The Road Less Traveled by M. Scott Peck begins with a brutal truth: “Life is difficult.” But within that truth lies the doorway to extraordinary personal growth. This isn’t just a book—it’s a psychological and spiritual excavation of the human soul, stripping away the illusions we build to avoid pain, responsibility, and truth. Peck fuses clinical wisdom with spiritual insight, challenging us to confront our inner darkness and walk the harder path—the one of discipline, love, and grace. It’s not a comforting read; it’s a wake-up call to those brave enough to grow.
