YOUR TRANSFORMATIVE ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE AWAITS. ARE YOU READY TO TRIUMPHANTLY CROSS OVER YOUR PHINISHLINE? LET'S AFFIRM THE PH.D. WITHIN! THIS BOOK IS A BEACON OF LIGHT FOR SO MANY CURRENT AND ASPIRING PH.D. STUDENTS. THE MIXTURE OF WISDOM, ENCOURAGEMENT, REFLECTION ACTIVITIES, AND AFFIRMATIONS PROVIDE A HOLISTIC PERSPECTIVE THAT PROMOTES SCHOLARLY SUCCESS AND WELL-BEING. IT TACKLES THE HARD QUESTIONS WE NEED TO FACE, BOTH INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY, AS STUDENTS MOVE THROUGH THE PH.D. PROCESS IN SUCH A UNIQUE WAY. I WISH I HAD THIS BOOK TO REFLECT ON DURING MY JOURNEY AND I KNOW IT WILL HELP COUNTLESS STUDENTS MAKE IT TO THEIR PHINISHLINE.
