Publisher's summary

Dr. L.A. Davis earned her Doctorate of Education in Organizational Leadership with an Emphasis in Development in 2018. Her dissertation focused on the blind or visually impaired to understand how this population perceived employment, and how those perceptions motivated them to seek employment.

In her first book, she writes about her experience as an online doctoral learner, the difficulties she faced, and how the words “Thank You” changed her journey. She included several tips and some websites she used to help her get through her journey. Though the book is targeted to Ed.D. and Ph.D. learners, many of the tips included in her book can be used for any level of higher education. This audiobook can be listened to by anyone who wants to understand the emotional turmoil of earning a Ph.D. or EdD. It can also be listened to by anyone who wants to have a good laugh from some funny moments written in this audiobook.

hmm, second rating

I enjoyed it, resonated with it and shared it with other scholar practitioners. I chose to read this book because I'm 6 weeks from committee assignment and wanted to know what to expect.

Opened this doctoral learner’s eyes

Dr.Davis,
Thank you for writing this book. I am a doctoral learner, studying online at the same university you write about (I’m guessing, but fairly certain). I am near the end of my 4th class, and so far, it’s wonderful. You book showed me some realities I hadn’t a clue about. Thank you so much for all the insight and advice you provided. I won’t soon forget it. In fact, I will be reading your book over to make sure I caught everything. Congratulations on all your hard work and your success! You inspire! I am 68 years old, and I am no quitter, and now I have valuable information to help in numerous ways. Thank you again.

Lacked substance

I was not motivated by the book. Dr. Davis did a lot of ranting and talking in circles.
