Mastering Your PhD: Survival and Success in the Doctoral Years and Beyond by Patricia A. Gosling and Bart D. Noordam.

This book is an outstanding guide for prospective PhD students or those who are early on in their graduate career. However, since the book also addresses critical issues, it will be useful to any student, regardless of year, who is struggling with the challenges of graduate school.

The topics discussed in the book include advice on how to get started successfully, how to communicate with your PI effectively, how to plan, and deal with common challenges that emerge through graduate school.

While written specifically for PhD students in the sciences, the book addresses universal concepts that will prove to be useful for any PhD student.

Grab a copy of Mastering Your PhD from Amazon.com today for yourself or for a PhD student you know.
