Of all the coaching theory books I've read to date, this is by far the best.

I felt it was well organized and comprehensive.

The examples of conversations meant to show good vs bad coaching techniques were a little weak, in my opinion, though I get why they were included.


Overall, I think this particularly book does a good job of exploring not only what coaching is but what is the psychology behind the various techniques employed.

By golly, I read this, so I am counting it as one of my books this year, even if it is the textbook for my coursework at Wellcoaches. Although not for casual entertainment (obviously--note the title; it is heavy into psychology), it is a fantastic read. I have a ton of respect for Margaret Moore and her colleagues, who have weaved together the theories that underlie great coaching and have uncovered best practices for coaching. She has revealed the hidden knowledge I needed all my life regarding how to connect with others and best support them (this applies to how I relate to myself, too, in the bargain). As a result, I'm processing a lot of information and striving to incorporate better ways of relating to and supporting those around me.

Excellent book for anyone in the healthcare fields who works with the public. Just finished this course, and in the process of becoming a certified wellness coach. Many of the most current theories in positive psychology summarized all in one place.
