14 Inspirational Quotes from M Scott Peck The Road Less Traveled
M
Scott Peck was born in
New York City, the son of
Elizabeth and
David Warner Peck, an attorney and judge. Peck was raised a
Protestant (his paternal grandmother was from a
Jewish family, but Peck's father did not identify himself as a Jew). His parents sent him to the prestigious boarding school
Phillips Exeter Academy in
Exeter, New Hampshire, when he was 13. In his book,
The Road Less Traveled, he confides the story of his brief stay at
Exeter, and admits that it was a most miserable time.
Finally, at age 15, during the spring holiday of his third year, he came home and refused to return to the school, whereupon his parents sought psychiatric help for him and he was (much to his amusement in later life) diagnosed with depression and recommended for a month's stay in a psychiatric hospital (unless he chose to return to school). He graduated from
Friends Seminary in 1954, after which he received a BA from
Harvard in
1958, and an
MD degree from
Case Western Reserve University in
1963. He served in administrative posts in the government during his career as a psychiatrist. He also served in the
U.S. Army and rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel. His
Army assignments included stints as chief of psychology at the
Army Medical Center in
Okinawa, Japan, and assistant chief of psychiatry and neurology in the office of the surgeon general in
Washington, D.C. He was the
Medical Director of the
New Milford Hospital Mental Health Clinic and a psychiatrist in private practice in
New Milford, Connecticut. His first and best-known book,The Road Less Traveled, has sold more than ten million copies. (
