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.
