His best-selling book, All Roads Less Travelled Lead to New Jersey was released in 1978 and was followed by a myriad of other books, all pretty much with the same theme: "If your life sucks, it's your fault; quit bitching and get off your lazy ass and do something about it." All of these books were praised by people who already had it made and could afford all the real therapy they wanted -- and who did not want to give one thin dime to help anyone else.

  • His best-selling book, All Roads Less Travelled Lead to New Jersey was released in 1978 and was followed by a myriad of other books, all pretty much with the same theme: "If your life sucks, it's your fault; quit bitching and get off your lazy ass and do something about it." Given such a simplistic philosophy, popular with wealthy God-Fearing Republicans, practitioners of Fundagelical Christianity, Prosperity Wicca and those of similar ilk, it is not surprising that the book only became a best-seller in 1983, after Ronnie Raygun came to power in the Great Fascist Revolution of 1980. It was followed by a number of sequels. All of these books were praised by people who already had it made and could afford all the real therapy they wanted -- and who did not want to give one thin dime to help anyone else. However, Peck was popular across the political spectrum. He also wrote People of the Lie: Help for Idiots Who Have Gotten Themselves Possessed by the Ghost of Hoobert Heever, which discusses exorcism as a way of dealing with right-wing fanatics. He also wrote a book about creating communities as a way to pursue peace. This book is called A Different Drum: How Rolling Your Own and Smoking Dope with Others can Make Everything, Like So Mellow, Man.
