All humans share a universal truth: we come into this world without a rulebook. While many have parents they know, not everyone has parents they can rely on for guidance through life’s challenges, support in solving problems, or help in crafting a meaningful vision for the future - one that's worth dedicating their lives to.
In recent decades, many "life coaching" books have been published, along with dozens of theoretical handbooks offering step-by-step processes to guide individuals from point A to point B in life. However, the issue with these "systematic solutions" is that all people are inherently unique. Each person has their own story, passions, and frustrations, and many resist being funnelled through standardised coaching methods that fail to account for their individuality.
The Ultimate Life Coaching Handbook, written by Kain Ramsay, seasoner teacher and founder of The Academy of Applied Psychology, redefines traditional academic approaches to coaching. It frames life coaching as an accessible, deeply human process that anyone can learn, apply to their own life, and ultimately master.
