Summary:

Coaching Positively is well-grounded yet refreshingly practical. The author focuses in particular on recent findings from positive psychology. Like many other coaches, managers and consultants, he has found this relatively new field to be inspiring and to offer real practical insights into his work. It is proving to be of enormous value to people who are interested in what works rather than what does not and who aim to fulfill themselves by developing their natural strengths.
