"This book opens up new avenues for business coaches and practitioners alike – it helps us to take practical steps in making the links between well-being and performance in the workplace. As an approach, its value lies in reminding us that ‘self-awareness’ tends to be our main barrier to unlocking our potential. With examples taken from real-life and incorporating practical lessons to help us develop our awareness, this book is likely to resonate well with those looking to unleash their own business potential as well as offer useful advice to those typically charged with helping others improve their performance. As an approach to self-development, it is also likely to receive a welcome reception on enlightened MBA programmes."— Dr Anjali Bakhru, BSc(Econ), MBA, PhD; Director of MBA Programmes, Middlesex University, UK
"This slim, attractive volume, designed for executive coaches, managers and leaders, draws on the work of Dr Moshe Feldenkrais... I am excited to see the strengthening connection between this work and coaching, of which this book is a part."— Carolyn Mumby, Coaching Today
