Can't remember if I've mentioned this or not, but I tried to read "12 Rules for Life" last summer, because it was 99p on Kindle. I got to the 3rd rule and gave up, not because I was offended but basically because these were all ideas I'd internally debated and reasoned before my mid-twenties, it was just obvious stuff anyone with an inquisitive mind would consider and work out for themselves. It just wasn't an interesting read.
But I can totally understand why Cristiano Ronaldo or any inquisitive jock would get into Peterson. It definitely taps into a massive academically curious but not participatory audience (sub-academic?)
Is there a sort of polar version of Peterson, someone who guides you into gentle but large philosophical ideas, but from the perspective that nobody is to blame, we are as equal as we want to be and we should all go about our business however makes us happy?
