This two-volume book is a timely companion for every young mind venturing into the world of research--a world filled not only with opportunities for discovery, but also with moments of challenge and growth. Drawing on the realms of philosophy, psychology, and critical and creative thinking, this book offers numerous perspectives, arguments, ideas, and strategies on the pitfalls, development opportunities, skills acquisition, and career opportunities of a Ph.D. As a pragmatic guide, it comprises two volumes: Volume I - Pitfalls and Development Opportunities of a Ph.D. and Volume II - Skills Acquisition and Career Opportunities of a Ph.D. These volumes are designed for current and prospective Ph.D. students who aspire to conduct original research across all fields of STEM and STEM convergence. Volume I is made of nine chapters which are organized into three parts. Part I sets the stage for a Ph.D. by providing the essential background and foundations. Part II exposes the many diverse pitfalls of a Ph.D., such as research-related, writing and publication-related, management-related, persona and motivation-related, and generic Ph.D. pitfalls. Part III documents the numerous professional and personal development opportunities of a Ph.D. Drawing on years of professional research, mentoring, and his unique perspective as a founder and advocate for young scholars in North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia, the author weaves a guide that is practical, honest, and truly inspiring. He wrote this book for master's students in their final year, beginning Ph.D. students, professionals seeking to accelerate their careers via a professional Ph.D., and industry professionals intending to speed up their careers through an industrial Ph.D.
