Coaching with the Brain in Mind
by David Rock & Linda J Page
This one is the ultimate detailed explanation of how our current understanding of Neuroscience explains how and why coaching works. David Rock wrote this with a PHd type and although the evidence is convincing it is also voluminous to say the least. I love this topic and it was also a great sleep aid!
