it was ok

Two stars as since becoming a celebrity I hope less people get destroyed in his clinic so that’s the positive effect of the book.

This guy talks about how to make order into chaos but he is the very definition of chaos. It’s just rambling and rambling about anything and nothing at all. It might work for someone who is easily fooled by slogans and appeals to “stand up and say no� but that’s about it.

I started this about a year ago and left it aside at about rule 5. In the meantime read Gabor Maté’s latest book The myth of normal. This latter book should be compulsory reading for the author of this gibberish. His stories at rule 12 might get some answers.

Kevin Honestly I find this book more dangerous because it is so cleverly marketed for the general public, even devoted liberals can read it and not find it too conservative.

This positions Peterson as well within the mainstream spectrum of debate, while this book is perfect for obscuring the capitalist roots of "chaos" and slowly opening the door to more vulgar reactionary ideas for the wider public.
