He offers 12 rules, centered on ideas of chaos, change, and order. <em>Beyond Order<\/em> builds on the ideas laid out in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/12-rules-for-life\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>12 Rules for Life<\/em><\/a>, Peterson\u2019s 2018 self-help bestseller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve collected several <em>Beyond Order<\/em> quotes and presented them along with context and explanation to help you understand Peterson&#8217;s ideas more fully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cA certain amount of creativity and rebellion must be tolerated\u2014or welcomed, depending on your point of view\u2014to maintain the process of regeneration. Every rule was once a creative act, breaking other rules.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Beyond Order<\/em> Rule #1 is &#8220;Do not carelessly denigrate social institutions or creative achievement.&#8221; Peterson says that all traditions are prone to becoming dogma\u2014rigidly following old ideas even when they\u2019ve become outdated. In time, Peterson says, dogma falls away when creative thinkers challenge the flaws in an existing status quo and improve upon them. In this way, creative change counteracts the eventual decline of traditional ideas and ways of living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;Aim at something. Pick the best target you can currently conceptualize. Stumble toward it.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Beyond Order<\/em> Rule 2 is &#8220;Imagine who you could be, and then aim single-mindedly at that.&#8221; Peterson asserts that, because our world is full of suffering, we\u2019re each obligated to become the best people that we can be. Peterson suggests looking to the great stories of the past and imitating the heroes of our myths. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find the proper heroic motivation, Peterson suggests the following tactics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Pursue a noble and challenging goal.<\/li><li>Embrace the inevitability of failure.<\/li><li>Be willing to fundamentally <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-become-the-best-version-of-yourself\/\">transform yourself<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;There will be times in your life when it will take everything you have to face what is in front of you, instead of hiding away from a truth so terrible that the only thing worse is the falsehood you long to replace it with.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Beyond Order<\/em> Rule 3 is &#8220;Do not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/do-not-hide-unwanted-things-in-the-fog\/\">hide unwanted things in the fog<\/a>.&#8221; Peterson explains that you shouldn\u2019t ignore chronic stressors, lest they become larger issues. Daily life is full of tiny, repeating pricks of stress\u2014kids to care for, work colleagues to deal with, imperfect relationships to manage, and chores to juggle. If you let these pricks build up, they\u2019ll amount to tons of stress over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cIf you want to become invaluable in a workplace\u2014in any community\u2014just do the useful things no one else is doing. Arrive earlier and leave later than your compatriots (but do not deny yourself your life).1 Organize what you can see is dangerously disorganized. Work, when you are working, instead of looking like you are working.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Beyond Order<\/em> Rule 7 is &#8220;Work as hard as you possibly can on at least one thing and see what happens.&#8221; Consistency, Peterson argues, is a necessary precondition of success. You won\u2019t get anywhere if you don\u2019t commit to something and stick to that path.&nbsp;To become consistent, pick a direction and stay the course single-mindedly. As you go, you\u2019ll need to confront the trials and challenges of that path. According to Peterson, these challenges will test your commitment and show you what you\u2019re made of. When you give yourself no options but to follow through, that pressure will make you strong enough to handle anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&nbsp;&#8220;Life is what repeats, and it is worth getting what repeats right.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Beyond Order<\/em> Rule 10 is &#8220;Plan and work diligently to maintain the romance in your relationship.&#8221; Since what you do routinely constitutes most of your life, it\u2019s important to get your routines right. Once you\u2019ve sorted out the details, regularly check in with your spouse about how they\u2019re doing and whether they need changes. Consistent communication ensures that you avoid tyrannizing each other.&nbsp; With your practical matters squared away, Peterson recommends that you plan your romantic life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What&#8217;s a good attitude to have toward new ideas and methods?
