my first ever 1 star on goodreads.
I have only finished this book because it is required at my university.
Learned nothing new.
Basic ideas presented as intricate and mystical, and by means of an unnecessarily complicated language.
Plenty of repetitions and numerous big pictures, makes you wonder whether the sole guideline for the authors was to boost the number of pages.

The Art & Science of Coaching: Inner Dynamics of Coaching focuses on the psychology of change and the mental processes that support it. The structure moves from foundational ideas about how we perceive reality to the development of the “Hero” concept—an individual evolving through life.

The book blends anecdotes and storytelling, which makes it engaging, though sometimes a bit scattered. Still, the tools and insights are there. It’s an inspiring read, but it could benefit from a clearer, more actionable framework for real-world application.

First book out of three from the same author.
May comments are the same as for the3rd book:

This is some kind of alternative to NLP as the authors are part of Erickson Coaching.
I am already a lecturer at the bachelor degree and project management.
I read a lot of self-help books and wen to NLP trainings.
I did not learn anything new.
It is rather complex to apply.
Quite long and complex to read.

Great guide to orienting your inner self for coaching conversations where you help guide clients to the answers rather than give out advice. Even if you’re not into coaching, I think the formula for happiness is well worth the read on its own.

Отлично! Отличная книга для желающих раскрыть себя, осознать в чем личные промахи и как их избежать в дальнейшем. Книга поможет понять как работает коуч. Для всех желающих сделать коучинг своей профессией тут найдется масса полезной информации.
