M. Scott Peck
The Road Less
Traveled : A New Psychology of Love, Traditional Values and Spiritual Growth
Spirituality and Inspiration
Editor's Recommended Book
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.
Further Along
the Road Less Traveled : The Unending Journey Toward Spiritual Growth
The long-awaited sequel to The Road
Less Traveled deals with blame and forgiveness, self-love vs. self-esteem, the New Age
movement, the illusion of romantic love, and the mystery of death.
Different
Drum
In his ground-breaking bestseller, The
Road Less Traveled, Peck took
readers on a personal journey of psychological and spiritual development. In his new
national bestseller, The Different Drum, he takes the next step--to the larger experience
of living and working in community.
A World Waiting to Be Born : Civility
Rediscovered
Just as The Road Less Traveled
provided hope and guidance for individuals seeking growth, this major new work by M. Scott
Peck, M.D., offers a needed prescription
for our deeply ailing society. Our illness is Incivility--morally destructive
patterns of self-absorption, callousness, manipulativeness, and materialism so ingrained
in our routine behavior that we do not even recognize them. There is a deepening awareness
that something is seriously wrong with our personal and organizational lives. Using
examples from his own life, case histories, and dramatic scenarios of businesses that made
a conscious decision to bring civility to their organizations , Dr. Peck demonstrates how
change can be effected and how we and our organizations can be restored to health. This
wise, practical, and radical book is a blueprint for achieving personal and societal
well-being.
In Search of
Stones : A Pilgrimage of Faith, Reason, and Discovery
From the acclaimed author of The
Road Less Traveled comes the personal story of his own journey of self-discovery. On a three-week
spiritual quest with his wife to see the ancient megalithic stones in the countryside of
Wales, England, and Scotland, he gained insight into such issues as parenthood, holiness,
romance, art, and his own shortcomings.
In Heaven As on
Earth : A Vision of the Afterlife
When our soul leaves the flesh, what
spiritual journey do we take from here? Dr. M. Scott Peck attempts to answer this timeless question in a fable
about faith, destiny, and finding our place in the afterlife. The reader is taken on a
journey, to learn about the importance of having a "purpose" on both heaven and
earth, and also learns the importance of principles of faith and community that will serve
the reader well on the Earth, and beyond.
From a reader in Ontario -
"A beautiful solace
I happened to read this book while my son was fighting cancer and was in bone marrow
treatment. I was struggling with death and afterlife. Dr. Peck's book was heavensent. He
offered me a such a delightful comfort in this compassionate vision of afterlife. He
offers a wonderful sense of continuity of ourselves.It's heartening to believe all this
love we share here is passed and carried on. That we all stay connected at the deepest
level of our souls remembering and living the love we share. Best of all, the afterlife
Dr. Peck describes is not a panacea or the giant puzzle finally solved, but a continuation
of the sweet-sour mystery of life (or afterlife). His message I believe is that we as
love-bearers is the best role we can play in this vast mysterious universe. To love enough
to pass on, hold on, let go, agonize, yield, accept and to rejoice in the faith and belief
we are lovable and loving for eternity. " |
