Acerca de esta escucha

Dr. M. Scott Peck has inspired millions by combining the deepest insights of psychiatry with those of religion. In this first of a three volume audio series based on his best-selling book People of the Lie, Dr. Peck once again integrates religious teaching with the science of psychology as he offers hope for healing one of society's most persistent failings -- human evil.

In his characteristic warm and accessible style, Dr. Peck explains that while the notion of evil has been present in religious thought for centuries, the concept has not been fully addressed by the psychiatric community. Dr. Peck links the two to show us how truly evil people are not necessarily criminals but those among us who appear as upstanding members of society. Using individual case studies to present vivid incidents of human evil, Dr. Peck describes how these "People of the Lie" hide behind the facade of normalcy as they continue to plague our lives.

A groundbreaking and compelling audio program that explores the essence of evil, People of the Lie sets us on a path toward understanding and coping with this age-old program.

Last 10 minutes sells the book

It was the last 10 minutes that made the book noteworthy. I just wish there was more of that. I will need to read the next installments. Thank you Scott Peck for bringing this “evil” out of the closet, where most people don’t see it for what it is - because it’s essential for everyone to recognize this

Too short

I thought the book was good, but too short. I was shocked and disappointed that it was finished. I guess I'll need to get vol. 2.

An important work and a excellent read

I found this to be a very important work, especially in this day of Wokeness. I think Woke thinking is evil.

Unmasking Evil

In "People of the Lie", Volume 1, psychiatrist and author M. Scott Peck delves into the unsettling realms of human nature, exploring the subtle yet pervasive influence of evil in our lives. Narrated by Peck himself, the audiobook feels personal, like an intimate conversation with someone who has seen the darker facets of humanity and is unafraid to confront them. His voice carries an authenticity that makes listeners feel both drawn in and unsettled, as he invites us to examine the complexity of human behaviors that often go unchallenged and unchecked.

Peck’s clinical insights and storytelling merge powerfully, offering real-life examples that resonate deeply. Each case study unfolds like a psychological mystery, revealing how people can hide their true nature behind facades of normalcy, even respectability. His observations on human deception and denial are piercing, bringing us face-to-face with questions about morality, self-awareness, and the courage it takes to confront uncomfortable truths.

What makes "People of the Lie" so compelling is how Peck balances intellect with heart. He’s not simply analyzing pathology; he’s also reflecting on the deep wounds and struggles that shape people’s lives. As a listener, you feel his compassion as much as his clear-eyed determination to expose the ways in which everyday “evil” manifests, often in the smallest acts. Peck’s nuanced perspective challenges us to look not only at others but also inward, to question the lies we tell ourselves and the subtle ways we may enable harm.

Throughout the audiobook, Peck examines themes of responsibility, forgiveness, and redemption, shedding light on the power of self-awareness in healing and change. He tackles the taboo subjects of evil and human cruelty with remarkable clarity, neither dismissing nor sensationalizing them. His reflections encourage a profound look at the human experience, sparking empathy as well as introspection, as he invites us to engage with these tough topics rather than shy away.

This work deserves a 5 out of 5 star rating for its courage, depth, and the essential questions it poses. M. Scott Peck’s fearless exploration of evil as an aspect of the human condition makes "People of the Lie" an essential listen. It’s a thought-provoking, transformative experience that leaves a lasting impact on anyone ready to question and understand the hidden sides of human nature.

Profound, relevant today

I read this book years ago and felt compelled to re-read it now when so many slip towards evil in our country.

Informative and Inciteful

Being a psychological study I expected it to be quite dry, and perhaps to a degree it is, but still I found it a very interesting subject. I wish it had been unabridged as I’m sure there was much that was glossed over for brevity, which was unfortunate.
The battle between good and evil is the primary tenant of Christian moral and a continuous struggle for those who follow Christ’s teachings. In our human nature we must choose to either struggle against evil or we will find ourselves without remorse and hopelessly lost in our sin.

Unmasking Hidden Darkness

In "People of the Lie, Volume 1", M. Scott Peck dares to explore the dark complexities of human evil, shining a light on the kinds of deception that often lurk in plain sight. Narrated by Peck himself, the audiobook feels like a raw and personal journey led by someone who understands the pain and confusion evil can sow in daily life. His voice resonates with authenticity, capturing listeners’ attention and inviting them to dive deep into the disturbing yet fascinating layers of human behavior that are usually ignored.

Peck’s approach blends real-life case studies with sharp psychological insight, providing an unforgettable examination of how certain individuals hide malevolent traits behind masks of normalcy. Each story he tells feels like a suspenseful revelation, keeping listeners gripped and prompting them to question how well they know the people around them. It’s a journey into moral and ethical boundaries, a place where comforting illusions are stripped away, exposing the uncomfortable truths within human nature.

What makes "People of the Lie" truly gripping is how Peck manages to address difficult, often frightening aspects of humanity without losing compassion. He navigates through complex moral dilemmas and behaviors with sensitivity, encouraging listeners to approach these subjects with both caution and empathy. His insights don’t just apply to psychology; they resonate on a personal level, prompting self-reflection and challenging listeners to confront the lies and deceits they may encounter—or even harbor themselves.

The audiobook’s pacing and tone are masterful, creating a powerful rhythm that shifts between tension and thought-provoking reflection. Each chapter delivers an emotional impact, offering both chilling and enlightening moments. Peck’s voice brings this to life with incredible depth, guiding listeners into difficult but essential conversations about human vulnerability and the fine line between goodness and cruelty.

This audiobook deserves a 5 out of 5 star rating for its bold and transformative perspective on human nature. "People of the Lie" isn’t just an audiobook—it’s a rare opportunity to confront questions of morality, compassion, and courage. For anyone interested in the unseen aspects of human psychology, this work is nothing short of essential.

Extremely valuable knowledge!

Explains why smart, good people can't make sense of other's lies and manipulations that hurt us, and they never take responsibility for it. Why is it so hard for us to walk away from these people. Perhaps it's because we're still trying to figure them out since their behavior baffles the kind mind. Here lies the answers.

What other book might you compare People of the Lie Vol. 1 to and why?

"The Psychopath Test" by Ron Johnson

Any additional comments?

Will buy follow up books on subject by this author. I have and will continue to listen to this book as it gives insight at each pass.
