The long-awaited sequel to 12 RULES FOR LIFE, which has sold over 5 million copies around the world
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.

Critics Review
-
The advice in Beyond Order reflects some new and painful awareness of mortality. But it was always Peterson’s intimate, self-revealing style that made his life advice so powerful, so energising, and so hard to reduce to politics
Telegraph -
A sui generis kind of personal trainer for the soul…. It’s a good thing that there’s space on the self-help shelves for a book as bracingly pessimistic as this one… Peterson offers an invaluable reminder that we’re finite and inherently imperfect
Guardian (Book of the Week) -
Life-changingly inspirational
The Times -
Full of sensible, humane advice, and shows he is still very much on top… The book is a validation of his own role; as he observes, being able to articulate what many people instinctively feel but can’t articulate is a valuable role for a public intellectual
Evening Standard -
In telling us that life is suffering (as all major religions do) and that the goal is to find meaning rather than happiness, he does have something to say. … wisdom combined with good advice. Peterson is at his best when telling stories of his clinical practice – he comes across as an empathetic non-judgmental listener
Telegraph -
More trenchant life advice from the bestselling author of 12 Rules for Life… bound to be a bestseller
