'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

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!'
