 Would you like to lose a few stubborn pounds? Have you tried to eat less and work out more? Everyone knows how to lose weight. But we still don't do what we know. Why not? Well, according to our guest today, Martha Beck, it's because we don't understand the brain-body dynamics of weight loss. Today Martha teaches us that we have to get lean from the brain outward. And in her book “The Four-Day Win” she tells us how to reverse the brain-body programming that makes us fat, so we can create a new, leaner, and healthier body…for good. Psychology Today, USA Today, and NPR have all referred to Martha Beck as “one of the best-known life coaches in America.” She is a monthly columnist for “O,” the Oprah Magazine, has been a contributing editor for Real Simple, Redbook, and Mademoiselle, and has written for many other national magazines.

“This radiant book will not only change your life,but perhaps even save it.”ELIZABETH GILBERT, #1 New York Times bestselling authorBestselling author, life coach, and sociologist Martha Beck explains why “integrity”—being in harmony with ourselves—is the key to a meaningful and joyful life.As Martha Beck says in her book, “Integrity is the cure for psychological suffering. Period.”In The Way of Integrity, Martha 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, worry and anxiety, negative habits—all point to what happens when we are out of touch with what truly makes us feel whole.Martha takes us on a spiritual adventure that will change the direction of our lives, and bring us to a place of genuine happiness.Dr. Martha Beck is a bestselling author, life coach, and speaker.

Martha Beck, New York Times bestselling author of Leaving the Saints, Expecting Adam, and Finding Your Own North Star writes in her new book: “Integrity is the cure for psychological suffering. Period.” Her new book is a step-by-step guide anyone can use to find a sense of purpose, emotional healing, and a life free of mental suffering. Beck shares how to achieve harmony within ourselves and explains why integrity is the key to a meaningful and joyful life. The New York Times bestselling author of Leaving the Saints, Expecting Adam, and Finding Your Own North Star Martha Beck returns with a new book on achieving harmony within ourselves, THE WAY OF INTEGRITY: Finding the Path to Your True Self (The Open Field/Penguin Life; On Sale: April 13, 2021; Hardcover; $26). A book uniquely suited for our troubled times, THE WAY OF INTEGRITY explains why integrity is the key to a meaningful and joyful life. As Beck says in the book, “Integrity is the cure for psychological suffering. Period.” THE WAY OF INTEGRITY is a step-by-step guide anyone can use to find a sense of purpose, emotional healing, and a life free of mental suffering. THE WAY OF INTEGRITY explains that our culture teaches us specific rules for navigating society successfully, and in following these rules, we begin to split ourselves from our essential beings, our deepest truths. That's what it looks like to lose our integrity, and to regain it is to recover that deep truth and become whole again­—even if it risks alienation from others. To help us find our way back to full integrity, Beck uses an unlikely guidebook: Dante's The Divine Comedy (which she calls “the first great self-help book”). Using Dante's classic hero's journey as a framework, Beck breaks down the process of attaining personal integrity into small, manageable steps, and demonstrates how to read our internal signals to lead us towards our true path.

Martha Beck is an American sociologist, life coach, best-selling author, and speaker who specializes in helping individuals and groups achieve personal and professional goals.  Her books include Expecting Adam, Leaving the Saints, Finding Your own North Star, The Joy Diet, and her newest book, Diana, Herself: An Allegory of Awakening.  She has also been a columnist for O, The Oprah Magazine since its inception in 2001. Her newest project is a revolutionary writing workshop called Write into Light. Full shownotes: http://yourcreativepush.com/marthabeck In this episode, Martha discusses: -The birth of her son and her decision to pursue joy no matter what the circumstances and no matter what anyone else thought. -The comparison between a destructive tsunami destroying long-standing buildings and structures and a surfer taking the ride of his life. -The frightening, but profound decision that people can make to take risks by following their joy. -The “Man Cage” and how men are heavily socially pressured to do what worked before. -The importance of finding balance through joy. -How difficult it can be to let go of the “factory mindset” of society and to trust that magic will guide you. -Making sure to rest your body, otherwise you will lose touch with it. -Why she started Write into Light. -The responsibility that artists have to change culture when the culture they are living in is unsatisfactory. -The idea of using writing to heal yourself, and then to spread that healing power to the rest of the world. -Her newest book, -How she spent all of her money on a ranch in California and became immersed in nature. -To prepare yourself for criticism from the people around you when you go against culture, and to try to surround yourself with supportive people who understand where you are coming from and what you are trying to tap into. Martha's Final Push will inspire you to ask yourself (without judgment) what you were meant to do with your life and then find a way to do that thing.   Quotes: “It unfolded because I was on this hell-bent path of pursuing joy.” “There is a magic in the world, and I found that when my son was born.” “If you can align yourself with what wants to happen, things will be done through you that you cannot do yourself.” “It’s freaking scary.  What we are basing our cultural models on is a factory that never stops working.  To let that go and say that I’m going to trust that magic will do things through me if I just relax…. Phew, that is not for the faint of heart.” “Culture doesn’t actually come from laws.  Laws may reflect culture but they rarely create culture.  What creates healing in cultures is new idioms, new language, new ways to talk about what’s happening to us, new perceptions, new insights, and new ideas.  And those come from creativity.” “It’s not easy because we have to go beyond culture because our culture is screwing us up big time.  It’s not a recipe for happiness.” “Ask yourself two questions: How do I want to be different because I lived on this Earth, and how do I want the Earth to be different because I’ve lived on it?” “Your people are here.  We may be in virtual space but we are all around you and we all feel it.  There is something moving and changing in the world and you are meant to be part of it.  So jump.” Links mentioned: Write into Light Diana, Herself: An Allegory of Awakening (Bewilderment Chronicles) by Martha Beck Martha’s Ted Talk: "The Four Technologies of Magic" The Leap Retreat Connect with Martha: Website / Facebook / Vimeo / Twitter / Books On the next episode: David Luong : Website / Instagram / Vimeo Join our community on our Facebook group!

Oprah says of our guest Martha Beck: "She's one of the smartest women I know." In podcast #93 Martha Beck encourages host Ellie Knaus to get honest in every aspect of her life with an INTEGRITY CLEANSE. Of course, Ellie freaks out that everyone will abandon her. Could YOU do it? Wouldn't it be liberating to stop "dancing on eggshells"? We also discuss: the truth about pain, how to handle self-criticism, challenging the voices in our head, what our bodies are really trying to tell us, and how to be compassionate towards ourselves when we're mad at ourselves for how we're being so hard on ourselves (a double whammy and Ellie's longtime favorite conundrum until Martha solves it for us here. Huzzah!) Martha's bestselling books include: Expecting Adam, Finding Your Own North Star, Steering By Starlight, and Finding Your Way in a Wild New World, and we discuss her new work of fiction: Diana, Herself: An Allegory in Awakening. Martha Beck has three degrees from Harvard. And every month we flip to Martha's column in O Magazine first.
