BOOK
RECOMMENDATIONS
 Check out my new Amazon book store!
Over the years I have read
hundreds of books on personal development, business
skills and psychology - it's as though I knew
that one day I would be a life coach and would
need to draw on the work of these great writers!
Listed below are my personal
favourites - those that have really inspired,
influenced and helped me. I hope that you will
find them equally valuable. I've put the books
into categories, to help you navigate the list
faster, and you'll see that some fall into two
categories.
Over the next couple of months
I will be adding reviews of all these books, which
I hope you will find useful. Indeed - if you are serious
about wanting to improve any areas of your life, I
would suggest that you get reading now! I will be
adding further suggested reading as I discover more
great books.
All of my recommended books
listed below are linked to Amazon.co.uk, where you
can get hold of them at a significant discount, and
have them delivered directly to your home in just
a few days. In addition, I have recently added a couple
of e-books, which are available for immediate purchase
and download.
And yes - all my bookcases
at home are full, I always ask for book tokens
for my birthday and a shopping trip is not complete
without a visit to the bookshop!
For information and reviews on the books below just cut and paste the title of the book into the Amazon search box.

  "Metaphors in Mind" by James Lawley and Penny Tompkins
ISBN 0-9538751-0-5
This book covers the theory of metaphor, the use of Clean Language and transformation through symbolic modelling. It provides a method whereby individuals can become aware of the metaphorical nature of their communications, and a process that honours their metaphors as an accurate description of their world, and then allows them to develop them through the use of clean questions. I have found this to be a powerful new way of thinking about, and facilitating, the process of change - useful in both my coaching practice and for gaining personal insights.

"Don't
sweat the small stuff." by Richard Carlson
ISBN 0-340-70801-8
This
book provides simple strategies for living a more
fulfilled and peaceful life, by explaining how we
can stop letting the little things in life drive us
crazy. It’s written as 100 short essays, so it's easy
to dip into. My favourite piece of advice is the suggestion
that we ask ourselves ‘will this still matter in a
year’s time?’ when something irritating happens –
because the answer is nearly always no, so it puts
such ‘small stuff’ into perspective.

"The Law of Attraction" by Michael J Losier ISBN 0-9732240-1-0.
The subtitle of this book is "The Science of Attracting more of what you want and less of what you don't want" - which sums it up nicely! The theory is that you get more of what you pay attention to - so beware of the things you keep complaining about, and your negative self talk! Michael Losier provides an easy three step formula for identifying what you want and then attracting it. There are some interesting chapters on how to use language in a different, more poweful way, some worksheets to help you apply the process and case studies to illustrate clearly how the Law of Attraction works. I enjoyed Michael's clear writing style and can highly recommend this book.
