OK, now I know to read reviews! A better title for this book would have been, Life Coaching Educational Options. This book appears to have been "cut & pasted" from the Internet. I bought it as a less expensive option than coaching school, not to read a list of schools!
The "book" is a great list of schools that have easy-to-find websites. The list compiler probably spent a full day or two on www.google.com to find, block, cut and paste this "book."
The title is very deceptive!
On the flip side though, $12.95 + S&H is not a bad price for a reminder that the world is filled with unscrupulous folks! From this perspective the book was well worth every penny!
Perhaps the author could subsequent compile a list of porn sites, call it a book and title it "How to Have a Loving Relationship."

I was robbed. It is nothing more than a compilation of titles. I was looking for the practical side of coaching. I do not feel I need more training. I feel that the author merely took lists from the Web and stuck it in book form. The book is in the trash. I hold a master,s in education. I have lifelong experience!I was just looking for the nuts and bolts of where to meet and what fees to charge, stuff of that nature. I think I will write the real book of how to become a life coach with practical advice.

There's no value added here. The author simply compiled a bunch of web pages for various coaching programs. This is easily done using google. It's worth something if you don't know anything about web searching, don't have acess to the internet, or are going away for a week and want to leave your computer behind. However, in all cases she refers the reader to the webpage for further information. The most disappointing thing of all is that she added nothing. The title is misleading because the book offers nothing about how to train at home or the process of training at home or even how long it might take. She did no research.

This book is nothing more than an expensive pamplet. 90% of the book is information readily available via web sites. It would be more helpful had she included surveys or ratings of the coach training programs. Maybe even evaluations. She simply regurgitates what is available at the web sites. I expected more written text (each of the 90 pages has about 1/2 page of text). I expected examples, suggestions about how to go about training to be a coach while keeping your day job. Basically, the book is a orange pages for coaching programs with maybe 5 - 1 page overviews of real live coaches. very disappointing....

If you're new to life coaching, this book is an excellent starting place. I think it is probably a good resource for practicing coaches too! Michelle McGarry has outlined the main distance learning coach training programs in an easy-to-browse-and-compare format. It's definetely not a how-to life coaching book, but a resource for coaches.
