Official synopsis Publisher
Existential philosophies are concerned with reflecting on life and the human condition, helping us to think critically and creatively about the challenges of our lives and how best to meet them. This agenda-setting text illustrates how these ideas can be brought to bear on the practice of coaching.

Bringing together contributions from leading figures in the existential coaching field, the chapters are divided into three parts:
• Part I outlines the essential values which underpin the existential approach and provides a clear framework for coaching existentially.
• Part II explores the wide variety of settings in which existentially informed coaching can be used, from leadership and career development to life coaching.
