The Inner Fire: a coaching alchemy

The Inner Fire: a coaching alchemy – the book is coming

We are days away from the launch of the new book.

Anyone who has attempted to write a book will know that it takes longer in every stage of the process than you expect. From the sense of a concept, something of compelling interest to write about, through the stages of creating the chapters, to the editing stage and then to the finalising of the way the book will look – at each step there are challenges and shifts in thinking. 

I have written here before about the next book called “The Inner Fire: a coaching alchemy”. Since I last blogged about this, the book has gone through a rigorous process with some wonderful advanced readers who gave me a couple of hundred suggestions, which took a while to wade through and use to enhance the book. This process had such a positive effect on the final version of the book. As I write this, I am just choosing seven images to include which evoke the alchemy of the title. Within a couple of weeks I should have the final author copy of the book before it goes to print. This is that final step where I will see one last thing that I missed (there is always at least one little thing!) 

You want to know a bit more about the book? Here you go…this is the blurb on the back cover.

What could the ancient concept and practices of Alchemy possibly have that would be useful for coaching? In this book, Stuart Eglin brings 20 years of his own research in the field of analytical and archetypal psychology to create startlingly original approaches to coaching. Inside you will find the origins of the use of alchemy in personal transformation and a set of incredibly practical tools to work with this radical approach. 

Whether you are a coach looking for techniques for your own practice or someone looking for ideas to self-coach, to do the work on yourself that will lead to the inner transformation that brings the authentic you to the surface, inside you will find all that you need to work with the techniques developed by Stuart.

If you are searching for an inspirational read, this is the book for you. Stuart brings himself as the Poet, the Master Coach and the Explorer of new ideas to the text so that the reader can experience the ideas within through multiple ideas, voices and creative techniques. This book will help you on the path to realising your true potential. Enjoy the journey.
