Now well into its fifth year on The New York Times bestseller list and with sales in excess of three million copies, The Road Less Traveled has staked a permanent claim to publishing history. In this, the second in a series of audio programs based on his landmark work, M. Scott Peck explores love, our key to personal growth and fulfillment. Dr. Peck offers both case histories and personal experiences in an attempt to define what it is we mean by love, and to clarify the confusions and misconceptions that arise in our thinking about it. From the ecstasy of falling in love, to the loving feeling that lacks the will to loving action,The Road Less Traveled: Love cuts through powerful, timeless myths to bring us to a deep understanding of its nature, as an action that demands of us courage and discipline. Discover with Dr. Peck love''s beautiful irony, which ensures our growth just as we extend ourselves for the growth of our loved ones. No other work on this subject has had such an impact, for no other writer can speak of it with such wisdom, penetration ---and love.
