I never read it but I heard it is good.

>>19020922
If you have basic problems yes, if not it’ll still be mostly interesting.

No. Just go to the gym and get fit so you can get laid and you'll feel better.

>>19020976
Not OP but I pursued this path but never really made me that happy. Yes I got fit but I dont want have sex with a bunch of whores. I want a meaningful relationship.

>>19020985
>Yes I got fit but I dont want have sex with a bunch of whores
lol, you keep telling yourself that and some day you might actually start believing it

If you want a meaningful relationship you need experience with Women and you need to be in good shape so what's the problemo?

I never read his books but I listened to his lectures a lot over the last few years. He isn't groundbreaking but he presents ideas in a way that makes sense to young aimless western retards like myself. He doesn't just say "clean your room" which any imbecel knows you should do, he says "clean your room because x, y, z". Anyway I'm starting my lifelong dream job tomorrow and I don't think I would've begotten this far without listening to Peterson in my really dark chapters a few years back. Take that as anndlecdotal evidence if you want. I'll read his books eventually.

>experience with Women
Gross. No one wants a used-up guy.

>>19021016
>No one wants a used-up guy.
You're delusional if you think women care about that the same way that men do.

Many women do. I'm in Europe tho.

>>19020922
Maybe. It’s very helpful insofar as it gives young men who lacked a father figure growing up advice that, although might be simple, they need to hear from another, older man.

>>19021031
If a guy that looks like this asked a girl out do you think "hmm... he must have fucked a lot of women, that's kind of gross" would even cross their mind at all before they immediately jump on his cock?

>>19021056
You can't tell that by how someone looks obviously. I just hope you don't shoot up a place because of your loneliness and incel rage.

>>19021056
That guy looks fucking basic and disgusting ew fuck no (I am female). Slender twinks on the other hand...

>>19021072
>You can't tell that by how someone looks obviously
If they can't tell then you shouldn't really have a problem fucking a bunch of women and just not talk about it, right?

>>19021025
>You're delusional if you think women care about that the same way that men do.
I do. If a guy is sleeps with a lot of women all the time it means that he cannot be trusted in a relationship. It immediately triggers disgust in me and I don't want anything to do with him.

You are either 1)not a woman or 2)a crazy bitch, proven by the fact you're in this shithole

>>19021074
>I am female
Timestamp with tits or you're a tranny larper.

The first part which is the lobster part is really important. It basically is just the convincing that a young guy like you needs to stand up taller and prouder in the most basic and literal sense.

Supplement this read with pic related.

You still have time to find a young, child-bearing woman.

>>19020922
The author of the book himself has a messy life and came close to death. Hd also does not abide by the rules he has laid out in the book. Clearly that's a no.

>>19020922
Maps of Meaning, his thesis, is better.

>>19021600
Redpill me on this book

>>19021035
fuck, that's literally me

>>19022413
But does itself help?

>>19020922
no, it's tainted with incelshit and petermeme is generally unstable

All men want this, problem is all women are whores. Stop chasing a fairytale and just slum it with the sluts.

>>19020922

He himself said that he presents an ideal based on the stuff he has seen as a clinical psychologists, but it's impossible for any individual to be that ideal. We all fall sort in one way or another, but the point of the book is to at least try.

His life became "messy" thanks to all the stress he had for speaking against the trans laws in Canada. All the fucking lectures and shit. His wife then got liver cancer and he began a treatment with anti-anxiety drugs that proved too addictive.
>>19023904
That's a bit unfair though. You can criticize a lot of things, but he being moved to tears by a North Korean refugee that got bullied at college for not remembering 9001 pronouns?

I do not understand why the Self Help genre exists when Marcus Aurelius - Meditations exists.
Read that before attempting some drug addicts “masterpiece” or his “12 step program”

>>19024688

>>19020922
applicaiton of the rules is more important than reading the book.
if you cant pee pee dont ask if you can poo poo.

>>19024681
I own meditations. It is a small book though.

>try
Who disagrees with that? Of course we should try to sort out our own personal problems but Peterson requires perfection. It's a contradiction, no way around it.

>>19020922
No book can do that

>>19020922
Yes

>>19027224
>It's a contradiction, no way around it.
If it wasn't then people would make the same argument the grand inquisitor did

>>19027806
What do you mean?
In a sense that it would be impossible for people to follow Jordan's principles?
