Unique and Inspiring.

Not the easiest of listens, you have to concentrate, but the book is stuffed, I would say, with deep knowledge, insight and wisdom into many different and interesting aspects of how we came to operate as we do in this world, as only Peterson does it. Helps that it is read by the author. Overall it feels like an important book, and I would recommend it to anyone who is prepared to take the time, and remain open-minded to new ways of appreciating old stories and ideas. Excellent.

fascinating, convincing and cohesive

Peterson writes from a place of personal confusion to personal enlightenment. A tour de force.

Eye-opening and hard hitting points for the student of Life

The only negative feedback backfires on me, because I need to read/listen to the book several times - not cause the book is to dense, but I obviously am 😂

Interesting but hard to follow and intense

I think this is one of those books that you have to come back to in life as there's some much to take in , I must say what I wouldn't do for that man's vocabulary I spent a lot of time with the dictionary so far great non the less

Many answers to the problems of life are presented hear

This book is life changing in its scope and spiritual depth. It could potentially change humanity for the better. As someone who was somewhat lost on the path of faith it has refreshed and refocused ideas in a new light. To atheists it should be of particular interest. Any one who cares about how to avoid malevolence and find meaning in there life should read this book. Thank your Jordan for this book and the lessons within it.

Insightful to the point of prophetic

As an amateur philosopher, I have had occasion to read Nietzsche and Kirkegaard, and have long pondered the problem of value, and the problem of evil. For all my study, I have never come across quite so comprehensive a response to these problems, as I found in this book (also nicely summarized in chapters 8, 9 and 10 of Petersons new book). Though his answer is not definitive, it is thorough and authoritative, covering areas of study as diverse as clinical psychology, folk wisdom, analytical and continental philosophy, dream analysis, neuropsychology, anthropology, and of course religion. It took me nearly two months to finish this book, and it was well worth the slog. I have a dramatically deeper appreciation for the mytho-poetic view of life, an improved awareness of the significance of symbolic interpretation of phenomenal experience, and even a new way to look at Jamesian Pragmatism. If Catholic priests and lay-teachers were as adept at explaining the significance of Catholic doctrine and myth, as Peterson is of explication of the Augustinian view, I might still be a Catholic (albeit, agnostic). If you can summon the will to read this book, please do yourself and the world a favor, and do it.
