Life Coaching: A Cognitive Behavioural Approach

"This book has a dual-role. It appears to have been written primarily for those people either training to be, or who are already life coaches. Additionally, the authors have styled the book as a "self-help" book.

A typical problem with this dual-role approach is that such books can become daunting to those seeking self-help, due to the inclusion of details of previous academic research undertaken in the topic. This book does include details of academic research but the information included in this book does not distractlay readers.

In my opinion other books may be more suitable for people approaching the subject of being their own life coach for the first time. However, for readers who wish to advance their own knowledge of being their own life coach the book does explain some apprached and ideas that may be useful."

"I have studied many books on life coaching and this one has to be the least useful. The book is about behaviour so may sit in the Psychology section but is definately not for the purpose of life coaching. If you are embarking of a study of life coaching this book will not help."

"This book is absolutely essential if you are an aspiring or practising life coach. It deals with numerous strategies that you can easily process and readily apply but without appearing high brow or unmanageable. Indeed, i was so impressed with both authors ability to couch complex language in such an impressive coherent fashion. Key chapters for me were the ones dealing with procrastination and change, simply superb! and worth their weight in gold just for the techniques needed to acquire new perspectives. The authors have found a missing element in the coaching arena that of being able to synergise elements of life coaching, counselling, NLP, psychotherapy and performance coaching this facet gives real credibility and clout their findings/assertions and i heartily endorse it"
