The Road Less Traveled
《少有人走的路》是一本震惊世界的名著,出版后虽未作任何宣传,但经人们口耳相传,迅速畅销起来,它曾在美国最著名的《纽约时报》畅销书排行榜上连续上榜近二十年,创下了出版史上的一大奇迹。或许在我们这一代,没有任何一本书能像《少有人走的路:心智成熟的旅程》这样,给我们的心灵和精神带来如此巨大的冲击。仅在北美,其销售量就超过七百万册;被翻译成二十三种以上的语言;在《纽约时报》畅销书榜单上,它停驻了近二十年的时间。这是出版史上的一大奇迹。 毫无疑问,《少有人走的路:心智成熟的旅程》创造了空前的销售记录,而且,至今长盛不衰。 《少有人走的路:心智成熟的旅程》处处透露出沟通与理解的意味,它跨越时代限制,帮助我们探索爱的本质,引导我们过上崭新,宁静而丰富的生活;它帮助我们学习爱,也学习独立;它教诲我们成为更称职的、更有理解心的父母。归根到底,它告诉我们怎样找到真正的自我。 正如《少有人走的路:心智成熟的旅程》开篇所言:人生苦难重重。M·斯科特·派克让我们更加清楚:人生是一场艰辛之旅,心智成熟的旅程相当漫长。但是,他没有让我们感到恐惧,相反,他带领我们去经历一系列艰难乃至痛苦的转变,最终达到自我认知的更高境界。 Perhaps no book in this generation has had a more profound impact on our intellectual and spiritual lives than The Road Less Traveled. With sales of more than seven million copies in the United States and Canada, and translations into more than twenty-three languages, it has made publishing history, with more than ten years on the New York Times bestseller list. Now, with a new Introduction by the author, written especially for this twenty-fifth anniversary deluxe trade paperback edition of the all-time national bestseller in its field, M. Scott Peck explains the ideas that shaped this book and that continue to influence an ever-growing audience of readers. Written in a voice that is timeless in its message of understanding, The Road Less Traveled continues to help us explore the very nature of loving relationships and leads us toward a new serenity and fullness of life. It helps us learn how to distinguish dependency from love; how to become a more sensitive parent; and ultimately how to become one's own true self. Recognizing that, as in the famous opening line of his book, "Life is difficult" and that the journey to spiritual growth is a long one, Dr. Peck never bullies his readers, but rather guides them gently through the hard and often painful process of change toward a higher level of self-understanding. 点击链接进入中文版: 少有人走的路:心智成熟的旅程 注:两种封面,随机发货。
