Meet the Author - Robert Biswas-Diener

Positive Provocations offers a unique approach to the method of reflective practice using three distinct techniques—provocation, experimentation, and implementation—to accelerate coach development. This book challenges readers to question the foundational architecture of coaching, promoting seismic improvements.

Biswas-Diener asks a series of 25 provocative questions—are ethics boring? What’s so great about interrupting? What if we used less empathy?—aimed at engaging coaches in reflections about their own practice. Each chapter will introduce coaches to a fresh set of concepts, the research behind them, and practical ways to apply them in real-world scenarios.

It is the responsibility of all experienced coaches to continuously improve the quality of their skills and services. Positive Provocations introduces a method for great coaches to become masterful coaches.

Dr. Robert Biswas-Diener is widely known as the “Indiana Jones of Positive Psychology” because his research has taken him to such far-flung places as Greenland, India, Kenya, and Israel.

He is a leading authority on strengths, culture, courage, and happiness and known for his pioneering work in the application of positive psychology to coaching. Robert has authored more than 60 peer-reviewed academic articles and chapters, two of which are “citation classics” (cited more than 1,000 times each). Dr. Biswas-Diener has authored seven books, including The Courage Quotient, the 2007 PROSE Award winner, Happiness, and the New York Times Best Seller, The Upside of Your Dark Side.
