Jordan Peterson strana 3 z 3

Uznávaný klinický psychológ Jordan Peterson významne ovplyvnil súčasné chápanie osobnosti. Vďaka jeho prednáškam o Biblii, ľúbostných vzťahoch, či mytológii, ktoré oslovili desiatky miliónov ľudí, ho možno zaradiť medzi najpopulárnejších mysliteľov na svete. V dobe nevídaných zmien a polarizujúcej politiky našiel jeho priamy a osviežujúci odkaz o dôležitosti osobnej zodpovednosti a starovekej múdrosti odozvu na celom svete. V tejto knihe ponúka dvanásť dômyselných a praktických princípov pre zmysluplný život, ktoré nás nabádajú, aby sme si upratali vo vlastnom dome skôr, než začneme kritizovať iných, alebo aby sme sa porovnávali so svojím včerajším ja, nie s dnešným ja niekoho iného. Ukazuje nám, že sa nemáme snažiť dosiahnuť šťastie. Namiesto toho musíme hľadať zmysel nielen pre zmysel samotný, ale aby sme unikli pred utrpením, ktoré je neoddeliteľnou súčasťou nášho života. Peterson vychádza z jasných príkladov zo svojej klinickej praxe i osobného života, z prvotriednych poznatkov psychológie a filozofie a ponaučení plynúcich z najstarších mýtov a príbehov ľudstva a pozýva čitateľa na neopakovateľnú intelektuálnu cestu. 12 pravidiel pre život je pútavá, inšpiratívna kniha, ktorá ponúka liek na chaos v našich životoch: nesmrteľné pravdy aplikované na naše súčasné problémy.

What are the most valuable things that everyone should know? Acclaimed clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson has influenced the modern understanding of personality, and now he has become one of the world's most popular public thinkers, with his lectures on topics from the Bible to romantic relationships to mythology drawing tens of millions of viewers. In an era of unprecedented change and polarizing politics, his frank and refreshing message about the value of individual responsibility and ancient wisdom has resonated around the world. In this book, he provides twelve profound and practical principles for how to live a meaningful life, from setting your house in order before criticising others to comparing yourself to who you were yesterday, not someone else today. Happiness is a pointless goal, he shows us. Instead we must search for meaning, not for its own sake, but as a defence against the suffering that is intrinsic to our existence. Drawing on vivid examples from the author's clinical practice and personal life, cutting edge psychology and philosophy, and lessons from humanity's oldest myths and stories, 12 Rules for Life offers a deeply rewarding antidote to the chaos in our lives: eternal truths applied to our modern problems.
