In "THE WAY OF INTEGRITY," Beck 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 people—people pleasing, staying in stale relationships, negative habits—all point to what happens when we are out of touch with what truly makes us feel whole.

Inspired by "The Divine Comedy," Beck uses Dante’s classic hero’s journey as a framework to break down the process of attaining personal integrity into small, manageable steps.
