“After my fourteenth appointment of the week as a Career and Life Coach, I felt completely drained and did something coaches should never do—I got short with my client! I immediately apologized, but he said he barely noticed my curtness. After the appointment, I started berating myself. Then I opened Feeling Good to a random page and landed on Chapter 6—Listen to Music! Singing and dancing to Pharrell’s song, “Happy” for five minutes got me back to helping clients and being present for them no matter what. Thank you Dr. DeLong for creating this handy tool to keep my spirits high and my purpose alive and well.” AMY AMES, CPCC, Career and Life Coach
