Jonathan's Recommendation for Psychology,
Spirituality & Philosophy:
The author of In Heaven As on Earth uses the occasion of a visit to the monoliths of Stonehenge to reflect on the spiritual, psychological, and philosophical truths that have shaped his life and formed his soul.
"Peck, author of the phenomenal best seller The Road Less Travelled (1978) and a number of other respected books on personal growth, continues his journey with a thoroughly readable account of a vacation trip he and his wife took through Great Britain in search of megalithic stone monuments built by Neolithic people several thousand years ago.
Peck and his wife are archaeology enthusiasts, and their quest for prehistoric standing stones takes them to many small towns and interesting out-of-the-way places. Against this backdrop, Peck interweaves philosophical musings and personal wisdom on a variety of subjects, including peace, parenthood, aging, religion, art, money, and death. He speaks openly and candidly of his own shortcomings as well as his triumphs, successes, and outlook on life.
His search for ancient stone monuments leads to a deeper quest?an exploration of the mind and of one's own humanity. Peck masterfully integrates travel, archaeology, history, philosophy, and
autobiography to provide useful insights into many of life's basic issues. This thoughtful work would be a valuable addition for all public libraries and is sure to be popular with those who are
already familiar with Peck's writings."
