The Road Less Traveled: A New Psychology of Love, Traditional Values and Spiritual Growth

The truth—that love is the ultimate and the highest goal to which man can aspire. Then I grasped the meaning of the greatest secret that human poetry and human thought and belief have to impart: The salvation of man is through love and in love.

M. Scott Peck wrote the most beautiful definition of marriage I’ve ever read. His book The Road Less Traveled is known as “self-help” but it really is a spiritual/psychological treasure chest, and I highly recommend it.

Man’s search for meaning is the primary motivation in his life and not a “secondary rationalization” of instinctual drives. This meaning is unique and specific in that it must and can be fulfilled by him alone; only then does it achieve a significance which will satisfy his own will to meaning.
