Is solely focused on wellbeing issues, as opposed to sub categories or occasional book chapters or research papers draws on existing resources – blogs, networks, hashtags, teach-ins, that will provide ongoing support beyond the scope of the book based on existing evidence on the practicalities of what helps (and hinders) wellbeing in academia, while taking a critical view about said evidence which may be well-intentioned but not always accessible uses a pragmatic approach based around the author’s extensive experience of media advice giving, critiquing self-help, and offering training and support to researchers at all levels, working from low through to high income country settings. Is written by an author who has extensive personal experience of disability, chronic illness, and mental health; alongside supporting students in a pastoral care role for over 25 years.
