Quotes
from Readers
I’m on page 89 of The Love
You Deserve. The book is worth its weight in gold!
Russ
I
had what seemed a desperate and immediate need for guidance in matters
of the heart. I stayed up until 4am on a work night reading your book
and I am not ordinarily into self help or relationship books. In fact,
when I read the cover I thought the claims a big extravagant and so I
was rather skeptical. How refreshing to see that the book so far exceeds
cover claims!
Barbara
Thank you infinitely for your jewel of a book! It changed my thoughts
completely. Well, to put it short, I met the man of my dreams! I
actually didn’t think he existed, but after reading your book this truth
was just so reassuring! He does exist! We met at my Italian lesson class
last October, but it wasn’t until late January when I finished reading
your book that we met and started going out. The whole thing was so
impressively natural that it surprised us both. Thanks a million
roses!Gigi (Bolivia)
Your book has changed my life. I have cried, begged, demanded, pushed,
and sometimes hammered my way through my marriage with the focus on his
doing something about his anger. Because of your book I feel empowered
to stand in “my truth” in my very difficult 10 year marriage. I can
share kindness AND honesty simultaneously when I tell him how much I
love him and while I know that his anger explosions have very little or
nothing to do with me. I will not sacrifice myself to its power any
longer. You have been an answer to my prayers.
Jonnie
My
20 copies of The Love You Deserve arrived yesterday. I can hardly wait
for friends to read the book! I know it will do much good. We all need a
huge awakening to the importance of love. You two are at the forefront
of this awakening.
John
Through reading The Love You Deserve, I was finally able to leave an
abusive relationship, see my friend as the truly wonderful man that he
was, and ultimately realize that he was the one I wanted for my love
mate. We just celebrated our 3rd anniversary! I like the book
so much that I have given it to almost all my friends. One of my friends
read it while she was going through a divorce after 30+ years of
marriage. She is a minister and college professor. She took it to her
office where one of her colleagues saw it and ordered it for his class
on relationships. This book has done so much for me and for my friends.
Thank you for helping me find my love mate. And for providing me with a
tool that I can hand people who are struggling in their relationships.
Josie
I
send you sincere thanks for writing The Love You Deserve. After a period
of over a year, my wife and I are back together after I took the book
with me to our home in Europe. I read the book with her while I was
there and it opened all kinds of new feelings up, enough for us to
decide to make the life we wish together again. Our love is always with
you.
Mark
Scott and Shannon Peck are phenomenal. They changed my life in such a
beautiful and magnificent way. They live love! And their wisdom is
profound and immediately life changing. Either hear them speak or check
out their workshop. They are also co-authors of books that I read and
recommend to everyone. The Love You Deserve was my new Bible. I carried
it around with me everywhere for months.
Russell
As
I read, the magnificence of your light surrounded me and wrapped me up
and made me feel a child being cherished in the arms of pure Love! The
chapter “Cherishing your dreams” had a magical effect on me. When I read
how you experienced the liberation of your dreams, I felt that you were
touching a very special chord in my heart. I’m working on not hiding my
light anymore.
Veronica (Argentina, and European self esteem teacher)
I
just read (twice) “The Love You Deserve” and I’ve suggested it to
friends to read who are starting up new relationships. Your book is very
empowering and enlightening. I now realize that I am truly worthy and
deserving of so much more love than the marriage I just ended after 17
years. I deserve to love myself!
Cristen
I
have been studying your books diligently, and I CRAVE the spiritual
growth and the things that I am learning. And I mean CRAVE! I can’t seem
to get enough of the Truth! It is now everything to me! I read and study
every change I get! I realized for the first time in my life I recently
was able to forgive my father and all the people who had hurt me. This
feels wonderful! What a freedom! I gave up feeling like a victim. This
was the release of an enormous weight. I feel like I’m on a new path.
One of great desire for all the spiritual growth that God has for me,
and finally, an expectancy of good that I never had. I am finding that
the minute fear hits me, if I turn to God it disappears immediately. I
am amazed! Now I know that the answer is there! Thank you for your
encouraging love and support! You and Scott have made all the difference
in my life. The love is what I really needed. I thank God often that He
led me to you and Scott.
Judy
While I have and continue to realize how blessed I am to have received
such a wonderful gift form God in finding my husband, I still have been
unable to fully grasp the concept that I do deserve this kind of love in
my life. Your book has helped me see how much more love and joy I do
deserve, and can give to not only my husband, but myself, and our three
children. While I continue to grow and let love be in my life without
wondering how I could deserve this, your book is a constant source of
inspiration for me. Thank you for sharing your stories and your help.
Daniella
When I received The Love You Deserve, it was because I once again had
just experienced the painful break up of an important mate relationship.
I had already decided that I would not go back to the old thinking that
kept me in this vicious circle, but I was still feeling very lonely and
discouraged. On the train ride home I started the book. Ten minutes into
it I was smiling. Thirty minutes later I was laughing with happiness,
and by the time the ride was over, the book was done, I had felt a ton
of weight lift from my shoulders to be replaced with the absolutely
peace and certainty of knowing and feeling that I was perfectly loved.
No longer did I need to seek Love. It was already mine. The relief was
enormous. A few months later, without any effort, I met my current
husband who embodies all the qualities of perfect love. I know that this
extraordinary marriage is the result of already being perfectly loved.
The Love You Deserve book is the perfect medicine for anyone in pain
over love. Its cure is instantaneous and the result is the joy of
discovering the love that can never be lost. Everyone can benefit from
really knowing why and how they are already perfectly loved, and this
book has the answer to both.
Beca Lee Lewis, author of
Living in Grace, The Shift to Spiritual Perception
I
have to begin with telling you both “I love you.” After reading your
book, The Love You Deserve, I can feel nothing else but love for you
both. I need to tell you, “Thank goodness someone at last has written a
book like this!” It has changed my life. I now give your book to friends
and have learned to keep mine for me and for it to be always by my bed!
I have just emailed your website to my friends. I want to shout your
information to the world. That is how strongly I feel! I have learned
not to accept anything but the best (this was learned through 2 very
painful relationships and one marriage). That is my life’s goal and I
choose to stay single until I meet a person who has the same ambition. I
just want to say I admire you both and thank you for who you are!Jan
I
wanted to let you know how much your work has inspired me. I am author
of a book called “Unstoppable.” I really enjoyed your book The Love You
Deserve so much, that I outlined it and have a page of affirmations
hanging on my wall that I look at every day. I was married for 20 years
and have been single for almost three. I am committed to getting the
Love I deserve and you are an inspiration to me. You are models of what
is possible in creating a loving relationship. May God continue to bless
you my dear unstoppable friends.
Cynthia
I
want to take time to tell you how much I publicize your book. I’m not
only telling priests about it, but anyone who talks to me about
problems. Thank you for showing me how to love God so much more. I read
“Cherishing Your Dreams” and “Listening” chapters over and over. The
other sisters have bought your book. We chat about loving God more, or
finding out how to love God more or how to really listen to God. I was
woefully ignorant of how to grow in love of God until I read the whole
book! I was so flattered when one of the sisters reading the book said,
“Scott and Shannon do what you do!” I feel better now that I have
thanked you for a much better religious life that just keeps getting
better and better. Keep up our wonderful work. I love you and The Love
Center.
Sr. Patricia (nun)
Thank you for your beautiful hearts and your wonderful book, The Love
You Deserve, which my husband and I have found so very heart opening and
helpful in continuing to grow our relationship together. Your Fridays
together inspired us to schedule a weekly one-hour meeting to talk about
just us, a Friday Family Fun Night and an every other Sat night date. I
hope to expand this in the future. This has helped us very much as we
have two young boys who require much time and attention and our
conversations around them are often interrupted or involve talking over
loud noises.
Leslie
I
was scared spitless of men before I read your book, and had you not
brought me out of that, I would never have been prepared to trust a man
again. Now I’ve met a man, the first one in 8 years, and that is
positive proof that an entire change of thought has taken place. Thank
you!
Julie
I’ve thought of you two many times and what you represent with love
being the most important thing over all the other petty issues. You are
in my heart and helping greatly! If you could only see the tears in my
eyes!
Kathy
I
came across a paragraph in a book (The Changed Life” by Henry Drummond)
that defines what the two of you have meant to me and how it has
influenced my “changed” life. Here it is: “There are some men and some
women in whose company we are always at our best. While with them we
cannot think mean thoughts or speak ungenerous words. Their mere
presence is elevation, purification, sanctity. All the best stops in our
nature are drawn out by their intercourse, and we find a music in our
souls that was never there before. Suppose even that influence
prolonged through a month, a year, a lifetime, and what could not life
become? Here, even on the common plane of life, talking our language,
walking our streets, working side by side, are sanctifiers of souls;
here , breathing through common clay is Heaven.; here, energies charged
even through a temporal medium with a virtue of regeneration.” Scott and
Shannon, this is the Law of Love working through your lives. The above
excerpts articulate precisely the effect you have had on my life and
that of countless others.
Janet
I’ve read The Love You Deserve two times and it is wonderful. You have
really inspired me. I’ve always confused sex for love. Thank you so
much.
Claudia
Your Love questions are the kinds of questions the United Nations
meetings should open up with!
Lawrence
I
am working on loving where it is most needed and the corresponding
places in me on the same frequency. Thank you for your continued
inspiration and for leading the way for us into the realm of love.
Dennis
I
loved your book! It made me feel so good! I’ve met someone special in my
life recently and we started the relationship as the best of friends. So
I could relate to your ideas. I felt very empowered reading your book. I
am going to send it to my new friend to get his reaction. He will have a
better idea of what is stored in my heart for a relationship. I feel
like a new empowered woman ready to make a decision protected by divine
Love.
Lori
What a wonderful surprise to get the book… which of course, I started to
read immediately! I realize that the “friendship” part of the love
equation was undoubtedly missing in my relationship with my
ex-boyfriend. I had thought it was there, but in reading the book I know
now that I was wrong. It was a good lesson for me.

 I could
not put it down I was so starved for the real thing., Reviewer: A
reader
'Genuine love?' What's that? Wow! An actual, authentic road map for the
one and only true love. This book breaks through the most stubborn
cynicism. I could not put it down I was so starved for the real thing."
Real
Love, Really Revealed,
Finally someone as taken the practical approach to
explaining Love in our experience in an understandable way. The Pecks
share with tender intimacy and great compassion the practice and
experience of Genuine Love - how to recognize it, enlarge it, share it,
and to fully enjoy it. Free from "soap opera" romanticism they teach the
"heart skills" they've learned in trying times that create and nurture
genuine and lasting warmth, intimacy, and communion in Love. Having
bought more than 20 copies of their first edition to share with friends
and family and having attended their "Love Master" Workshops, I can
vouch that this couple has "got the goods". They walk their talk every
day with an ease of grace that's both truly inspiring and proof of the
principles they share. Their burning desire is to share the truths of
Heart Healing Love with all who will listen and learn. THIS IS A MUST
READ BOOK IF YOU WANT TO FIND AND EXPERIENCE LASTING, SATISFYING LOVE IN
ALL OF YOUR RELATIONSHIPS.

This book is the most helpful, meaningful book on
relationships ever written, and I've read dozens of them. You will want
everyone you love to read this book, because it creates a template for
happy healthy relationships, and it's written by two incredibly happily
married people, unlike other relationship books. I really liked the
chapter on finding the love mate of your dreams. I haven't found him
yet, but when I do he's going to have to read this book! The best how-to
relationship guide out there with loads of spirituality and practical
insights to either repair the relationship you are in, or help you
realize that you deserve to be loved far greater than you ever before
imagined. Plus this book is written in a user friendly way, just open it
anywhere and the jewels spill out. I can't recommend this book enough.
And at this price think of all the money you will save on therapy!
You
Deserve This Love Right Now
This book is a must for anyone interested in the new relationships
evolving between men and women. If you are wondering why love is not
working in your life and those all around you, this book not only has
the answers, but this book will show you how to prepare yourself for a
real, evolving love relationship as well how to make it work.
Love relationships are changing from the old "let us survive together
mode" to "let us help each other grow mode". The Love You Deserve: A
Spiritual Guide to Genuine Love by Shannon and Dr.Scott Peck is a guide
to this new type of relationship and how to let it happen. The rules of
love have changed, love has grown up.
Love relationships are the new evolutionary path for humankind. Love
relationships challenge us to grow beyond what we are by ourselves. This
book is one the groundbreaking books showing us the light to this new
kind of love. Do yourself a big favor, buy this book, read it, live it.
Share the book and the love with others. This book can help transform
your ideas of what love is and what it means to love yourself and
others. A must read for all those who know that there is a better love
out there in this world, they just cannot find it; but they can sense it
and it comes alive on these pages.

THIS BOOK IS A MANUAL, A COOKBOOK WITH THE SECRET RECIPE, IF YOU WILL,
FOR CREATING THE PERFECT LOVE. ONE OF MY FRIENDS READ THE BOOK AND MET
THE MAN SHE IS MARRYING NEXT MONTH BECAUSE THE BOOK TAUGHT HER HOW TO
RECOGNIZE A PERFECT MATE. AFTER READING THE BOOK MYSELF I MET MY CURRENT
BOYFRIEND, WHO IS ABSOLUTELY THE MOST WONDERFUL PERSON I HAVE EVER
KNOWN. ARE YOU CRAVING INTIMACY? ARE YOU WILLING TO DO THE WORK ON
YOURSELF TO ACHEIVE NEW LEVELS OF LOVE? IF SO, THIS BOOK IS A WIN-WIN.
Thumbs
UP!!
Reviewer: A reader
If you are not experiencing the love you deserve, you should read this
book with your love partner and DO the 10 Keys together. This one
belongs in your relationship library.
Excellent!
Superb, inspired!
The Pecks are chronicling a deeply private personal journey that
required humility, generosity and grace. They are showing how the
willingness to change brings greater good and that it is the quality of
our thinking and choices that determines the outcome. With divine Love
as the appropriate yardstick, they show us the full breadth of OUR
divine heritage, which includes PERFECT Love, complete Love, not a part
of Love. Their approach is introspective and metaphysical.
This approach will therefore be at odds with conventional psychological
reasoning. The difference between New Age concepts of metaphysics and
the Pecks is that theirs is based in their understanding of God as our
Cause and Source vs. a more impersonal universal sense of Truth.
I
recommend this book to everyone with eyes to see and ears to hear. It
will feed the hungry heart. And teach the reader the truth of their
'conscious worth'.
Continued success.
wonderful
exploration
Reviewer: A reader
Thank you for taking the time to write this book on how to improve your
love skills. These skills are not taught in school and if some of us get
it at home we are lucky. I have shared "The Love You Deserve" with
several of my girlfriends who have found it helpful to share with their
own sons and daughters. The fact that your book emphasizes how to
discern the quality of love we are expressing, also helps us detect what
kind of love we are receiving. I am making an honest effort to listen
better and to be honest and live my live with integrity and joy!
Thank
you Pecks!
Reviewer: A reader
This book has something for everyone! I went from dating complete losers
to finding a wonderful man who tells me he loves me everyday, who isn't
threatened by my independence, and who I am ecstatic to be with! The
truth is that I never imagined it...this book will teach you how to
assert your rights...and find the "perfect" love that we all deserve. I
would recommend this book to everyone, man or woman, whether or not they
are in a relationship.
This
book delivers!
Reviewer: A reader
The Love You Deserve will change your life,
guaranteed. The author himself lives a very loving life, in short, he IS
the message of this book, unlike so many relationship books where the
author is not practicing what is being preached. He is speaking from
experience of giving and receiving love after having suffered through a
terrible first marriage. If you thought unconditional love was a myth,
think again. Buy this book if you want happy relationships. You will be
very impressed with how easy it can be.
 Great
guide to truly loving vs intellectualized exercises
Reviewer: A reader
Reading this book illuminated what it means to truly love--without all
the processes involved in psycho-analysis. Love is here, love is simple,
and Scott shows us. The ideas are not new. He's reminding us, simply,
that we have it now. Isn't that great! I interviewed six individuals
from different walks of life at different stages of relationships for a
profile/review of this book for a monthly publication. Everyone got at
least one nugget from the book and since the interviews several months
ago, all have advanced in relationships & status of relationships
because of reading Scott's book. He's done a great service by sharing
what has worked for him & how it can be proved for anyone. Looking
forward to the next book from this loving and thought-provoking author.
Forget
all the rest...this is it!
This uplifting and practical book has changed my whole view of how to
love my husband and cherish my own dreams for the "perfect marriage." I
especially enjoyed the chapter on "Kindness + Honesty," which really hit
me where it counts, and has even helped me to deal with personnel
challenges at the office. I can't wait to read it again, chapter by
chapter, together with my husband!
More
than your Love-life ----- How to Live!
Reviewer: A reader
I
just gained so many ideas from this book, not just about my love-life,
but about how to enhance relationships with my kids, co-workers and
friends. I also now have faith that there will be love after divorce.
Pecks
are really crashing down the barriers to perfect love.
Reviewer: A reader
This book has
really offered the reader a reward for doing a little life-work. Perfect
Love!, what a concept! Thank you Scott, and what is next? I read the
book in an evening and continue to use it and the lessons each day.
Thank you for teaching me how to listen to and honor my relationships
more effectively.
The best
book of its type I have read
Reviewer: A reader
My wife and I
read the Pecks book with great enthusiasm. It seemed to put into words
the feelings we have both had for each other for the 34 years we have
been married. We acquired ten copies of the book for some of our friends
and even gave one to the local library. I understand it is being checked
out and read very often. More people need to read this wonderful work.
Understanding
the human and divine coincidence of love
Reviewer: A reader
As I continue to read the pages... it's exciting to read every single
page because it introduces a revolutionary way of thinking about love.
The book is spiritual yet practical. Helping us understand that although
it is our divine right to be loved we can experience it at the human
level. I always thought perfect love was meant only for the gods. But
now I understand that there is a divine and human coincidence in
experiencing perfect love! My consciousness is open to more love to
touch all facets of my life! I am so glad you were courageous and
generous enough to share it with the rest of us.
A must
read!
Reviewer: A reader
The Love You Deserve is fabulous. I found that it is a book for all
stages of a relationship, and even for those who are not in a
relationship. It has helped open up the lines of communication in my
relationship not only with my fiancé, but with my friends and family. I
felt one of the best thing I learned from this book is that you need to
ask for what you need in a relationship - and this book teaches you how
to ask in a way that is very receptive. It also teaches you how to open
yourself up so your partner is comfortable in asking for what they need
from you. This book comes highly recommended from me for what ever stage
you are in a relationship, or again, even if you are not in one it is a
wonderful way to help shape the next relationship you will encounter -
and I am sure if you have read this book you will have a relationship at
a much "higher" level. Enjoy!
New
information about love/relationships
Reviewer: A reader
I'm reading it over a second time because the information takes a while
to digest. Most "relationship" books are a total rehash of what's been
said over and over and over....... It's a good book with good concepts
which deserve thought and action.
A
powerfully transformative guide for all relationships!
Reviewer: A reader
This book was written for me! I have never been married and I am
currently considering it. I am already on my second reading of "The Love
You Deserve". Happily, my boyfriend and I are utilizing it together this
time as we work through the quizzes.
Honestly, before reading it I thought "perfect" love was unrealistic and
unachievable. This book has given me hope. I now know I don't have to
"settle" . With the step-by-step guidance in achieving these standards
of perfect love, I feel there is no chance that I'll make a mistake that
could end in divorce. Thanks!
Wonderful!
Inspiring and practical relationship guide book

Other's Dreams." The book will most certainly benefit anyone, single or
