Thank you for taking the time to read this book. This book, Christian Life Coaching - The Intersection of Fath, Psychology and Life Coaching and Overcoming ADHD and OCD, has been a labor of love for me. It represents my metaphorical personal journey of overcoming my mental disabilities by integrating Christianity, psychology and life coaching as holistic resources. It was an exploration of intellectual curiosity, spiritual faith and desire to unify these three areas of knowledge for practical use for Christians. For much too long these three areas of “expertise” developed separately and it took recent academia to explore these themes as an interdisciplinary approach. This book is for Christians and “non-Christians” to use as a guide, explanation and practical tool to overcome ADHD and OCD specifically, and generally to achieve personal transformation and growth as humans living our time in this world as material beings. Hopefully, the discussion will be persuasive for both Christians and the secular world of cognitive behavioral psychology. I am not an expert in Christian theology nor in pastoral counseling, nor a clinical psychologist, nor a professional psychiatrist. What I know is what happened to me on my personal journey to overcome ADHD and OCD. I was seeking intellectual justification for what worked for me. I hope this will be useful for the reader of my book. However, this theory or life coaching practice has not been tested scientifically nor in any quantifiable experiments. We leave this task for further research. I am a practicing lawyer with over 25 years of experience in private law practice in Canada and as in-house legal counsel for Hong Kong companies. I am a Christian and have been since 2011. My interest slowly moved in the direction of life coaching as an outlet for my frustrations as a lawyer. We tend to give legal and business advice in a rational manner. However, I saw that myself, clients and corporate stakeholders that I dealt with needed something special and not necessarily legal solutions for their business and personal problems. This solution is related to their holistic personalities which became clearly visible under stress and personal conflict. I knew that lawyers by training were not equipped, nor should they be with life coaching tools from a Christin perspective. Thus, I thought the answer would be to categorize it as a new discipline or profession called Christian Life Coaching. In my exploration and pursuit of writing this book, I can across the idea of using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to research and seek answers to our questions on Christian life coaching and how AI can be used as a tool to assist clients. I started to use the POE app (readily available in app stores) to assist in the writing of this book. Much of the content is taken from my KitluilifeBot on POE. I created this Bot from the perspective of a Christian life coach reflecting some of the principles described in this book. Please feel free to explore on your own. In fact, the attached Appendices are a product of such questions directed to KitLuiLifeBot and is useful for common questions to ask a Christian life coach. I hope this book will transform your life, make you a stronger Christian, and help you to deal with bad habits learned in your past. This is a lot to expect so be patient and I hope the journey is worth the effort. I know this book has helped me, my colleagues, Christian brothers, secular friends and clients. As a Christian life coach, I have observed that the intersection of faith, psychology, and life coaching holds immense potential for transformation and healing. Through the combination of these three elements, individuals can experience holistic growth and align their lives with God's purpose. Firstly, it is crucial to acknowledge that Christian life coaching is not limited to a denominational categorization but encompasses all those who profess their faith in God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. This inclusive approach allows for a diverse range of individuals to benefit from the guidance and support offered by a Christian life coach. One of the key aspects emphasized in Christian life coaching is the centrality of God. By making God the focus of coaching, individuals are guided towards aligning their lives with His will and experiencing His transformative power. This approach acknowledges that human goals, dreams, aspirations, and gifts often come from God and can be aligned with His purpose. Moreover, Christian life coaching recognizes the importance of integrating psychological insights with biblical teachings. This integration allows individuals to gain a deeper understanding of themselves, navigate their emotions, and develop effective coping mechanisms. By critically evaluating and integrating psychological approaches with biblical principles, individuals can find healing and transformation. Creating a safe and non-judgmental space is also essential in Christian life coaching. By actively listening, empathizing, and offering support based on both psychological insights and biblical principles, life coaches can facilitate individuals' inner exploration and healing journey. Encouraging clients to rely on the power of prayer, seek solace in scripture, and incorporate spiritual practices further enhances their healing process. As Christian life coaches, we strive to model authenticity and transparency in our own faith journey. Sharing our personal experiences of relying on God's guidance and seeking His healing can inspire and encourage clients to deepen their own faith and trust in God. In conclusion, Christian life coaching, at the intersection of faith, psychology, and life coaching, offers a transformative and holistic approach to personal growth. By integrating psychological insights with biblical principles, relying on prayer and scripture, and creating a safe space for individuals to explore their inner struggles, Christian life coaches guide clients towards true healing and transformation. This unique combination enables individuals to align their lives with God's purpose and experience the abundant life He desires for them. Also, I would like to briefly describe what this book does not do for the general reader. Mostly, this is the author's personal narrative and journey of overcoming mental disabilities through the integration of Christianity, psychology, and life coaching. Hopefully, my experiences and insights will help others on their own transformational paths. The purpose of this book is not to provide scientific evidence and research to support the theories and practices discussed in the book. We will leave this task to others who are more capable than me in this area of expertise. 13

Author, activist, and TED speaker Ashton Applewhite has written a rousing manifesto calling for an end to discrimination and prejudice on the basis of age. In our youth obsessed culture, we’re bombarded by media images and messages about the despairs and declines of our later years. Beauty and pharmaceutical companies work overtime to convince people to purchase products that will retain their youthful appearance and vitality. Wrinkles are embarrassing. Gray hair should be colored and bald heads covered with implants. Older minds and bodies are too frail to keep up with the pace of the modern working world and olders should just step aside for the new generation. Ashton Applewhite once held these beliefs too until she realized where this prejudice comes from and the damage it does. Lively, funny, and deeply researched, This Chair Rocks traces her journey from apprehensive boomer to pro-aging radical, and in the process debunks myth after myth about late life. Explaining the roots of ageism in history and how it divides and debases, Applewhite examines how ageist stereotypes cripple the way our brains and bodies function, looks at ageism in the workplace and the bedroom, exposes the cost of the all-American myth of independence, critiques the portrayal of elders as burdens to society, describes what an all-age-friendly world would look like, and offers a rousing call to action. It’s time to create a world of age equality by making discrimination on the basis of age as unacceptable as any other kind of bias. Whether you’re older or hoping to get there, this book will shake you by the shoulders, cheer you up, make you mad, and change the way you see the rest of your life. Age pride! “Wow. This book totally rocks. It arrived on a day when I was in deep confusion and sadness about my age. Everything about it, from my invisibility to my neck. Within four or five wise, passionate pages, I had found insight, illumination, and inspiration. I never use the word empower, but this book has empowered me.” —Anne Lamott, New York Times bestselling author
