Life is DifficuLt
eXActLY 30 years ago
the psychiatrist scott Peck
published a book called the
Road Less travelled, which
stood on the New York
times bestseller list for an
astonishing ten years.
since
then the book has sold more
than seven million copies
and been translated into at
least 23 languages.
in his book Peck penned one
of the most famous opening
sentences ever when he
wrote, “Life is difficult”.
those three words actually
formed the entire first
paragraph.
Rather than moan
and complain, he advised, we
need to accept this reality.
Personal growth, Peck went
on to write, is most often
a complex, arduous and
lifelong task.
Culture of Success
One reason Peck’s book
was, and still is, so wildly
successful is because that
opening sentence runs
counter to our accepted
cultural wisdom.
Ours is
a culture of success, not
struggle.
Wecelebratewealth,
prowess, power, strength,
bravado and confide
