Excellent content, although it read as though it'd been patched together from blog posts or something as it was repetitive in parts. Made me reflect on the sort of trainer I want to be, and the values that are important to me as a human. Inspiring stuff actually, although I sort of wish I'd had a hard copy to make notes from.

Very inspiring for the mind of a self-trained coach, mentor, trainer. The kind of book you want to keep close for future references to refresh some great insights.
