Marianne Williamson

For over four decades, Marianne Williamson has been a leading voice in spiritually progressive circles. She’s the author of 16 books, including A Return to Love, whose iconic quote—“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure…”—became a generational anthem. Four of her books have topped the New York Times bestseller list, including A Woman’s Worth, The Law of Divine Compensation, Tears to Triumph, and her latest, The Mystic Jesus.

Through her teachings and bestselling books, Williamson has helped millions explore universal spiritual truths at the core of the world’s great religions.

She is also the founder of Project Angel Food, which has served over 19 million meals to homebound individuals living with critical illness. A lifelong activist, she has championed issues of poverty, hunger, and racial reconciliation, and co-founded The Peace Alliance in support of a U.S. Department of Peace.

She ran for the Democratic presidential nomination in both 2020 and 2024.
