Alicia Sedgwick, the dynamic Monaco-based media figure and internationally respected communication coach, has released her second book, BEING – Guidance in How to BE Rather than How to DO. Building on the success of her acclaimed debut, Communicating Through Change (2021), this new release continues Sedgwick’s mission of empowering readers with tools for personal growth, resilience, and authentic living.

In an era defined by constant motion, digital overload, and relentless demands to “do more,” BEING offers a refreshing alternative: an invitation to slow down, reconnect with inner purpose, and simply be. As Sedgwick puts it, “We are human BEings, not human DOings.”

A Book for the Modern Mind and Soul

More than just a self-help book, BEING is a guidebook for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the pace of life or disconnected from themselves. Through heartfelt anecdotes, affirmations, and real-world examples, Alicia helps readers develop inner calm and clarity, rediscover their core values, and cultivate a more peaceful, fulfilling existence.

Each chapter is not only reflective and insightful but also includes powerful affirmations and even musical references—setting a tone of serenity and joy. Whether you’re a CEO, student, artist, or simply someone seeking more meaning in life, BEING provides practical steps to help you live with intention.

A Soaring Start

Despite only a soft launch on Amazon this May, BEING has already struck a chord with readers around the world. It has been named a Top New Release in the “Nonprofit Marketing and Communications” category on Amazon US, reached No. 4 in “Diversity and Inclusion” on Amazon France, and No. 6 in “Mental Health and Healing” on Amazon US.
