The Different Drum - Peck M. Scott

`The overall purpose of human communication is - or should be - reconciliation. It should ultimately serve to lower or remove the walls of misunderstanding which unduly separate us human beings, one from another. . '' Although we have developed the technology to make communication more efficent and to bring people closer together, we have failed to use it to build a true global community. Dr M. Scott Peck believes that if we are to prevent civilization destroying itself, we must urgently rebuild on all levels, local, national and international and that is the first step to spiritual survival. In this radical and challenging book he describes how the communities work, how group action can be developed on the principles of tolerance and love, and how we can start to transform world society into a true community.

People Of The Lie - Peck M. Scott

A gripping book from the bestselling author of hugely popular self-help book, The Road Less Travelled. Leading psychiatrist and self-help pioneer Dr M.Scott Peck reveals his encounters with evil, during sessions with patients of his psychiatric therapy."The patient suddenly resembled a writhing snake of great strength. . . More frightening than the writhing body, however, was the face. The eyes were hooded with lazy reptilian torpor. . ."This is the second bestselling book by Dr M. Scott Peck. In this gripping psychology book, the leading psychiatrist describes his encounters during psychiatric therapy with patients who are not merely ill but manifestly evil - People of the Lie. This brilliant, disturbing book forces us to confront the darker side of our natures and to recogise that without spiritual and religious dimension, modern psychiatry cannot claim to understand human nature or behaviour. It is a worthy successor to The Road Less Travelled.

The culmination of a lifetime of counselling, lecturing and writing, M. Scott Peck''s major work leads us to a deeper awareness of how to live rich, fulfilling lives in a world fraught with stress, worry and anxiety. Writing with a depth of understanding that comes with the seasoned perspective of age, Dr Peck continues the journey of spiritual growth that began with The Road Less Travelled, one of the most influential personal development books of modern times. To the famous opening line of that book - ''Life is difficult'' he now adds ''Life is complex''. But the greatest challenge, he reminds us, is to learn to deal with life''s conflicts, problems and paradoxes to find the true simplicity that lies on the other side of complexity. The journey to serenity and inner peace, Dr Peck writes, can only be made with increasing self-awareness and social awareness. There are no easy answers for complex problems. The work of learning and spiritual growth is hard. And yet he shows us that there is a way to think with integrity, to know the difference between good and evil, to overcome narcissism, to love and be loved, to live with paradox, to accept the ...

Lidé lži - Peck M. Scott

Slavná kniha psychologa M. Scotta Pecka, autora známých titulů Nevyšlapanou cestou, Postel u okna či V jiném rytmu, obrací svou pozornost k jednomu z největších témat lidského života – k otázce zla. Projevy lidského zla a jeho podstatu zkoumá jak z vědeckého, psychologického a psychiatrického hlediska, tak z pohledu široce chápaného křesťanství. Autor vychází ze své bohaté terapeutické praxe, živě přibližuje několik výrazných příběhů, s nimiž se během své práce setkal, včetně účasti na exorcismu, a rozbor problému lidského zla rozšiřuje o otázky narcismu, kolektivní viny, pohodlnosti a lhostejnosti. Peckův odborný zájem nezůstává jen u analýzy, vede k úvahám o osobní spiritualitě člověka a zdůrazňuje zásadní roli lásky a dobra jak v životě, tak v terapeutické práci. Morgan Scott Peck byl americký psychiatr a spisovatel. V Portále vyšly jeho knihy Postel u okna, V jiném rytmu a Přátelská sněhová vločka.

The Common Wind - Julius S. Scott

The Common Wind is a gripping and colorful account of the intercontinental networks that tied together the free and enslaved masses of the New World. Having delved deep into the gray obscurity of official eighteenth-century records in Spanish, English, and French, Julius S. Scott has written a powerful "history from below." Scott follows the spread of "rumors of emancipation" and the people behind them, bringing to life the protagonists in the slave revolution.By tracking the colliding worlds of buccaneers, military deserters, and maroon communards from Venezuela to Virginia, Scott records the transmission of contagious mutinies and insurrections in unparalleled detail, providing readers with an intellectual history of the enslaved.Though The Common Wind is credited with having "opened up the Black Atlantic with a rigor and a commitment to the power of written words," the manuscript remained unpublished for thirty-two years. Now, after receiving wide acclaim from leading historians of slavery and the New World, it has been published by Verso for the first time, with a foreword by the academic and author Marcus Rediker.
