The Road Less Traveled: A New Psychology of Love, Traditional Values and Spiritual Growth

Confronting and solving problems is a painful process, which most of us attempt to avoid.

And the very avoidance results in greater pain and an inability to grow both mentally and spiritually. Drawing heavily upon his own professional experience, Dr. M. Scott Peck, a practicing psychiatrist, suggests ways in which confronting and resolving our problems-and suffering through the changes-can enable us to reach a higher level of self-understanding. Dr. Peck discusses the nature of loving relationships: how to recognize true compatibility; how to distinguish dependency from love; how to become one’s own person; how to be a more sensitive parent.

THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED, a national best-seller for four years, brilliantly integrates traditional psychological.and spiritual insights. The result is a book that can show you how to embrace reality and achieve serenity and fullness in your life.
