This book offers an existential understanding of the process of stuckness, exploring how we can soften stuckness and become more fluid in our work and world.

We can’t avoid getting stuck, it’s a vital part of learning and healing, but we can develop the skills to get stuck less painfully and recover quicker. When we do this, stuckness can enable us to process our pasts and incubate our futures. Illustrated by relatable, global case studies, this book will help readers and coaches understand and work with stuckness in their own and their clients’ lives.

Based on the author’s doctoral research and extensive experience as a coach and coach trainer globally, this book is valuable to coaches, therapists, and human development practitioners.
