Philosopher Steven M. Cahn, the author of numerous works about higher education, here offers his most recent thoughts about life in academia. Among the issues he discusses are building a professorial career, motivating one's students, making strong faculty appointments, choosing effective administrators, and maintaining a commitment to academic ethics. His approach is principled and practical, his writing clear and concise, his illustrations realistic and illuminating. The book is at once a mirror of the academic world as it is and a map to what it should be.

Industry Reviews

“This book is a brisk and conversational guide to a successful academic career. With characteristic clarity, and with evident love and respect for the academic life, Steven Cahn draws on his wide and deep experience to offer an informed perspective on thriving throughout all stages of that life, from being a student to being a professor, a department chair, dean, provost or president. Cahn has, himself, had success in all those roles and at many different leading institutions of higher education, so this book—a lively read—offers a font of practical wisdom.”
—Karen Hanson, Executive Vice President, Provost, and Professor of Philosophy Emerita, University of Minnesota, and Executive Vice President, Provost, and Rudy Professor of Philosophy Emerita, Indiana University
