  I was excited to start this book and to tell you the truth, it seems interesting. With rain and a hot coffee from Nicosia

  Someone wrote "another psychology and self-improvement book, which starts with nice ideas but ends up shoving its religious proselytism down your throat. While its ideas are profound in many aspects, it ends up in half-baked cases that are supposedly God's will."

  And I say that this person is lying and probably didn't read the book, a book that I finished a few years ago (in its first year of publication and of course in the English language). It has nothing to do with God's will and other such things.

  Peterson himself has answered the question of whether he believes in God by saying "I live my life as if God exists" (which is, perhaps, the most exceptional answer that an essentially agnostic person could give).

  It is an amazing book and I would say that the audiobook version with the author reading the text (and getting emotional at times during the narration) is preferable.

  I highly recommend it, especially for thoughtful young men/women who are searching for meaning in their lives. It helps that I have knowledge of the subject (psychology).

  Another psychology and self-improvement book, which, although it starts with nice ideas, ends up shoving its religious proselytism down your throat. While its ideas are powerful in many aspects, it ultimately concludes in half-baked cases that everything is God's will, and that He is above everything, and how even if you are an atheist, He still made you this way, etc.

  It's a shame because I expected it to be more valuable, based on the radical views I had heard from time to time.

  I can't understand how someone can characterize the book as "unbearably verbose". It is a true gem for the humanities, coming from one of the brightest minds of our time. The book combines elements of literature, allegory, and intense philosophical contemplation on issues that have preoccupied society for centuries. Would I recommend it to someone? Absolutely! Do I believe that this book can be understood at its core? I would say that without the relevant knowledge background and the necessary patience, it is quite difficult, although Jordan Peterson has done a wonderful job in helping the reader understand the main message as much as possible. 5/5.

  It is a likable book with useful ideas, but unbearable verbosity. Out of the 368 pages of rules, a little over half have substance. It also has strong elements of literature and allegory, something that personally made me lose interest and start skipping pages. However, for anyone who has patience, it is worth reaching the end.

  The book presents a wide range of philosophical concepts in a fairly accessible way for the average reader. It is worth studying :)
