Books that you should read to get into life coaching

During any type of course a favorable element for the formation of the students is the bibliography. If we are in a classroom we have directly a teacher leading the progressive course of information to us. Along with this applies the bibliographic reference, sources of content relating to our interest in the subject of study. For any course there are always books that we need to consult in order to enrich our notions and learn to take what is necessary.

The Element

One of the most relevant books for training in various spheres of life is "The Element" by Ken Robinson, a book with the power to encourage the strengthening of our personal identity as humans. The purpose is to become aware of our potential and the limitations that hold us back; in its lines we can find hopeful arguments about several personal questions. This author uses coaching methods such as self-reflection through questions that stimulate the reader's creativity and imagination to design a different reality of our state.

Personality theory

An advantage of coaching as a profession is that its study content is really broad because it covers topics from ontology to economics; in this case we bring you a renowned author, Karl Rogers, American psychologist who rebelled a humanism approach with Abraham Maslow, publishing his "Personality Theory". Within his main approach with this theory he tried to orient the attention to the client and not to the patient, recognizing that the client's own growth was better exploited through counseling, giving the possibility to exploit his potential to connect with his own subjective experiences. Rogers also raised concepts that we try to clarify through coaching in order to find a balance between self-esteem, the ideal self and self-image, becoming a key point to understand where they come from and what is the purpose of our feedback process with the environment.

Man in Search of Meaning

This is a very particular book written by the Austrian neurologist, psychiatrist and philosopher Victor Frankl, an excellent recommendation for anyone who is in search of their main goals in life. It belongs to the genre of personal narrative and addresses in its content the ability to transcend in the face of difficulties in precarious contexts. It is based on the author's real experiences as a victim of the Nazi concentration camps. It is an important reference for his time because it contributed greatly to promote the concept of human spirituality beyond the circumstances of his existence. Man's search for meaning makes for interesting reading as it highlights the ingenuity of human beings to survive by controlling their emotions and the utopian idea of inner freedom in a hostile environment. Mainly for a Coach it contains indispensable elements to understand how the real world works between weapons and shields to find the meaning of life.
