Jordan B. Peterson

An Antidote to Chaos

12 Rules for Life

Jordan Peterson looks to the past to make sense of the present in this study of humanity, faith and theology.

A revolutionary new offering from Dr. Jordan B. Peterson, renowned psychologist and author of the global bestseller 12 Rules for Life.

In We Who Wrestle with God, Dr. Peterson guides us through the ancient, foundational stories of the Western world. In riveting detail, he analyzes the Biblical accounts of rebellion, sacrifice, suffering, and triumph that stabilize, inspire, and unite us culturally and psychologically. Adam and Eve and the eternal fall of mankind; the resentful and ultimately murderous war of Cain and Abel; the cataclysmic flood of Noah; the spectacular collapse of the Tower of Babel; Abraham’s terrible adventure; and the epic of Moses and the Israelites. What could such stories possibly mean? What force wrote and assembled them over the long centuries? How did they bring our spirits and the world together, and point us in the same direction?

It is time for us to understand such things, scientifically and spiritually; to become conscious of the structure of our souls and our societies; and to see ourselves and others as if for the first time.

Join Elijah as he discovers the Voice of God in the dictates of his own conscience and Jonah confronting hell itself in the belly of the whale because he failed to listen and act. Set yourself straight in intent, aim, and purpose as you begin to more deeply understand the structure of your society and your soul. Journey with Dr. Peterson through the greatest stories ever told.

Dare to wrestle with God.

We Who Wrestle with God

Jordan B. Peterson este unul dintre cei mai sclipitori gânditori ai momentului. Psihologul canadian a devenit în ultimii ani un veritabil fenomen mediatic: pe YouTube poate fi văzut în peste 200 de prelegeri și interviuri, care adună mai bine de 30 de milioane de vizualizări; iar pe Twitter și Facebook este urmărit de 300 000 de oameni. Plin de umor și asociind în mod surprinzător adevăruri ale tradiției occidentale cu ultimele descoperiri din neuroștiințe, Peterson ne povestește despre homari și asertivitate, despre skateboarding și adevărații bărbați, despre Iadul ranchiunii și aroganței, dar și despre lumina pe care o poate aduce în viața noastră mângâierea unei pisici sau un moment de sinceritate față de sine – dar și față de apropiații noștri. Plecând de la revelațiile marilor religii ale lumii, dar și de la capodoperele literare și filosofice (ale unor Goethe, Nietzsche sau Dostoievski), autorul ne îndeamnă să revenim la clasicele virtuți (disciplină, curaj, onestitate, prietenie etc.) și să ne asumăm răspunderea pentru existența noastră tragică, în care există totuși un sens ce așteptă să fie căutat. Într-o lume în care structura familiei este în colaps, educația este adesea impregnată de ideologie, iar societatea politică a ajuns să fie periculos de polarizată, cele 12 Reguli de viață oferă un antidot: redescoperirea vechilor adevăruri și valori, care ne pot ajuta, în plină epocă relativistă, să ducem o viață mai bună, mai luminoasă, mai chibzuită. JORDAN B. PETERSON, profesor canadian de psihologie, predă la Universitatea din Toronto, susținând totodată conferințe publice cu o audiență remarcabilă. Este apreciat nu doar pentru criticile sale cultural-politice – cum ar fi obiecțiile la adresa „corectitudinii politice" -, dar și pentru deschiderea sa către religie, filosofie, literatură și studii politice. În calitate de psiholog clinician, Peterson lucrează cu clienți afectați de depresie, anxietate sau schizofrenie, fiind și consilier al unor manageri de top din firme din domeniul juridic. A fost consultant la Secretariatul General al ONU și a mai predat la Harvard. A scris mai bine de o sută de articole științifice pe teme diverse (de la terapia dependențelor la psihologia personalității) și este autorul unui revoluționar tom dedicat psihologiei religiei, Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief (1999), în curs de traducere la Editura Trei. Mai multe detalii, pot fi găsite pe conturile autorului de pe Facebook și YouTube, dar și pe site-ul său personal, www.jordanbpeterson.com. "A durat mult până am găsit titlul: 12 Reguli de viață: un antidot la haosul din jurul nostru. Acesta sugerează clar faptul că oamenii au nevoie de principii ordonatoare, pentru a evita instaurarea haosului. Avem nevoie de reguli, standarde, valori — și luați singuri, dar și luați împreună. Suntem niște animale de povară, obișnuite să tragă la jug. Avem nevoie de o încărcătură care să ne justifice existența mizerabilă. Avem nevoie de rutină și de tradiție. Aceasta înseamnă ordine. Dacă am trăi cum se cuvine, am fi capabili să tolerăm povara conștiinței de sine. Dacă am trăi cum se cuvine, am reuși să ne asumăm propria fragilitate și mortalitate, fără să ne simțim ca niște victime nevinovate, fără să cădem în starea de invidie sau să ajungem, mai apoi, la dorința de răzbunare și distrugere. Dacă am trăi cum se cuvine, nu ar mai fi nevoie să apelăm la securitatea oferită de totalitarisme, pentru a ne proteja de recunoașterea propriei finitudini și ignoranțe. Poate că am reuși să evităm cărările ce duc spre Iad — iar secolul XX ne a arătat cam cât de real poate fi Iadul" - Jordan B. Peterson

"Why would people in different places and times formulate myths and stories with similar symbols and meanings? Are groups of people with different religious or ideological beliefs doomed to eternal conflict? Are the claims of science and religion truly irreconcilable? What might be done to decrease the individual propensity for group-fostered cruelty? Maps of Meaning addresses these questions with a provocative new hypothesis that explores the connection between what modern neuropsychology tells us about the brain and what rituals, myths and religious stories have long narrated. Peterson's ambitious interdisciplinary odyssey draws insights from the worlds of religion, cognitive science and Jungian approaches to mythology and narrative. Maps of Meaning offers a critical guide to the riches of archaic and modern thought and invaluable insights into human motivation and emotion."--book cover

What do you think are the most important facts that everybody should be aware of? Jordan Peterson, a renowned clinical psychologist who has shaped the modern understanding of personality, has emerged as one of the world's most popular public thinkers, with his lectures attracting tens of millions of viewers. His lecture topics range from the Bible and romantic relationships to mythology. His straightforward and invigorating message on the need of personal responsibility and ancient wisdom has resounded all around the world at an era of extraordinary upheaval and divided politics. His twelve principles for a fulfilling existence range from "putting one's own house in order" to "judging oneself by what one was yesterday, rather than what one is today." He demonstrates why seeking happiness is fruitless. Instead, we must seek significance not as an end in itself but as a means of protecting ourselves from the inevitable pain of living. A deeply rewarding antidote to the chaos in our lives, 12 Rules for Life applies eternal truths to our modern problems with the help of vivid examples from the author's clinical practice and personal life as well as the latest in psychology and philosophy and the wisdom of humanity's oldest myths and stories.

An Antidote to Chaos (New Revision and Analysis)

Peterson tizenkét további szabállyal áll elő: egyfelől ősi bölcsességekre hagyatkozó, nehezen fellelt igazságokkal, másfelől a legszemélyesebb tapasztalatokkal, amelyeket magánéletéből és klinikai gyakorlatából szűrt le. Ez a tizenkét újabb szabály segíti az olvasót egy bátrabb, igazabb élethez, amelyben több értelmet fog találni. Az élet értelme nem más, mint az ismert dolgainkon való túllépés, nem más, mint az örökké változó világhoz való alkalmazkodás. A Túl a renden gondolatmenete szerint egyensúlyt kell teremtenünk a valóság e két alapvető elve, a rend és a káosz között. A kettőt elválasztó ösvényen vezet az út az élet igazi értelméhez. Peterson felidézi, miből is meríthetünk erőt a szenvedéssel teli, kiegyensúlyozatlan időkben: a pszichológia és a filozófia köréből leszűrt tanácsokból, és az emberiség legfontosabb mítoszaiból, maradandó történeteiből. Dr. Jordan B. Peterson a 12 szabály az élethez című bestseller szerzője, amely világszerte több mint ötmillió példányban kelt el. Több évtizeden át dolgozott klinikai pszichológus professzorként a Harvardon és a Torontói egyetemen. Peterson mára a világ egyik legbefolyásosabb gondolkodója lett. YouTube videóit és podcastjait világszerte több száz millióan hallgatták meg, globális könyvturnéjára több mint 250 000 ember volt kíváncsi. A globális angol nyelvű megjelenéssel egy időben lát napvilágot magyarul a 21. Század Kiadó gondozásában a 12 szabály az élethez várva várt folytatása. A 12 szabály az élethez világszerte több mint ötmillió példányban kelt el. Jordan B. Peterson, klinikai pszichológus, gondolkodó abban a könyvében ellenszert kínált az életünket elborító káosz ellen. Örök igazságokat kínált modernkori szorongásaink legyőzésére. Tanácsai olvasók millióin segítettek, és világszerte nagy hatást váltottak ki. A folytatásban Peterson szemlélteti, hogy az élet értelme nem más, mint az ismert dolgainkon való túllépés, nem más, mint az örökké változó világhoz való alkalmazkodás. A túltengő káosszal szemközt bizonytalankodunk, fenyegetett helyzetben érezzük magunkat, azonban a rend túltengése a kíváncsiság hiányához és a kreatív életerő hiányához vezet. A Túl a renden gondolatmenete szerint éppen ezért arra van szükség, hogy egyensúlyt teremtsünk a valóság e két alapvető elve, a rend és a káosz között. A kettőt elválasztó ösvényen vezet az út az élet igazi értelméhez. Peterson felidézi, miből is meríthetünk erőt a szenvedéssel teli, kiegyensúlyozatlan időkben: a pszichológia és a filozófia köréből leszűrt tanácsokból, és az emberiség legfontosabb mítoszaiból, maradandó történeteiből. Peterson tizenkét további szabállyal áll elő: egyfelől ősi bölcsességekre hagyatkozó, nehezen kikapart igazságokkal, másfelől a legszemélyesebb tapasztalatokkal, amelyeket magánéletéből és klinikai gyakorlatából szűrt le. Ez a tizenkét újabb szabály segíti az olvasót egy bátrabb, igazabb élethez, amelyben több értelmet fog találni. Jordan B. Peterson azt írja a bevezetőben: „Remélem, ezt a könyvet is éppolyan hasznosnak fogják találni, mint az első 12 szabályt. Nagyon megtisztelő, hogy sok erőt merítettek a gondolataimból és a történeteimből.” Dr. Jordan B. Peterson a 12 szabály az élethez című bestseller szerzője, amely világszerte több mint ötmillió példányban kelt el.

Tudóstársaival és tanítványaival Dr. Peterson több mint száz szakcikket jelentetett meg, Maps of Meaning című 1999-ben megjelent könyve forradalmasította a valláspszichológiát.

24 Rules For Life

The companion volume to 12 Rules for Life offers further guidance on the perilous path of modern life. In 12 Rules for Life, clinical psychologist and celebrated professor at Harvard and the University of Toronto Dr. Jordan B. Peterson helped millions of readers impose order on the chaos of their lives. Now, in this bold sequel, Peterson delivers twelve more lifesaving principles for resisting the exhausting toll that our desire to order the world inevitably 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. While chaos, in excess, threatens us with instability and anxiety, unchecked order can petrify us into submission. Beyond Order provides a call to balance these two fundamental principles of reality itself, and guides us along the straight and narrow path that divides them.
