The Road Less Traveled, 25th Anniversary Edition : A New Psychology of Love, Traditional Values and Spiritual Growth
Amazon Description:
By melding love, science, and religion into a primer on personal growth, M. Scott Peck launched his highly successful writing and lecturing career with this book. Even to this day, Peck remains at the forefront of spiritual psychology as a result of The Road Less Traveled. In the era of I'm OK, You're OK, Peck was courageous enough to suggest that "life is difficult" and personal growth is a "complex, arduous and lifelong task." His willingness to expose his own life stories as well as to share the intimate stories of his anonymous therapy clients creates a compelling and heartfelt narrative.

Life is difficult.
This is a great truth,
one of the greatest truths.
It is a great truth because
once we truly see this truth,
we transcend it.
Once we truly know that
life is difficult - once we truly
understand and accept it -
then life is no longer difficult.
Because once it is accepted,
the fact that life is difficult
no longer matters.
