People of the Lie Vol. 3

Possession and Group Evil

De: M. Scott Peck

Narrado por: M. Scott Peck

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

In Volume 3, Dr. Peck explores the largely unknown world of possession and exorcism. He also describes the unique relationship between group evil and individual evil, demonstrating how one person can affect or be affected by the actions and attitudes of a group. Drawing on his experiences as a psychiatrist and his observations of vivid incidents of evil in today's society. Dr. Peck takes us further into the dark side of the human psyche.

Told in Dr. Peck's characteristic warm and accessible style, People of the Life Volume 3 concludes the groundbreaking exploration of the essence of evil and provides a spiritual understanding as well as a way of coping with this age-old problem.

Bringing Divinity To The Darkness

Scott Peck brings us into the disturbing World of Evil with his masterful storytelling and gives us the tools to recognize the destructive power of the people who Lie to us in our own realities.

More Group Less Exorcism

I think he really went out on a thin and shaky limb with the possession part of this. It will only be interesting to fundamentalists who believe in this sort of thing. Call me a skeptic.

The group evil thing was interesting but I would have appreciated a more detailed review of this. The military is one place where group evil takes place. What about some other examples and case studies? Many books have already been written on this subject. What he said was quite accurate, just unsatisfying.

Objective, Realistic, Believable

I had read a book on toxic people. That author mentioned Dr. Peck in her discussion of evil. When reading People of the Lie, Vol. 1, I discovered Peck had worked with people who were possessed. A dear family member, who I love very much, had been struggling with possession and drug and alcohol recovery, so I was intrigued to read further. I’ve now listened to all 3 audio books in the series and just finished The Road Less Traveled. I’m currently reading Glimpses of the Devil. I find this all more than fascinating because I do believe the devil exists and, therefore, evil exists.I’ve also enjoyed Peck’s descriptions of behaviors from a psychiatric perspective. I’ve gained a deeper respect for the field of psychiatry. I enjoy learning—Peck’s works are not only educational, but engaging. He’s a very readable author. The fact that he is a Christian gives me comfort.

Part of a whole

This volume is part of a whole. I know, I missed it. This text assumes you have read something of the previous volumes.

Powerful and Humbling

I really was taken back by the raw truth and acknowledgement of evil, and yet the healing balm of coming from a place of love.
