"Currently the most influential thought leader in the Western world." (New York Times)
With his international bestseller 12 Rules for Life, Professor Jordan B. Peterson, a psychologist and celebrated professor at Harvard University, helped millions of people bring order to the chaos of their lives. In Beyond Order, he focuses on the danger of too much structure. He provides twelve more life-saving principles that help resist our eternal desire to order the world. Because an excess of order inevitably takes its toll: it petrifies us into submission.
Because too much security is just as dangerous as an excess of chaos, which threatens us with instability and fear. Instead, we should rely on our instincts to find meaning and purpose, even - and especially - when we feel powerless. Beyond Order is a call to balance the two fundamental principles of reality - chaos and order - and to courageously tread the narrow path that separates them.
