Sorry I meant "People" of the Lie

Richard Peck's bestselling book "The Road Less Travelled" seemed to make the assumption that people need a healthy dose of God to keep their psyches in sync. "People of the Lie" makes a case for the influence of the Devil.

But its not religious, it explore the true, pure evil born in some people

"Evil is the exercise of power, the imposing of one's will upon others by overt or covert coercion". "The core of evil is ego-centricity, whereby others are sacrificed rather than the ego of the individual." These words and the following analysis that Scott Peck gives us into the world of evil are sorely needed now in America. At the heart of our political and moral meltdown is the force of evil. According to Dr. Peck (psychology) ego-centric persons are utterly dedicated to preserving their self-serving image. They cultivate an image of being a good, right, God-fearing citizens. They specialize in self-deceit and thus are People of the Lie.
