BOOKS

Coaches read tons of personal development books so their clients don't have to! Even so, there are some books that I do recommend to clients. A few of my favorites are:

Take Time for Your Life by Cheryl Richardson
Richardson is a very well-known coach and author whose initial coaching focus was work and life balance. This book provides countless strategies and resources to help improve your life.

StrengthsFinder 2.0 by Tom Rath
The first-rate book, Now, Discover Your Strengths by Marcus Buckingham and Donald O. Clifton, Ph. D, contains the original version of the StrengthsFinder profile. Rath's book contains the updated version of this eerily accurate assessment, which will identify your five most significant strengths or "talent themes." Know your strong points and let them guide your career and life choices, and you will be happier, more successful, and fulfilled.

Learned Optimism by Martin E.P. Seligman, Ph.D.
If you would like to learn how to be more optimistic and less self-critical, Seligman, one of the leaders in the field of Positive Psychology, is a great starting point.

If the Buddha Dated by Charlotte Kasl, Ph.D.
This is a relationship book designed to help you find a romantic partner without all the anxiety and uncertainty that dating typically entails. But this book is also an introduction to many Eastern philosophy concepts, such as non-attachment, that are useful way beyond the dating realm.

Working Identity by Herminia Ibarra
Career transitions are not always as clear-cut as we would like. For those considering a career change, Ibarra provides inspiring stories and guidance on how to successfully reinvent your career, one step at a time, through experimentation, networking, and a redefining of your professional identity.

Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway by Susan Jeffers, Ph.D.
Fear of something (decisions, failure, even success) can hold many people back as they try to make shifts in their careers or personal lives. This is an excellent primer on how to overcome your fears and move forward with your life.
