The definitive career guide for grad students, adjuncts, post-docs and anyone else eager to get tenure or turn their Ph.D. into their ideal job Each year tens of thousands of students will, after years of hard work and enormous amounts of money, earn their Ph.D. And each year only a small percentage of them will land a job that justifies and rewards their investment. For every comfortably tenured professor or well-paid former academic, there are countless underpaid and overworked adjuncts, and many more who simply give up in frustration. Those who do make it share an important asset that separates them from the pack: they have a plan. They understand exactly what they need to do to set themselves up for success. They know what really moves the needle in academic job searches, how to avoid the all-too-common mistakes that sink so many of their peers, and how to decide when to point their Ph.D. toward other, non-academic options.

Outwardly relaxed, laid-back, and happy with life on his family’s ranch, Ford takes comfort in the daily rhythms of his life.

Business takes him from his hometown, and when he finds a desperate woman standing outside his hotel room, clearly in pain, he does what he does best. Steps in to help her. What he doesn’t realize is that life as he knows it, from that moment is about to change forever after their encounter. Autumn Harris, the sweet new teacher in town and the woman he rescued, is a single mother and way too nice for the likes of him. He doesn’t want nice and sweet, or a relationship, because at night, when the door to his room is closed, often Ford’s life changes for the worse. Plagued with nightmares from an event that changed his life, he never wants anyone to see his demons. Especially not Autumn. Can their demons be tamed? Autumn desperately needs a life change, both for herself and her son, Ritchie. So when she reads about a teaching position in Ryker Falls, Colorado, she jumps at the chance.

Right up until the day she walks into Ford Winter again. He’s the man who tenderly looked after her, the man who showed her such gentle kindness when she’d no one else to turn to. The tall, imposing rancher with the easy smile but shadowed eyes. Autumn senses something is off with Ford. Something dark is plaguing him, his unspoken demons obvious in his manner and rejection.

Hearing voices or seeing images is much more common than one might think. Nevertheless, mainstream psychiatry still approaches such 'hallucinations' as signs of a mental disorder. This book shows how outdated this view really is. Experiential expert Tilly Gerritsma shares her experiences with hearing voices and related phenomena and describes how she has learned to deal with them, helped by her main, positive voice. She shows that hearing voices may offer a potential for psychological, emotional, and spiritual growth. Psychologist and philosopher Titus Rivas gives a concise overview of theories about hallucinations. He rejects one-sided bio-psychiatric theories and favors alternatives, such as social psychiatry. He stresses the reality and normality of psychic phenomena. People with paranormal experiences have not gone mad.
