The Road Less Travelled - A New Psychology of Love, Traditional Values and Spiritual Growth - - M. Scott Peck

“Life is difficult”, is M. Scott Peck’s opening statement to “The Road Less Travelled”.

This is a book about living; living in a way that sets you apart. It’s a book about Life and everything that we normally associate with it and with living. Peck divides the book into four sections: Discipline, Love, Growth & Religion, & Grace. But in these sections he addresses everything from falling in love to solving problems and dealing with pain. The challenge, of course, is doing all of these things in our limited lifetimes, but he writes about that too.

Most of us tend to take these `things’ for granted; we ‘do’ them without thinking about the reasons, methods, or the consequences. In the ‘The Road Less Traveled’, Scott Peck forces us to think about what we do, what we feel, and what we think in different ways that we have not thought of before.

Scott Peck combines years of psychotherapy with a natural writing style that attracts the reader and challenges his/her mind. It is not the writing style that makes the book difficult reading (even though there are a few instances in the book when he does become too involved), but the continuous challenge to you mind and to your preconceived ideas. Peck demands that you examine your mind, your feelings and your heart deeply and objectively. Most of us find that difficult.

Peck comes across his book as a warm and sensitive person and he makes you feel at ease instantly…
