I have a passion for helping people realize they are only limited by their imagination. By dreaming wildly and acting on one’s dreams, a person can achieve highly unlikely outcomes. People are born to be free and pursue the things in life that make them happy and fulfilled. However, people need education, training, and mentoring. I am driven to do each of these to help others live fulfilling and purposeful lives. My expertise arises from my formal training and applied life lessons acquired from modeling highly-gifted teachers and friends.
This book was foundational to me finding a workable definition of love and the key to finding happiness and peace in life.
It contains abiding truths that steer the reader into a life of honesty and right relationship with people. Most importantly, the book taught me the importance of paying attention and persevering through difficult patches. As a result, very few problems stop me from achieving what I set my mind to accomplish.
Now featuring a new introduction by Dr. M. Scott Peck, the twenty-fifth anniversary edition of the classic bestseller The Road Less Traveled, celebrated by The Washington Post as “not just a book but a spontaneous act of generosity.”
Perhaps no book in this generation has had a more profound impact on our intellectual and spiritual lives than The Road Less Traveled. With sales of more than seven million copies in the United States and Canada, and translations into more than twenty-three languages, it has made publishing history, with more than ten years on the New York Times bestseller list.
Bennet’s style of storytelling warmed my heart from the first paragraph. Her prose tickles the reader’s brain and soul as she explores themes common to humanity, regardless of people’s origins.
This book helped me understand human motivation and how people from the same parentage and household can have such different perspectives about who they are and the world. The book also demonstrates the human need for love and grace.

No one understands people and the African American experience and can make it come alive like poetry like Toni Morrison. I felt I was living in a different world as I read Jazz.
The book taught me how deep pain can run in one’s spirit and how some dreams for some people will always be a dream. I came to understand what internalized oppression looks like and how racism perpetuates such pain in people’s lives. The book made me want to work harder to dismantle white supremacy culture.
