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
"Integrity is the cure for psychological suffering. Period."-Martha Beck
In The Way of Integrity, Beck shows us how having integrity-a word that simply means "wholeness"-gives us purpose, emotional healing, and a life free of mental suffering. She presents a clear-cut process anyone can use to overcome lifelong patterns like people pleasing, self-sabotage, destructive habits, and feeling "stuck."
Inspired by The Divine Comedy, Beck uses Dante's classic hero's journey as a framework; here, she teaches us how to recognize what we actually yearn for, rather than what our culture sells us.
With techniques tested on hundreds of her clients, Beck brings her expertise as a social scientist and life coach to help readers recognize integrity in all our thoughts and actions. She takes us on a spiritual adventure that will change the direction of our lives and bring us to a place of genuine happiness.
