People of the Lie, Volume 2: The Hope for Healing Human Evil (Abridged) Audiobook

" Actually, I am not sure how to feel about this book. Yes and No. "

" This is an interesting pschological study about evil personality types. I found it facinating. "

" Alternated between highly thought-provoking and uncomfortably unreadable. "

" This book I consider a must read. "

" It's difficult to rate this book with stars...it's not a particularly enjoyable read--in fact, it admits to making the reader rather uncomfortable. But it is an important look at people who, well, use their craziness to make other people feel crazy. Dr. Peck would cringe at that summary, but there it is. "

" The scary side of human nature "

" This is a book describing the insidiousness of evil, often wrought by non-action and passivity, but also by attacking others for your own jealousy, paranoia, projections, etc. He describes clients who demonstrate his points, which I have also seen in my office and in life. "

" Evil exists, and people who tell and live lies personify it. Good luck understanding it. Awareness of its existence may be the most important step, which this book helps you take. "

" Disturbing book. I was unable to finish it all the way because it started to depress me. "

" great topic....I think the book would be more balanced if it had a few more examples of evil in men, most of the evil is seen in women. He might also be a little biased against people he personally feels a revulsion towards. Being disorganized and annoying does not make a person evil. "

" Chilling reality! "

" In this book, Dr. Peck puts forth his ideas regarding a psychology of evil. He seeks to describe and explain how to identify evil in individuals and groups. I found much I recognized in his descriptions of the manifestations of evil. Thought-provoking. "

" Love all of his books. Start with Road Less Traveled and if you love that book, then read the others! "

" One of the strangest books I've ever read. It was assigned reading for a graduate course. Still scratching my head on this one. "

" Things that make you go HMMMMMMMMMMM..... "

" Great book. Not as good as The Road Less Traveled, but a very good read nonetheless. I read this just after finishing my first year of grad school at NYU. Very helpful in understanding some of my own and others behavior. What a tangled web we can weave sometimes. "

" This is a profound and scary book, at least for me, because it is convicting of the evil, the manipulation, the narcissism, and the lies that lie within me Read it with a repentant heart and it will transform your life and your relationships. "

" you don't want to believe it but you need to. "

" Most people don't want to see lying as evil - what if it is the heart of evil! What if it is those people "who seem innocent but when you get down to it are subtly manipulating everyone around them" that are truly the most destructive in society? This book examines that idea! "

" A real eye opener... "

" Truth stranger than fiction "

" Joe and I read this 25 or so years ago....shed a lot of light on the type of people who raised him..... "

" Take a high school psychology class and there ya go. "

" Extremely insightful! Wonderful! Makes me realize I am NOT CRAZY! "

" Quite interesting in patches but very hard to take seriously given some of the God/Satan/Evil content. "

" Intense and very self stirring. Caution when reading. "

" The scary side of human nature "

" I read this because of my need to attempt to understand a son-in-law (who became an ex). It was somewhat helpful. "

" I read it as a teenager after I read The Road Less traveled--both were my first independent experiences with the power of NF. "

" Most people don't want to see lying as evil - what if it is the heart of evil! What if it is those people "who seem innocent but when you get down to it are subtly manipulating everyone around them" that are truly the most destructive in society? This book examines that idea! "

" Actually, I am not sure how to feel about this book. Yes and No. "

" great topic....I think the book would be more balanced if it had a few more examples of evil in men, most of the evil is seen in women. He might also be a little biased against people he personally feels a revulsion towards. Being disorganized and annoying does not make a person evil. "

" One of the most telling studies on the nature of human evil. Peck doesn't offer any definitive answers, but touches on and succeeds in conveying some facts on the darker side of humanity. "
