Author: M. Scott Peck, M.D.This bestseller from the late 1970's was recommended by a close friend of ours. It is mainly about getting emotionally healthy. In fact, Peck goes on to state that all mental illness is from improperly handled relationships - either by us or others who have influence on us.
The book is well written. Even though Peck is a trained psychiatrist, he writes in a way that the layman can understand and fully grasp. There are many, "Ah-ha," moments throughout the book. While not a spiritual book, it is heavily infulenced by faith and its elements.
The beginning is much better than the end. It seems like the author just re-packages the info from the first half of the book into the second half. Even with this, it is still a very good read. 3 1/2 out of 5 stars
