![]() No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Starts off well, has some really interesting/useful stuff to say but wanders off into nonsense in the second half. Five stars for the first half and no stars for the second half. I was quite disappointed with it given how interestingly it began. Read the first two sections then ignore the rest I think. ( ![]() I started reading this on the recommendation of my wife. I struggled through a few chapters and then put it to one side, intending to come back to it. I never did. This is written by a man who knows what he thinks, is not shy in sharing it - and is sure everyone else will think the same, once he's told them. I don't know whether I agree with him, but I do know that I have no desire to read anything written in this style. May 2020. Psychotherapist Dr. M. Scott Peck guides readers to see purpose in life is to nurture one's own or another's spiritual growth. In fact this is how he defines love. I found this book full of down to earth, common sense, uplifting insights. He starts out saying that life is difficult because we find the process of confronting an solving problems to be painful. The tendency to avoid problems and the emotional sufferin inherent in them is the primary basis of all human mental illness. Since most of us have this tendency to a greater or lesser degree, most of us are mentally ill to a greater or lesser degree. In the book he discusses discipline, love, growth & religion, and grace. excellent . A normal spiritual self-help book which talks about responsibility, integrity, being grateful, asking for forgiveness from God. The catchy title propels this book to be one of the best selling books but it's over-rated.
This book is truly a classic in the field of psycho therapy. It deals in n insightful way with the causes and solutions of neurosis among other problems we all deal with in our lives. It gave me an insight to why my 22 and 21 years old are like they are. I could have been a better father who had more consideration of how my personality affected them. I learn more about myself everytime I read it. It is written in a manner that is entertaining rather than dry. I am happy I have read this wonderful book. Pertany a aquestes col·leccions editorials
Confronting and solving problems is a painful process which most of us attempt to avoid. Avoiding resolution results in greater pain and an inability to grow both mentally and spiritually. Drawing heavily on his own professional experience, Dr M. Scott Peck, a psychiatrist, suggests ways in which facing our difficulties - and suffering through the changes - can enable us to reach a higher level of self-understanding. He discusses the nature of loving relationships: how to distinguish dependency from love; how to become one's own person and how to be a more sensitive parent. This is a book that can show you how to embrace reality and yet achieve serenity and a richer existence. Hugely influential, it has now sold over ten million copies - and has changed many people's lives round the globe. It may change yours. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
