Had the same thought. On this note, Peterson's reading list [1] is worth pursuing, however I'd dovetail it with less serious books for the sake of levity -- his reading list, like himself, can be pretty serious + severe.

I came to read it by way of a fellow House of Leaves enthusiast’s recommendation. I don’t remotely care for Jordan Peterson.

But what do you think of his book list?

I like a surprising number of them. I’m surprised to see Demons mentioned; that’s been my favorite of his for over 5 years.

So I don’t like his platform, but he has some excellent taste in books.

Actually, I’ve had this book for years. I think Jordan Peterson is an exploitational personality who simply tells people what they want to hear.

Then again, George Lucas is among those who like it, so it’s not necessarily an intellectually valuable cohort.

I’m not in any JP fan club or anything, but that’s a bizarre assessment. Jordan Peterson is as far from someone who “tells ppl what they want to hear” as you can get. Which is one reason among a few why he is so unlikeable.

People are masochistic and self hating. They love it when an older man tells them to get your sorry life together bucko. Take small steps, and incrementally work your way up you piece of shit.
