Jordan Peterson’s ‘Beyond Order’ Calls For Balance And Gratitude

By Joshua Lawson

‘Beyond Order,’ Jordan B. Peterson’s long-awaited new book, is an insightful, all-too-needed prescription for an anxious, angry, and divided world.

Sequels have a notorious and troubled history.

“Scarlett,” Alexandra Ripley’s follow-up to Margaret Mitchell’s smash-hit “Gone With the Wind,” was widely panned as a disappointing bore.

And, in the realm of non-fiction, American presidencies are routinely rife with scandal, misadventures, and political sclerosis in their second terms.

Yet from the earliest moments during the surging popularity of Jordan B. Peterson’s “12 Rules For Life: An Antidote to Chaos,” it was clear the Canadian clinical psychologist had tapped into something profound, and both his fans — as well as his critics — would expect an encore. Now, after three years, more than five million books sold, and a life-threatening, multi-year battle with a debilitating illness, Peterson is back.
