This book has that intangible magic, where it is so much greater than the sum of its parts. After finishing this book, it was filled with my bookmarks of places to revisit. I still often am thinking about and re-digesting the ideas in this book.At its face, this book is trumpeting a 'write-every-day' strategy for productivity. But by my read, this book is actually about meditation. The prose is even meditative in nature. Boice wants us to see how we can use meditative ideas to improve our writing productivity and quality. However, I can imagine that the readers who are not into his ideas will complain about how repetitive it is. But, part of meditation is repetition, and thus this structure only adds to the books mystique.Anyone who is in a creative field, not just academics, would benefit from reading this book. For me, following Boice's advice to the letter of the law will never work for me, but I have implemented many of his strategies into my writing process, and I am reaping the benefits. So incredibly happy I came across this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great book for frantic new faculty! *by E***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2015* When will someone reprint this book? Every academic I know who has read it has found it very helpful. Too bad used copies are like $50 at this point.The advice really covers every aspect of an assistant professor's professional life. As such, it will have something for everyone.My writing habits were already strong, but the tips on writing lectures made my presentations more focused and comprehensible to my students... and saved me a ton of time and anxiety.My partner had teaching down but used Boice's advice to develop a writing habit and now manages to get some research done even on teaching days (which he had never even attempted before).My friend C sought out a mentor on the strength of Boice's findings, something that wouldn't otherwise have occurred to him, and which has given him a much deeper understanding of the personalities and politics of our Department than I have. And my friend F had to read it twice but she has finally managed to start declining some of those extra administrative and teaching tasks that she always thought she had to say yes to!The real strength of this book is of course that it's data-driven. A lot of the advice (such as the lecture prep advice that so helped me) is not intuitive. I'm not sure you'd find it anywhere else. And Boice really understands all the psychic problems that can hold new faculty back--from panic to defensiveness to depression to simple cluelessness. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wise words from a superb teacher & scholar *by H***H on Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2000* In an earlier book, First-order Principles for College Teachers, Bob Boice advised us to moderate classroom incivilities, learn to begin before feeling ready, appreciate the value of waiting, and work in short reflexive intervals. In this latest book, Boice expands his focus to the other aspects of a productive and emotionally satisfying scholarly career. He begins with teaching and then goes on to write about non-teaching activities. In masterful strokes, he lays out the case for mindful work as the key to teaching, writing, and service.Boice urges us to focus on the process of working, rather than its products. We need to work with constancy and moderation, rather than in hypermanic bursts that ultimately burn us out.Moderation is the key, and Boice makes the case with persuasive arguements and excellent examples. I felt my own tension draining away even as I read the book! I have put his principles into practice in my own work, and I will buy copies for all my graduate students, so they can do the same.This is a wonderful, wise, and witty book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/6492509-advice-for-new-faculty-members-1st-edition](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/6492509-advice-for-new-faculty-members-1st-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
