“This book offers is more depth to our existing understanding of mentoring … . Although the book is likely to produce the best effect when read from cover to cover, its chapters also work as stand-alone pieces. … another valuable contribution of the book comes from this exact reality: its recommendations and insights to practitioners, such as supervisors, teachers, or whoever wants to become a good mentor. … the book is a valuable contribution to the mentoring literature.” (Melina Aarnikoivu, Higher Education, November 15, 2021)
