About this listen
Dr. M. Scott Peck has inspired millions by combining the deepest insights of psychiatry with those of religion. In this first of a three volume audio series based on his best-selling book People of the Lie, Dr. Peck once again integrates religious teaching with the science of psychology as he offers hope for healing one of society's most persistent failings -- human evil.
In his characteristic warm and accessible style, Dr. Peck explains that while the notion of evil has been present in religious thought for centuries, the concept has not been fully addressed by the psychiatric community. Dr. Peck links the two to show us how truly evil people are not necessarily criminals but those among us who appear as upstanding members of society. Using individual case studies to present vivid incidents of human evil, Dr. Peck describes how these "People of the Lie" hide behind the facade of normalcy as they continue to plague our lives.
A groundbreaking and compelling audio program that explores the essence of evil, People of the Lie sets us on a path toward understanding and coping with this age-old program.

Health and wellness campaigns preach avoidance of unhealthy foods, sedentary lifestyles, tobacco, drugs, and alcohol, but rarely preach avoidance of unhealthy, difficult, or toxic people. Yet the health benefits of removing toxic people from your life may have far greater benefits to both physical and psychological health. We need to learn to be better gatekeepers for our minds, bodies, and souls. Narcissism, entitlement, and incivility have become the new world order, and we are all in trouble. They are not only normalized but also increasingly incentivized.

We are accustomed to think of sociopaths as violent criminals, but in The Sociopath Next Door, Harvard psychologist Martha Stout reveals that a shocking 4 percent of ordinary people, one in 25, has an often undetected mental disorder, the chief symptom of which is that that person possesses no conscience. He or she has no ability whatsoever to feel shame, guilt, or remorse. One in 25 everyday Americans, therefore, is secretly a sociopath.

Decades before the American Revolution, Benjamin Franklin lamented that English settlers were constantly fleeing over to the Indians - but Indians almost never did the same. Tribal society has been exerting an almost gravitational pull on Westerners for hundreds of years, and the reason lies deep in our evolutionary past as a communal species. The most recent example of that attraction is combat veterans who come home to find themselves missing the incredibly intimate bonds of platoon life.

Story
Despite the human race's extraordinary capacity for invention and progress, we clearly have a millennia-old blind spot in one all-important area: We don't understand evil -- what it is, how it works, and why it so routinely and effortlessly ruins our lives. Put another way, we don't understand ourselves.

Story
Eleven months after he was liberated from the Nazi concentration camps, Viktor E. Frankl held a series of public lectures in Vienna. The psychiatrist, who would soon become world famous, explained his central thoughts on meaning, resilience, and the importance of embracing life even in the face of great adversity. Published here for the very first time in English, Frankl's words resonate as strongly today as they did in 1946. He offers an insightful exploration of the maxim "Live as if you were living for the second time".

Story
Why do we think, feel, and act in ways we wish we did not? For decades, New York Times best-selling author Dr. David A. Kessler has studied this question with regard to tobacco, food, and drugs. Over the course of these investigations, he identified one underlying mechanism common to a broad range of human suffering. This phenomenon - capture - is the process by which our attention is hijacked and our brains commandeered by forces outside our control.

Story
What does it really mean to be a grown-up in today's world? We assume that once we "get it together" with the right job, marry the right person, have children, and buy a home, all is settled and well. But adulthood presents varying levels of growth and is rarely the respite of stability we expected. Turbulent emotional shifts can take place anywhere between the ages of 35 and 70 when we question the choices we've made, realize our limitations, and feel stuck - commonly known as the "midlife crisis".

Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross created her classic seminal work, On Death and Dying, to offer us a new perspective on the terminally ill. It is not a psychoanalytic study, nor is it a "how-to" manual for managing death. Rather, it refocuses on the patient as a human being and a teacher, in the hope that we will learn from him or her about the final stages of life.

"What must I do to gain eternal life?” The rich man who asked this of Jesus was told to sell all he had and give to the poor. But, more importantly, he was told, “Come, follow me!” Franciscan Casey Cole challenges us to let go of something more difficult than material wealth: expectations, anxiety, comfort, wounds, enemies, power - and our very selves. Speaking from both personal and pastoral experience, he outlines the stumbling blocks that turn us away from following Jesus as true disciples. The response to “What must I do?” is simple but not easy: Let go. Now.

It was the last 10 minutes that made the book noteworthy. I just wish there was more of that. I will need to read the next installments. Thank you Scott Peck for bringing this “evil” out of the closet, where most people don’t see it for what it is - because it’s essential for everyone to recognize this

Informative and Inciteful
Being a psychological study I expected it to be quite dry, and perhaps to a degree it is, but still I found it a very interesting subject. I wish it had been unabridged as I’m sure there was much that was glossed over for brevity, which was unfortunate.
The battle between good and evil is the primary tenant of Christian moral and a continuous struggle for those who follow Christ’s teachings. In our human nature we must choose to either struggle against evil or we will find ourselves without remorse and hopelessly lost in our sin.

Unmasking Hidden Darkness
In "People of the Lie, Volume 1", M. Scott Peck dares to explore the dark complexities of human evil, shining a light on the kinds of deception that often lurk in plain sight. Narrated by Peck himself, the audiobook feels like a raw and personal journey led by someone who understands the pain and confusion evil can sow in daily life. His voice resonates with authenticity, capturing listeners’ attention and inviting them to dive deep into the disturbing yet fascinating layers of human behavior that are usually ignored.
Peck’s approach blends real-life case studies with sharp psychological insight, providing an unforgettable examination of how certain individuals hide malevolent traits behind masks of normalcy. Each story he tells feels like a suspenseful revelation, keeping listeners gripped and prompting them to question how well they know the people around them. It’s a journey into moral and ethical boundaries, a place where comforting illusions are stripped away, exposing the uncomfortable truths within human nature.
What makes "People of the Lie" truly gripping is how Peck manages to address difficult, often frightening aspects of humanity without losing compassion. He navigates through complex moral dilemmas and behaviors with sensitivity, encouraging listeners to approach these subjects with both caution and empathy. His insights don’t just apply to psychology; they resonate on a personal level, prompting self-reflection and challenging listeners to confront the lies and deceits they may encounter—or even harbor themselves.
The audiobook’s pacing and tone are masterful, creating a powerful rhythm that shifts between tension and thought-provoking reflection. Each chapter delivers an emotional impact, offering both chilling and enlightening moments. Peck’s voice brings this to life with incredible depth, guiding listeners into difficult but essential conversations about human vulnerability and the fine line between goodness and cruelty.
This audiobook deserves a 5 out of 5 star rating for its bold and transformative perspective on human nature. "People of the Lie" isn’t just an audiobook—it’s a rare opportunity to confront questions of morality, compassion, and courage. For anyone interested in the unseen aspects of human psychology, this work is nothing short of essential.

Unmasking Evil
In "People of the Lie", Volume 1, psychiatrist and author M. Scott Peck delves into the unsettling realms of human nature, exploring the subtle yet pervasive influence of evil in our lives. Narrated by Peck himself, the audiobook feels personal, like an intimate conversation with someone who has seen the darker facets of humanity and is unafraid to confront them. His voice carries an authenticity that makes listeners feel both drawn in and unsettled, as he invites us to examine the complexity of human behaviors that often go unchallenged and unchecked.
Peck’s clinical insights and storytelling merge powerfully, offering real-life examples that resonate deeply. Each case study unfolds like a psychological mystery, revealing how people can hide their true nature behind facades of normalcy, even respectability. His observations on human deception and denial are piercing, bringing us face-to-face with questions about morality, self-awareness, and the courage it takes to confront uncomfortable truths.
What makes "People of the Lie" so compelling is how Peck balances intellect with heart. He’s not simply analyzing pathology; he’s also reflecting on the deep wounds and struggles that shape people’s lives. As a listener, you feel his compassion as much as his clear-eyed determination to expose the ways in which everyday “evil” manifests, often in the smallest acts. Peck’s nuanced perspective challenges us to look not only at others but also inward, to question the lies we tell ourselves and the subtle ways we may enable harm.
Throughout the audiobook, Peck examines themes of responsibility, forgiveness, and redemption, shedding light on the power of self-awareness in healing and change. He tackles the taboo subjects of evil and human cruelty with remarkable clarity, neither dismissing nor sensationalizing them. His reflections encourage a profound look at the human experience, sparking empathy as well as introspection, as he invites us to engage with these tough topics rather than shy away.
This work deserves a 5 out of 5 star rating for its courage, depth, and the essential questions it poses. M. Scott Peck’s fearless exploration of evil as an aspect of the human condition makes "People of the Lie" an essential listen. It’s a thought-provoking, transformative experience that leaves a lasting impact on anyone ready to question and understand the hidden sides of human nature.
