Publisher's summary

Making and maintaining lasting changes in nutrition and fitness is not easy for anyone. Yet the communication style of a health professional can make a huge difference. This audiobook presents the proven counseling approach known as motivational interviewing (MI) and shows exactly how to use it in day-to-day interactions with clients. MI offers simple yet powerful tools for helping clients work through ambivalence, break free of diets and quick-fix solutions, and overcome barriers to change. Extensive sample dialogues illustrate specific ways to enhance conversations about meal planning and preparation, exercise, body image, disordered eating, and more. Reproducible forms and handouts can be downloaded and printed in a convenient 8 1/2" x 11" size. Instructors requesting a desk copy from Guilford will be emailed a link to supplemental PowerPoint slides and exam questions.

This audiobook is in the Applications of Motivational Interviewing series, edited by Stephen Rollnick, William R. Miller, and Theresa B. Moyers.

Motivational Interviewing in Nutrition and Fitness is wonderfully narrated by Kathleen Godwin. All figures and handouts referenced in the audiobook are included in the supplementary PDF, which is available for download with purchase of the audiobook.

Please note: when you purchase this title, the accompanying pdf will be available in your audible library along with the audio.

Very well written and detailed.

I love this book. It is informative and very well explained and detailed. Really goes into depth. Lots of examples. I’ve listened to this book twice already. And I’ll listen to it a third time I am sure. So much information. I’ve have learned a lot and I’ve put this into action with my clients and I can tell a huge difference for the positive.

A must read if you’re in the fitness & wellness field.

I can definitely imagine myself listening to this several times to absorb this style of coaching. It seems it’s become not just de rigeur for people in the field of fitness and health but it is just good info to know overall.

Great resource

A very good resource book. Hard copy needed for reference and for details unseen. Thanks.

Paradigm Shifting

I'm in a health coaching course that prepares graduates to sit for the National Board for Health and Wellness Coaches. The facilitator highly recommended this book. She has no affiliation with the authors.

This book, especially the audio version, is life-changing. Professionally and personally, I have improved relationships with clients and loved ones. In a nutshell, the compassionate communication skills of Motivational Interviewing applied to Nutrition and Fitness help anyone be a better human being. I don't think that's hyperbole. I feel like a better human being for being able to support fellow humans in their life's quests.

The narrator does an excellent job. The accompanying PDF is quite useful as a quick reminder of the book's concepts.

Read for a class on nutrition

This book is good for anyone who helps people by motivating them. Some sample conversations felt a bit unnatural to me but you can take out what feels natural for you and forget the rest. I think it will be useful in more than just nutrition and exercise counseling. it was nice to have the paperback book for reference in addition to the audio.

Great to learn MI

Very good for learning motivational interviewing. Lots of dialogue and examples. Not as technical as other popular MI books.
