In 12 Rules for Life, clinical psychologist and celebrated professor at Harvard and the University of Toronto Dr. Jordan B. Peterson helped millions of readers impose order on the chaos of their lives. Now, in this bold sequel, Peterson delivers twelve more lifesaving principles for resisting the exhausting toll that our desire to order the world inevitably takes.
In a time when the human will increasingly imposes itself over every sphere of life—from our social structures to our emotional states—Peterson warns that too much security is dangerous. What’s more, he offers strategies for overcoming the cultural, scientific, and psychological forces causing us to tend toward tyranny, and teaches us how to rely instead on our instinct to find meaning and purpose, even—and especially—when we find ourselves powerless.

DeletePeterson is a gatekeeping alprazolam addict. Physician heal thyself
ReplyDeleteJordan Peterson is the educated end of the spectrum that starts with the Tate brothers. Peterson is more educated and says things in a quiet voice with a patina of intellectual/professor language but still stands for the same views.
ReplyDeleteHe believes women should be subordinated to men. He thinks It is ok that women get paid less for the same work as men.
Peterson believes that male led hierarchies are biologically natural and inevitable rather than purely social constructs. He chooses to ignore the hundreds of examples of matriarchically organized societies all over the world.
The underlying truth in most of his views is that he is an old white man that is afraid that he is loosing power and by presenting the societal structure he grew up as natural and inevitable he is trying to stop women progress.
Much like the Tate brothers, Peterson is a weak man masquerading as a strong man. Fuck him and fuck those who think like him.
You're mostly full of shit and everybody that encounters you instantly knows it. What a pathetic specimen you are, and a bold faced liar.
DeleteYeah, what Ghost said.
DeleteYou’ve clearly never listened to him in his own words, and are regurgitating internet summaries. There are thousands of videos of him, in his own words, that contradict what you typed.
DeleteNo, he’s explained repeatedly that hierarchies are necessary so we can function in a world of infinite information. The hierarchies can be based on power or merit. Those based on power are weak and unstable. Do you hire a plumber or doctor based on who’s the most competent or the most tyrannical?
DeleteSomeone has Daddy issues.
DeleteThese people have no shame. He's a drug addled- mental case writing books on how we should live our lives.
ReplyDeleteHow much cocaine did Sigmud Freud send up his nose? Was is more or less than Hunter Biden?
DeleteHis wife received a terminal diagnosis, and he started taking an antidepressant under the care of a doctor. He tried to withdraw but had some kind of rare autoimmune reaction and had to go to Russia to be put in a coma while he went through the otherwise unbearable withdrawal symptoms. His daughter documented the whole thing, and he’s explained it many times, including in the linked book.
DeleteCertified lunatic.
ReplyDeleteBefore he went crazy, he drove his haters crazy. "When you stare into the abyss long enough, don't be surprised when the abyss stares back at you."
DeleteWhy all the venom? He’s human, and he’s had human failings. Let those among us who is with our sin cast the first stone. All he’s done is encourage people to take responsibility for their situation, and it’s a message that has resonated especially with young men , who today are in desperate need to proper guidance and encouragement. Try reading something that he actually wrote, instead of internet summaries.
ReplyDeleteBut reading what he wrote instead of what other people say about him hurts my negative view of him! Even worse, reading what he wrote may cause you to understand him, possibly even sympathize with him! We can't have that!!!!1
DeleteWe cant all cast the first stone...
DeleteAnon @ 10:13 asks, Why all the venom?
ReplyDeleteI have never heard Jordan Peterson speak nor have I read his works But I have read a lot of different opinions about him from many people.
They all agree that he is educated, insightful and articulate.
The venom redults from the general response to them possessed of intelligence. A personalized affront, feelings of doubt, self-loathing are responses of many people to the cerebral. A profound projectionism forms their opinions of him who speaks with thought and clarity.
Look at the opinions about Thomas Sowell, as example. They hate not so much for his political leanings, but because he is articulate and intelligent and does articulate serious thought. The dismissals of Sowell because of his ideaology is but a cover. One cannot say they dislike another because he is intelligent so they say it is due to his leanings. There is a wider understanding which is more allowable and familiar. But it is a deceit; the truth is that he is smarter in thought, speech, and ideas. Therefore to be despised. OMG, he voices an opinion. The chutzpah, who does he think he is!
Likwise the negativity about Peterson.
Peterson is a perfect example of the saying "You know you are over the target when the flak is heaviest." It's quite funny when the hive-mind bot swarm crawls out from under it's collective rock at just the mention of him.
ReplyDeleteLucky me. I have no idea who he is.
