About this audiobook

The companion volume to 12 Rules for Life offers further guidance on the perilous path of modern life. 
 
In 12 Rules for Life, clinical psychologist and celebrated professor at Harvard and the University of Toronto Dr. Jordan B. Peterson helped millions of readers impose order on the chaos of their lives. Now, in this bold sequel, Peterson delivers twelve more lifesaving principles for resisting the exhausting toll that our desire to order the world inevitably takes.
 
In a time when the human will increasingly imposes itself over every sphere of life—from our social structures to our emotional states—Peterson warns that too much security is dangerous. What’s more, he offers strategies for overcoming the cultural, scientific, and psychological forces causing us to tend toward tyranny, and teaches us how to rely instead on our instinct to find meaning and purpose, even—and especially—when we find ourselves powerless.
 
While chaos, in excess, threatens us with instability and anxiety, unchecked order can petrify us into submission. Beyond Order provides a call to balance these two fundamental principles of reality itself, and guides us along the straight and narrow path that divides them.

I found it very difficult to understand. It seems the most important information is already present in 12 rules of life, but this book was an unfortunate attempt to squeeze more meaning. The value of this book is very little and vague. I wish author have more understanding when he needs to "stop" speculation on the same topic.

This was a good listen but I have to say I'm disappointed overall. if you're a fan of the JP podcast you've already heard about 75% of this book. Pinocchio, dragons, the Old Testament, writing out your past...I feel like I've already read this book before listening to it.

Amazing! So far an amazing book and it's read by the most amazing man. I just finished 12 rules for life again yesterday before this release. That book saved me especially over the last year. Buy this book and the first one. Don't fall in the trap that the media tries to set about the quality of character of Jordan Peterson. He only wants what's best for everyone in the world. Truly a light in the darkness.
