About this ebook

The companion volume to 12 Rules for Life offers further guidance on the perilous path of modern life. 
 
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.
 
While chaos, in excess, threatens us with instability and anxiety, unchecked order can petrify us into submission. Beyond Order provides a call to balance these two fundamental principles of reality itself, and guides us along the straight and narrow path that divides them.
 

 

Ratings and reviews

Amazing! So far an amazing book! I just finished 12 rules for life again yesterday before this release. That book saved me especially over the last year. Buy this book and the first one. Don't fall in the trap that the media tries to set about the quality of character of Jordan Peterson. He only wants what's best for everyone in the world. Truly a light in the darkness.

fantastic read! helpful, insightful, meaningful, practical and important. I look at Dr. Peterson as the internets most loved father figure... wise, caring, disciplined and deeply needed in a world drowning in useless garbage and vitriol. loved Rule 5?... "opportunity lurks where responsibility has been abdicated". Golden rule for all of life's opportunities and the corresponding responsibilities that come with it

Dr. Peterson has been a tremendously positive influence and a breath of fresh air over the last few years. I'm a couple of hours into this audio book and I can already tell I will not be disappointed. Thank you, Dr. Peterson. You are in my prayers. I hope the best for you and your family.
