About
Hi, I’m Ot. Welcome to my bookshelf.
I’m a coach and hypnotherapist based in Canberra, Australia, and I work with people online. I also began my career as a business analyst, and these days I build AI systems.
Whatever I’m working on, I learn through books, and I keep detailed notes on every one I read. The Coaching Bookshelf is where those notes turn into reviews for other coaches, and for anyone curious about coaching, habits, identity and change.
Reviews here are my own opinions in my own words. If a book isn’t for you, I’ll say so.

What to expect
How the reviews work
I read what I review
No book gets a review unless I have read it and taken notes on it.
Balanced verdicts
Every review lists strengths and weaknesses, and names who should skip the book.
Transparent about money
Book links are Amazon affiliate links. If you buy through them I earn a small commission, at no extra cost to you. It never changes my rating.
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. See the affiliate disclosure.
