Beyond Order, the companion volume to 12 Rules for Life, offers further guidance on the perilous path of modern life. In it, Peterson delivers twelve more lifesaving principles for resisting the exhausting toll that our desire to order the world takes.
In a time when the human will increasingly imposes itself over every sphere of life - from our social structures to our emotional states - Peterson warns that too much security is dangerous. What’s more, he offers strategies for overcoming the cultural, scientific and psychological forces causing us to tend toward tyranny, and teaches us how to rely instead on our instinct to find meaning and purpose, even - and especially - when we find ourselves powerless.
