About the book
Psychiatrist M. Scott Peck holds that confronting and solving problems is painful, so most people try to avoid it. Dodging that pain, he argues, creates more of it and blocks both mental and spiritual growth. Drawing on his own professional experience, Peck describes how facing difficulties, and suffering through the changes they bring, can lead to a deeper understanding of oneself. He also examines what loving relationships require, including telling love apart from dependency, becoming one's own person and parenting with more sensitivity. First published in 1978, it has sold more than ten million copies.
Mark Manson noted that it is based on a famous Robert Frost line and is often seen as a self-help classic for its realistic, sober take on suffering, love and growth.
