This book was recommended to me by a friend who "had it all together." I asked her for her secret and she said that she'd been very successful employing the principles in Peck's book, "The Road Less Traveled." She loaned it to me and wow...I really enjoyed it and learned so much.

Peck's ideas about personal responsibility, self-discipline, and relationships offer ideas to any reader. His writing is easy to read and understand, and filled with anecdotes that are easily applied to the reader's situation.

I’m not a religious person, but I found a lot of value in Peck’s ideas for spiritual growth and personal development. Basically, though, this book is not for wimps. If are looking for a “poor me” serenade, “The Road Less Traveled” is not for you. Peck asks readers to take responsibility for their situations, and offers solutions for change (through sacrifice and hard work).

I recommend this book to anyone who wants to take charge of their own situation and change things for the better.
