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.

What are the most valuable things that everyone should know?

Acclaimed clinical psychologist Jordan B Peterson has influenced the modern understanding of personality, and now he has become one of the world's most popular public thinkers, with his lectures on topics from the Bible to romantic relationships to mythology drawing tens of millions of viewers. In an era of unprecedented change and polarizing politics, his frank and refreshing message about the value of individual responsibility and ancient wisdom has resonated around the world.

In this book, he provides twelve profound and practical principles for how to live a meaningful life, from setting your house in order before criticising others to comparing yourself to who you were yesterday, not someone else today. Happiness is a pointless goal, he shows us. Instead we must search for meaning, not for its own sake, but as a defence against the suffering that is intrinsic to our existence.

Drawing on vivid examples from the author's clinical practice and personal life, cutting-edge psychology and philosophy, and lessons from humanity's oldest myths and stories, 12 Rules for Life offers a deeply rewarding antidote to the chaos in our lives: eternal truths applied to our modern problems.

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.

Why have people from different cultures and eras formulated myths and stories with similar structures? What does this similarity tell us about the mind, morality, and structure of the world itself? From the author of 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos comes a provocative hypothesis that explores the connection between what modern neuropsychology tells us about the brain and what rituals, myths, and religious stories have long narrated. A cutting-edge work that brings together neuropsychology, cognitive science, and Freudian and Jungian approaches to mythology and narrative, Maps ofMeaning presents a rich theory that makes the wisdom and meaning of myth accessible to the critical modern mind.

Cuáles son las reglas esenciales para vivir que todos deberíamos conocer?

Regla n. 1: mantente erguido con los hombros hacia atrás..., como las langostas; regla n. 8: di la verdad, o por lo menos no mientas; regla n. 11: deja en paz a los niños que andan en patineta; regla n. 12: cuando te encuentres a un gato en la calle, acarícialo.

Dr. Jordan Peterson, el pensador más polémico e influyente de nuestro tiempo , según el Spectator, nos propone un apasionante viaje por la historia de las ideas y de la ciencia --desde las tradiciones antiguas a los últimos descubrimientos científicos-- para tratar de responder a una pregunta esencial: qué información básica necesitamos para vivir en plenitud.

Con humor, amenidad y espíritu divulgativo, Peterson recorre países, tiempos y culturas al mismo tiempo que reflexiona sobre conceptos como la aventura, la disciplina y la responsabilidad.

Todo con el fin de desgranar el saber humano en doce hondas y prácticas reglas para la vida que rompen radicalmente con los lugares comunes de la corrección política.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A book that shatters the modern commonplaces of science, faith and human nature, while transforming the mind of its readers.

What does the nervous system of the lowly lobster have to tell us about standing up straight (with our shoulders back) and about success in life? Why did ancient Egyptians worship the capacity to pay careful attention as the highest of gods? What dreadful paths do people tread when they become resentful, arrogant and vengeful?

Dr. Peterson journeys broadly, discussing discipline, freedom, adventure and responsibility, distilling the world's wisdom into 12 practical and profound rules for life.

Con Más allá del orden Jordan B. Peterson se consolida como el ensayista más influyente y polémico del momento.

Cuáles son las reglas esenciales para vivir que todos deberíamos conocer? Tras el éxito de 12 reglas para vivir, llega la obra que nos da el perfecto equilibrio entre orden y caos.

El intelectual más influyente del momento en Occidente. The New York Times

En 12 reglas para vivir, obra de la que se han vendido más de cinco millones de ejemplares y que ha influido como ninguna otra en el ámbito intelectual y político del último lustro, Jordan Peterson ofrecía verdades eternas aplicadas a las ansiedades contemporáneas. Su mensaje provocador sobre el valor de la responsabilidad individual y el significado de nuestras acciones ha resonado con enorme fuerza arrastrando a miles de lectores a las librerías.

A diferencia del anterior, centrado en las consecuencias del caos, Más allá del orden alerta sobre los peligros de un exceso de seguridad y control en nuestra vida y pone en valor conceptos como la creatividad, la curiosidad o la vitalidad. El objetivo es mantener el perfecto equilibrio entre los dos principios fundamentales de la realidad: el orden y el caos, y evitar que ninguno de los dos gobierne nuestro destino.

Entremezclando mitos, historia clásica y ejemplos personales de su propia vida y práctica clínica, Peterson presenta doce nuevos principios para lograr una vida con más sentido.

Vivimos en una época en la que mucha gente joven (y no tan joven) se siente perdida. Peterson habla de las actitudes que los ayudarán a encontrar el camino. No es el camino común o políticamente correcto, pero sí uno que aporta sentido a nuestra vida. The Wall Street Journal

Uno de los más eclécticos y estimulantes autores de hoy en día. The Guardian

The highly anticipated new book by Jordan B. Peterson. A work that unveils the psychology of the Bible and its great stories.

THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED AND REVOLUTIONARY NEW BOOK BY JORDAN B. PETERSON, AUTHOR OF THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER 12 RULES FOR LIFE.

A work that unveils the psychology of the Bible and its great stories.

An essential text to understand the foundations of the Western world, analyzing from a psychological perspective the biblical stories of rebellion, sacrifice, suffering, and triumph that unite and inspire us to this day.

Peterson explores the essence of our being, the layers that define us, and how ideological polarization and mental health stem from our internal struggle. He invites us to dive into the greatest story ever told and dare to wrestle with God.
