Marianne Deborah Williamson is an American self-help author, speaker, and political activist. She began her professional career as a spiritual leader of the Church of Today, a Unity Church in Warren, Michigan, and wrote several self-help books, including A Return to Love, which became a New York Times Best Seller. She rose to prominence through frequent appearances on Oprah Winfrey's show as her spiritual advisor. During podcast appearances, she discussed several significant books. On Timcast IRL, she mentioned John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath and Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird during conversations about books being removed or banned in schools. On The Megyn Kelly Show, she discussed Helen Schucman's A Course in Miracles, explaining its teachings on love and fear and how it functioned as a psychological training in forgiveness rather than a traditional religion. In the same interview, she referenced Matt Taibbi's Hate Inc. to illustrate how media outlets foster division in political discussions. Additionally, on The Rich Roll Podcast, she brought up Rainer Maria Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet to illustrate the concept of living with difficult and unanswered questions regarding modern politics.
