The trouble is that none of the critics seem able to convincingly point to much that Peterson himself argues as representing a threat instead they all talk in terms of what he represents to them: the influence of the alt-right or the anti-feminist backlash.
Read moreīeing a liberal who lives in the nation's most liberal city, getting most of my news and commentary from liberal sources, I've come across a lot of fear and alarm over the rise of Jordan Peterson in popular culture.
Jordan Peterson is one of the best lecturer and thinker in this era. Having read some of the books he read like Dostoevsky and Orwell’s it helps to understand why he sees the world the way he sees it (probably too dark for those who likes a more positive approach) but for me, it is very realistic, scientific and very helpful to make life easier and meaningful. Nonetheless, if you are a realistic person brave enough to accept that everyday is a struggle and the world is not heaven, this book is for you. But then you will learn something new and finally know why he had to do this if you follow his lectures you will know that he like to talk! This book shows that Peterson knows what he is talking about and use the data to back up his opinion, but also there is a sense that what he thinks is also something that can be discussed further. The way it was written is unique sometimes it goes on a detour epxlaining something that you might wonder what does this have to do with the chapter’s title. I don’t know if this is in the self-help category, it is more of a mixture of a reminder of what we already know and where we naturally slip and do the mistakes. The way he interpret the bible and myths is superb and the way he explain human characters by using Disney characters is awesome. This book may seem grim because it puts everything in a realistic way, unlike other books that tends to make the world seems colourful.
#12 rules for life an antidote to chaos how to
As Peterson is a clinical psychologist, he puts the logic of how beings are naturally and why people act in certain ways and how to put things back in order, or to avoid chaos. All of the 12 rules are basically to make life in order so we do not have to stress in the chaos.
It is more of a reminder of what I have already known and to actually put it in action. 12 Rules for Life shatters the modern commonplaces of science, faith and human nature, while transforming and ennobling the mind and spirit of its readers. Peterson journeys broadly, discussing discipline, freedom, adventure and responsibility, distilling the world's wisdom into 12 practical and profound rules for life. What does the nervous system of the lowly lobster have to tell us about standing up straight (with our shoulders back) and about success in life? Why did ancient Egyptians worship the capacity to pay careful attention as the highest of gods? What dreadful paths do people tread when they become resentful, arrogant and vengeful?ĭr. Peterson tells us why skateboarding boys and girls must be left alone, what terrible fate awaits those who criticize too easily, and why you should always pet a cat when you meet one on the street. Humorous, surprising and informative, Dr. Peterson's answer to this most difficult of questions uniquely combines the hard-won truths of ancient tradition with the stunning revelations of cutting-edge scientific research. What does everyone in the modern world need to know?
