The Road Less Travelled

THE MULTI-MILLION COPY SELF-HELP CLASSIC ‘Few writers have touched more lives, and few messages have empowered more people.’ OPRAH WINFREY 'Perfect reading for these spiritually searching times.' INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY 'Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths.' Confronting and solving problems is a painful process that most of us attempt to avoid. And our very avoidance results in greater pain and an inability to grow both mentally and spiritually. In this timeless classic in personal development, psychiatrist Dr M. Scott Peck suggests ways in which facing our difficulties - and suffering through the changes - can enable us to reach a higher level of self-understanding. Drawing on his own professional experience, he discusses the nature of loving relationships: how to recognise true compatibility, how to distinguish dependency from love, how to be a more sensitive parent, and how to connect with your true self. 'Sound advice on how to build a happy life.' DAILY MAIL 'The granddaddy of self-help manuals and among the wiser of them.' THE TIMES 'Magnificent . . . This is not just a book but a spontaneous act of generosity.' WASHINGTON POST
