This book was given to me years ago when I was working on my Ph.D. Its a practical little book (who needs a lot of reading when you are already working on a dissertation?!) It made me feel like I wasn't alone and described the ups and downs of the dissertation journey. Now, 15 years after completing my dissertation successfully, I bought copies as gifts for doctoral students in my university class. The title of the book says it all.
