Synopsis

This work was written for the many people who seek spiritual, as well as psychological ways of exploring questions such as: what is the nature of a loving relationship; how can we recognize true compatibility; and how do we distinguish dependency from love? Other books by M. Scott Peck include "People of the Lie", "The Different Drum" and "A World Waiting to Be Born".

About this title

Review:

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 Travelled. 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.

Review:

"Magnificent... This is not just a book but a spontaneous act of generosity written by an author who leans towards the reader for the purpose of sharing something larger than himself" (Washington Post)

"The granddaddy of self-help manuals and among the wiser of them" (The Times)
