Oprah & Dr. M. Scott Peck

Oprah
About this episode
From July 14, 1993: Oprah talks with psychiatrist and author Dr. M. Scott Peck about his New York Times best-selling book, The Road Less Traveled. Dr. Peck explains why discipline is necessary to solve problems, how every life experience is a lesson and why love is an act—not a feeling. The Road Less Traveled went on to spend the equivalent of more than 13 years on the New York Times best sellers list. (Dr. Peck passed away in 2005 at the age of 69, after suffering from Parkinson’s disease and pancreatic and liver duct cancer.)
