Average Customer Rating:

Few New Ideas	Customer Rating:
This book further expands on the "Road Less Traveled" and the "Road less Traveled and Beyond" and does not have the level of interesting new insights available in the earlier books. However, Peck is more careful in his criticism of others than in his earlier books. Read those books first since they are great, especially the "Road Less Traveled".

The First Fifty Pages Are Worth The Price.

Customer Rating:

In the first fifty pages of this book Dr. Peck really inspires me. These pages will be reread by me for many years to come. His words are an affirmation that good work will reap rewards, even if it is not in the form of instant gratification. These first pages remind me that there is a lot more out there, and it helps me to refocus on what is truly important to me, to my family, and to the community I live in. Dr. Peck really speaks to the man in me who wishes to do his best for those around me, as well as helping me to fight back the more selfish man within me. I find this to be a frankly written book, written plainly without unnecessary exercises in intellectual grandeur. He writes intelligently, passionately, and compassionately as Dr. Peck reminds you that he is just a subject to failings as the reader.

Very nice addendum to the Road Less Traveled

Customer Rating:

M. Scott Peck follows up his popular best-seller with this collection of essays melded together quite well to form a coherent book. The chapters range over a variety of topics that add to the spiritual growth theme Peck has going in his first book. The topics that stand out in my mind after having just read the book are as follows: 1. How society needs to think about dying more 2. How AA really has a good program - melding spirituality and psychology. 3. Science and religion (or spirituality) need to find common ground together after spending years in separate spheres. 4. The four stages of spiritual development. There is more there too, but these are the topics that I remember the best. It's a very quick read and well worth your time. But read "The Road Less Traveled" first if you haven't done so already.

interesting	Customer Rating:
Less interesting than the others books I have read from this author, but still lots of thought provoking images and explainations.

skimmed through first one --	Customer Rating:
i skimmed through the first one -- dated and in places homophobic, so no idea what this one would be like -- the guy sounds like a curmudgeon, albeit a spiritual one.
