Further Along the Road Less Traveled (Abridged): The Unending Journey Toward Spiritual Growth Audiobook

" Not as organized as the first one but still a good read "

" This book is an edited compilation of things Peck said in his lectures in the years after The Road Less Traveled. In my opinion, more editing would have helped it a lot. The tone is lighter than the first book's was, and it is lacking much of the first book's depth. There are even a few annoying spots where Peck refers to something he has previously said or written as though it is evidence for the assertion he is currently making. Also troubling is the fact that this book has much less psychology in it and, although its purported aim is to convince you to find your own personal religion, Peck hardly lets a page go by without a reference to Jesus. If you're looking for something to reaffirm your Christianity in a somewhat unorthodox way, this might be a good book for you. If you want something to help you keep learning the way you did from the first book... skip it. "

" peeking into our own selves is always the most scary and the most rewarding. i thought his chapter on religion was a bore, but the rest really helped me take one ugly look at myself and those around me. i was very impressed with it. "

" Three Stars "

" I liked at the ending when he suggested that therapists and Psychiatrists should get a spiritual history of their patients. "

" He should stick to the philosophy of his beliefs. Too much religion is thrown in. It taints the enjoyment of an otherwise excellent book for others who have different beliefs. "

" Can't imagine it now, but i know this book was very important to me when i was in my 20's "

" See The Road Less Traveled review. "

" Kinda annoying. "

" Peck has some great insights and this was a great follow-up to his first book. "

" a tool "

" Not as good as it's predecessor, but then, it's predecessor was one of the best books ever written. Still very good though. "

" Depressed? Feel like the world is against you? You're wrong, and this book will tell you why. "

" I enjoy the spiritual travels with Scott Peck. "

" Example book for aiding and promoting contemplation of personal & spiritual growth. "

" Had to stop reading. Did not resonate with me at all. "

" It was my bible during teen angst years "

" Not as good as the original, but still worth reading. "

" I love M Scott Peck - he is a little dotty sometimes - but that just makes him all the more likeable. "

" This is a continuation of M. Scott Peck's Road Less Traveled. It says similar things, with a few new thoughts and new twists with experiences that he went through since the Road Less Traveled. A Great read. "

" not much left untouched "

" The book provides new veiwpoints on spirituality and life. "

" Freaking Brilliant. There's not much more I can say. If you haven't read Peck's books, go get The Road Less Traveled and read it. RIGHT NOW. "

" I read this book to do a book report for the Hypnotherapy certification class I am taking...not a book I would have picked unless someone told me to read it! It was a good read and am grateful for the assignment (one of 14 book reports!) "

" This is a classic self-help book and was the best seller for long. But I felt this is not an easy read and lost interest mid way through. Some of the initial sections are great, but somehow finished the later part. May be its a re-read candidate for later years! "

" One of my book shelf favorites~ The old go to, when confused with direction, death, heartache... I still recall the first Line...Life is Difficult, and once we accept this it no longer is difficult.(don't quote me) :) "

" Should be required reading for every young adult. "

" Changed and shaped my thinking about discipline and love. Pretty much amazing! "

" This book boomshackalacka'd all over my life. It changed me in a big way. I took notes on the first 3 sections of the book, but the last, fourth section of the book was doodie. But the basic lesson I absorbed from this book will remain forever. BOOMSHACKALACKA! "

" My favorite book for a while "

" This is a great book, but it's a bit hard to swallow understanding the author's personal history! "

" Ok, I'm not gonna read this. Not my cup of tea and dated. "

" This was required reading in a psych class I took in high school. I remember liking it. Thought it would be fun to read again. Nothing too life changing, but a good read dealing with some basics. "

" An amazing book on personal and professional growth...through understanding and growing yourself "

" Not yet finished, but already one of my favourites. One of my favourite quotes: 'problems call forth our courage and our wisdom; indeed they create our courage and wisdom. It is only because of problems taht we grow mentally and spiritually. Deep stuff. Inspiring. "

" Another great book from Scott Peck as he outlines how he believes Christianity to be the most rewarding and fulfilling belief system "

" As the title suggests I find that this is just an extension of the first book "The Road Less Travelled" I did not find anything really different from the first book. "
