New Releases by Jordan B. Peterson

¿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. 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.

OVER TEN MILLION COPIES SOLD #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER 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.

''Without free speech there is no true thought.'' -Jordan Peterson ''If you''re white, this country is one giant safe space.'' -Michael Eric Dyson The Munk debate on political correctness Is political correctness an enemy of free speech, sparking needless conflict? Or is it a weapon in the fight for equality, restoring dignity to the downtrodden? How should we talk about the things that matter most in an era of rapid social change? Four thinkers take on one of the most heated debates in the culture wars of the twenty-first century.

Humorvolle bespreking van twaalf regels voor een goed en gelukkig leven.

An Antidote for Chaos.

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.
