An Antidote to Chaos

By Jordan Peterson

P eterson is described by the New York Times as being the most influential public intellectual in the Western World right now. For once, I wholeheartedly agree.

He is currently a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto. He’s taught mythology to lawyers, doctors and business people, consulted for the Secretary-General and helped his clinical clients manage depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder and anxiety.

His earlier book, Maps of Meaning revolutionised the psychology of religion, and, while a professor at Harvard University, he was nominated for the prestigious Levenson Teaching Prize.

His university lectures are a major hit on YouTube. He is especially popular with young men. Anyone who can do that is my hero.
