Product Description
Perhaps no book in this generation has had a more profound impact on our intellectual and spiritual lives than The Road Less Traveled. With sales of more than seven million copies in the United States and Canada, and translations into more than twenty-three languages, it has made publishing history, with more than ten years on the New York Times bestseller list.
Now, with a new Introduction by the leader, written especially for this twenty-fifth anniversary deluxe trade paperback edition of the all-time national bestseller in its meadow, M. Scott Peck clarifies the thoughts that shaped this book and that continue to influence an ever-growing audience of readers.
Written in a voice that is timeless in its message of understanding, The Road Less Traveled continues to help us explore the very scenery of loving relationships and leads us toward a new serenity and extensiveness of life. It helps us learn how to distinguish dependency from like; how to become a more sensitive parent; and ultimately how to become one’s own right self.
Recognizing that, as in the legendary opening line of his book, “Life is hard” and that the journey to spiritual growth is a long one, Dr. Peck never bullies his readers, but rather guides them gently through the hard and regularly painful process of change toward a privileged level of self-understanding.Amazon.com Review
By melding like, 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 hard” and personal growth is a “complex, arduous and lifelong task.” His willingness to expose his own life tales as well as to share the intimate tales of his anonymous therapy clients makes a compelling and heartfelt narrative.

“The Road Less Traveled” should be entitled “Highway To Wacko Liberalville.” Dr. Peck is merely cashing in by selling regenerated, simplistic, humanistic psychology mind candy. I do agree with his premise that life is tough and there is no free lunch. But, he contradicts himself by stating that the “scientific-method” must be employed to test ones’ “traditional” belief system. Sorry to say, in the same instance Peck leads the reader to assume that a hypothetical/metaphysical construct such as “spirituality” is a tangible entity that can be directly experimental, and measured under scientific scrutiny. Further, he appears to assume that if one is actively practicing the religion of their parents, he/she is narrow minded and blindly long-suffering the faith system (predictable thinking among the smug, anti-Christian “know it all,” misguided, narcissistic liberal left).
This type of book generally also appears to appeal to personality disordered/disgruntled human service workers including counseling psychologists (versus clinical psychologists) and MSW’s who either lack the ability to grasp more abstract clinical theory or have ax to grind due to their own poor object relationships in past. How do you know your place in this world? First know the world you live in. I suggest political science books authored by Dinesh De’Souza, Martin Yucky and Alvin Schmidt (Available on Amazon.com) Then, you may see why such self-help books like Dr Peck’s are so well loved (i.e, feel excellent mind poison for the liberal elite).

I first read this book in 2000. And I thought my own problems with this book might just be my problems projected on to the book. Or persons justifiable with impeccable reasonings were just minor problems, the criticizing of which would keep me from seeing the main issues and value of Peck’s writing.
I’m no practiced in biology nor in thermodynamics. I am not a medical doctor (like Peck) nor a legendary leader (like Peck). Despite these facts, I judge that Peck can be demissed because he makes the argument in this book that life–human and otherwise–overcomes the second law of thermodynamics (energy, though conserved, permanently moves to lower state of usefulness).
My faith now and then is that the Sun currently provides a vast and long-lasting source of useful energy. My belief of this is unshakeable. I judge that life does not place energy in anymore of a useful state than a silicon-based microprocessing unit. Nevertheless, Peck argues that Life does disprove the second law of thermodynamics. A minor point, but one that after 7 years of consideration was excellent a one to dismiss this stupid narcissistic pop-fool.
He claims to use the scientific method, yet on very basic perceptions I judge he gets it really incorrect. When I just reflect about most of the thoughts covered in this pop spiritual book that have less tangible aspects with reality. I now judge with excellent reason and my own unshakeable faith that persons too are just as ill-conceived as his notion of life overcoming the 2nd law of thermo.
