Eventually; Reason, Enlightenment Returned.

a good dollop of ethical understanding shared in a real and down to earth way. Jordan who is a clinical psychologist brings and humanely articulates an important message as western society struggles with its many psycho-social problems and virus-like shallow group identity politics and conveniently manipulative political correctness. He is well versed in English and Russian literature and explains the archtypical aspects contained therein and in Western culture. I laughed at many of his personal accounts and almost cried at others.
So many men in western society don't know how to be men anymore and there is a high rate of suicide in this group. He teaches how to be a man, and to be aware of the oedipical parent.

Exceptional

Best book in decades.Will save your life from misery.Read it.Share it. Practise it. Love it.

excellent

I loved this book, I especially loved chapter 1 and 2 and the story about the dragon. I cant stop telling my friends about all the amazing lessons. I have already shared my audible book with a
friend.

Unbelievably addictive

Took 2 days, couldn't stop.
starting over again now.
Highly recommended this book for Dr Petersen's fantastic ability to engage your mind

Listened only during commuting

Worth relistening and reliving it again. Hearing it from the author himself made the experience very personal.

Powerful ideas and stories, backed up by science

Centered around culture, but bounded by the scientific knowledge of psychology and pragmatism, Jordan Peterson's book can be a life changer for most. In my opinion though, the editing could have been much better, some sections are unrelatable and needlessly long. However, if you give this book a good shot, it will easily give you more than your time's value in gold. If you like the book, check out his lectures on psychology too, on YouTube, you will not be disappointed.

Enlightening

Loved the book. Every chapter gives you something to think about. Narrator excellent. A good choice for those long walks

Impressive book containing a lifetime of wisdom

Prof Peterson has made an honest, earnest, passionate and intelligent attempt at a treaties on living a worthwhile life. I believe he largely succeeds. He is equally influenced by Christianity and psychological science making the whole thing quite unique in the self help/non fiction arena.
I read him to be very much a centrist. Don't be put off by reviews calling him conservative and you certainly don't need to be anything like a "conservative Christian" to find a treasure trove of interesting and useful information and insights.
Go on, buy it. I think you will be pleased you did.i loved his narration by the way!

An epic journey

Brilliant book, heavy in content and deep with impact.
The narration by Peterson adds even more depth to the book.

An absolute must read/listen

Not knowing what to expect. Then this book is for you.

As in the rules listen to people as they may know something you dont.
