Renowned communication coach and media figure Alicia Sedgwick has published her second book, BEING – Guidance in How to BE Rather than How to DO, a thought-provoking follow-up to her acclaimed first book, Communicating Through Change.
In a society increasingly driven by pressure, performance, and the pursuit of constant productivity, BEING offers a refreshing and necessary perspective. Sedgwick encourages readers to move away from the never-ending cycle of tasks and instead embrace a quieter, more intentional way of living.
“This book reminds us that we are human beings, not human doings,” says Sedgwick. “It’s about making space for who we are, not just what we do.”
A Practical and Personal Journey
BEING is a blend of personal narrative, life coaching, and practical guidance. With each chapter, readers are invited into Sedgwick’s own experiences, from the challenges she has faced to the lessons she has drawn from her work with CEOs, refugees, and global organizations.
The book is structured to support reflection and self-connection, including affirmations, real-life examples, and suggestions for cultivating calm and clarity. A unique feature is the inclusion of a musical reference at the start of each chapter, setting the tone for the reader’s emotional journey.
International Recognition
Since its soft launch on Amazon, BEING has earned notable rankings:
- Top New Release in Nonprofit Marketing and Communications (Amazon US)

The response from international readers has been overwhelmingly positive:
