As with all essay collections, some of the contributions here are stronger or more immediately personally applicable than others—I found the chapter on post-retirement life a tad smug in the current job market (I retired from an Ivy League and renovated a second home before travelling around the world! Now I have the freedom to get prestigious fellowships whenever I want!) and the one on faith a bit disingenuous. Others had me nodding in agreement: on graduate school, on imposter syndrome, on the fear of being an "academic spinster", on being a medievalist from a working-class background. (That last actually had me fist-pumping in agreement.)
If you're an academic in the humanities (or have ambitions to be one), I'd recommend at least dipping into this. ( )
