About Book:
While the intended launch of this book at a major international conference this month has become a casualty of the COVID-19 social distancing restrictions, the publication is already having a strong commercial reception through online sales at ithinkwell.com.au – and one university in Ireland, where Mr. Kearns has done previous work, has bought a license to give the book to all its researchers and research students.
The book’s mix of psychology, motivational aids, health tips, workplace strategies, and practical advice are built on the methods used by thousands of researchers across the world that Mr. Kearns has worked with. In cataloging 52 tips that people have used to stay well during their PhD, post-doc or research career – one for each week of the year, as Mr. Kearns explains – the book recognizes that the demands of high-level research are significantly greater than many students anticipate.
