Wellness Coaching for Lasting Lifestyle Change - Second Edition Paperback – June 16, 2014

This is one of my favorite coaching books. I have read this book several times in my coaching career and has helped me tremendously. This book is used in several coaching programs and I see why. Dr. Arloski does a fantastic job explaining the ins and outs of coaching.

Wellness Coaching for Lasting Lifestyle Change* by Michael Arloski has been an amazing resource for me.This book gave me a strong foundation in coaching, full of practical tips and insights that I could apply right away. It not only helped me grow as a coach, but it was also a valuable study tool while I prepared for the National Board exam for health and wellness coaching.Dr. Arloski’s approach is clear, helpful, and full of real-world strategies. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to deepen their coaching skills and make a real impact.

I had the privilege to be trained as a health and wellness coach from Dr. Arloski through his company Real Balance Wellness a few years ago. Since then I have gone through their Advanced and Mentor coach trainings. I feel extremely fortunate that I was trained in their methodology. I am currently utilizing my coaching skills as I start up a health coaching program in a teaching hospital's primary care setting. I used Dr. Arloski's original book as my coaching Bible. As I read through his second edition I am just as impressed. He makes wellness attainable to all of us by his deep understanding of behavioral health. The references to other founders in the wellness field and mentions of helpful resources truly makes this book an invaluable resource. He has done all the hard work for us coaches and passed it on to us in this book. Every time I read a new chapter and apply it in the coaching session, myself and the client benefit. This book is a go to guide for all coaches and for anyone who wants to make sustainable lifestyle changes.

Dr Arloski does a great job in covering the foundations of coaching and beyond. The book provides lots of useful information for day to day practice. I really like the topic of journaling which I now use personally and with my clients.

The content of this book is excellent. The conversational writing style with multiple study references is engaging. I would have given this book 5 stars but the number of grammatical errors is extremely distracting.

This book was recommended to study for the NBC-HWC exam. I found it very relevant for the topics of study on the exam and for coaching in general. Really impressed.

This was a textbook for my functional medicine health coaching program. It is EXCELLENT. So much wisdom inside. I’ve highlighted and made notes all over it.

Enjoyed reading this book. A lot of practical information especially if you are a beginner from coaching technics to coaching agreement. Highly recommend.
