Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life by Jordan B. Peterson

A Sequel to the International Bestseller

In his international bestseller, 12 Rules for Life, Jordan B. Peterson offered an antidote to the chaos of modern society. Now, in Beyond Order, he provides twelve more principles to help individuals and societies thrive in an increasingly complex and demanding world.

Rule 1: Tell the Truth – Or, at Least, Don't Lie

Peterson argues that truth-telling is essential for individual and social well-being. When we lie, we undermine trust and cooperation, and we make it impossible to build a just and sustainable society.

Rule 2: Assume That the Person You Are Listening to Might Know Something You Don't

Peterson encourages us to be open-minded and willing to learn from others, even if we disagree with them. When we assume that others know something we don't, we are more likely to be receptive to new ideas and to find common ground with others.

Rule 3: Do Not Do Things That You Hate

Peterson argues that it is important to avoid doing things that you hate, even if they seem necessary. When we do things that we hate, we are more likely to experience stress, anxiety, and depression. We are also more likely to make mistakes and to伤害 ourselves and others.

Rule 4: Compare Yourself to Who You Were Yesterday, Not to Who Someone Else Is Today

Peterson encourages us to focus on our own progress, rather than comparing ourselves to others. When we compare ourselves to others, we are more likely to feel inadequate and discouraged. We are also more likely to become resentful and envious of others.

Rule 5: Let Your Children Do Dangerous Things

Peterson argues that it is important to allow children to take risks and to experience danger. When we overprotect our children, we prevent them from developing the skills and resilience they need to succeed in life. We also make them more likely to become anxious and fearful.

Rule 6: Set Your House in Perfect Order Before You Criticize the World

Peterson encourages us to focus on our own lives and to make sure that our own houses are in order before we criticize the world. When we are critical of others, we are often projecting our own insecurities and problems onto them. We are also more likely to be seen as hypocritical and self-righteous.

Rule 7: Pursue What Is Meaningful (Not What Is Expedient)

Peterson argues that it is important to pursue what is meaningful in life, rather than what is expedient. When we pursue what is meaningful, we are more likely to be happy and fulfilled. We are also more likely to make a positive contribution to the world.

Rule 8: Tell the Truth – Or, at Least, Don't Lie

Peterson argues that truth-telling is essential for individual and social well-being. When we lie, we undermine trust and cooperation, and we make it impossible to build a just and sustainable society.

Rule 9: Assume That the Person You Are Listening to Might Know Something You Don't

Peterson encourages us to be open-minded and willing to learn from others, even if we disagree with them. When we assume that others know something we don't, we are more likely to be receptive to new ideas and to find common ground with others.

Rule 10: Do Not Do Things That You Hate

Peterson argues that it is important to avoid doing things that you hate, even if they seem necessary. When we do things that we hate, we are more likely to experience stress, anxiety, and depression. We are also more likely to make mistakes and to伤害 ourselves and others.
