Story
What does everyone in the modern world need to know? Renowned psychologist Jordan B. 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. Humorous, surprising, and informative, Dr. 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.

Story
From the author of 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos comes a provocative hypothesis that explores the connection between what modern neuropsychology tells us about the brain and what rituals, myths, and religious stories have long narrated. A cutting-edge work that brings together neuropsychology, cognitive science, and Freudian and Jungian approaches to mythology and narrative, Maps of Meaning presents a rich theory that makes the wisdom and meaning of myth accessible to the critical modern mind.

Cameron Hanes discovered his true passion for bowhunting when he was twenty. Inspired by the physical challenges of stalking elk in the Oregon wilderness—traversing mountainous terrain, braving erratic weather, and evading his quarry’s even more dangerous predators—he began an ever-evolving journey of self-improvement. To become the best bowhunter of wild elk, to the caliber he believed he could be, Cam realized he would need more than archery skills.

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

According to the establishment media, the intelligentsia, and our political chattering class, the greatest threat to American freedom lies in right-wing authoritarianism. We’ve heard that some 75 million Americans who voted for Donald Trump represent the rise of American fascism; that conservatives have allowed authoritarianism to bloom in their midst, creating a grave danger for the republic.

Publisher's Summary
The highly anticipated sequel to the global best seller 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 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 12 new principles to guide listeners 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)
“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

More life changing advice.
As my particular life has been more chaotic than calm, I am already experienced with much chaos. Regardless, I could have been more efficient in my reactions to chaos and this book helped me see that. Some notes I took while reading.
Rule 1
We need to talk about the past to separate trivial overblown thoughts from experiences that are important
We need to talk about the present to know where we are , where are going and why we are going there. Helps regulate effiency
Institutions must exist to solve problems in order for life to continue
No one unwilling to be a beginner can learn
If the people who are best at solving a problem rise to the top, it is not power, it is authority that properly accompanies ability
Rule 2
Follow the rules, until those rules prevent you from becoming a higher ideal of those rules
““But I say to you who are willing to hear: Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who mistreat you. If someone slaps you on the cheek, offer the other one as well. If someone takes your coat, don’t withhold your shirt either. Give to everyone who asks and don’t demand your things back from those who take them. Treat people in the same way that you want them to treat you.”
Luke 6:27-31 CEB
Only change course in career if what you’re considering seems more challenging and rewarding.
Rule 4
People get more upset by the things they didn’t do then with the errors they made while actively navigating the world
Describing hell: all of the suffering of life with none of the meaning
Voluntary confrontation with a feared hated or despised obstacle is curative. We become stronger by facing what impedes our necessary progress
Rule 5
Telling someone to not say a certain word is insensitive to people who’s family participated in the Second World War or people who come from countries where totalitarian regimes killed people in the name of equality. Furthermore telling someone to not use a certain word is to tell them to not be true to themselves. This demotivates people when they must censor their person. Instead, tell them how it makes you feel when you use those words around them and let them decide whether to take this into account. If they were truly concerned about the wellbeing of their coworkers and whether their presence energizes your spirit to work towards your common goal then they would adjust their behaviour. To issue a blanket ban on words is to show that you don’t care whether your coworkers are energized to work hard towards your common goal.
Rule 9
I was seen as an outcast in elementary and high school. I believe it was because I displayed preferable traits to teachers and this made other kids uncomfortable and unsafe so they pressured each other to not involve themselves with me. I believe this is happening again at my place of work. My abilities highlight their deficiencies. They get defensive. I am falling into past behaviour of trying to modify myself to their expectations. I shouldn’t do that because it’s not about me. I need to fully utilize my ability.

Should’ve tried something new
Decent listen, nothing really new or novel I would say. Unfortunately comes off in large part like a self help book. I wish he didn’t do a follow up and just wish he took a chance on something completely different.
Certainly hope he doesn’t try for another rules book because he has a total of 48.
Worth a listen for fans perhaps but passable and I’d just recommend the original 12 Rules For Life.

Another excellent book!!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I may have even liked it more than the first 12 rules, which was excellent as well. Perhaps more of the rules spoke to me at this point of my life, as it brought much clarity to me through deep thought and introspection. I am amazed by what Dr. Peterson has been able to accomplish in this book while up against the many struggles he's been through the last few years.

Thanks Jordan!
Pre-ordered this book and will be purchasing the hard copy as well.
My gripe with JBP is that he should really stay in his domain of psychology, instead of philosophy.

Best book you will read this year
I remember listening to the extreme leftist CBC Radio when Jordan's last book was released. The far left wing hosts were trying to mock the book, especially the lobster metaphor. Mostly the guy was angry at how many copies 12 Rules for Life sold compared his own modest book. I ended up buying 12 Rules for Life, as well as, Maps of Meaning and really enjoyed them.
This book is even better!!
If you are impressed by how quick Jordan thinks on his feet against hateful interviewers and other degenerates, you'll really love his written word. Each chapter is jam packed with thought provoking metaphors on religious figures, growing as a person and overcoming life's obstacles; from childhood on.
One of the things that captivated me was by accident. I just finished reading 'God is Not Great' and felt Hitchens trivialized and left much unanswered. By coincidence, 12 More Rules for Life, covered some things, particularly some things about Nietzsche, and provided many answers and expiated on a range of themes that I was searching for.
Chapter 6 was my favourite and seemed to be where the magic really heated up.
Get this book. You will not regret it. This is one the those books that must be read and re-read to fully digest all its greatness

Peterson is a genius analyzing the human condition
This is necessary reading even if you haven't read anything by this psychological genius. He has a grasp of the human condition that is unparalleled and has the gift of communicating it easily. I honestly believe that his intent is to help humanity and nothing else.

Why so many biblical references?
Overall I quite enjoyed it, but it felt at times as though Jordan Peterson as found God and wants us all to know.

neo-joseph campbell writes another self-help book
peterson is talented at framing useful pieces of advice into engaging narratives.
but he errors in the many areas where he is ignorant and has developed blind-spots.
he errors economically, and does so often as economics is a study of human action and this overlaps frequently with the territory on which he treads. and where he does not error economically he does a poor job at reinventing a wheel, stumbling onto shadows of some of the conclusions of wise economists throughout time that he has failed to read where such conclusions happen to overlap with his preconceptions.
he errors politically, reducing politics to a binary between the creative instincts motivating the march towards the 'progress' if the tyrant's of tomorrow and the stagnation of the traditionalists who wish to slow the march and keep the plebs within the domain of the tyrant's of today. he does so because of his delusions that a compromise between these forces is his inept brand of radical centrism. for him to expend the effort of informing himself about the world outside the fiction of the binary of the status quo, would be to admit that his conceptions and those of his IDW friends could be grotesquely wrong.
and most notably he errors to still believe in the efficacy of his very field. perhaps his love of metaphors is why he hasn't seen the dangers in taking the metaphor of mental illness literally. while he has likely given his patients many good pieces of advice throughout the years, as he has done so for his readers, he did so and does so dispite the nature of his field. even after the neurological drugs that his colleagues recommend he take nearly cost him his life, he still doesn't grasp the source of the negative externalities of his profession.

just as good, if not better than the first.
excellent. perfect follow up, I hope there is a third one. put your public opinion of Petersen away, if you happen to have a negative one. and just listen. it's really true and excellent advice. he's also an excellent narrator.
