摘要
*Jordan Peterson has been a controversial figure since he spoke out against a Canadian government bill concerning gender identity and expression.
*His book tour promoting 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos has met with angry protests and some academics and commentators have rounded on him, questioning his credibility.
*At the same time, Peterson’s public lectures regularly sell out, his YouTube channel has almost two million subscribers and 12 Rules for Life has become a runaway success.
*The book is a sort of manual for a good life, offering a set of principles that help us live up to our potential – to organize our lives in such a way that it makes us less the product of chaos, uncertainty and randomness, and more the result of our design.
*The book’s tenets are decidedly non-political, and might seem rather obvious and simplistic at first glance. But Peterson backs up his rules with reference to philosophy, religion, myth, and psychology. His starting point is that “life is suffering” and striving for happiness is futile – we should be more concerned with leading a meaningful life.
