The Different Drum: Community Making and Peace [Paperback]

'The overall purpose of human communication is - or should be - reconciliation. It should ultimately serve to lower or remove the walls of misunderstanding which unduly separate us human beings, one from another...' Although we have developed the technology to make communication more efficent and to bring people closer together, we have failed to use it to build a true global community. Dr M. Scott Peck believes that if we are to prevent civilization destroying itself, we must urgently rebuild on all levels, local, national and international and that is the first step to spiritual survival. In this radical and challenging book, he describes how the communities work, how group action can be developed on the principles of tolerance and love, and how we can start to transform world society into a true community.M. Scott Peck, M.D. is the author of theNew York Timesbest-sellerThe Road Less Traveled, with six million copies in print. His other books includeFurther Along the Road Less Traveled, The Road Less TraveledandBeyond, Meditations from the Road and Golf and the Spirit.
