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.

Not disappointed. Really enjoyed this listen.

I feel as if Jordan Peterson is misunderstood by many. On the face of it his message seems harsh and perhaps macho but if you take the time to really listen you’ll realise that he’s just trying to make the best of things the way we all should. Many of us do and many of us appreciate a helping hand when it’s offered. Call me naive but I think he cares and I think he’s been wrestling with things for most of his life. Just my opinion but I am, after a lot of reading and listening to lots of different people, a big fan. This is another great book brilliantly narrated

Just buy this book for chapters 11 & 12

If you listen to JP’s podcasts you will find a lot of this book there but there is a lot that isn’t.

More relatable 12 rules

I very much enjoyed this book! As I did 12 rules for life which at times I struggled through the religious narrative - this time round though, though some in there, I related more to the content and find JBP’s way of bringing together old stories into modern perspective outstanding and fascinating. I’d suggest reading 12 rules first, then this. Even though I enjoyed this more it’s only because of individual connection to its dialogue. Only critique would be I wish it concluded with a summary of what had been discussed in depth as I felt the first did end more appropriately. Great work again!

Brilliant fusion of literature & insight in to the human mind to communicate fundamental principles of importance to the human condition.

Everyone who reads and reflects on this book will be richer for it.

Listen & Learn

Once again Jordan Peterson gives us the benefit of his convictions as he pours forth incisive observation, intelligent research information and wisdom garnered from those stories of human culture that still speak so powerfully. Every chapter is worth listening to. That this book was written during the worst experience of his life is simply testimony to the fact he practices what he preaches, and that adds weight to its worthiness. Well done brave JP!
