Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.com
The potential danger in this book's title is the assumption that Peck is rehashing the same material he wrote in The Road Less Traveled. Thankfully, this isn't so. Although he touches upon the same themes that appear in most everything he writes--narcissism vs. self-love and good vs. evil--Peck is clearly speaking to the crucial dilemmas of the 1990s, such as overly simplistic thinking, institutionalized racism and sexism, as well as the media's despairing vision. Now that Peck has reached the maturity of 60, his narrative is less know-it-all than in the days of yore. Yet, ironically, his decades of research, writing, and human service give him more authority than ever.

From Booklist
With this book, the hands-down most popular psychological and spiritual growth adviser concludes what he calls his Road Trilogy, the previous volumes of which are perennial best-sellers The Road Less Traveled (1978) and Further Along the Road Less Traveled (1993). One need not have read either of those to fully appreciate--indeed, to profit--from this book. Peck very cogently conflates psychiatry and Christianity in order to persuade readers that they are never going to be perfect, nor is the world going to be perfect, but that they can live responsibly and helpfully for both themselves and others if they will live thoughtfully and commit themselves to growing toward God. In the three parts of this book, Peck specifically counsels readers on rising above "simplism" by learning to live thoughtfully, on making choices in everyday life, and on pursuing the "science" of God. What finally makes Peck so compelling is his stress on complexity and paradox. He concedes, for instance, that rebelling against religion is often fundamental to continuing the journey to spiritual wholeness. "In the end," he assures, "all things point to God," who for him is, to paraphrase the hymnodist, the deep where all our thoughts are drowned--and glorified. Ray Olson

Having read "Further Along the Road Less Traveled", and its predecessor "The Road Less Traveled" I had great expectations for this book. I was gravely disappointed, however, to find that it was nothing more than an annotated bibliography (of sorts) of every book that Peck has written to date. It is, simply put, a long advertisement of the author's writing and practice accomplishments. I wouldn't suggest anyone flatter his ego any more by buying this book!

I read it from cover to cover but I couldn't understand him. I tried hard to get something out of it but his style of writing and use of words is "away over my head." This is despite the fact that I have been reasonably educated in that I have an undergraduate degree plus an MBA degree. There is a lot of repetition in the book. I also read "The Road Less Travelled" but got a little more of this book. Let it be known that I read non-fictional books every morning. I read about 40 books per year.

Much as I admire Peck's earlier books, I simply must warn others that this tape is a trip down a different road entirely. It is largely autobiographical, but not interesting. Frankly, I haven't been able to make myself listen to the second half of it. If this is the key to "Spiritual Growth in an Age of Anxiety," then I think I'll just stick with listening to traffic reports during my commute.

A powerful book, challenging and confronting
Initially I found the book a little slow and less exiting than "The Road Less Travelled" and this disappointed me at first. However it gets better and more confronting. Lesen Sie weiter...
