Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life by JORDEN PETERSON | book summary
About book –
Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life by JORDEN PETERSON | Jordan Peterson beyond the order. In 12 Rules for Life, acclaimed public thinker and clinical psychologist Jordan B. Peterson offered an antidote to the chaos in our lives: eternal truths applied to modern anxieties. His insights have helped millions of readers and resonated powerfully around the world. Now in this much-anticipated sequel, Peterson goes further, showing that part of life’s meaning comes from reaching out into the domain beyond what we know, and adapting to an ever-transforming world. While an excess of chaos threatens us with uncertainty, an excess of order leads to a lack of curiosity and creative vitality.
Beyond Order, therefore, calls on us to balance the two fundamental principles of reality — order and chaos - and reveals the profound meaning that can be found on the path that divides them. In times of instability and suffering, Peterson reminds us that there are sources of strength on which we can all draw insights borrowed from psychology, philosophy, and humanity’s greatest myths and stories.
Drawing on the hard-won truths of ancient wisdom, as well as deeply personal lessons from his own life and clinical practice, Peterson offers twelve new principles to guide readers towards a more courageous, truthful and meaningful life.https://ronakblog.com/media/5b656b4932c2635e18dd29fae49ff9d5

Rule 1 is all about Sanity, social institution. Creative achievements.

who is a true winner in any game?
he talks about bottom-up hierarchy, the necessity of equality, the necessity of balance.
Rule II | Imagine who you could be and then aim single-mindedly at that
Who you are? We are way more complex than we thought. In this rule, he talks about what our minds and bodies can do more things in life. He talks about we can imagine and then act out something that has simply not been seen.
Rule III | Do not hide unwanted things in the fog
there is a beautiful concept about just not worth the fight

there will be a dark time in your life and you have to face everything and never hide the fog.
Rule IV | Notice that opportunity lurks where responsibility has been abdicated
he talks about games, like when we play a game there are few restrictions we narrow the limit ourselves and explore the possibilities.
by taking responsibilities, we find meaningful paths to improve our personalities

I’m slightly against this rule because I believe of time you have to do what you hate
this is a brief chapter which talks about why you should not do what you hate.
he gives an example of job, work-life, and not doing what you hate.
Rule VI | Abandon ideology
It’s really important to understand what type of people you follow in life. What I believe it better to admire people than following
rule VII | Work as hard as you can on at least one thing and see what happens
When coal is subjected to intense heat and pressure, far below the Earth’s surface, its atoms rearrange themselves into the perfect repeating crystalline alignment characterizing a diamond. The carbon that makes up coal also becomes maximally durable in its diamond form (as diamond is the hardest of all substances). Finally, it becomes capable of reflecting light. This combination of durability and glitter gives a diamond the qualities that justify its use as a symbol of value. That which is valuable is pure, properly aligned, and glitters with light — and this is true for the person just as it is for the gem. Light, of course, signifies the shining brilliance of heightened and focused consciousness. Human beings are conscious during the day when it is light. Much of that consciousness is visual and therefore dependent on light.
Rule VIII | Try to make one room in your home as beautiful as possible
Making something beautiful is difficult, but it is amazingly worthwhile. If you learn to make something Making something beautiful is difficult, but it is amazingly worthwhile. If you learn to make something
he talks about his own room and how he decoded it. People are often upset by abstract art, or by art that appears to devote itself to producing negative reactions such as disgust or horror merely for the shock value. I have tremendous respect for ideals of traditional beauty and, therefore, some sympathy for that response, and there is little doubt that many who merely disdain tradition mask the sentiment with artistic pretension. However, the passage of time differentiates truly inspired work from the fraudulent sort, even if imperfectly, and what is not crucial is generally left behind.
Rule IX | If old memories still upset you, write them down carefully and completely
But Is Yesterday Finished with You? Imagine you undertook some truly terrible actions in the past. You betrayed or hurt people in a genuinely damaging manner. You damaged their reputation with gossip and innuendo. You took credit for their work. You robbed them materially or spiritually. You cheated on them. Or imagine, instead, that you have been the target of some such events — and let us also assume you have become wise enough to try to avoid repeating the experience. In both circumstances (as perpetrator or victim) the actual events and the associated memories evoke fear, guilt, and shame.
Rule X | Plan and work diligently to maintain the romance in your relationship
Rule X | Plan and work diligently to maintain the romance in your relationship, negotiate, and practice that, too. Allow yourself to become aware of what you want and need, and have the decency to let your partner in on the secret. After all, who else are you going to tell? Devote yourself to the higher ideal upon which an honest and courageous relationship is necessarily dependent, and do that with the seriousness that will keep your soul intact. Maintain your marital vows, so that you are desperate enough to negotiate honestly. Do not let your partner brush you off with protestations of ignorance or refusal to communicate. Do not be naive, and do not expect the beauty of love to maintain itself without all-out effort on your part. Distribute the requirements of your household in a manner you both find acceptable, and do not tyrannize or subject yourself to slavery. Decide what you need to keep yourself satisfied both in bed and out of it. And maybe — just maybe — you will maintain the love of your life and you will have a friend and confidant, and this cold rock we live on at the far end of the cosmos will be a little warmer and more comforting than it would otherwise be. And you are going to need that, because rough times are always on their way, and you better have something to set against them or despair will visit and will not depart. Plan and work diligently to maintain the romance in your relationship.
Rule XI | Do not allow yourself to become resentful, deceitful, or arrogant
we are oppressed by the fundamental uncertainty of Being. Of course, nature does us in, in unjust and painful ways. Of course, our societies tend toward tyranny, and our individual psyches toward evil. But that does not mean we cannot be good, that our societies cannot be just, and that the natural world cannot array itself in our favor. What if we could constrain our malevolence a bit more, serve and transform our institutions more responsibly, and be less resentful? God only knows what the ultimate limit to that might be. How much better could things become if we all avoided the temptation to actively or passively warp the structure of existence; if we replaced anger with the vicissitudes of Being with gratitude and truth? And if we all did that, with diligent and continual purpose, would we not have the best chance of keeping at bay those elements of self, state, and nature that manifest themselves so destructively and cruelly, and that motivate our turning against the world? Do not allow yourself to become resentful, deceitful, or arrogant.
Rule XII | Be grateful in spite of your suffering
You might love people despite their limitations, but you also love them because of their limitations. That is something very much worth understanding. Doing so may help you see how gratitude remains possible. Although the world is a very dark place, and that each of us has our black elements of soul, we see in each other a unique blend of actuality and possibility that is a kind of miracle: one that can manifest itself, truly, in the world, in the relationships we have that are grounded in trust and love. That is something for which you can be courageously thankful. That is something in which you can discover the part of the antidote to the abyss and the darkness. Be grateful in spite of your suffering.
