Praise for The Power of Daily Practice
The Power of Daily Practice has radically changed my practice and my thinking, evoking a richer and more expansive understanding of the possibilities and the power of daily practice. Coaches, therapists, and lifestyle medicine professionals will find The Power of Daily Practice a wonderful resource. I plan to use it as a primary text in all the wellness classes I teach!
