Peck argues that everyone has a religion--a set of beliefs that defines an understanding of life--and the cultivation of one's own religion is the achieving of spiritual and psychological growth.

More About the Author
M. Scott Peck's publishing history reflects his own evolution as a serious and widely acclaimed writer, thinker, psychiatrist, and spiritual guide. Since his groundbreaking bestseller, The Road Less Traveled, was first published in 1978, his insatiable intellectual curiosity has taken him in various new directions with virtually each new book: the subject of healing human evil in People of the Lie (1982), where he first briefly discussed exorcism and possession; the creative experience of community in The Different Drum (1987); the role of civility in personal relationships and society in A World Waiting to Be Born (1993); an examination of the complexities of life and the paradoxical nature of belief in Further Along the Road Less Traveled (1993); and an exploration of the medical, ethical, and spiritual issues of euthanasia in Denial of the Soul (1999); as well as a novel, a children's book, and other works. A graduate of both Harvard University and Case Western Reserve, Dr. Peck served in the Army Medical Corps before maintaining a private practice in psychiatry. For the last twenty years, he has devoted much of his time and financial resources to the work of the Foundation for Community Encouragement, a nonprofit organization that he helped found in 1984. Dr. Peck lives in Connecticut.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The only book that ever changed my life.,
By edward filek (culver city, ca USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The ROAD LESS TRAVELED PART III RELIGION & GRACE CASSETTE : Religion & Grace (Audio Cassette)
At times, this book brought me to tears and I had to put it down momentarily. No other work has affected me in this way. This book is probably the premier self-help work of its time, largely due to lack of self-deluding arrogance found in its contemporaries. Dr. Peck's prescriptions cross cultural and religious boundaries, making it applicable to persons of any religious upbringing (or lack thereof). The book makes no easy promises but it was a wealth of hope 20 years ago for someone who had none.
