Tyler McElhenny- The Road Less Traveled

This book was written by a psychiatrist named M. Scott Peck. The story is how a human fulfills his God given role as human. Peck emphasizes three main aspect of life. Discipline is a means for spiritual evolution. It allows for you as a person to control yourself and have the capability to mature. The next is love. Love is one the basic human functions. It can be a love for a mate, action, or thing. Love comes in many shapes and forms. It can be both a positive and negative thing as well. The final aspect is grace. This would emphasize peace as well and the happiness that you must feel in order to have a successful life. I thought this book was very interesting because it was from the perspective of a psychiatrist as well as a devout Christian. You were able to see both sides of the human perspective and what life means.
