Critic reviews

Genuinely extraordinary... Unmatched by any other modern thinker ... A prophet for our times (Dominic Sandbrook)

The most influential public intellectual in the Western world right now

Everyone must read 12 Rules For Life... The most enlightening book I have read in ages. Google him if you like, if it makes you feel better. It will, by the way. But get the book, that is the most important thing. And then read it. And then pass it on to a friend (Chris Evans)

In a different intellectual league... Peterson can take the most difficult ideas and make them entertaining. This may be why his YouTube videos have had 35m views. He is fast becoming the closest that academia has to a rock star

Charismatic and exceptionally articulate.... Peterson is a new kind of public intellectual, using YouTube to spread ideas infinitely wider than predecessors such as Bertrand Russell or Isaiah Berlin (Amol Rajan)

Anyone who is in a position of leadership would find it very insightful ... Jordan Peterson is a profound writer (Gina Miller)

It is that rare thing: self-help that might actually be helpful

Fascinating ... Peterson is brilliant on many subjects (Bryan Appleyard)

One of the most eclectic and stimulating public intellectuals at large today, fearless and impassioned (Matthew d'Ancona)

Profound, charismatic and serious... One of the most important thinkers to emerge on the world stage for many years (Tim Lott)

Eventually; Reason, Enlightenment Returned.

a good dollop of ethical understanding shared in a real and down to earth way. Jordan who is a clinical psychologist brings and humanely articulates an important message as western society struggles with its many psycho-social problems and virus-like shallow group identity politics and conveniently manipulative political correctness. He is well versed in English and Russian literature and explains the archtypical aspects contained therein and in Western culture. I laughed at many of his personal accounts and almost cried at others.
So many men in western society don't know how to be men anymore and there is a high rate of suicide in this group. He teaches how to be a man, and to be aware of the oedipical parent.

Exceptional

Unbelievably addictive

Took 2 days, couldn't stop.

Highly recommended this book for Dr Petersen's fantastic ability to engage your mind

Listened only during commuting

Worth relistening and reliving it again. Hearing it from the author himself made the experience very personal.
