Amazing resource for doctoral students!!

As a current doctoral student in a clinical psychology program, I am thankful to have read this book. I will definitely be referring to it regularly, as it includes crucial information for success. Whether you're a prospective doctoral student, currently working on your dissertation, or anywhere in between, this comprehensive guide has you covered!

Broadly Applicable Success Principles

Although this audiobook is specifically focused on successfully completing an academic doctoral program, the principles are broadly applicable to almost any effort that requires persistence, rigor, and determination (like becoming a professional athlete or even establishing a career as a writer). The foundational concepts of vision, values, goals, and self-care are general life principles that everyone could benefit from.

Some non-fiction handbooks do not translate well into audiobook form because the content is highly reliant on charts, graphs, or diagrams that cannot be included in audio form. Dr. Frederick has overcome this obstacle by including a very comprehensive PDF document that accompanies the audiobook with the supporting material necessary for the audiobook to function as a handbook or manual, like the print version would.

This material, along with Dr. Frederick’s podcast, are invaluable resources for a candidate in pursuit of a doctoral degree.

Awesome and actionable book with a stellar narrator

First off, Jennifer Pickens can do it all - I am a fan of her thriller narration, but she took me through this self-help ride and I trusted her all the way. This audiobook has excellent, actionable steps, delivered in an artful way.

Helpful to all college students

This book is full of practical helpful tools for any student pursuing higher education. Written with warmth, humor, and wisdom, readers will find meaty take-aways on every page. Dr. Fredericks nonjudgmental tone will help you face this journey with honest self-appraisals that will help you keep your “sanity, health, and relationships intact.” This book should be mandatory reading for every doctoral student.
