But he is genuinely expressing himself, and the belief that we should all try to be better. I find it laughable that a Harvard professor/psychologist has been embraced by the "alt-right" when even a moderately close reading of this text repudiates all that they stand for. Peterson's deft weaving of theology, mythology, and just overall cogent arguments and viewpoints made me really respect and open up my mind to things I never fully thought about. This is not a book you can listen to at 2x speed on Audible and hope to retain anything, imo. I had to utilize my background in philosophy and religion to go beyond the surface of what the author was trying to say. ![]() I agree with the critical review that stated you have to be intellectually equipped to really get the most out of this. ![]() I had to re-read chapters slowly to fully condense my thoughts. ![]() I support the women's right movement, equal pay, and I find the Republican party of today rather distasteful for the anti-science movement they espouse. I am a liberal, Asian, left leaning moderate with a background in philosophy, theology and film studies. (I used supposed because I don't think he actually claims to have one). I am not Jordan Peterson's "supposed" target audience. I must have existed in a vacuum, as I merely picked this book up as it was given as an "Amazon Recommends."Ĭurious about the title, I purchased on impulse. ![]() I knew nothing of Jordan Peterson, or any of his ideology before reading this book.
