Book Reviews of The Road Less Traveled, 25th Anniversary Edition : A New Psychology of Love, Traditional Values and Spiritual Growth

Book Review: Either M. Scott Peck is extremely good or extremely evil.
Summary: 4 Stars

This book describes the four pillars of spiritual growth: discipline, love, religion, and grace. The author points out that love is not the same thing as what most people consider "love." Rather, it is an act of the will to intelligently enhance someone else's spiritual growth.

Either M. Scott Peck is extremely good or extremely evil. Another book that he wrote, People of the Lie, is the most powerful book that I have ever read. And he labels ordinary people such as you and me to be "evil," maybe even more evil than a serial killer. Does he do this because we are truly evil and are in dire need of spiritual direction, or out of spite? We don't know.

Similarly, his book The Road Less Traveled does not give specific instructions, but merely creates a hunger for spiritual growth. He tells us what love is NOT, yet he doesn't tell us specifically enough what love IS. And he strongly supports Christianity, but yet has revulsion towards traditional Christianity. His attitude towards the mentally ill also is different than mine. Is this good or bad? I don't know.

Read the book and see for yourself.
