Beyond Order

12 More Rules for Life

De: Jordan B. Peterson

Narrado por: Jordan B. Peterson

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“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

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

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.

Truth Shall Set You Free

So relevant and useful in these times. Perhaps in all times.

Another knock out of the park by Dr. Jordan Peterson

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.

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.
