Loading... The Road Less Traveled (1978)by M. Scott Peck
None. Insightful. I enjoyed the blending of psychiatric and spirtual thinking. Not preachy. Helpful. (  ) Mortybanks | May 20, 2013 |  Reading again... (  ) poonamsharma | Apr 6, 2013 | Lent: self-improvement through discipline, love, growth, and finally grace; really bogs down in the grace section: God as coincidence, God as dream-giver, etc FKarr | Apr 5, 2013 | This book is defined for me by his terms "Character-disorder" and "Neurotic". They explained my marriage, it's failure and my role. Timeless book. (  ) johnkuypers | Jul 3, 2012 | This is one of the key books that started my conscious growth process as a young adult. I read it when I was 19 at just the right moment, and it served as one of the entry points into the genre of self-help and spirituality literature, which as a whole has had a profoundly positive affect on my life. Great book. ( ) edward.mannix | Jun 11, 2012 |
 This book is truly a classic in the field of psycho therapy. It deals in n insightful way with the causes and solutions of neurosis among other problems we all deal with in our lives. It gave me an insight to why my 22 and 21 years old are like they are. I could have been a better father who had more consideration of how my personality affected them. I learn more about myself everytime I read it. It is written in a manner that is entertaining rather than dry. I am happy I have read this wonderful book.
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0671250671, Paperback)By melding love, science, and religion into a primer on personal growth, M. Scott Peck launched his highly successful writing and lecturing career with this book. Even to this day, Peck remains at the forefront of spiritual psychology as a result of The Road Less Traveled. In the era of I'm OK, You're OK, Peck was courageous enough to suggest that "life is difficult" and personal growth is a "complex, arduous and lifelong task." His willingness to expose his own life stories as well as to share the intimate stories of his anonymous therapy clients creates a compelling and heartfelt narrative.(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 14 Apr 2011 07:02:20 -0400) Confronting and solving problems is a painful process which most of us attempt to avoid, yet avoidance can result in greater pain. Peck suggests ways of facing difficulties which can enable us to reach a higher level of self-understanding. |
