The Road Less Traveled
Book • 1978
In this book, M. Scott Peck uses his experience as a psychiatrist to guide readers through the challenges of life.
He argues that life is inherently difficult and that spiritual growth and self-awareness can only be achieved by confronting and overcoming these difficulties.
The book is divided into four parts, focusing on discipline, love, spiritual growth, and the concept of grace.
Peck emphasizes the importance of discipline in delaying gratification, accepting responsibility, dedicating oneself to truth, and balancing conflicting factors.
He also discusses the myths and realities of love and how it supports spiritual evolution.
The book highlights that avoiding problems leads to decreased growth and increased suffering, while facing them can lead to greater self-knowledge and inner peace.
