Description
It’s not surprising that Martha Beck, best-selling author and columnist for O, The Oprah Magazine, grew up as a high achiever. Attending Harvard University for both undergraduate and doctoral degrees, Martha spends years fighting to be the smartest person in the room and contending with serious anxiety. It’s only after a revelatory trip to Japan that Martha learns to put her rigid pursuit of intellect aside and find true happiness in the peaceful empty spaces between all things.Listen to Nataly Dawn's Meditative Story, "My battle as a beginner opens up worlds of wonder": https://listen.meditativestory.com/NatalyDawnPIOLearn more about Martha: marthabeck.comFollow Martha on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/themarthabeck/Follow Martha on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themarthabeckIf this episode resonates with you, we’d love to hear from you.
