Jordan Peterson: Beyond Order,

12 More Rules for Life:

Rules 1-6

EPISODE 130

Beyond Order, by Jordan Peterson is presented as a counterweight to 12 Rules for Life (buy on Amazon), offering a dozen new rules organized around the idea that as well as fighting the chaos that constantly threatens to engulf our lives, the book, Peterson writes, is an attempt to explain “how the dangers of too much security and control might be profitably avoided”.

The prescription includes: assume responsibility for your situation, dig deep to discover your capacity for self-discipline, and face life’s inevitable awfulness as unflinchingly as you can.

The main difference is a less individualistic approach, with more focus on friendship, marriage, and parenting, as if Peterson’s trials had underscored for him the degree to which we can only make it through life together.
