Il Dr. Peck è stato un autore influente che si è addentrato nelle profonde questioni della psiche umana, della spiritualità e dell'intersezione tra scienza e religione. La sua scrittura ha frequentemente esplorato il percorso verso la crescita spirituale, la necessità della comunità e la complessa natura del male umano. L'approccio distintivo di Peck ha comportato la sintesi di intuizioni cliniche dalla psichiatria con profonde riflessioni filosofiche e spirituali. Le sue opere sfidano i lettori all'autoesame, alla ricerca di significato e alla coltivazione di relazioni e comunità più mirate.
Jenny e Dennis sono due fratellini che vivono nella campagna del New England: lui è uno scienziato in erba, lei vede l'incanto delle piccole cose e trova significati profondi anche negli avvenimenti apparentemente più banali.
The Search for Civility
Written by a psychotherapist, this aims to show us the changes that need to be made in our lives to make the world a better place.
Now featuring a new introduction by Dr. M. Scott Peck, the twenty-fifth anniversary edition of the classic bestseller The Road Less Traveled, celebrated by The Washington Post as “not just a book but a spontaneous act of generosity.” 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. 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. Recognizing that, as in the famous opening line of his book, “Life is difficult” 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 often painful process of change toward a higher level of self-understanding.
Confronting and solving problems is a painful process, which most of us attempt to avoid. Drawing heavily upon his own professional experience, Dr. M. Scott Peck, a practicing psychiatrist, suggests ways in which confronting and resolving our problems can enable us to reach a higher level of self-understanding.
