The Health and Wellbeing Coaches' Handbook

'This timely publication addresses the escalating global demand for health and wellbeing coaching. With each chapter underpinned by rigorous research, the book stands as a beacon of knowledge, insights and inspiration to professionals dedicated to advancing this dynamic field.' Dr Suzy Green, CEO, The Positivity Institute 'Now is the perfect time for the publication of this book on the science and practice of wellbeing coaching. In the wake of a pandemic that brought the world to its knees, it has become increasingly clear that human wellbeing is the province of all coaching, whether in leadership, career, team/organizations or specifically, health. We have all become aware that wellbeing -- in every human domain -- is critical for success in life, which is why this book is important and well-timed. The editors have compiled a rich set of resources both scholarly and practical to support coaches in navigating the complexities of modern life that plague us all: time management, diet, lifestyle, balance, motivation, technology overload and so on. This book will be a "go-to" resource for coaches committed to coaching with compassion, while grounded in science. A must-read!' Jeffrey Hull, Executive Director, Institute of Coaching 'Since Hippocrates created holistic medicine, scholars have hunted for mind-body-spirit links. This is an amazing compilation of essays on coaching Parasympathetic Nervous System activation (i.e., renewal), somatic techniques and emotional contagion to improve well-being. Read it, your future health, happiness and joy, and that of your family, friends and colleagues at work is at stake!' Richard Boyatzis, PhD, Distinguished University Professor, Case Western Reserve University, Co-author of the international best seller, Primal Leadership and the new Helping People Change
