Critics Review
The advice in Beyond Order reflects some new and painful awareness of mortality. But it was always Peterson’s intimate, self-revealing style that made his life advice so powerful, so energising, and so hard to reduce to politics * Telegraph *A sui generis kind of personal trainer for the soul…. It’s a good thing that there’s space on the self-help shelves for a book as bracingly pessimistic as this one… Peterson offers an invaluable reminder that we’re finite and inherently imperfect – Oliver Burkeman * Guardian (Book of the Week) *Life-changingly inspirational * The Times *Full of sensible, humane advice, and shows he is still very much on top… The book is a validation of his own role; as he observes, being able to articulate what many people instinctively feel but can’t articulate is a valuable role for a public intellectual – Melanie McDonagh * Evening Standard *In telling us that life is suffering (as all major religions do) and that the goal is to find meaning rather than happiness, he does have something to say. … wisdom combined with good advice. Peterson is at his best when telling stories of his clinical practice - he comes across as an empathetic non-judgmental listener – Suzanne Moore * Telegraph *More trenchant life advice from the bestselling author of 12 Rules for Life… bound to be a bestseller * The Times *Reliably thought-provoking, often engrossing … Peterson has a sharp eye for the vagaries of human nature, and he can be a compelling storyteller, especially when narrating his own experiences and those he has observed from life. There is a fair amount of wisdom in Beyond Order, of the kind that used to be called common sense – Jenny McCartney * UnHerd *Part quest, part adventure, part lecture and part polemic… There’s masses of passion, masses of wisdom and a deep, deep yearning for us all to seek the beauty, truth and meaning Peterson has sometimes glimpsed and is desperate for us to find. He has had tens of thousands of letters from people who say he has helped them to find it. How many writers can say they have done that? – Christina Patterson * Sunday Times *[Peterson is] enlightening as a clinical psychologist… Peterson’s rules are an attempt to locate people within society, to acknowledge the systems and structures that have long existed and, instead of seeking to tear them down, encourage his readers to find their most functional position within them – Andrew Anthony * Observer *Beyond Order showcases Peterson’s extraordinary gift for storytelling, as well as for extrapolating complex psychological themes and deriving lessons and meaning from them in ways lay readers can understand… A delight to read… Peterson is a world class communicator… Beyond Order is a compelling and ultimately life-affirming read for anyone willing to challenge their own ideas and face up to the untapped potential in their lives – Greg Jameson * Entertainment Focus *
