Publisher's summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

The highly anticipated sequel to 12 Rules for Life, which has sold over five million copies around the world.

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 people and resonated powerfully around the world.

Now in this 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.

Even better than part 1

Love it you see more of Jordan as psychologist in this books and I think is great.

Good follow to the first book

Found this as inspirational as the first one. Peterson is a strong thinker and influencer.

More of the same?

12 rules for life was a masterpiece. This was a poor attempt at a sequel. Similar to how Yoval Harai tried to follow up Sapiens with 21 lessons and the result was a flop

JP does it again

Remarkably even while functioning at below optimal Jeordan Peterson still manages to deliver clear, concise and in-depth breakdown of phycological wisdom in a fashion akin to the legend himself. I would definitely recommend.

Dr. Peterson does it again

A good book for those looking for advice on how to live a better life.

Most essential book of this millennium

Jordan B. Peterson at his best:

Accessible, forward thinking, constructively argumentative, compassionate yet disciplined, while still encouragingly supportive and stern where need be;

Art of awareness and acceptance of Life in realistic terms, is well-balanced viewed in context of “opportunities” and perspective presented from every day life.

Well worth the listen or read.

Thank you Dr. Peterson, this book really helped!

Better than the first book!

Some sections of the book are just unfathomable, as it gives you a true link with the thousands of years of civilisation and development, and connects you to the ghosts of the past and the spirits of the future. It made me feel and realise a lot of things that I can barely express.

And no, this is no woo woo. The book is actually highly scientific, with accurate references and historical accounts, philosophical and rational, to the extent that is reasonable for such a piece of work. It is a classic in the making.

better than 12 rules for life

if the previous book was called 12 rules, this should be called 12 principles. It has more nuance, it says mainly that you have to apply the spirit of the law, not the letter. And only those who integrated the spirit of the law can broke the letter

this was the missing part...

usefull incite into life of a great man...and usefull rules tha were missing from the first book

Engaging

Never dissapoints, always invoking deep thought to the "mundane".
Makes one take their own behaviors, ideas, and perceptions more seriously or atleast unravels them.
Thank you
