Martha Beck's genius lies in her ability to blend comfort with challenge in her writing. A teacher, mother, and sage, she guides us back to our true selves.--Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author. In this insightful work, bestselling author and life coach Martha Beck emphasizes that integrity—being in harmony with ourselves—is essential for a meaningful and joyful life. She asserts that integrity is the cure for psychological suffering. Beck introduces a four-stage process to help anyone find integrity, leading to purpose, emotional healing, and a life free from mental anguish. Many of our struggles, such as people-pleasing and negative habits, stem from being disconnected from what truly fulfills us.

She teaches us to interpret our internal signals that guide us toward our true path and to discern our genuine desires from societal expectations. With proven techniques from her extensive experience, Beck helps readers uncover their own definitions of integrity, embarking on a spiritual journey that promises to transform lives and foster genuine happiness.
