The psychiatrist M. Scott Peck (1936 – 2005) is best known for his books, among them The Road Less Traveled, People of the Lie, and The Different Drum. He took short excerpts from the first and third of these and put them into a book of 366 daily thoughts called Meditations from the Road, published in 1993. The one for Feb. 1, from RLT, is reprinted just below, and then translated into Spanish and French. — MCM
