Description:This biography of “the nation’s shrink” is that rare account: a psychiatrist on the couch. In the 1980s and 1990s, thousands of women wrote to psychiatrist M. Scott Peck, MD, to thank him for helping them find fresh meaning in their lives through his ground-breaking self-help book, The Road Less Traveled (1978), which spent more than a decade on the New York Times Best Seller List. Through his workshops, appearances on Oprah and elsewhere, and because he was a psychiatrist, Peck made self-help respectable for a wide-ranging audience. Yet his own life was in turmoil. A classic wounded healer and something of a control freak, Peck made life difficult for his family, not least by his extramarital affairs.Boomer Guru explores Peck’s dichotomy in a deeply researched biography based primarily on hours of recorded interviews with the frank but conflicted guru.
