Working theory Book

Too bad there's no image here--at least two people I know are on the cover! Intriguing book--great advice early on for grad students and getting in to conferences, etc. The overall message, though, is depressing: basically, if you want to "make it," work long, hard hours every day, and, if you can, don't have kids. Also, embedded is implication that you might end up divorced. So it was rather depressing, despite the authors' attempts to provide insight into things like work-life balance. Best advice here, though, which I'd already read/heard elsewhere but bears repeating: 1) write often and regularly, not in binge sessions, and 2) submit stuff before you think it's perfect, because otherwise you'll never, ever publish. But as for the work-life "balance" "advice," I think I'll stick with what I'm doing already, and if that means I don't "make it" in rhet-comp, well, so be it.
