Referenced in We Need to Talk: How to Have Conversations that Matter

I'm currently reading this book. This is a sophisticated book that needs to be handled carefully. I love psychology. That's why I fell inlove with this book. Scott Peck's strong premises here made the reader, like me to apply it from reality. Such as love is a commitment with action. Because love minus action equates to laziness and non-love. Another one, it by grace that people change for the betterment. Yes, his beliefs were also motiveted by his Christian views. : )

This is magnificent book!

It is certainly thought provoking, although the book itself seems random and disorganized. Its as if he just sat down and started typing every thought that popped into his head and he didn't stop until he was done! Then he never read it again.

I read this just out of high school. I loved it and it changed my life. It was a stepping stone into inner self work.

Learned loads but found too much repetition from previous works. The end poem was a bit too much for me.

This is a book of spiritual musings, though the author takes efforts not to make it so obvious; and has also succeeded to some extent.

He surely must have been guided that way; otherwise, many like me, could not have understood the head or tail of the rapid flow of his thoughts, which is only a continuation of his earlier thoughts that have already appeared as famous books.

I do not claim to have studied it and understood fully; but I can honestly say, I have been benefited by it. The concepts of thinking, consciousness, and learning now seem to be less abstruse. And, the choices to be made individually for self, and in relation to organizations, and society are clearer. all because, he speaks of - in clear terms - God and how He nurtures all of us.

To conclude with author's words: "God is too immense to be limited to any chapter or book or even bible. Yet there is one word for our human experience, whenever we happen - seemingly by accident - to tap into, to participate consciously in, that immensity. It is the experience of glory."

Nu m-a convins si mi-a fost extrem de greu sa o finalizez. Nu stiu ce ii lipsește, probabil traducerea din engleză e prea brută sau faptul ca autorul face mereu referiri la alte cărți scrise de el pe care daca nu le-ai citit te fac sa simți cumva pe langa. Totusi, are cateva pasaje din care ai ce învăța.

The Road Less Traveled: Something about our Personal God with each person having a different one depending on something. This book: Everything points to God.

Well, except for the above concept I do not agree with, the other things still quite similar to The Road Less Traveled in some sense, and that part is still great having read The Road Less Traveled.

I always love to hear from psychologists. Peck does well to describe his thoughts on key life issues, and discusses the way forward for individual progression. However, he seems to draw largely from person experience, perhaps not making full use of his ethos as a psychologist and theologian.

I'm reading the book not listening to the audio cassette.

Loved this book. Scott Peck didn't hold back and says it like it is. Delving into the human mind he makes a lot of sense of people and their behaviour. Although some readers might disgree with certain aspects I found The Road Less Travelled and Beyond a perfect read for those living in the mad world around us. Once again Scott Peck, thank you for a thoroughly good read.

Another inspirational book by Peck
