Template:Jordan Peterson sidebar Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life is a 2021 book by Canadian clinical psychologist and psychology professor Jordan Peterson. The book was released on 2 March 2021.[1][2][3][4][5]
Overview
Background
Peterson's original interest in writing his last book, 12 Rules for Life grew out of a personal hobby of answering questions posted on Quora; one such question being "What are the most valuable things everyone should know?", to which his answer comprised 42 rules.[6] Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life is based on another 12 of the original 42 rules Peterson answered on Quora.[7]
Writing
Peterson wrote the book during a difficult period in his life in which his wife was diagnosed with terminal kidney cancer, though she recovered. Drug treatments for his depression led to a Benzodiazepine addiction for which he was treated in Russian and Serbian rehabs with ketamine and an induced coma. During this period, part of a global coronavirus pandemic, he also caught coronavirus.[8][9]
Publication
Shorty after the book's annoucement, multiple staff at Penguin Random House Canada protested against the publication of the book. At least 70 anonymous messages were made to the publisher's diversity and inclusion committee, with just "a couple" in favour of publishing.[10]
Reception
Suzanne Moore of The Telegraph rated the book four out of five stars, saying that Peterson is "at his best when telling stories of his clinical practice" and finding the book, like its predecessor, "hokey wisdom combined with good advice". Moore also found "not much here for women at all", "no real analysis of how power operates" and wrote that "the rules are really nothing to argue about".[8] Reviewing in The Times's James Marriott wrote that: "Ideas that flit and glimmer in Peterson's videos look bloated and dead when strapped to the page". Marriott believed Peterson to be famous for his personality rather than his "bonkers" philosophy, said that Peterson "may have mistaken his personality for a philosophical system" and found a chapter of Harry Potter analysis to contain the "most entertaining absurdities" of the book.[9]
