Summary: Jump start a chapter with a shot of courage
Comment: The author packs discipline and confidence into a quick read that motivated me on more than one occasion as I wrote a dissertation about 13th century poetry written in a language I'd never studied formally.

It took re-reading a chapter here and there to coax me through writing my 300 page thesis, and since I had three children all born during the season of writing my dissertation, there were some days when 15 minutes came one minute at a time and left me with fragements that were undecipherable... still, I have to say that this book, an encouraging spouse, and a patient advisor helped me to get through the process.

If you're stuck and need to feel less guilt and more courage as you face the blank page, this book is for you. If you need a kick of energy and a method for moving forward, read a few pages and then get to work. You can do it!

Summary: worth more than gold
Comment: THis book is worth more than twice its weight in gold. I only bought it on the off-chance because it was listed as a book often bought along with another book I was buying, and in any case the price was so affordable. I am so glad I did. I was suffering from intellectual inertia - didn't know where or how to start my writing. This book helped me to see how to take small steps and just begin. I have only had it a few weeks, but already there is a marked difference in my approach to my thesis. I am actually getting something done. It will definitely be my Bible for the year to come.

Summary: one for the canon
Comment: If you're just starting your doctoral work and are terrified, buy this book. If you're already writing your dissertation and are stalled, buy this book. If you're a thesis advisor seeking to add another work to the canon on dissertation writing, buy this book. Joan Bolker has a ton of experience working with students; she has seen it all. Her tone combines "C'mon don't be a wuss, you can DO this," with the caring concern of any good mum. She gives the reader tips for working through all the worst possible moments of thesis writing and she covers a range of topics not specifically related to the writing but to all the other considerations: choosing your committee and then working with them; dealing with interruptions; life after the disseration, and more. I particularly like the chapter entitled "The Best Dissertation is a Done Dissertation." I think this is a terrific book.

Summary: Would NOT recommend.
Comment: If you are interested in a personal novel this may be the choice for you. I found the content disorganized, the content not as useful as A Dissertation Journey/Roberts. My agenda was looking for help in organizing my ideas, my sources, my paper prep. I was also hoping for some guidance in how to use school resourses (people) for guidance in my thesis. This book, Writing Your Dissertation in Fifteen... was not for me.This is what I recommend (based on my agenda): The Dissertation Journey: A Practical and Comprehensive Guide to Planning, Writing, and Defending Your Dissertation
