The long awaited sequel to 12 RULES FOR LIFE, which has sold over 5 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 readers and resonated powerfully around the world.
Now in this much anticipated 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 twelve new principles to guide readers towards a courageous, truthful and meaningful life.
Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life Reviews

Den kom sliten och riktigt risig, sidorna är av så dålig kvalitet att man ser 3 sidor igenom. Omslaget påminner om fnasig, tunn kartong! Den vita boken till höger är föregångaren, det var samma kvalitet och standard jag förväntade mig men tyvärr blev jag riktigt besviken.

I'm so excited that JBP is well again and back with excellent advice. I particularly like rule 11 on not letting resentment and anger get the best of you, but all of it seems very useful.My only complaint, and nothing to do with the book itself, is the shabby and torn condition it arrived in. delivery quality seems to be getting much worse these days, particularly for books. Maybe someone in the warehouse doesn't like the popularity of JBP's books?

I've just been delivered the book, opened it and stumbled upon this: "To my wife, Tammy, whom I have loved deeply for fifty years, and who is admirable, IN MY ESTIMATION, in all regards, and beyond all reason."This single paragraph captures the essence of Mr. Peterson's personality and work, a man capable of empathy than his "haters" would like to admit, a man who is precise in his speech, who chooses his words carefuly and who puts reason even into a praise to his wife!Reading about the book's chapters it seems that this is "another self help book that teaches the OBVIOUS", as JBP's critics have called "12 Rules for Life", but if "the obvious" would've been easily achievable, Mr. Peterson would not hold lectures all over the world explaining it, produce much content than one can follow and now write a second book about "the obvious".Therefore, I'm grateful for Mr. Peterson's effort, and not only for writing this book, but for everything that he does in helping people straightening their lives.

It's an honor and a privilege to be able to read yet another one of this man's books. I have never been the biggest fan of self help books, so I approached the first 12 Rules book with caution. It was so much than what I expected. His 2nd book is no different.Dr. Peterson weaves together aspects of religion, psychology, mythology, psychoanalytical theories, philosophy and many other areas into a book with simple, and at the same time complex rules to help each person become the best version of themselves they can possibly be. It seems to me like the things Dr. Peterson has to say in his works are things that every person deserves to hear, but never does.While uninformed faux critics of Dr. Peterson and his work, who base their opinions of him on the most recent HuffPost or Vox article exist in multitudes, one should not let these people dissuade them from reading what is one of the most remarkable books in recent years.

I have a deep love of evolutionary biology as a psychologist and this book asks many of the vital questions we need to ask in today's society. Similarly, it's references to Piaget and Jung etc are very accurate to the works and intentions of those great minds. The integration of mythology and religion speaks to the ancient narrations of culture and what faith is.In summary:Wonderfully written and the answer to many of the pathologies in today's society. I have a deep love for the prequel and the new book is great also.
