Price inside dustcover: $23.00 - In Denial of the Soul, Dr. Peck differentiates the many situations that euthanasia is currently and commonly used to describe and offers new definitions that clarify its meaning. He rails against the inadequate treatment of physical pain and gives sensible medical and spiritual perspectives on chronic and terminal emotional and physical pain and illness. Denial of the Soul grapples with the deeper meanings of life, death, suicide, and euthanasia and asks whether we have the ethical right to kill ourselves even though we have the power. Through compelling stories from Dr. Peck's own experiences as a physician as well as from other medical cases in which some form of euthanasia was either practiced or considered, he explores the core issues that should arise when people face the question of euthanasia for themselves, their loved ones, or society: How does taking a life differ from allowing death? Whose consent does euthanasia require: the patient's, the family's, or the government's? When does physical or emotional pain become grounds for euthanasia? What can we learn from the process of dying a natural death?

NO writing, marks or tears - Tight spine - Bright pages - 422 pages - Illustrated - The work of M. Scott Peck has had a profound effect on the lives of millions of readers, and his book The Road Less Traveled has become both a part of the popular culture and a spiritual and inspirational guidebook for a generation. Now, Dr. Peck has written his most personal book: one that tells more about himself than he ever has before, while at the same time helps readers see truths about themselves, their own lives, and the greater community around them. On the surface, this book is the story of a three-week trip through the countryside of Wales, England, and Scotland that Dr. Peck took with his wife Lily - looking for the ancient megalithic stones that became an obsession for them. But the search for stones is a search for meaning and mystery, and ultimately an unveiling of the pilgrimage of life itself. Each day of the three-week trip he discusses a related realm of human experience - parenthood, holiness, romance, art, to name a few - and we travel with him on an adventure of the spirit, striving to understand the journey of life in all of its complexities and secrets. We are moved by the intensity of the journey, as Dr. Peck frankly faces his own fears and shortcomings, and through the power of his insight we are challenged to do the same. Illustrated with exquisite line art by Dr. Peck's son, Christopher, In Search of Stones is a beautiful book of spirituality and quest, faith and mystery, and the most intimate book to come from one of our most distinguished thinkers.

The culmination of a lifetime of counseling, lecturing, and writing, M. Scott Peck's major new work leads us to a deeper awareness of how to live rich, fulfilling lives in a world fraught with stress and anxiety. Writing with the depth of understanding that comes with the seasoned perspective of age, Dr. Peck continues the journey of spiritual growth that began with The Road Less Traveled, one of the most influential books of modern times. The journey to serenity and peace, Dr. Peck writes, can only be made with increasing self-awareness and social awareness. There are no easy answers for complex problems. The work of learning and growth is hard. And yet he shows us that there is a way to think with integrity, to know the difference between good and evil, to overcome narcissism, to love and be loved, to live with paradox, to accept the consequences of our actions all through life, and to come to terms with dying and death. With a unique blend of profound psychological insight and deep spirituality. Dr. Peck explains the compelling necessity to make the right choices in our lives, be they the personal choices that affect our own mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being, the organizational choices that affect the security of our families, businesses, and institutions, or the ethical choices that may affect the very survival of humankind.
