About Martha

author. speaker. wayfinder.

Martha Beck, PhD, is a Harvard-trained sociologist, world-renowned coach and New York Times bestselling author. She has published nine non-fiction books, one novel, and more than 200 magazine articles.

I’m shocked every time someone introduces me as a “best-selling author,” because I’ve never written to sell myself, only to save myself. Writing is my favorite tool for addressing and dissolving my own suffering. At some point I discovered that it could help others, too. Since then I’ve been humbled by the responses I receive to my books and articles. My most recent stint as a monthly contributor for O, The Oprah Magazine, has lasted 17 years.

FREE MASTERCLASS

You have a unique life purpose, one that’s meant to serve the world and fill your days with meaning.

You were born to recognize that purpose . . . but chances are you don’t. Early in life, most of us learn to ignore our purpose and do random things that other people value. It’s time to unlearn that pattern.

I’m offering an exciting, free masterclass that will help you notice and name the paths to purpose that are always at your feet, though you may not be able to see them. Register today to receive the FREE recording of the masterclass, 5 Paths to Your Purpose.

Move Beyond Anxiety

Martha’s latest book, Beyond Anxiety: Curiosity, Creativity, and Finding Your Life’s Purpose, was an instant New York Times Best Seller.

Using a combination of the latest neuroscience as well as her background in sociology and coaching, Martha explains how our brains tend to get stuck in an “anxiety spiral,” a feedback system that can increase anxiety indefinitely.

Beyond Anxiety walks readers through simple, powerful exercises that can help you step out of this spiral and reduce anxiety immediately.

But that’s not the end of the story.

The opposite of anxiety, it turns out, is a wonderful new way of life—one that can calm and inspire us as individuals and help us become a source of healing for everything around us.
