Critics Review

“Myth, Meaning, and Antifragile Individualism acts as a helpful aid… [The] book is an excellent starting place for anyone who wants to understand Peterson better, partly because Champagne makes a valiant effort to understand Peterson and partly because of its breadth and clarity.” – Arizona State University * Reason Papers *“A thorough academic discussion of Jordan Peterson’s work has been conspicuously absent—until now… Myth, Meaning, and Antifragile Individualism, by Marc Champagne, is written in a well-crafted, straightforward style accessible to the informed layperson… The book is an essential contribution to anyone who wants to better understand Peterson’s ideas and scrutinize them in a rational context.” – Onar Am * Journal of Ayn Rand Studies *
