M. Scott Morgan Scott Peck Books

Written by a psychotherapist, this aims to show us the changes that need to be made in our lives to make the world a better place.

The essay "The Servant as Leader" by Bob Greenleaf stands out as a profound statement on leadership, offering insights that resonate deeply amidst a plethora of managerial literature. Peter M. Senge emphasizes its significance, urging serious leaders to engage with Greenleaf's ideas rather than other conventional texts. Max DePree highlights the growing momentum for enlightened leadership across various sectors, noting the scarcity of quality resources that address the values driving this movement. He considers the book a valuable gift for those who prioritize their responsibilities and relationships. M. Scott Peck shares examples of businesses that successfully utilized servant-leadership during crises, only to abandon these practices once challenges subsided. He points to the difficulty of embedding these principles into organizational culture. Jim Kouzes praises Greenleaf's legacy, asserting that true leaders recognize the power of purpose over position. Peter Block acknowledges Greenleaf's influence in integrating spirit and values into the workplace, ensuring his ideas remain relevant for future leaders. Over the past twenty-five years, Greenleaf's vision of servant-leadership has significantly impacted management theory, portraying leaders as those who empower others. This collection features key essays by Greenleaf and prominent thinkers like Peck and Senge, exploring the ethical use of power and the transformative po

Now featuring a new introduction by Dr. M. Scott Peck, the twenty-fifth anniversary edition of the classic bestseller The Road Less Traveled, celebrated by The Washington Post as “not just a book but a spontaneous act of generosity.” Perhaps no book in this generation has had a more profound impact on our intellectual and spiritual lives than The Road Less Traveled. With sales of more than seven million copies in the United States and Canada, and translations into more than twenty-three languages, it has made publishing history, with more than ten years on the New York Times bestseller list. Written in a voice that is timeless in its message of understanding, The Road Less Traveled continues to help us explore the very nature of loving relationships and leads us toward a new serenity and fullness of life. It helps us learn how to distinguish dependency from love; how to become a more sensitive parent; and ultimately how to become one’s own true self. Recognizing that, as in the famous opening line of his book, “Life is difficult” and that the journey to spiritual growth is a long one, Dr. Peck never bullies his readers, but rather guides them gently through the hard and often painful process of change toward a higher level of self-understanding.

Confronting and solving problems is a painful process, which most of us attempt to avoid. Drawing heavily upon his own professional experience, Dr. M. Scott Peck, a practicing psychiatrist, suggests ways in which confronting and resolving our problems can enable us to reach a higher level of self-understanding.

The incredible and inspiring book behind the primetime Channel 4 documentary, Peter: The Human Cyborg 'Peter's story is one of the most extraordinary you will ever hear. Remarkable. I urge people to read it' Stephen Fry 'With candour and bravery, Peter tells how he explored new frontiers of science to give himself a chance of survival in a digital afterlife' Daily Mail __________ Peter didn't choose to live forever. He simply chose not to die. Diagnosed with a rare but terminal Motor Neuron Disease, brilliant scientist Peter Scott-Morgan refused to accept that within a few short years he'd be dead. Instead, he embarked on a dangerous journey - to cross the border between mortality and immortality. He would meld his humanity with the latest computer and robotic technology to become Peter 2.0. This is the astonishing story of a man uniquely placed to pursue a new way of life that would not only alter him but perhaps redefine what it means to be human forever. __________ 'A remarkable story . . . you're left desperate to take nothing for granted' Radio Times 'What's striking is Peter's constant optimism, bravery and his ability to find radical answers to problems that have confounded Britain's brightest minds' Daily Telegraph 'Intriguing' The Times 'Fascinating and extremely moving' Sun 'A remarkable account of what it means to be human and what technology can really achieve' Sunday Telegraph

Just as The Road Less Traveled   provided hope and guidance for individuals seeking  growth, this major new work by M. Scott Peck,  M.D., offers a needed prescription for our deeply  ailing society. Our illness is   Incivility --morally destructive patterns of  self-absorption, callousness, manipulativeness, and  materialism so ingrained in our routine behavior that we  do not even recognize them. There is a deepening  awareness that something is seriously wrong with  our personal and organizational lives. Using  examples from his own life, case histories, and  dramatic scenarios of businesses that made a conscious  decision to bring civility to their organizations ,  Dr. Peck demonstrates how change can be effected  and how we and our organizations can be restored to  health. This wise, practical, and radical book is  a blueprint for achieving personal and societal  well-being.

Książka, która wywarła wielki wpływ na życie intelektualne i duchowe kilku pokoleń czytelników na całym świecie Kiedy M. Scott Peck, amerykański psychiatra, myśliciel i neurolog, opublikował w 1978 roku swoją opartą na własnych doświadczeniach terapeutycznych książkę w stosunkowo niewielkim nakładzie 5000 egzemplarzy, zapewne nie przypuszczał, że stanie się ona jednym z największych bestsellerów na świecie i zostanie przełożona na prawie 30 języków. Uznając już w słynnym pierwszym zdaniu swojej książki, że „życie jest trudne” i że droga do duchowego rozwoju jest długa, autor nie stara się zniechęcić czytelników listą radykalnych i gwałtownych zmian w naszym życiu, ale raczej delikatnie prowadzi ich przez trudny i często mozolny proces w kierunku wyższego poziomu samozrozumienia. Napisana przystępnym stylem, który jest ponadczasowy w swoim przesłaniu odkrycia naszej własnej drogi, książka pozwala nam zgłębić naturę pełnych miłości związków i prowadzi nas ku nowemu spokojowi i pełni życia. Pomaga nam również ustalić, jak odróżnić zależność od miłości, jak stać się bardziej wrażliwym rodzicem i – ostatecznie - jak stać się prawdziwym sobą. „Droga rzadziej przemierzana była jedną z pierwszych książek zajmujących się psychologią duchowości i utorowała drogę wielu innym, które poszły w jej ślady. Należy ciągle do niej powracać w poszukiwaniu inspiracji i zrozumienia siebie i otaczającego nas świata”. LIBRARY JOURNAL

Curieux roman situé dans une maison de repos pour vieillards et grands malades. A l'occasion d'un meurtre s'esquisse une série de révélations à propos de l'entourage. Bonne narration et lecture "édifiante" qui passe très bien malgré le message pas trop appuyé et une certaine crudité des situations. Adultes.

Kniha se zaměřuje na mezilidské vztahy a schopnost žít ve společenství. Autor, M. Scott Peck, pomocí konkrétních a často vtipných příkladů zkoumá, jak je tvořivá zkušenost vytváření různých komunit spojena s individuálním růstem. Popisuje fáze, kterými musí každá skupina projít, aby se stala společenstvím, a zároveň se věnuje duchovnímu rozvoji, přičemž dosažení nejvyšší fáze umožňuje jednotlivcům vytvářet společenství. To vyžaduje obtížný, ale osvobozující skok od zpochybnění vlastních pravd přes „prázdnotu“, která je součástí mnoha duchovních tradic, až k otevřenosti vůči pravdám druhých, což prohlubuje vlastní náhled. Kniha, poprvé vydaná v češtině v roce 1995, nyní vychází v novém překladu a je určena lidem se zájmem o duchovní otázky, život v komunitách, mezilidské vztahy a osobnostní růst. Peck, americký psychoterapeut, je autorem esejistických knih, které se staly klasikou duchovní a populárně psychologické literatury. V češtině vyšlo několik jeho titulů, včetně Nevyšlapanou cestou a Dále nevyšlapanou cestou.

Autor úspěšného titulu "Nevyšlapanou cestou" se v knize zamýšlí nad tím, co se děje po smrti člověka. Fiktivní příběh o posmrtném životě zaujme úvahami o tom, jak obohatit svůj život na zemi.

Obyčejný příběh o neobyčejných věcech Dívce Janě je asi deset let. Právě začíná zima a s ní přichází i sníh. Když Janě přistane na nose jedna jediná sněhová vločka, začíná přemýšlet o tom, co za vločku to je: jestli je hodná, jak je stará, jestli ji má vločka, jak se jmenuje (určitě František!), jaký má vztah s jinými sněhovými vločkami (vločky se přece rády lepí na sebe a vytvářejí závěje…), kolik miliard vloček Bůh zvládne nasněžit, proč každá vločka vypadá, jako by se skládala z ještě menších vloček, kam vločky odcházejí (až se zase oteplí, je čas říci Františkovi „sbohem“ – nebo snad „na shledanou“). Jana hledá odpovědi na své otázky a racionální vysvětlení jejího staršího bratra ji neuspokojují. Uvažování nad koloběhem vloček, závějemi sněhu a „putováním“ vody po Zemi vedou Janu k myšlenkám o Bohu, ke kterému si i díky příhodě s neobyčejnou sněhovou vločkou vytváří nový, osobní vztah. Novela se dotýká složitých otázek, přesto především díky velmi dobrým dialogům působí svěže a lehce.

En apparence, ce livre est un récit de voyage : trois semaines passées au Pays de Galles, en Angleterre et en Ecosse à battre la campagne à la recherche de mégalithes. Une quête obsessionnelle, un cheminement qui est une métaphore de la vie, de la connaissance et du mystère. Chaque étape de ce voyage est prétexte à l'évocation d'une facette de l'expérience humaine : la paternité, l'élévation spirituelle, l'amour du monde, l'amour des autres, l'amour des choses, pour ne citer que quelques exemples. Au fil des pages, le lecteur participe à cette quête qui s'efforce de percer les secrets de notre passage sur Terre. Voici, sans doute, le livre le plus personnel de Scott Peck : une voie étroite où, comme au détour d'un sentier de campagne, se dressent ces pierres qui signalent le chemin de notre vérité intérieure.
