A World Waiting to
Be Born : Civility Rediscovered
by
M. Scott Peck
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Just as The Road Less Traveled provided hope and guidance for
individuals seeking growth, this major new work by M. Scott Peck, M.D., offers a
needed prescription for our deeply ailing society. Our illness is Incivility--morally
destructive patterns of self-absorption, callousness, manipulativeness, and
materialism so ingrained in our routine behavior that we do not even recognize
them. There is a deepening awareness that something is seriously wrong with our
personal and organizational lives. Using examples from his own life, case
histories, and dramatic scenarios of businesses that made a conscious decision
to bring civility to their organizations , Dr. Peck demonstrates how change can
be effected and how we and our organizations can be restored to health. This
wise, practical, and radical book is a blueprint for achieving personal and
societal well-being.

Though I’m an avid Scott Peck fan, I postponed reading this book for a
long time, on the theory that everyone knows what civility is and I didn’t need
to read a book about it. Wrong! Lots of insights and new clarity
about how we can be both more frank and more civil with each other – more
genuine.
