Life Changing Aug 25, 2009
By Tracy Thomas
Thank God I came across this book and the author in my desperation for a resource to help me get on track to even working on my dissertation.
The book clued me into everything that was getting in my way, and started me down a path where I can actually see how I will eventually finish this project. I'm afraid to think of where I would be, or should I say, not be, if I hadn't discovered this book.
December 13th. I am adding to my earlier review.
In my online courseroom today I stated the following to my classmates:
I can honestly say I lost what likely adds up to a few months, simply because I didn't know what I didn't know, and that made me very uncomfortable, so that the act of sitting down to work on this project felt like an exercise in pain avoidance. A book I can recommend that changed all of that for me is called
"Finish Your Dissertation Once and for All!: How to Overcome Psychological Barriers, Get Results, and Move on With Your Life"
~ Alison B. Miller
What once used to feel like a hate/hate relationship with my dissertation now feels like a Like/Like relationship that is bordering on a Like/Love relationship :)
Do yourself a favor and read this book.

for people who weren't born knowing how to write a dissertation Nov 01, 2009
By KB
This book contains everything Alison Miller learned through years of professional dissertation coaching--knowledge that I desperately needed as an 8th-year PhD student who had yet to produce a single chapter. Here's my advice: 1) Buy this book. 2) Read the first 50 pages and realize that you are not a failure as a graduate student just because you aren't having an easy time with the incredibly difficult process of writing a dissertation. 3) Go all out with the daily & weekly workplans she recommends--it might seem like an artificial process at first, but it's a process that now keeps me writing, and something I'm planning on doing for the rest of my career. Good luck!

Great book for all learners Feb 03, 2009
By Jennifer Lynn Collins
"JLC"
What this book has helped me realize is that over the years I have piled on negative emotions, thoughts, and behaviors about being a student that have now become an obstacle course for me as I finish my dissertation. What brought me to this book was frustration - I have been a student who has been motivated to learn from fear and this fear has driven my work patterns. This is not learning and this is not living. These patterns are ineffective and I want my life back.
This book has given me the tools to recognize: 1. many many people experience similar blocks when they really want to complete something. 2. certain patterns of behaviors are linked to certain patterns of emotions that I have believed. 3. I don't have to believe these emotions or behaviors - I can recognize the pattern and choose differently. I have used these tools to get through some major dissertation hurdles quickly.
It does not matter if you are writing your dissertation, you are beginning a bachelor's degree, or you are trying to learn a new language or tackle projects around the house. I have recommended this book to many people - including several who aren't in school. The bottom line is about learning and about recognizing how your potential has been unwittingly covered up by thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that you have unconsciously chosen. Buy this book! Get your life back!

A definate must have for students entering graduate school or doctoral program! Feb 11, 2011
By Steven Harrison
Hi all,
Dr. Miller's book, Finish Your Dissertation Once and for all is a book that I will cherish for a long time! Dr. Miller discusses with candor the common psychological problems many students face when writing an academic paper. Dr. Miller's book has taught me how to turn academic papers into manageable chunks. Dr. Miller's book has helped me understand that creating workplans for academic papers help overcome psychological barriers. Dr. Miller's book also taught me that trying to write papers as if your committee members and advisor makes writing hell. Dr. Miller's book expressed the importance of getting your thoughts on paper first, even if these thoughts are crappy. Dr. Miller stated that after your thoughts are on paper, the student can go back and refine the paper. Essentially, Dr. Miller's book has made writing academic papers more enjoyable for me. This book is must have for students entering a graduate degree program and doctoral degree program.

A boon for proscrastinators May 15, 2009
By Nimish Adhia
Though there are a lot of writing guides out there, what distinguishes this one is the discussion of emotional stumbling that are particular to the disseration writing process. The author knows the nature of the beast and the mind of a graduate student very well. I particularly liked the way she brings insights rational-emotive therapy to help her readers overcome insecurities that are typical among budding scholars. If procrastination is your problem, this book is written for you. I have greatly increased my writing output by following the ideas in her book, particularly the one about creating daily Action Plans.
