Written in a voice that is timeless in its message of understanding, The Road Less Traveled continues to help us explore the very nature of loving relationships and leads us toward a new serenity and fullness of life. It helps us learn how to distinguish dependency from love; how to become a more sensitive parent; and ultimately how to become one’s own true self.

Mch in the manner of Rollo May...An inspiring discussion of healthy emotional growth. Highly readable...Dr. Peck's book is valuable and someties brilliant in its insistence that there is no distinction between the process of achieving spiritual growth and achieving mental growth. There are freshness and originality here. A book of our times..discussion of live is the freshes since Erich Fromm's and his approach to spirituality is simultaneously honest and understandable. It is a book which will be of great value at this precise moment in the pilgrimage of the modern Western world, because it meets our culture directly, encourages us to move forward, and points a trustworthy finger in the direction of wholeness.

Confronting and solving problems is a painful process, which most of us attempt to avoid. And the very avoidance results in greater pain and an inability to grow both mentally and spiritually. Drawing heavily upon his own professional experience, Dr M Scott Peck, a practicing psychiatrist, suggests ways in which confronting and resolving our problems - and suffering through the changes - can enable us to reach a higher level of self-understanding. Dr Peck discusses the nature of loving relationships: how to recognize true compatibility; how to distinguish dependency from love; how to become one's own person; how to be a more sensitive partner.
