Synopsis

From the acclaimed author of The Road Less Traveled comes the personal story of his own journey of self-discovery. On a three-week spiritual quest with his wife to see the ancient megalithic stones in the countryside of Wales, England, and Scotland, he gained insight into such issues as parenthood, holiness, romance, art, and his own shortcomings.

Quatrième de couverture

The work of M Scott Peck has had a profound effect on the lives of millions of readers. He died in September 2005, leaving behind a legacy of inspirational writing. In his own words, In Search of Stones is 'the nearest thing to an autobiography I will ever write'. It is a book that tells more about him than any other, while at the same time helping readers to see truths about themselves and their own lives.
In Search of Stones is, on the surface, the story of a three-week trip through the British countryside 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 an allegorical search for meaning and romance and, ultimately, and exploration of our own life journey.
This is a beautiful work of spirituality and quest, faith and mystery, and the most intimate book from one of the West's most distinguished thinkers.
