Written by a psychotherapist, this aims to show us the changes that need to be made in our lives to make the world a better place. Dr Peck addresses the way in which all organisations work, including families, institutions, businesses, governments and spiritual communities. It shows what the different aspects of our lives have in common and the importance of behaving with civility in each sphere. The author also wrote "The Road Less Travelled" , "People of the Lie" and "A Different Drum".
