“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.

Needs a PDF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOVE THIS BOOK. I listen to it while driving so I cant do the exercises. I really wish it had a PDF so I could come home and do them. Otherwise its to hard to jump around and find them. I sent an email on Ms Becks website as a suggestion but got no response.

Finished it in 5 days!

I love this book, listening again to do the exercises, but overall loved it. Loved the honesty, and encouraged me to put a truth filter, never been a liar. but every now and then white lies do come out, because of fear. Gotta work on my integrity instead of molding to others lives.

Read it twice

This book was very helpful. It offered an unique perspective of looking at the world and how it reacts to your actions. The writing exercises were very helpful and can be done multiple times with different issues or ideas..

Excellent book to find or stay on the path to integrity

I really love the insights that were shared, and the stories that outlined the challenges of living a life with integrity.

Powerful self reflection

Beck writes a compelling book of self reflection and enlightenment. Her ideas challenged my thoughts about myself, the world and suffering. Very glad I listened to this book
