Publisher's Summary

OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“A roadmap on the journey to truth and authenticity… [The Way of Integrity] is filled with aha moments and practical exercises that can guide us as we seek enlightenment.”–Oprah Winfrey

Bestselling author, life coach, and sociologist Martha Beck explains why “integrity”—needed now more than ever in these tumultuous times—is the key to a meaningful and joyful life

AN OPEN FIELD PUBLICATION FROM MARIA SHRIVER

As Martha Beck says in her book, “Integrity is the cure for psychological suffering. Period.”

In The Way of Integrity, Beck presents a four-stage process that anyone can use to find integrity, and with it, a sense of purpose, emotional healing, and a life free of mental suffering. Much of what plagues us—people pleasing, staying in stale relationships, negative habits—all point to what happens when we are out of touch with what truly makes us feel whole.

Inspired by The Divine Comedy, Beck uses Dante’s classic hero’s journey as a framework to break down the process of attaining personal integrity into small, manageable steps. She shows how to read our internal signals that lead us towards our true path, and to recognize what we actually yearn for versus what our culture sells us.

With techniques tested on hundreds of her clients, Beck brings her expertise as a social scientist, life coach and human being to help readers to uncover what integrity looks like in their own lives. She takes us on a spiritual adventure that not only will change the direction of our lives, but also bring us to a place of genuine happiness.

What the critics say

“Martha Beck is always full of insights. This book didn't disappoint! Beck identifies the ways culture works against integrity and touches on Dante's Inferno, includes quizzes, and rethinks suffering.” (Good Morning America)

The Way of Integrity is about the redemptive power of discovering, speaking and living the truth about who you are.... The book vibrates with magic, intelligence, and love. It brims with humor, spirituality, fascinating science, and even Dante’s Divine Comedy. This radiant book will not only change your life, but perhaps even save it.” (Elizabeth Gilbert, number one New York Times best-selling author of Eat, Pray, Love)

"Martha Beck’s genius is that her writing is equal parts comforting and challenging. A teacher, a mother, a sage, she holds our hand as she leads us back home to ourselves.” (Glennon Doyle, number one New York Times best-selling author of Untamed)

A very important book ….

Martha translates Dante’s work into accessible concepts making the work both understandable and user friendly. I suspect if Dante and Martha lived in the same era, they would be best of friends , confidants , and peers . They are cut out of the same cloth, an indescribable beautiful cloth .
Ends up , we all are:)
No matter where you are currently located in your Awakening journey , this book will give you the orientation to know where you are and, the practical tools to move forward .
Thank you Dante , thank you Martha ,

Gets better with each chapter

At first, I found the story hard to follow and wasn’t really recognizing myself in it. I finally was able to really connect with the author around the last half of the book. I also love Byron Katie and the Work, and the mentions of the author resonated with me deeply. I will definitely give another listen to this book as I now understand the whole concept.
