In this sequel to his previous bestseller, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos, Canadian clinical psychologist, professor, and YouTube personality Dr. Jordan B. Peterson extends his examination of the relationship between order and chaos.

For Dr. Jordan Peterson, order and chaos are two fundamental tenets of reality.

Peterson's initial prompt for writing his books was a question on the website Quora asking for a list of the most important things everyone should know.

Beginning with a list of 42 rules, Peterson narrowed them down, resulting in the book 12 Rules for Life, which sold over 5 million copies worldwide.

Jordan B. Peterson is a behavioural psychologist, professor at Harvard and the University of Toronto, and one of the world's most influential public intellectuals, with millions of podcast listeners and YouTube subscribers worldwide.

In Beyond Order, Peterson relays a dozen new rules to address individual development and the social world we inhabit.

Blending psychology, ethics, religion, and mythology, Beyond Order comprises 12 behavioral tenets that counterbalance Peterson's previous arguments against an excess of chaos, attributed to liberalism.

In Beyond Order, the author argues against excessive order stemming from a conservative worldview, recognizing that this can be equally harmful.
