Books by M. Scott Peck

M. Scott Peck (1936–2005) was an American psychiatrist and author whose clinical practice spanned more than three decades. He trained at Harvard and Case Western Reserve University and served as a psychiatrist in the US Army before entering private practice. The Road Less Traveled, published in 1978, spent more than a decade on the New York Times bestseller list — an unusual record for a book of serious psychological and philosophical argument. His later books include People of the Lie, The Different Drum, and A World Waiting to Be Born. Peck converted to Christianity in 1980, and religious themes became increasingly central to his subsequent work.
