Jordan B. Peterson – författare

Vad behöver alla i den moderna världen veta?

Psykologen Jordan B. Peterson har influerat miljontals människor över hela världen med sina utmanande och originella tankar om de största frågorna och han har gjort det genom att prata om ämnen från Bibeln till romantik till biologi. I förändringens och polariseringens tidevarv har hans uppriktiga budskap om värdet av individens ansvar blivit ett globalt fenomen.

I 12 livsregler ger sig Peterson i kast med ämnen som barnuppfostran, livsåskådning, ideologi, moral, andlighet och mänskligt lidande. Sökandet efter världens samlade kunskap mynnar ut i 12 praktiska, djärva och djupsinniga livsregler som skakar om vår uppfattning om vetenskap, tro, kultur och den mänskliga naturen.

I 12 Livsregler inspirerade psykologiprofessorn Jordan B. Peterson miljontals människor världen över att skapa ordning i en kaotisk tillvaro. I denna djärva uppföljare levererar Peterson tolv nya oumbärliga regler för att nå ännu längre, bortom ordningen.

I en tid där människan försöker kontrollera varje aspekt av livet, från sociala strukturer till vårt emotionella liv, höjer Peterson ett varningens finger. Istället lär han oss att lita på vår instinkt för att finna mening i tillvaron, även, och kanske i synnerhet, när vi känner oss som mest maktlösa.

Medan en tillvaro i kaos kan skapa osäkerhet och ångest kan överdriven ordning driva oss till undergivenhet. Bortom ordning är ett stridsrop för att skapa balans mellan dessa två storheter, ordning och kaos, och guidar oss längs den tunna linje som skiljer dem åt.

Jordan B. Peterson talar om de attityder som hjälper oss att hitta den rätta vägen. Det är inte en politiskt korrekt eller allmänt vedertagen väg, men den är högst konkret och samtidigt upphöjd: Det finns en mening med det liv du lever. Wall Street Journal

The revolutionary new offering from Jordan B. Peterson, renowned psychologist and author of the global bestseller 12 Rules for Life

In We Who Wrestle with God, Jordan Peterson guides us through the ancient, foundational stories of the Western world, analyzing the Biblical accounts of rebellion, sacrifice, suffering and triumph that stabilize, inspire and unite us, culturally and psychologically. Adam and Eve and the eternal fall of mankind; the resentful and ultimately murderous war of Cain and Abel; the cataclysmic flood of Noah, the spectacular collapse of the Tower of Babel; Abraham's terrible adventure, and the epic of Moses and the Israelites: What could such stories possibly mean? What force wrote and assembled them, over the long centuries? How did they bring our spirits and the world together, and point us in the same direction? It is time for us to understand such things, scientifically and spiritually; to become conscious of the structure of our souls and our societies - to see ourselves and others as if for the first time. Join Elijah as he discovers the Voice of God in the dictates of his own conscience, and Jonah, confronting hell itself, in the belly of the whale, because he failed to listen and act. Set yourself straight in intent, aim and purpose, as you begin to more deeply understand the structure of your society and your soul. Journey with Jordan Peterson through the greatest stories ever told. Dare to wrestle with God.

The companion volume to 12 Rules for Life offers further guidance on the perilous path of modern life. 

In 12 Rules for Life, clinical psychologist and celebrated professor at Harvard and the University of Toronto Dr. Jordan B. Peterson helped millions of readers impose order on the chaos of their lives. Now, in this bold sequel, Peterson delivers twelve more lifesaving principles for resisting the exhausting toll that our desire to order the world inevitably takes.

In a time when the human will increasingly imposes itself over every sphere of life-from our social structures to our emotional states-Peterson warns that too much security is dangerous. What's more, he offers strategies for overcoming the cultural, scientific, and psychological forces causing us to tend toward tyranny, and teaches us how to rely instead on our instinct to find meaning and purpose, even-and especially-when we find ourselves powerless. While chaos, in excess, threatens us with instability and anxiety, unchecked order can petrify us into submission. Beyond Order provides a call to balance these two fundamental principles of reality itself, and guides us along the straight and narrow path that divides them.
