Publisher Description

Perhaps o book in this generation has had a more profound impact on our intellectual and spiritual lives than The Road Less Traveled. With sales of more than 7 million copies in the United States and Canada, and translation into more than 23 languages, it has made publishing history, with more than 10 years on The New York Times bestseller list.

Told in a voice that is timeless in its measure of understanding, The Road Less Traveled continues to unable us to explore the nature of loving relationships and leads us toward a new serenity and fullness of life. It help 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.

Recognizing that "Life is difficult" and that the journey to spiritual growth is a long one, Dr. Peck never bullies his listeners, but but gently guides them through the hard and often painful process of change toward a higher level of self-understanding.

Combining profound psychological insight and deep spirituality, this is an audiobook that provides inspiration and understanding. As Phyllis Theroux wrote in The Washington Post when the original edition of The Road Less Traveled was first published, "It is not just a book but a spontaneous act of generosity"

    " SO good!!! Makes you think about how you think about life and how to get the most from it. If you're into psychology/psychotherapy/mental health, it's a must! "

    " Someone in my undergrad or grad school programs should have insisted that I read this book before they credentialed and licensed me to perform mental health counseling. I am a better therapist for having read this book and will likely consult it for years and recommend it to anyone who might oblige me. Much of it is very basic truths, but nowhere else have I encountered it in such profound simplicity. "

    " I enjoyed the book, it is amazing how Mr Peck came through with his struggles with his parents and came into his own person as a young person. I found the book fascinating, it teaches us many of the values which we don't see much anymore in our current society. I, however, found it very unsatisfying that he did not practice what he preaches, which in the end make it difficult for me to believe what he wrote in the book and all of his research work. Hence the reason for the 3-star review. "

    " great until he started talking about spirituality. he was making a lot of sense until that point. i'd say it was still worth the read and the first half was full of useful insight. "

    " Very good book. I knew a woman once who blamed her depression on her Mother, and was worried what her own children would blame on her later. How sad is that? Along those lines, this book makes you desire to be an understanding parent, but to have a positive outlook for all. "

    " I really liked this book and would have given it 5 stars, until the author said that it would be okay in some situations for a therapist to sleep with a patient. Once I got past that idea, I did realize that there is really a lot of excellent advice in the book. "

    " I think one of the original books in the self helpy type field and still as poignant now as it was when I read it. In my humble opinion I think it should be read every decade because you will see different things each time as you are ready to hear them "
