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 rose to prominence through frequent appearances on Oprah Winfrey's show, becoming known as her spiritual advisor. Williamson has written several self-help books, including the New York Times Best Seller A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles. During podcast appearances, Williamson discussed several foundational and literary works. She and Tim Pool discussed John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath, Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray, and Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird in the context of books being challenged or removed in schools. She spoke extensively about Helen Schucman's A Course in Miracles, describing it not as a traditional religion with dogma, but as a psychological training in forgiveness and a guide teaching that there are only two emotions, love and fear. Williamson also referenced Matt Taibbi's Hate Inc. to illustrate how media outlets foster division in political discussions, and brought up Rainer Maria Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet to address the concept of living with unanswered questions in modern politics.
