Alright, what is the general opinion on this book? Is it worth reading? Don't discuss the author, just the book itself

none of my post is jargon

literally one of the most intelligent things Peterson has ever said.

no way this is real

>stand tall and occasionally pet a neighborhood cat

BAN THIS BOOK

Any well-educated asshole can talk a good talk.

modern day sophistry. I can't say I'm surprised there's a cult of personality around him, but I am surprised that it's become this popular

It's alright. It's an easy casual read. You can play the audiobook while cleaning your room.

It's not Peterson at his best, though. His lectures are more interesting.

Why'd he sign up for this, while being against SJW's and transsexualism and all that?

(s)he's obviously a self-hating repressing transwoman

It's a good gateway to his lectures which are themselves a good gateway to actually reading philosophy. Like other posters have said, its very basic stuff in this book but if it leads you to try reading Dostoyevsky then sure go for it.

Not really. I liked Jordan Peterson for a while but I found his lectures - particularly his pre-celebrity ones - to be his best work. He only dumbs himself down in the book. Maps of Meaning may be an interesting read but I don't think Peterson has all that much to offer. His strength lies in his ability to synthesize disparate intellectual traditions in a modern context. At the end of the day he's not much more than a shill for Christian values and moderate conservatism, but he is doing a good job keeping the old giants like Jung, Heidegger, and Nietzsche alive, and for that we should be grateful.

>But I had more tricks up my sleeve. I poked him in the chest, with my free hand, in a manner calculated to annoy. He didn’t budge. I did it again. And again. And again. Not hard—but not in a manner to be ignored, either. Ten or so pokes letter, he opened his mouth, planning to emit a sound of outrage. Hah! His mistake. I deftly inserted the spoon. He tried, gamely, to force out the offending food with his tongue. But I know how to deal with that, too. I just placed my forefinger horizontally across his lips. Some came out. But some was swallowed, too. Score one for Dad. I gave him a pat on the head, and told him that he was a good boy. And I meant it. When someone does something you are trying to get them to do, reward them. No grudge after victory. An hour later, it was all over. There was outrage. There was some wailing. My wife had to leave the room. The stress was too much. But food was eaten by child. My son collapsed, exhausted, on my chest. We had a nap together. And he liked me a lot better when he woke up than he had before he was disciplined.

I prefer Marie Kondo.

He's lucky he didn't get his ass handed to him. Even that kid's mom could curb stomp his scrawny faggot ass.
Of course the episode isn't real. He lies about everything

I unironically think you can get more out of Kondo than you ever could from peterson.

You're better off reading something fun like Gravity's Rainbow. Petermeme can't write.

>raising your child like a dog

There was a southpark episode about his style of parenting lol

he is on record praising South Park for that episode and explicitly endorsing the fictionalized dog whisperer

It's a "self-help" book for socially retarded 16-year-old boys who want excuses to make their lives worse. It's wildly inconsistent gibberish trying to sneak in JBP's personal annoyances with women
and political revolutions while reminding his audience that they are strong enough and cool enough to transcend the rules he's placed on normies. He pats his tweepy teen fans on the back and reminds them that "the world is tough!" "women only want to humiliate you!" "if you are ever embarrassed or fail at anything, your brain will transform into a new 'beta' brain that can never succeed at anything!" "if you think society should be challenged, you are Hitler and Stalin, who were bad!" "Disney movies want you to think otherwise!" "You did nothing wrong except trust in society!" "Society is bigger than you and you're wrong to be mad about it!" It's just self-contradictory whiplash back and forth while referencing the same three books over and over. It's just a whiny handjob for his whiny fans—he will tell them what they want to hear—not like normal people in the real world, who will tell them they're pretty fragile obnoxious cretins with no social mobility and no lust for life and no future

"no"

its real ive read it

it can genuinely help idiots, self help but rather than success ala tony robinson the goal is to not be a fuckup, I read it because my normie friends all love jordan peterson and i wanted to be able to talk to them about something other than video games

any teacher will tell you dog training techniques work surprisingly well on children

Its a self-help book for manchild fuckups

Nothing wrong with being a fuckup if you are trying to fix it.

You are just mentally ill if you shit on something that helps people be better.

It changed my life for the better. Take it as you will
His fanbase is mad cringey

This. It's good for people who can't handle their own life.

>raising your child like a dog
so that's why his daughter is a dirty bitch

my brother read it and it seems like it genuinely changed him for the better. I don't like the community surrounding it at all and I think he should address that, but the book shouldn't be suppressed.

shouldn't he clean his room?

based based based

Exactly my thoughts on plebianson. I actually think less of slavoj now that he dignified him with the upcoming debate. It is like a professor debating an edgy slightly above average teenager in his first nietzsche phase

peterson is a jew shill trying to stop white men from grouping & fighting the onslaught.
