Martha Beck is a writer and Life Coach pioneer who specializes in Life Design - helping people design satisfying and meaningful life experiences.
Prior to uncovering and following her ‘essential self’, Martha was an accomplished academic with a Bachelor’s Degree in East Asian Studies and Masters and Ph.D. degrees in Sociology, all from Harvard University. She taught Sociology, Social Psychology, Organizational Behaviour, and Business Management at Harvard and the American Graduate School of International Management. She has also published academic books and articles on a variety of social science and business topics.
However, it was her work as a Research Associate at Harvard Business School, studying career paths and life-course changes that would eventually inspire her to developing her Life Coaching practice.
Her non-academic books include the New York Times’ bestsellers, Expecting Adam and Leaving the Saints, as well as Finding Your Own North Star: Claiming the Life You Were Meant to Live and her latest book, Steering by Starlight. Martha has also been a contributing editor for many popular magazines, including Real Simple and Redbook, and is currently a columnist for O, the Oprah Magazine.
