Maybe we should get him this of course he probably does not believe in books unless it is the bible or the ones he wrote.
You need to develop your internal analytical tools as well as learn how to use computer tools to help speed any analysis you take on.
Start with Statistics for Dummies (don't be put off by the name as these books tend to be great for distilling information in an easy to read and concise manner).
Learn how to use software. Excel is the main workhorse for many businesses and other organizations. R is a free programming language which provides graphics and statistical analysis capabilities. Its steep learning curve is a hindrance to many people though. If you have an account with your university and if they have site licenses then you may be able to download software such as SAS, JMP, SPSS, etc. for free. Personally I load my data into an SQL based database and I use Tableau Software to do visualizations very quickly and easily. Tableau is prohibitively expensive for many people though.
Finally, find data that is interesting to you. Find data that you are naturally curious about. This will make it easier for you to come up with theses that you wish to prove.
