Discipline, love, growth and grace form the four-part spine of M. Scott Peck's argument about how people actually mature.
Written by a practising psychiatrist, the book treats personal difficulty as something to be worked through rather than avoided, drawing on case material from clinical practice to show how honesty, delayed gratification and responsibility shape a life. Peck moves between psychology and questions of belief, and the writing stays plain enough for readers with no background in either field. This Arrow New-Age paperback runs to 320 pages. Anyone dealing with a serious psychological difficulty should also speak with a qualified professional rather than rely on a book alone.
