About this listen

You enrol in a PhD, believing in the project and committed to its completion. But something goes wrong. A supervisor leaves the institution, becomes sick, or discards you from their research team or lab.

What happens next? Who can rescue you?

This book—Rescue Yourself: How to complete a PhD without a supervisor—helps students organize their habits, strategies, behaviour and emotions to finish a PhD. Let's start our work from the fear, confusion and worry, and scaffold a thesis to success.

A courageous book full of personal stories and reflection. Coupled with this in most of the 11 chapters are Tara's 10 tips. I loved the book and highly recommend it to other Higher Degree students.
