The First Fifty Pages Are Worth The Price.

In the first fifty pages of this book Dr. Peck really inspires me. These pages will be reread by me for many years to come. His words are an affirmation that good work will reap rewards, even if it is not in the form of instant gratification.

These first pages remind me that there is a lot more out there, and it helps me to refocus on what is truly important to me, to my family, and to the community I live in. Dr. Peck really speaks to the man in me who wishes to do his best for those around me, as well as helping me to fight back the more selfish man within me.

I find this to be a frankly written book, written plainly without unnecessary exercises in intellectual grandeur. He writes intelligently, passionately, and compassionately as Dr. Peck reminds you that he is just a subject to failings as the reader.

Very nice addendum to the Road Less Traveled

M. Scott Peck follows up his popular best-seller with this collection of essays melded together quite well to form a coherent book. The chapters range over a variety of topics that add to the spiritual growth theme Peck has going in his first book. The topics that stand out in my mind after having just read the book are as follows:

1. How society needs to think about dying more

2. How AA really has a good program - melding spirituality and psychology.

3. Science and religion (or spirituality) need to find common ground together after spending years in separate spheres.

4. The four stages of spiritual development.

There is more there too, but these are the topics that I remember the best. It's a very quick read and well worth your time. But read "The Road Less Traveled" first if you haven't done so already.

Few New Ideas

This book further expands on the "Road Less Traveled" and the "Road less Traveled and Beyond" and does not have the level of interesting new insights available in the earlier books. However, Peck is more careful in his criticism of others than in his earlier books. Read those books first since they are great, especially the "Road Less Traveled".

interesting

Less interesting than the others books I have read from this author, but still lots of thought provoking images and explainations.

Further Along the Road Less Traveled - Review by a writer

The book has been developed from Dr. Peck's lectures, which he has expanded, co-edited, and transformed into a unified and compelling presentation of his ideas and insights. In this philosophical work, Dr. Peck addresses the most urgent questions of personal and spiritual growth, including "blame and forgiveness," "the issue of death and meaning," "self-love versus self-esteem," and "sexuality and spirituality." The book takes us from the first step in the spiritual journey of growing up to the next step of knowing yourself, and the ultimate step of searching for a personal God. Further Along the Road Less Traveled is a journey of self-discovery. "Let us prepare ourselves," he says. "Let us do so by relearning how important we are, how beautiful we are, and how we are desired beyond our wildest imaginings. And let us, as best we can, go out into the world to teach others how important they are, how beautiful they are, and how they too are desired beyond their wildest imaginings."
Trish New, author of The Thrill of Hope and South State Street Journal.
