What does everyone in the modern world need to know?

Renowned psychologist Jordan B. Peterson's answer to this most difficult of questions uniquely combines the hard-won truths of ancient tradition with the stunning revelations of cutting-edge scientific research.


Humorous, surprising and informative, Dr. Peterson tells us why skateboarding boys and girls must be left alone, what terrible fate awaits those who criticize too easily, and why you should always pet a cat when you meet one on the street.

What does the nervous system of the lowly lobster have to tell us about standing up straight (with our shoulders back) and about success in life? Why did ancient Egyptians worship the capacity to pay careful attention as the highest of gods? What dreadful paths do people tread when they become resentful, arrogant and vengeful?

Dr. Peterson journeys broadly, discussing discipline, freedom, adventure and responsibility, distilling the world's wisdom into 12 practical and profound rules for life. 12 Rules for Life shatters the modern commonplaces of science, faith and human nature, while transforming and ennobling the mind and spirit of its readers.

Quote from ZoS6660 :
I can't speak to the anti-science stuff but some of the political things he's said are really weird. Like he stated something like "Women joined the workforce and now the workplace has completely deteriorated for the last 40 years" and that "Women shouldn't be allowed to wear makeup in the workplace"
That is defiantly not what he said....

Quote from chillyvilly :
Jp: *disregards the existence of power structures and is casually dismissive of everyone whose lived experiences don't exactly mirror his own, and then claims it's all just "science"*

Fans: "haters need to chill and worry about themselves!"

There. Saved you $2.99
He doesn't dismiss power structures. He goes to great lengths to describe how/why he believes humans have biological capability to interact in complicated social hierarchies.

He makes the claim that the primary hierarchy is (and should be) one of competence, not one of power.

Quote from ZiLch :
Well, not weird when like 40% of the population believes that s*** as you can see here. It's a scary world out there. So much hate and bigotry, and Peterson's a part of that. Look at his supporters here, it's like a cult.

$2.99 is a bit too much for me to spend. I'd rather just get it on an ebook forum and give it to people I don't like so they can ruin their lives.

Every psychologists least favorite psychologist. Any time he ventures outside of basic psychology his far right ideology becomes clear. As a public intellectual he's rather ignorant and dismissive of anyone with who he disagrees. What's worse is he claims to be classically liberal and somewhat progressive but he espouses far right unscientific nonsense

Based on evidence. There are several cultures that exist and have existed in the past with more than two genders. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_gender

This doesn't support your conclusion. Here, let me summarize what you said to help out:
'There are not just two genders'
'What makes you say that?'
'Evidence'
Some cultures thought there were more than two.'

This might help: when you have to be so vague as to cite the term 'evidence' and not any evidence, your argument is fallacious.

Quote from LordDarksbane :
Climate change for instance. Ancient depictions of DNA in artwork. Here is a good discussion. https://medium.com/the-future-is-...db7d58f05f
Can you explain what scientific measurements he ignores or discounts? Or do you propose that 'anti-science' means 'doesn't agree with the same scientists' conclusions as I do'?

Please be more tolerant of those who disagree with you. Name calling and categorization don't help anybody.

Glad you got the joke. Why anyone would take life advice from someone who needed benzos to get through life is beyond me
