    This self-help book is designed for academics, from graduate students to
    tenured faculty. Professor Donald Hall helps readers engage in an active
    process of career management, goal setting, prioritization, and reflection
    on the norms that constitute what he calls "academic selfhood." All
    exhortations are coupled with clear, concrete, and practical strategies for
    responding productively to the many uncertainties of academic life.
