The highly anticipated sequel to the global bestseller 12 Rules for Life.

In 12 Rules for Life, acclaimed public thinker and clinical psychologist Jordan B. Peterson offered an antidote to the chaos in our lives: eternal truths applied to modern anxieties. His insights have helped millions of readers and resonated powerfully around the world.

Now in his long-awaited sequel, Peterson goes further, showing that part of life's meaning comes from reaching out into the domain beyond what we know, and adapting to an ever-transforming world. While an excess of chaos threatens us with uncertainty, an excess of order leads to a lack of curiosity and creative vitality. Beyond Order therefore calls on us to balance the two fundamental principles of reality--order and chaos--and reveals the profound meaning that can be found on the path that divides them.

In times of instability and suffering, Peterson reminds us that there are sources of strength on which we can all draw: insights borrowed from psychology, philosophy, and humanity's greatest myths and stories. Drawing on the hard-won truths of ancient wisdom, as well as deeply personal lessons from his own life and clinical practice, Peterson offers twelve new principles to guide readers towards a more courageous, truthful, and meaningful life.

What the critics say

Beyond Order is a hybrid of genres. It offers a series of essays on how to live responsibly and productively, but Peterson goes way beyond self-help bromides, drawing on cases from his clinical practice to illuminate errors that people are prone to make and the outcomes they can expect from choosing one course of action over another.” —Book and Film Globe (US)

“[Jordan Peterson] is a serious person and is genuinely engaged in trying to improve the lives of his readers and patients. Much of his advice is both valuable and, occasionally, even beautiful. . . . Peterson’s call to responsibility, to depth, to seriousness, and to fidelity are welcome and powerful.” —Los Angeles Review of Books

PRAISE FOR JORDAN PETERSON

“We live in a time when so many young (and not so young) people feel lost . . . Mr. Peterson talks about the attitudes that will help find the path. It is not a politically correct or officially approved path, but it is an intensely practical and yet heightened one: This life you’re living has meaning.”
—PEGGY NOONAN, Wall Street Journal

“Jordan Peterson is universally revered—and feared—for his incredible intellect and emotional insight.”
—DAVE RUBIN, host of The Rubin Report and author of Don’t Burn This Book

“The Peterson way is a harsh way, but it is an idealistic way—and for millions of young men, it turns out to be the perfect antidote to the cocktail of coddling and accusation in which they are raised.”
—DAVID BROOKS, New York Times

“The world needs Jordan Peterson.”
—DOUGLAS MURRAY, author of The Madness of Crowds

Dr. Peterson provides a desperately candid look into some very fundamental aspects of human psychology and interaction. Very interesting read and a pleasure to support open thought.

A very interesting listen.

I knew a bit about Jordy-P before this purchase was made. The controversy about his views that have been in the news.

Time to listen to another side of all of this.

Most of him comments seem to be based on reason (his reason) and were well communicated.

Really good stuff in here, common sense when you think about it objectively. And useful in life - somewhat being mindful, psychologist style.

While thinking objectively is great there is the need to bring your emotions into thought. That makes it personal

Some concepts I disagree with but understand how he sees them.

"The evidence shows..." statement is a kind of mantra in this book. Evidence points at something that may not always be so. One can always gather more evidence. It is more the evidence at the time. There are always studies refuting studies. What is really the problem? Not sure we got to that.

It is obvious he is religious. Which makes me wonder on the ideology he speaks of, and the ones he follow.

We are all complicated and simple.

This is worth the the time to listen to.

The book is as good, if not better, than the original 12 rules for life.

I loved it. It's always refreshing to listen to his lectures. He also has quite the sense of humour. For any new listeners, I would recommend "12 rules for life" as an introduction.

Excellent
