I started with Chapter 8- Just Don’t Do It! and it was timely! It prevented me from stepping into the unforeseen and unhealthy circumstances.
It is a book which you will find answers and insights to some silent points in academic promotion.
It is a MUST read book, if you work in higher education industry.

A new type of reading for me.
I always into Chinese History and Fantasy, but this is something different.
Good reading for me since I am now directly involved in Higher Education and working with professors and educationist.
Waiting for more titles from the same author.
