Passionate and inspiring

The book is an insightful read. Jordan puts across his point of view on the rules and responsibilities which we all must adhere to passionately. His examples are insightful and rooted in psychology. I think he could have used simpler language to convey the same messages but nevertheless he puts his point across clearly and strongly.

A true study of yourself which will surprise you.

I have read hundreds of books and very rarely a book comes which adds something new or makes me think in a novel way. but this book is one of them, it offers a whole new perspective of seeing life. Thank you mr. peterson for this magnificent book, i am indebted.

Loved it and hated it at the same time

Loved it and hated it at the same time
Would really recommend this book as a must read.
the truth stated here seems so clear and loved those logical arguments,
but also hated the multiple instances where there are clear signs of extreme bias towards one point of view,
Be it malicious hatred for socialist, rights activist, feminism, actually anyone who hold the opposing view
Also the Views here are of someone who is truly brave truthful, holding self accountable, but also has comes from a sheltered society along with above average intelligence.

e.g.
Do you believe in God? Was stressed too much
Is it not similar to almost anything related to any belief
Q, do you believe exercising helps lead a healthier life? Yes of course yes
Then the logic goes, if you did believe it, you would be exercising, and you would not be a slob, the whole world would exercise etc etc

I am sure the writer has never seen anyone truly starving or ever personally been in any economical distress
but the thought process all of us have in our minds where we provide a rational for every action is so well depicted here, the best part of the book is reading the rational that above average intelligent people have for their beliefs and actions

The overall idea of the book is you are more powerful than you think, you can choose to change the whole world, but not by activism or asking for rights with placard etc, but by self development and taking responsibility and ownership of life actions by being truthful.
In a quote "Be the change you want to see in the world"

very insightful

An interesting point of view on life and suffering. a different way to look at religion, one that can also be agreed upon by not so religious people.
