Le Dr Peck était un auteur influent qui a abordé les questions profondes de la psyché humaine, de la spiritualité et de l'intersection de la science et de la religion. Son écriture a fréquemment exploré le chemin vers la croissance spirituelle, la nécessité de la communauté et la nature complexe du mal humain. L'approche distinctive de Peck impliquait la synthèse d'intuitions cliniques issues de la psychiatrie avec de profondes réflexions philosophiques et spirituelles. Ses œuvres mettent les lecteurs au défi de l'introspection, de la quête de sens et de la culture de relations et de communautés plus intentionnelles.
Roman où il est question de mystère et de rédemption
Curieux roman situé dans une maison de repos pour vieillards et grands malades. A l'occasion d'un meurtre s'esquisse une série de révélations à propos de l'entourage. Bonne narration et lecture "édifiante" qui passe très bien malgré le message pas trop appuyé et une certaine crudité des situations. Adultes.
L'auteur, psychiatre, propose un ensemble de règles de vie adaptées à des situations concrètes, quotidiennes, pour déjouer les pièges de l'existence. Seul une discipline intérieure peut nous aider à venir à bout des idées fausses et à vivre en paix

Senge emphasizes its significance, urging serious leaders to engage with Greenleaf's ideas rather than other conventional texts. Max DePree highlights the growing momentum for enlightened leadership across various sectors, noting the scarcity of quality resources that address the values driving this movement. He considers the book a valuable gift for those who prioritize their responsibilities and relationships. M. Scott Peck shares examples of businesses that successfully utilized servant-leadership during crises, only to abandon these practices once challenges subsided. He points to the difficulty of embedding these principles into organizational culture. Jim Kouzes praises Greenleaf's legacy, asserting that true leaders recognize the power of purpose over position.

Now featuring a new introduction by Dr. M. Scott Peck, the twenty-fifth anniversary edition of the classic bestseller The Road Less Traveled, celebrated by The Washington Post as “not just a book but a spontaneous act of generosity.” Perhaps no book in this generation has had a more profound impact on our intellectual and spiritual lives than The Road Less Traveled. With sales of more than seven million copies in the United States and Canada, and translations into more than twenty-three languages, it has made publishing history, with more than ten years on the New York Times bestseller list. Written in a voice that is timeless in its message of understanding, The Road Less Traveled continues to help us explore the very nature of loving relationships and leads us toward a new serenity and fullness of life. It helps us learn how to distinguish dependency from love; how to become a more sensitive parent; and ultimately how to become one’s own true self. Recognizing that, as in the famous opening line of his book, “Life is difficult” and that the journey to spiritual growth is a long one, Dr. Peck never bullies his readers, but rather guides them gently through the hard and often painful process of change toward a higher level of self-understanding.
Confronting and solving problems is a painful process, which most of us attempt to avoid. Drawing heavily upon his own professional experience, Dr. M. Scott Peck, a practicing psychiatrist, suggests ways in which confronting and resolving our problems can enable us to reach a higher level of self-understanding.
