Summary: Paradoxically I'm in two minds about this book
Review: It's a summary but also a mild extension of Peck's previous works (although I have only read two others). I very much like his notion of 'paradox' being central to life and the system of which we are part. His words on the reality of death I found confronting but very sensible and challenging, and felt that this was an important part of the book for me. I found other parts of the book fairly self-indulgent, for example his constant references to his marriage and the mistakes he had made, his descriptions of his foundation (FCE) having to learn about business and the realities of retrenchment etc, and also his poetry. It takes effort to read this book. I would not recommend it to any of my friends, but am glad I pushed on and finished it myself.

Summary: The Bing and Bob of Spirituality in daily life.
Review: Messers Scott and Peck have done it again. They deliver in their easy style, home truths that broach the profound. With this third 'Road", they are becoming the Bob Hope and Bing Crosby of the Spiritual circuit! I love their style and content. It comes close to my all-time favourite - "The Autobiography of Jesus of Nazareth and the Missing Years" by Richard G. Patton. Both Patton and Peck have the ability to appear relaxed while illuminating difficult and profound themes that would test lesser authors. If you read the two previous books, you won't be dissapointed by this either. Keep it coming.

Summary: The Tape Less Tolerated And Beyond...
Review: Much as I admire Peck's earlier books, I simply must warn others that this tape is a trip down a different road entirely. It is largely autobiographical, but not interesting. Frankly, I haven't been able to make myself listen to the second half of it. If this is the key to "Spiritual Growth in an Age of Anxiety," then I think I'll just stick with listening to traffic reports during my commute.

Summary: No easy answers
Review: Peck's attack on simplistic thinking in this book is refreshing. There are subtle hints that we are innately lazy, which coincides with Mark Twain's more light-hearted view of mankind (and my own). There are also subtle (i.e. not stated) references to the theory of Yin-Yang in this book... although he doesn't come right out and say it, a good portion of this book is about balance. I don't like the constant references to his other works, but self promotion is a minor flaw. A few passages in this book are so insightful that they should be required reading for young adults... and all of us old dogs, too!

Summary: Good Stuff If You Stick With It and Search For It
Review: This guy gets it in life but his books are hard to read. You have to endure much to retrieve the good stuff in this one. I did and its worth it but tough read. He has the 'piece' when it comes to understanding human nature and people in general. Case studies are good but sometimes overdone. In the end - if you endure and are interested in knowing more about yourself and others - it is worth it.

Summary: A let's make some more money with this book
Review: This is the first book I read of this this author, but I do know there is a title "The road less traveled".But based on what I was reading and the title this seems like an attempted sequel to the first book with constant reference again to the first and other books by the author sometimes on a page to page basis is a real turnoff. One perceives the author has nothing new to say.

Summary: People of the Lie on The Road Less Traveled
Review: What I would like to speak to is the idea that we are God and that we do his work. I have had to learn so much about who I am and where I have come from, since I read Scott Peck's books. My family live the effect of the People of the Lie. Reality was that my family at one point in reality faced assimilation. Throught a miracle of Serendipity my father and I reversed that process. When I look back I realize that if it wasn't for my fathers memories we all would have lost the true story of where we came from, We were the first Canadian's, the Metis, our people and culture are distint. With the Canadian Goverment recent enclusion of the term Metis to the Canadian Constition. I once again have the hope that my country Canada will grow to be a loving nation.
