Customer Reviews
1. The activities and assessments are presented in a clear, straight-forward manner, making them easy to implement in every-day coaching discussions with clients.
2. It's all grounded in scientific evidence, with extensive end notes, as well as "further reading" at the end of each chapter. This is NOT some woo-woo self-help book: it's got solid references and I LOVE that.
3. The book is written in an easy-to-read, conversational style, with loads of interesting examples and fascinating stories. If you're looking for a dry, laborious read, you'll have to look somewhere else.
That the author is both a psychologist AND a trained coach makes the book truly great: he understands the kinds of discussions we have with our clients, and so his suggestions make sense (i.e. they are not hypothetical practices).
I am a big fan of Robert Biswas-Diener (I loved his first book, too). I only wish I had found his stuff sooner.
Robert's writing is very succinct and easy to read. He gets to the point without making the topic too big and scary, but easy to implement. He writes in a manner that is very easy to digest and have fun at the same time.
The book is set up in a format that is easy to follow so you can find what you are looking for with ease.
Whether you are a seasoned coach or just beginning this book is one you must have on your shelve. You will find yourself going back to it over and over.
Great Job Robert!
