Today’s episode is my first Book Brief! I am looking forward to sharing a fabulous book with you today that I read—or technically listened to—last year. And since you’re listening to this podcast, I wonder…do you also prefer listening to books instead of reading them?
'The Way of Integrity' by Martha Beck was published in 2021, and instantly was a New York Times bestseller. It also became an Oprah book club pick. And Oprah describes it as “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.”
In 'The Way of Integrity', Martha presents a four-stage process that anyone can use to find integrity, which ultimately will lead to feeling more purposeful, experiencing emotional healing, and having more peace of mind. She believes our discomfort and suffering are often the results of us losing touch with what makes us feel whole.
What’s really unique about how Martha talks about these issues and her strategies for overcoming them, is that she uses Dante’s classic hero’s journey 'The Divine Comedy' as a framework.
Martha also incorporates her fantastic wit, plus references of psychology, neuroscience, and sociology throughout the book.
What You’ll Learn:
- How we can get on, and stay on, a path of feeling whole- How ‘The Divine Comedy’ written by Dante in the 1300s relates to your life
- Martha Beck’s four-stage process to a purpose-driven life
- How to read your internal signals so that you stay in integrity
- How to bring your external life into alignment with your inner truth
More and more people are finding their way to integrity and balance. It’s just that you have to start looking for them. Curate your social feeds so that you are seeing more of the people who demonstrate this way of living for you. Get the proof in front of you so that you can start believing it is possible.
And I highly recommend you read or listen to this book for more inspiration and support. There’s a link to all versions of the book below.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
