Story
From the author of 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos comes a provocative hypothesis that explores the connection between what modern neuropsychology tells us about the brain and what rituals, myths, and religious stories have long narrated. A cutting-edge work that brings together neuropsychology, cognitive science, and Freudian and Jungian approaches to mythology and narrative, Maps of Meaning presents a rich theory that makes the wisdom and meaning of myth accessible to the critical modern mind.

A vast canvas of camps, prisons, transit centres and secret police, of informers and spies and interrogators but also of everyday heroism, The Gulag Archipelago is Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's grand masterwork. Based on the testimony of some 200 survivors, and on the recollection of Solzhenitsyn's own 11 years in labour camps and exile, it chronicles the story of those at the heart of the Soviet Union who opposed Stalin, and for whom the key to survival lay not in hope but in despair.

Story
Ordinary Men is the true story of Reserve Police Battalion 101 of the German Order Police, which was responsible for mass shootings as well as round-ups of Jewish people for deportation to Nazi death camps in Poland in 1942. Browning argues that most of the men of RPB 101 were not fanatical Nazis but, rather, ordinary middle-aged, working-class men who committed these atrocities out of a mixture of motives, including the group dynamics of conformity, deference to authority, role adaptation, and the altering of moral norms to justify their actions.

Our mind has a strong tendency to form beliefs to make sense of existence. Human beings cannot help but have beliefs that guide them in their thinking and their actions, but today they live in an increasingly artificial and manipulated world in which beliefs often turn out to be illusions. According to Jason Dyer, "Critical Thinking" is able to conceptualize, apply, analyze, synthesize, and actively and expertly evaluate the information gathered by a precise observation, reasoning, or experience.

Story
From Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States to the New York Times' 1619 project, the modern Left views American history through the lens of competing oppressions, replacing the traditional understanding that all Americans are part of a shared journey toward the perfection of universal ideals. Their attacks on the values that built our nation, from the rights to free speech and self-defense to the importance of marriage and faith communities, are insidious because they replace each of them with nothing beyond an increased reliance on the government.

Have you heard that language is violence and that science is sexist? Have you read that certain people shouldn't practice yoga? Or been told that being obese is healthy, that there is no such thing as biological sex, or that only White people can be racist? Are you confused by these ideas, and do you wonder how they have managed to challenge the logic of Western society? In this probing volume, Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay document the evolution of the dogma that informs these ideas, from its coarse origins in French postmodernism to its refinement within activist academic fields.

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.

Too much religion for me
I enjoyed the first book for the most part as it had some intriguing insights into society, politics, psychology, and anthropology. However, I found this sequel to be more focused towards self-help than its predecessor (which is fine if that is to your taste, though I'm personally not very keen on the genre). Nevertheless, there were some interesting ideas and anecdotes, and I did enjoy listening to much of the book.
My biggest issue with the book, however, was the recurring religious content within it. While I admittedly have a particular aversion to religion, I can nevertheless appreciate the symbolism and storytelling underpinning historical myths. But parts of this book went beyond that scope and acclaimed religion and God and their place in society. I felt this almost undermined the more logically reasoned and scientific parts of the book (of which there were fewer than in its predecessor).
In short, if you enjoyed the first book, I expect you will likely enjoy much of this one too, but be warned it is more self-help oriented and contains more religious content and less political commentary.

Amazing, Life Changing
Just got through the second Rule and even with me having high expectations, this book has not disappointed me. This is a perfect sequel to the previous book and is just as eye-opening and engaging as that was. Jordan is one of the greatest intellectuals of our lifetime and is an absolute privilege to be able to listen/read more of his work. Life has no happy ending, but this book opens your eyes to finding positives and strength in the inevitable chaos of our existence at a personal level. I have nothing but respect for this great man.

You should listen to it and you should read it, preferably at the same time so you can remember those wise words. These are deep, profound and universally applicable wisdom, regardless your ethnicity, age and social background. These help me become a fulfilled human being and they are like a mental foundation that is cemented in my mind.

Wonderful.
You don't have to worshipfully hang by JBP's every word as some do, nor believe him to be evil incarnate as do others. Simply take the man for what he is; earnest, thoughtful, well-informed well-intentioned, and a truly great communicator. Beyond Order. Perhaps beyond polarisation. A wonderful read.

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

Truly motivational and thought provoking
I thoroughly enjoyed the book. The narrative voice switches between storyteller, clinical psychologist and philosophical analyst giving a grounded, realistic and personal interpretation of each rule. I honestly think 'Beyond Order' is a more mature book than the first volume (12 rules for life), something which Dr. Peterson has endeavoured to achieve and in my mind has accomplished. The book resonated greatly with me and I can't seem to stop asking myself questions about my own life, so much so, that I started listening to some of the chapters again in an effort to distill the knowledge even further. I highly recommend for those wondering if they should pick it up where I should mention that the first volume is not a prerequisite, but it is a great addition nonetheless.

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
