Customer Review
- Reviewed in Canada on January 11, 2023I first came across Dr. Peterson through his online lectures and so I thought I would try this book.
While, as my title suggests, I have found this book immensely helpful in helping me to sort out some of my daily life, I found it hard to read at times.
For someone like myself who doesn鈥檛 have a terribly expansive vocabulary, I did find it hard to read in that the language he used, in my estimation, is there to make the readings sound more intellectual than they need to be.
Now, I鈥檓 not entirely sure how true that statement is because in listening to JP talk both in lectures and interviews he sure goes deep into the 鈥淲ebster鈥 well in pulling out his vocabulary.
I suppose what I鈥檓 trying to say is it would have been nice to have the language toned down for those people like myself who may not have the same level of literary education.
So that鈥檚 one complaint.
The 2nd complaint that I have and have seen mentioned in other reviews is the heavy reliance on Christianity in this book. Specifically the stories of Adam and Eve and Cain and Abel. Although I can see where and how he is using these examples to tie into some of the rules, again, it makes for a tough read.
At times I found myself having to re-read the same page because I had zoned out. Or found myself having to 鈥減ush through鈥 certain sections.
All in all the book is a wonderful tool in trying to make improvements in Being. I have found it in some ways life changing. Well worth the time
