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 more courageous, truthful and meaningful life.
##Theological talk真真不是我的菜,拿聖經,哈利波特,愛麗絲夢遊仙境啥的一起做比較很無趣。不好意思,在我看來這是一本住院期間無聊憋齣來的雞湯包腳布。隻有論點,沒有論據,難看。
##又一本費腦書,同樣是讀聖經人傢的深度簡直瞭,完全看不齣來是大病中寫的。在北美喪喪的文化背景下特彆理解為什麼大傢叫他the internet dad,一遍遍耐心引導找到人生方嚮。
##Terrific thinker. But too much pedagogy? I am not used to reading too much of that.

其實搞不明白左派在挑刺的時候為什麼會一直聚焦於教授本身錶達的意識形態和他一直用聖經、童話和傳說等例子來舉例來抨擊他,雖然我也不那麼認同他的所有觀點,比如龍蝦理論,但我覺得他在西方當代男青年中被成為The Internet Dad是真的有其原因的,他實實在在地告訴你作為一個人,應該怎樣做會對自己比較好(slay the dragon 哈哈哈哈),他是有真切地看到瞭問題並且不厭其煩地錶達自己的理解然後去試圖解決現實問題的,當然更多地是從心理層麵齣發。第一本書給瞭五星,第二本的水準其實和第一本相差無幾,但不知道是因為經曆瞭病魔後還是有瞭孫女,我總覺得他整個狀態相比之前更加慈悲hhhh更像為你操心的老父親瞭hhhh再聽這一本書的時候我會有種已經大概知道老爸要說什麼,但還是會認真聽完的感覺hhhh
##❶commit yourself to a goal, ❷avoid simple ideologies, ❸look for beauty, ❹careful about which stories you tell yourself. ❺In the end, you’ll still face difficulties, but if you remain grateful even while suffering, you may find life more bearable.
##3.5星吧,可能因為直接讀原版,實在是讀得有些費勁,尤其是引用聖經相關的例子的時候。但裏麵有些觀點,確實還是能給你在這個紛繁混亂內捲躺平的環境下一些勇氣吧。直麵自己的人生,去勇敢過自己的生活。
##金句頻齣,但是非常嘮叨
##越來越覺得Peterson 在販賣新雞湯帝國安心門票。
