Wellness Coaching for Lasting Lifestyle Change

Bought this book for a course I'm taking - found it highly insightful and on point with my studies.

I have learned so much from this book. It was worth every penny as I start my Health and Wellness coaching journey.

Arloski's work here is the foundation almost every legitimate health coaching program traces back to. He built the field, and this book is the map. I first read it years ago and still revisit it regularly. The strengths-based positive psychology framing of behavior change has held up across hundreds of client sessions, and the "coaching to the gap" framework was foundational for how I structure mine. New coaches will get clarity on the role and the methodology. Experienced coaches will find their fundamentals get sharper. Highly recommend.

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.
