Perhaps unfairly, my only real issue with this was its brevity. Peck was not able to expound on such an enormous topic in this self constrained work, and as such I'm left wondering what his opinions are, rather then feeling like I know his perspective. Despite this, I still think that he provides a valuable perspective on a subject that most in the western world choose to ignore: death. He looks at many anarchistic saying regarding the body and related to death, "break a leg", "pain in the the neck", etc, and evaluates there ties with an outlook on death as it relates to the body. It was an interesting work, but again, I felt as though he barely finished the introduction when he wrapped up.

I will certainly read more of Peck, if only to learn why he has been so influential in American Psychology and the self help genre.
