In 12 Rules for Life, acclaimed public thinker and clinical psychologist Jordan B. Peterson offered an antidote to the chaos in our lives: eternal truths applied to modern anxieties. His insights have helped millions of readers and resonated powerfully around the world.

Now in this much-anticipated sequel, Peterson goes further, showing that part of life’s meaning comes from reaching out into the domain beyond what we know, and adapting to an ever-transforming world. While an excess of chaos threatens us with uncertainty, an excess of order leads to a lack of curiosity and creative vitality. Beyond Order therefore calls on us to balance the two fundamental principles of reality – order and chaos ­- and reveals the profound meaning that can be found on the path that divides them.

In times of instability and suffering, Peterson reminds us that there are sources of strength on which we can all draw: insights borrowed from psychology, philosophy, and humanity’s greatest myths and stories. Drawing on the hard-won truths of ancient wisdom, as well as deeply personal lessons from his own life and clinical practice, Peterson offers twelve new principles to guide readers towards a more courageous, truthful and meaningful life.

The follow-up to “12 Rules for Life” presents extended guidance for navigating the complex challenges of contemporary existence.

In his previous work, “12 Rules for Life,” Dr. Jordan B. Peterson, a distinguished clinical psychologist and renowned professor at both Harvard and the University of Toronto, aided countless readers in imposing structure upon the tumultuous aspects of their lives. This new and daring sequel delves further into Peterson’s insights, offering an additional set of twelve essential principles that serve as a lifeline against the wearisome toll exacted by our inherent desire to bring order to our surroundings.

Amidst an era where human intent progressively asserts itself across every facet of existence—ranging from societal constructs to emotional states—Peterson cautions against the peril of excessive security. Furthermore, he furnishes strategies to counteract the cultural, scientific, and psychological influences that steer us toward potential tyranny. He adeptly instructs us on how to trust our instincts in seeking meaning and purpose, particularly in moments of powerlessness.

In a landscape where unchecked chaos can usher in instability and anxiety, an excessive adherence to order can stifle us into submission. “Beyond Order” extends an invitation to harmonize these twin pillars of reality, guiding us along a balanced and precise path that lies between them.
