Scott Peck explains the ideas that shaped this book and that continue to influence an ever-growing audience of readers. \u003cbr\u003e Written in a voice that is timeless in its message of understanding, \u003ci\u003eThe Road Less Traveled\u003c\/i\u003e continues to enable us to explore the nature of loving relationships and leads us toward a new serenity and fullness of life. It helps us determine how to distinguish dependency from love; how to become a more sensitive parent; and ultimately how to become one's own true self. \u003cbr\u003e Recognizing that — 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 gently guides them through the hard and often painful process of change toward a higher level of self-understanding. \u003cbr\u003e Combining profound psychological insight and deep spirituality, this one-of-a-kind hardcover anniversary edition is a book to treasure and turn to again and again for inspiration and understanding.
