This book gets off to a strong start, picking up right where the first left off. Dr Peterson draws on multiple sources to support his views, including mythology and Christianity, as well as his book maps of meaning and his counseling and psychology, which adds additional credence to his rules for life. These are well worth reading through even if you disagree with them. I felt that the book suffers towards the middle of it, and that some of the rules were bordering on restatement of his previous book (eg, Rules 2 & 7 in book 2 could falll under the umbrella of Rule 4 in book 1), or were poorly discussed (Rule 8 and Rule 12 in Book 2 come to mind as having the weakest supporting discussion). Because of this weakness, its super obvious that book 2 was meant to capitalize on the success of its predecessor, to which Dr Peterson should wildly succeed. Its worth noting that more rules make for a more arduous life, but at least these aren’t compulsory (just highly recommended). Do take the time to explore Dr Peterson’s podcast and/or youtube channel. He has incredibly fascinating insight in humanity which is missing from our culture.

It didn’t hit me the way the first book did. The first book changed my life and I’ve since become an avid viewer of Dr. Peterson’s n YouTube. Much of the content in this second book of his can be found in his lectures. I enjoyed reading this, but there wasn’t much that was new here for me.

This just happened to be exactly what I needed... this book is great for anyone looking to better themselves, but more importantly, how to best deal with the downside to too much order, from learning how to work on your relationships, to finding beauty again in life.

This is an amazing book. Was not aware of this guy until I read a sample of the book and bought it. I just finished chpater 6 and find the insights and thoguhts of Peterson very helpful.

Ista dolarska filozofija trgovine kot prva, a nekako še bolj neumna. Tu je težava. Peterson bo podal neko pravilo, napisal približno sto strani velikih besed, medtem ko bo nekako rekel nič, speril in ponovil še enajstkrat. Ne. PONAVLJAM, DA NE TRAŽITE DENARJA NA TEJ GOSPODINJSKO MESO. Če ste kristjan, vam priporočam dela svetega Avguština ali spise Martina Lutherja. O krščanstvu je napisanih na milijone knjig, večino pa jih lahko brezplačno najdete na internetu. Če vas filozofija zanima, preberite dobesedno še kaj drugega. Iskreno, zavitek za sladkarije je bolj zanimiv in razgledan kot Petersonov drek.
