Want to live life on your own terms. Then this is the book for you

Customer Rating:

This book leaves no stone unturned in presenting you with the many facets of life coaching, helping you to make a daily positive impact on both your own life and the lives of those around you. The book is easy to navigate so that you can read it cover to cover or just dip in and out of a particular subject. I have no hesitation in recommending this book as the most informative and balanced book on life coaching and personal development that I have read, and believe me I have read a few. The book breaks down everything you need to know about life coaching and its benefits in easy to navigate sections and directs you to the key theories which guide the life coaching process. The author keeps you fully engaged throughout with exercises, case studies and suggestions on how to move your life forward from where you are currently to you would like to be. Having read the book you will want to help others in your circle. If you find yourself totally engaged and taking to the process like a duck to water then it even has a helpful section on how to pursue a life coaching profession of your own. Now how many other experts in a field tell you that you too can do this. That's the ultimate sign of the author wanting to make a difference. Ultimately this book is effective because as in the coaching process itself you set the agenda, you're in charge and the more you put into it the more you will get out.

Simple to apply, effective in results

Customer Rating:

Many of my own coaching clients are looking to continue their coaching journey after my Seven Lights programme has ended. My parting gift to them is a copy of Jeni Mumford's simple, yet powerful, Life Coaching for Dummies. The results and response from those that have worked their way step by step through the book are highly encouraging. Having checked out Jeni Mumford's website and blogs it is clear that Jeni is an extremely gifted and wonderfully creative writer, here she has adapted her style for the Dummies range with great effect; keeping it smart and simple. I look forward to her next book with great anticipation. Tim Downes Success Coach

Life Changing, Straight Talking, Practical. Insightful. Works!

Customer Rating:

I have 'wasted' so much money on so called coaching books, and have found them to be written for an audience who wish to become a coach rather than to recieve a coaching experience. Hallelujah! I always new I had untapped potential and this book has helped me unlock my 'endless resources' in practical ways - it has improved my relationships, my business and my future prospects. I have since purchased eleven copies for friends and family!

very boring and useless

Customer Rating:

I found the book very boring, it was hard to read from start to end. The author syas of herslef that she is very good with words, that quality certainly was not evident in the book. I am an academic teacher and found the book rather useless for me, no useful practical advice, no inspirational figure to whom I could link up. Some bits are taken from other books ('being, doing, having' comes from Shakti Gawain's 'Creative Visualisation', for example). After reading it, I have not yet understood what life coaching exactly is and whether or not everyone can profit from it.
