In this book Manfred Kets de Vries empties out the overflowing minds of executive coaches, so that they can overcome their anxieties and doubts and see what was right there in front of them all along: the coaching relationship and all the dynamics at play there. I heartily recommend this book to all professional coaches who want to deepen and explore their own coaching relationships. To paraphrase T.S. Eliot, reading this magnificent text you will not cease from exploring your coaching relationships and at the end of all your exploring you will arrive where you started and know the place for the first time.'
