Amazon.com By melding love, science, and religion into a primer on personal growth, M. Scott Peck launched his highly successful writing and lecturing career with this book. Even to this day, Peck remains at the forefront of spiritual psychology as a result of The Road Less Traveled. In the era of I'm OK, You're OK, Peck was courageous enough to suggest that "life is difficult" and personal growth is a "complex, arduous and lifelong task." His willingness to expose his own life stories as well as to share the intimate stories of his anonymous therapy clients creates a compelling and heartfelt narrative. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From Publishers Weekly Psychotherapy is all things to all people in this mega-selling pop-psychology watershed, which features a new introduction by the author in this 25th anniversary edition. His agenda in this tome, which was first published in 1978 but didn't become a bestseller until 1983, is to reconcile the psychoanalytic tradition with the conflicting cultural currents roiling the 70s. In the spirit of Me-Decade individualism and libertinism, he celebrates self-actualization as life's highest purpose and flirts with the notions of open marriage and therapeutic sex between patient and analyst. But because he is attuned to the nascent conservative backlash against the therapeutic worldview, Peck also cites Gospel passages, recruits psychotherapy to the cause of traditional religion (he even convinces a patient to sign up for divinity school) and insists that problems must be overcome through suffering, discipline and hard work (with a therapist.) Often departing from the cerebral and rationalistic bent of Freudian discourse for a mystical, Jungian tone more compatible with New Age spirituality, Peck writes of psychotherapy as an exercise in "love" and "spiritual growth," asserts that "our unconscious is God" and affirms his belief in miracles, reincarnation and telepathy. Peck's synthesis of such clashing elements (he even throws in a little thermodynamics) is held together by a warm and lucid discussion of psychiatric principles and moving accounts of his own patients' struggles and breakthroughs. Harmonizing psychoanalysis and spirituality, Christ and Buddha, Calvinist work ethic and interminable talking cures, this book is a touchstone of our contemporary religio-therapeutic culture.

人的内心中总有两股力量在打架。 “我想认真看会儿书,但却拿起了手机。” ”我想规律地生活,但每到午夜却流连于酒吧。“ ”我想拒绝朋友的要求,但碍于面子又不得不违心地答应。“ ”我想放弃这份感情,但又害怕无法适应没有他/她的日子。“ 这样的生活状态并不是我们想要的...
评分一、 除了应付考试或者消磨时光的原因之外,很多人都是因为有了困惑才去看书的。书能解惑,他们是这么相信的。这话其实并不确切。对于书的这种态度,起源于学校教育的经验。一般而言,学校教育主要针对的是自然科学知识、历史知识,以及意识形态观点(也可以把部分历史知识归于...
评分极少研读心理一类的畅销书,因为自信于心灵的彪悍和活力,不屑于所谓的困境,其实不然,发现有一天也需要这些被称之为宝典的东西来肯定或是企图超越人生的瓶颈. 像落水者死命抓着一根稻草,把其书中的案例观点看成一道数学公式套用各种现实状态,去求唯一答案,在时间面前做一劳永逸...
评分由于同时看n多本书的缘故,《少有人走的路》这本书我看了许久许久。停顿与拖延并不是因为这本书不好,相反,恰恰是因为这本书足够好,书里面的一些内容的确是值得读者“细读+精读+反刍+回味”的。 最初,之所以打算看《少有人走的路》这本书,我是抱着意图省时省力地培养出一个...
评分确实是一本很值得看的书,用震撼心灵和洗涮心灵的字眼毫不夸张。就像一个同好者评论的那样,我也希望我周围的人都能看看。之所以我没用我爱的和爱我的,因为我不确定还可以使用“爱”这个字。 确实,书中“爱”的章节是最精彩的也是使我收获最大的。现实中的爱多被文艺作品的...
The first half was enlightening while the second half began to talk about the very intangible notions such as grace, god and etc. It should take a while to think back to it.

评分前面两章很解惑,四颗星;后面两章主要围绕天主教思想展开,对于我这种pagan来说兴趣不大,两颗星。平均一下,给三颗星! 这本书有几处提到了弗洛伊德,看起来很符合我的胃口,准备找点材料读一读。
评分相当值得一读再读,对个人的成长及解决生活的困惑都有益~~
