In his books, Peterson makes three consistent points. Peterson manages these, as well as other questions, with his signature polymath style, combining insights from his private clinical psychology practice, ancient mythological traditions, popular children's literature, scientific research, art history, medieval alchemy, dreams, and the Bible. The 12 rules are straightforward answers to perennial questions: How might humans reform stagnant social institutions? What characteristics make up the ideal personality? Should we seek happiness in life or responsibility? Is true romance possible? And how can we be grateful despite our suffering or the suffering of those we love? Whether it is the problems of chaos or control, Peterson forces us to confront our lives, in ways that are entertaining and insightful, as a hero's journey of sorts-a story with a meaning. ![]() At first glance, his new set of rules seems indistinguishable from his last.

The real agreements and disagreements between Wordsworth’s and Coleridge’s views are more interesting than those to which Coleridge’s interpretation has called attention.Ĥ Coleridge's chapters on Wordsworth have won praise from his defenders as well as from his detractors and have persuaded most historians of criticism. The position he offers in opposition to the one he draws from the Preface closely resembles the one Wordsworth actually put forward there. Although intelligible meanings can be discovered for Wordsworth’s remarks about “the real language of men” and the lack of “ essential difference” between the languages of verse and prose, Coleridge’s exegesis reduces them to absurdity. It distorts Wordsworth’s account of his choice of subjects and his comments on poetic language. His discussion of the Preface repeatedly shifts the positions to which it objects and misleadingly distinguishes between what the Preface can legitimately be taken to mean and what it probably does mean. Although Coleridge’s interpretation of Wordsworth’s Preface has shaped subsequent understanding of Wordsworth’s meaning, Coleridge was out not to clarify but to refute Wordsworth. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Every Sawyer product you buy is a contribution to our common humanity, bringing clean water programs to people in need domestically, internationally, and in disaster relief missions all around the world.
