Wellness Coaching for Lasting Lifestyle Change - Second Edition

Wellness Coaching for Lasting Lifestyle Change* by Michael Arloski has been an amazing resource for me. This book gave me a strong foundation in coaching, full of practical tips and insights that I could apply right away. It not only helped me grow as a coach, but it was also a valuable study tool while I prepared for the National Board exam for health and wellness coaching. Dr. Arloski’s approach is clear, helpful, and full of real-world strategies. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to deepen their coaching skills and make a real impact.

This is one of my favorite coaching books. I have read this book several times in my coaching career and has helped me tremendously. This book is used in several coaching programs and I see why. Dr. Arloski does a fantastic job explaining the ins and outs of coaching.

I had the privilege to be trained as a health and wellness coach from Dr. Arloski through his company Real Balance Wellness a few years ago. Since then I have gone through their Advanced and Mentor coach trainings. I feel extremely fortunate that I was trained in their methodology. I am currently utilizing my coaching skills as I start up a health coaching program in a teaching hospital's primary care setting. I used Dr. Arloski's original book as my coaching Bible. As I read through his second edition I am just as impressed. He makes wellness attainable to all of us by his deep understanding of behavioral health. The references to other founders in the wellness field and mentions of helpful resources truly makes this book an invaluable resource. He has done all the hard work for us coaches and passed it on to us in this book. Every time I read a new chapter and apply it in the coaching session, myself and the client benefit. This book is a go to guide for all coaches and for anyone who wants to make sustainable lifestyle changes.

Dr Arloski does a great job in covering the foundations of coaching and beyond. The book provides lots of useful information for day to day practice. I really like the topic of journaling which I now use personally and with my clients.

Good introductory to what wellness coaching is and is not. Good leads to more positive psychology and over all a better well being. Taking a look at lifestyle patterns and challenges that are relevant to everyone and also some specific health concerns.

This was a textbook for my functional medicine health coaching program. It is EXCELLENT. So much wisdom inside. I’ve highlighted and made notes all over it.

Enjoyed reading this book. A lot of practical information especially if you are a beginner from coaching technics to coaching agreement. Highly recommend.

This book was recommended to study for the NBC-HWC exam. I found it very relevant for the topics of study on the exam and for coaching in general. Really impressed.

Bought this book for a course I'm taking - found it highly insightful and on point with my studies.

Wellness Coaching for Lasting Lifestyle Change remains a foundational text in health and wellness coaching. As CEO of UK & International Health coaching Association and as a Registered Health Coach, I value how this book clearly bridges coaching skills with behaviour-change science, offering practical tools that support client-centred, sustainable lifestyle change. The Wellness Mapping 360° approach continues to provide a robust framework for both emerging and experienced coaches. Highly recommended for anyone entering snd committed to professional, evidence-based health coaching.

I like the no-nonsense approach to important concepts and theories underlying wellness coaching, and the inspiring tone of voice of Dr Arloski. Whilst most of the content will sound familiar to the person who knows about coaching, and life coaching, the spirit that brings the different things together is really inspiring.

Great!
