I'm interested in the life coaching thing. I might need some coaching.

Then again, if being a life coach consists of advising my clients to put a contract out on a woodpecker, maybe I should become a life coach myself.

If you have showtime check out the penn and teller bullsh*t episode where they discuss life coaching. Freaking hillarious.

[/ QUOTE ]i didn't like their argument that much. I mean, life coaching isn't some profound art, but it's just like having a good motivational secretary to stay on top of you and some people that really lack in this department can really benefit.

yeah that seems to be the biggest benefit. i'm highly motivated and already have plans for the next few years for money/better health/less stress/working towards work being optional, and for doing things that interest me, so the long-term benefits of life coaching aren't clear. however, first session she got me to fix two annoyances immediately. i figure life's annoying enough that next month she'll point out a couple more. after that who knows.

the general concept appears to be solution-oriented problem solving. identify it, fix it, next problem. i like that approach. no excuses. just suck it up and get it done. in my case, outsource vaporizing a woodpecker.
