This is one of the "best" books that I have read. I am an avid reader and I find that occasionally I will find a book that is well written, the author speaks in clear, understandable terms and who is accurate with their evaluation and conclusions. Dr. Peck is remarkable in this area. Among the hundreds of books that I've read, I rate this one in the top 2% on the bell curve. Sincerely, Dr. Linda Razza NEWS FLASH !!!!!! My brother Bruce introduced me to a nerw author ~ Matthew Kelly ~ This gentleman has blown me away with ~ "Thre Rhythm of Life" ......A MUST TO READ !!! Sorry M. Scott Peck, but there's a new Einstein in town !!!
Who can say anything negative about a book whose first line is "Life is difficult"? Starting with this truism, Dr. Peck in this older but still very relevant book, shows that not only can mental health and spiritual growth be coupled but are one in the same. Having worked in the field of mental health for over thirty years I am amazed at some of the naive statements I hear about the secularism of mental health. Without values and learning about others we have no society--only anarchy. In the same vein, an individual without values and compassion is isolated and, in most cases, meets the definition of mental illness. For once and for all, let Dr. Peck walk you through such chapters as love, grace and commitment. It is when we are able to find a way to let go of our expectations and learn to accept life that we can truly enjoy this wonderful walk together. Recommended reading for all--a must for any health care professional or religious leader !!!Read full review
A classic in self-help therapy textbooks. Still a valid paradigm for treating shame-based psychological disorders and helping to guide those with personality disorders to find their way forward to healthier living and self-acceptance in an age of endless anxiety.

I have read this book several times over the years, & it has been a great help. I keep giving it away to friends in need, so from time to time I buy a new (or gently used one). It continues to be a most helpful book.

Reluctently I first read this book over 30 years ago when it was assigned in school. It has become one of my all time favorites! When I am having difficulty in my life with one thing or another I crack the book open and read! It has helped me to discern which path I need to take. I recommend that everyone get a copy of this enlightening, up to date and inspiring book and keep it on hand. I have also bought it in bulk and given it to people that i felt could benefit from it the way I have! "Life is difficult" but "The Road Less Traveled" helps!!!!
