Story4.5 out of 5 stars 644
Dr. Peterson guides us through the ancient, foundational stories of the Western world. In riveting detail, he analyzes the Biblical accounts of rebellion, sacrifice, suffering, and triumph that stabilize, inspire, and unite us culturally and psychologically. Adam and Eve and the eternal fall of mankind; the resentful and ultimately murderous war of Cain and Abel; the cataclysmic flood of Noah; the spectacular collapse of the Tower of Babel; Abraham’s terrible adventure; and the epic of Moses and the Israelites.

How Do You Define Success?
Reviewed: 11-30-24
We continuously decide between seizing the pleasure of the moment or making a sacrifice for the future -- but Peterson reminds us that virtue is its own reward. Placing food in a baby's mouth is more fulfilling than a profit in the stock market. But why? What is the whispering voice that recognizes evil, reveals new insights, and enables you to feel love, awe and gratitude? Whether you are an atheist or agnostic, if you are willing to acknowledge these mysteries you have taken the first step away from moral anarchy, such as the shysters who tell us to outwit the other guy, take drugs, or find new hook-ups. Peterson wants us to set a lofty purpose. For inspiration he uses the Bible stories to help us find our errors, acknowledge our "God-given" talents and to use them to energize ourselves and the world.
