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 lifeAs 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 without 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.
