theworld outside of academia,
and to help PhD students gain mastery over the non-scientific aspects
of getting a PhD.Hopefully, this bookwill help graduate studentsmore
fully enjoy their doctoral years, as well as provide somemuch-needed
support as they prepare for their post-PhD careers.
