I first discovered today’s guest through her book, Finding Your Way In A Wild New World. Her teachings and writing opened my mind to new ways of moving through the world that were very different from the “nose to the grindstone” mentality I had at the time.
Writer, speaker, and life coach Martha Beck is the author of ten books, some of which, to her continued astonishment, are bestsellers. Readers can get a monthly hit of her unique blend of humor, science and spirituality in O, The Oprah Magazine. Martha recently published her first novel, Diana, Herself: An Allegory of Awakening, which Elizabeth Gilbert has called “a perfect book.”
