I read this book several years ago and found it very helpful and relevant. I have since recommended it to others and bought it as gifts for some. That's what this purchase was and I'm glad to have been able to have it available through Amazon.com at such a great price, especially with the economy as it is.

This book was recommended to me...which obviously was a mistake. I was able to get through about three chapters, which I read over and over trying to figure out what I had just read and never making any sense of it. I then took the book to someone else too see if they could get more out of it than I. Written by a psychiatrist...(I should have known that was a mistake right from the start)I just could not get his psychoanalytic gibberish...which was ridiculious. Hello, you head-shrinkers....can you just speak in English and stop trying to prove to the rest of the world how brilliant you are....it's really a bore. DO NOT waste your money on this gibberish. Can I get a refund???? Please !!!
By far one of the greatest books of all time. September 29, 2009

I keep buying this book every few years, reading it, giving it away and then buying it again.
I don't consider this to be a "self-help" book. This book doesn't offer exercises and 10 steps you must go through to achieve x, y & z. It's a book about living, life and people. It should be re-read frequently, since, being human, we tend to forget the profound lessons that the author shares.
This book is profoundly uplifting. I know people who have been deeply and profoundly changed by reading it.
As many people have pointed out, Peck is a Christian. When this book was written, I believe that he was a practicing Buddhist.
A classic in Self-Help literature. September 27, 2009

With the opening line, "Life is difficult," Peck begins this classic with what might be the most straightforward statement of all time. This book continues on with Peck's assessment of what it takes to lead a fulfilling life through responsibility, discipline and self control. It is well worth the money and I highly recommend it. I would add that Albert Ellis's book, A Guide to Rational Living would also be very helpful to you if this is the kind of book you would like to read.
