So this brings us to the last and final section of the course and good Course will ever be complete
without this very good list of recommended reads saw us as this is quite a comprehensive course.
I am fully aware that I've already shared and recommend a few books with you throughout the course so
far.
So I can't remember what they are.
I've got a good idea but here I've got a list of nine books I'm going to strongly urge you to have a
read through at some point in the future to really help you don't understand exactly what it is I understand
and if you do read these books you'll understand where it is that I'm coming from.
Because moving forward as a life coach is it's not it's not a good thing to imitate other people.
It's it's important that we become completely authentic and that we develop our own styles and as we
develop grow and styles we're only doing so through all the information that we expose ourselves to.
Remember the last section looked at these seven steps.
Take stock of work and know where we're at.
And query want to get to the steps that we need to take to get from here to there.
We're going to be using all of the tools that are presented to you through the goal setting section
to help fill in these voids.
It's sometimes one of the greatest goals we can set of S is just to develop a new skill or to grow in
insight understanding information because sometimes it's just the biggest gap that we can half in our
life is just an information gap.
So without further adieu the first book that I would like to recommend is a book called The Road Less
Travelled by a guy called M Scott Peck the new psychology of love traditional values and spiritual growth.
Well it's called the new psychology.
It's actually not because I think the books are only about 50 years old.
Scott Peg does a fantastic job off of highlighting the very nature of problems which is kind of selfishness.
The Road Less Travelled he defines as being this ultimate journey of self exploration self discovery
which is kind of what I've done my best to take you on throughout this course anyway.
Life isn't about techniques and getting it right again wrong.
Life is about living in the most effective way they were possibly able to aspire inauthentic.
It's about becoming free from the past so that we are free to enjoy the future that make sense.
That of course will help you understand kind of all mean by that and just to Eldon that we have identified
through the course especially in the core values section.
Freedom is a main governing core value that drives many people in life.
So this book isn't necessarily Life Coaching specific but it is one that will help.
It can help to liberate many people in the context of their own thinking their own theirs.
There's an idea that I'm not sure of I've mentioned this in the course of not of a slave mindset a slave
mentality and this is where people become limited to the beliefs that they have about how life should
be.
For example how many disgruntled employees do you know how many people do you know who who exist in
dead end jobs that they hate and then just live for the weekend and complain about their crap jobs.
Many people right.
But most people don't understand they actually have a choice.
So the book I'd like to recommend is a book called Rich Dad Poor Dad.
It's what the rich teach their kids.
You can learn to though.
When I first read this book.
Quite fascinating because I was in the midst of employment way back then.
I think I read that for the first time around about 15 years ago.
And the idea back then for me was really quite radical.
It was about leveraging off the knowledge the expertise and the efforts of other people to partner with
people to create new things in things that didn't previously exist.
It took me round about 10 to 12 years to figure out what all that meant.
But the idea that had really been planted inside of my mind was about creating an environment where
I was no longer working for money.
Money was working for me.
That's kind of what I've done at this stage of my life.
The money that I've made in the past an event I've invested into creating online courses like this which
means money when asleep which means that I'm free in my time.
So what we're talking about this book here wise rather than for the course is because if someone is
Brooke it doesn't matter what beliefs they have about money they may say or money is the root to all
evil.
Well that's not necessarily true because everyone needs money to pay bills and get by in life.
Money is a limit it's a limitation for you in life you're always going to be limited to how generous
you could ultimately want to be.
If you're investing most of your time into working for an employer and you can't be investing that time
into the life of other people.
So balance is a good thing.
I strongly recommend that book.
The third book I'm going to recommend is possibly one of my favourite books of all time.
It's it's a thought provoking it's a heart wrenching challenging read.
And this is kind of where I and initially drew my thinking for the core identity coaching concept.
Right.
And it's a book by Viktor Frankl called Man's Search for Meaning.
No.
This book is kind of broken down into two different sections.
The first section Viktor Frankl very very openly and honestly discloses of his experience in the Second
World War and Nazi camps.
I think he was an ostrich.
I think he was.
And he talks about how his family were brutally murdered killed raped his friends and he was he was
a survivor.
No he was a survivor who went on to practice psychology who went on to develop his own his own kind
of psychology framework models if you like.
Based upon experience he talked about experiential coaching.
No I think the coach and we he ended developing was what he referred to as Lubow therapy which is kind
of what I would refer to as being core identity coach and we're operating out of the core of who we
are rather than responding to the world and living from that side and we're responding to life in our
circumstances.
We're responding acting and behaving in accordance with who is who we actually are.
Were living completely congruent lives which as we've already established in an earlier section is the
ultimate expression of personal success where we're just being true to who it is that we actually are
in complete authenticity.
So I did mention this book earlier on in the choruses by Dr Steve peters's called the chimp paradox
mind management model.
No I am going to recommend this book so I will put money into it on some level.
But for me personally only often so section or Chapter 5 fright.
I enjoyed the first five chapters really made sense to me.
I remember the model that was shared with the earlier on about the emotional mind and the reasonable
mind.
All this book kind of does.
I'm an expert.
Excellent job of explaining the two different mindsets how some people live most of their lives inside
of the emotional part of their mind where other people have most of their lifes inside of the reasonable
part of their mind.
Wise people however are able to find the balance and operate in the wise mind where they can dip in
and out of both but not in a way in which they are controlled by these parts of the mind.
But in a way where they are actually and can complete control off their minds processes their thoughts
their emotions and all these sorts of things.
This book does a great job of pointing towards the ultimate expression of self control Alright which
is in my eyes a real state of personal maturity.
There we are no.
For the fifth book that I would like to recommend I think of also recommend it has become this bringing
them all together here and that culmination of books is the structure of Scientific Revolutions.
No this isn't going to be a book that takes everyone's boxes it is in fact quite a complex read alright
but it's but it's a great resource for understanding the very nature of beliefs and how it is that our
beliefs evolve.
Because look at their Snus is presented through how science has evolved.
Bear in mind I mentioned earlier on that's the foundations of science aren't just the frameworks they
are in.
Greek philosophical forefathers left for us and believed for us.
They claimed and expressed the truth.
Knowledge is built and based upon knowledge.
So today as I'm building this course all this is in my information.
I'm just making all this stuff up from scratch.
We're talking years and years of study has gone into me reaching that stage of my life where I understand
all the stuff in a way where I'm able to present it to you without using a teleprompter or a script
or.
Power points are really talking and communicating in a rigid way.
The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is pins a picture of how it is that our understanding of evolve
and has evolved as a race over the last few centuries in our thinking and our beliefs evolve in exactly
the same way.
So it is a fascinating read though for those who do.
Like that kind of information.
Another book that I'm going to recommend that again might not be for everyone but it's one that I found
hugely interesting it's called The Age of genius.
No this is a relatively new book The 17th century and the birth of the modern mind by an author called
AC Grayling.
Now this book looks at how our cultural and societal beliefs have developed over the last few centuries.
Just take for example go back to the 16th century.
It was culturally presumed and accepted that the world was flat until someone piped up and said no the
world isn't flat it is in fact round or do you have any idea how much that guy was flaunted in the marketplace.
He was.
His ideas were rejected he was beaten he was swept.
I think he was even jailed for for a while for being called heresy.
What I'm seeing here is that many people in life believe what they believe is true.
So if we understand the structure of scientific scientific revolutions we understand that knowledge
and this is itself upon knowledge were the only way that we grow as human beings or as a coach or as
a society is when we grow.
They're limiting beliefs that we were previously operating in.
So those two books will give you a lot more information about that kind of stuff if you're that way
inclined.
And the last two books that I want to recommend are called No this isn't so much life coaching this
more do with communication skills right.
There's a lot more theory based.
It is called counselling skills and theory.
A lady called Margaret Hoff.
No this is a very basic book.
Alright so if you are more advanced or you've been operating in this field for quite some time this
book may not be so relative for you because you've most likely Herard at all but if you are just starting
out and you would like to get a bit of a more theoretically based understanding background if you like
bekele really serve your prosess.
Also going to provide you with lots of different frameworks and explanations of the different communication
skills styles that can be used to facilitate bringing out the best in other people.
A few really cool exercises models are frameworks too.
This one here is can a hesitance on building into the course but it's life coaching for Dummies alright.
Live coaching for dummies.
This book here does give reference to all the absolute basic modules and exercises that most life coaches
use or own them.
I know I have a bit of a thing for Wheel of life but it's only because I created my life balance question
here which is definitely better.
But if you do want to just begin practicing the more basic exercises on friends family members this
books are absolutely full of them.
It's really simple.
It's broken down explained in layman's terms which can.
It's not the most interesting of reads it's not the most insightful but it's very basic and will get
you off to a start.
If you've never been exposed to life coaching or anything like this before.
So that's the books I'm sharing with yet that's all I've got.
This pretty much brings you to the end of the course.
But in their next video the last and final video I'm going to share and just do a bit of a round up
a complete overview of everything that we've discussed and see if that can in some ways summarize everything
that we've shared through this course enter into one or two principles that you can really take away
and begin actioning immediately so that's recommend that reads.
Our tanesha links to all of these books and possibly a few more in the additional material section.
Other than that I look forward to seeing you again in the last the final and the closing really.
