Summary: Boring- Teaches me little
Comment: I found this book boring. It seems as if it is a bit of a con- trying to make mre money after the first 'episode'.
This guy became a millionare by saying such things as 'life is suffering!' I could have said that! Remember, this is only his interpretation on life- and what makes his better than anyone elses? Because he is a psychiatrist? He just has more experience with suffering people. That doesn't necessarily make him more right than others or more attuned to the world.
People need to find their own interpretations of things- not adopt others- unless they TRULY agree. Not just because the author 'says so'.
In sum, boring, uninspiring, and doesn't really help one (or me at least) on this journey of life...

Summary: Still not enough to really help a person in need
Comment: If you are looking for a good book and are trying to understand your spirituality, you must read, The New Dance Of Christ by Anthony T. Massimini.
Take it from one who has read all of Pecks books and many other, besides. You won't find what you are looking for until you read The New Dance of Christ. I'm telling you, this will change your life...

Summary: Stick to the Original
Comment: Its impossible to discount Peck as an effective author. He's very passionate and moving in his books and he is indeed genuine. But this book does not have the power of the Road Less Travelled. This is mostly because Peck seems to have lost focus on why he wrote the original.
Peck's newer works tend to be based on conjecture and his own personal philosophies rather than on his expirience as a clinician. Furthermore he re-hashes many ideas on pain and myths and religion. His ideas about Christianity are fresh and entertaining but hardly based on a firm foundation.
But hardest to swallow was his his section on Heresy in which he claims heresy is alive and well in the church. Indeed it is, unfortunately its also in his book. I'm sure many Christian's would agree that Peck's idea that Jesus may have been bi-sexual, and therefor a sinner, would qualify as heresy. Also the way he discounts the scripture in many places shows that he's not exactly strong in his Christian faith, but still a skeptical pseudo-believer. Its miss-steps like this that carry on in the tradition of the shaky ending to his first book. Stick with the first sections on Discipline and Love, Peck is brilliant in them. Beyond that his work is usually good, but sometimes, quite bad.
