Ooooh controversial deal. Do you love equality, diversity, and inclusion? Hate the patriarchy? Think the gender pay gap is unfair and not a product of natural differences between men and women? Agree with new atheism (like Sam Harris) on the foundation of morals? Then you should probably look for another book- here, try this one instead - https://www.booktopia.com.au/a-left-that-dares-to-speak-its-…

If the above doesn't describe you, read on- thanks for making it this far! Love him or hate him JBP has certainly made a huge impact on our culture and the lives of many individuals. This book- "Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life" is a follow-up to his best seller, "12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos". This is pretty good for preorder price, comes to $28.90 after shipping so if you've been keeping your eye on any toys/games for Christmas, it's a good idea to bundle for the shipping price.

For reference Dymocks and QBD have a pre-order price (for the paperback version) of $35 and Booktopia has it listed for $31.75 all not including shipping. Book Depository has it for $31.33 including shipping but it's still $2.43 more expensive than this unless you wait for the next great Book Depository cashback deal. Current cashback at CR is 1.4% for existing customers, 8% for new customers - so even if you're a new customer you'll end up 17.4c ahead going via mighty ape and paying for shipping.

Hope this helps someone, maybe more than just financially.

        Shows what you know! Nowhere in the definition of science does it say that you have to prove things with numbers. That would be quantitative data analytics. That's one way of doing things, and we use that in social science too (i.e. how many times did someone sit in this part of a park vs this other part, what are the differences in temperature, light etc that might be the reason for that?), but qualitative data analysis is equally valid.

        Social science has theories and hypotheses and uses evidence to prove them wrong or write and reveal things about how society works. If that's not science I'm not sure what is?

        edit: noted your comment about not having done stats or anything???!!! My social science degree required two stats subjects actually lmao. But yeah carry on and go off on stuff you know nothing about.

          Social science is weak. Worth pursuing, but limited. The power of prediction is the true measure. Once you get into psychology and beyond, there are too many variables. Data becomes dodgy. Qualitative data analysis is story telling.

            @skinnywombat: What a ridiculous thing to say. The fact that social science is less able to make predictions reflects on the complexity of society, not its lack of usefulness as a discipline. Behavioural economics, psychology, urban planning - these are all things that don't have "right" or "wrong". People like you find them useless or "weak" because you lack the patience to deal with them.

            Engineering, IT, maths, physics, chemist, these areas of study are far more easy to be proven wrong in (some are still very difficult to be proven right though). That means that knowledge gleaned from them can be used in a more certain way. That doesn't mean they are more or less useful. It's just the nature of the beast.

              @[Deactivated]: I’m not sure we disagree on a lot, maybe just the connotation of words, which sort of goes to my point. I said social science is worth pursuing; when I say it is weak, I mean in terms of predictive power. It is more difficult than hard sciences. Because it’s more difficult we end up with the 12 economists in a room, 12 different opinions joke. And that makes decisions based on social science rather than hard science more difficult.

        That's more a feature of his style of debating and the fact that his thinking is very concrete. Reasonable people are able to accept that they are wrong or that they might not know the full picture. Having seen Peterson "debating" it's clear that he is not such a person. There's no point debating people like him. It's like debating with Trump. They could be saying the sky is blue, or they could be saying it's rainbow and sparkly - whether they are right or wrong is inconsequential because you can't argue with them.

          This is a weird comparison since Trump and Peterson are pretty much complete opposites of each other. Trump is good at reading people and relies on his personality to bully his opponents. Watch any of his Apprentice shows, interviews or the Presindential debates, it's the same pattern.

          Peterson on the other hand is on the spectrum, so doesn't read people or use personality, he brute forces you with data, and opponents find themselves floundering in the sea of data he throws at them. He is extremely knowledgeable and sharp as a tack. Any response you have, he has the data to counter it and regular humans can't deal with that. I used to work with a guy like him and it was like a nerd superpower. You don't have to agree with his world view, but there's no denying his ability.

      Certain field of social science can have weak academic and scientific standards and be filled with conjecture and limited practical or scientific utility/generalisability.

      As an example have a read through theses which were awarded a Phd. Compare the scientific rigour of this to a thesis from a hard science field. There is a whole filed of social science dedicated to studying supposed nuances of sexual expression in roller derby (?) . In my opinion this is mostly pointless intellectual posturing and graphomania and should not be classified as science, yet if you criticise it you can be easily labelled as a transphobe, sexist or anti feminist

        What a strange thing to make a point of.

        The articles you shared are clearly cultural studies rather than social science. That's a different field and it is far more about discussing theories of knowledge and culture creation than society itself. A few PhDs about roller derby is a pretty useless argument in suggesting social science lacks rigour.

        They may still be useful in creating a knowledge base about how a certain part of society approaches xyz, but using them to say social science has less rigour than hard science is stupid.

          They are all within a sub field of what is considered social science. They are all awarded a Phd which implies classification as scientific work. Some are awarded by the faculty of social science at the respective university.

          This was just one example out of many of dubious work in the broad field of social science. That is not to say the whole field is scientifically dubious, but it does have a problem with work of dubious scientific value. It is an example of why people can be critical of social science

      @jrowls. Abolutely agree with you. There are self-help books that are 100% evidence based. Thinking Fast and Slow, which you cited, is one. Stumbling on Happiness by Daniel Gilbert, is another. 59 seconds, by Richard Wiseman is yet another.

      Peterson’s 12 Rules for life was not such a book. It was more of a “Let’s carefully select only the parts of the evidence that align with the narratives I already believe in, throw away the rest of the evidence, and interpret the sh#t out of those carefully selected fragments of evidence to make it look like they strongly support my arguments” kind of book. Peterson’s debates and videos take a similar approach.

      Unfortunately the purely evidence based books don’t sell anywhere near as many as Peterson because they don’t have 5 years of YouTube propaganda backing them.

          Peterson is a culture warrior trying to get you to believe marxists have infiltrated the corridors of government. He’s found a willing audience in those that believe the deep state is involved in ‘oppression of the (usually white male) privileged’

          He was probably most honest talking with Rogan when he basically said he makes money (about $80k a month) no matter how the discussion goes.

    Yo OP your link to Zizek's book has an extra letter at the end which breaks the link.

    ….Also Peterson is apparently a decent neuro-psych academic but I have no respect for him as a philosopher. Dude rocked up to a debate with (profanity) (notorious university dumpster racoon cursed by a witch to become a human) Zizek having read just The Communist Manifesto…. And he didn't even bother to read it properly, as far as I can tell. I've read essays by undergrads which paid more attention to the source material… Seriously… What an intellectual hack…

    (Also I haven't read any of Zizek's work, but isn't he supposed to be like, a third positionist Lacanian as well as self-identifying as a communist? Like I'm pretty sure I've heard people talk about how his work relies heavily on Hegel and Lacan)

        +10

        The book offers a perspective. I do a lot with management consulting and performance training. For me it reinforced the view that as a person we not only have to do the right thing, but we have a moral obligation to make something of ourselves in the world and contribute back to society. You can't just stroll around being a free for all fkwit, you NEED to make something of yourself so grow up.

        Many people, in particular men, are not as lucky to realise their 'purpose' or 'goals' (I'm using these VERY loosely), and a lot of it is due to the sheer lack of guidance available in the current structure of society. If you refer back a few hundred years, you would have the blacksmith training the apprentice, or the father training his son/daughter in his trade. in these scenarios, you had a default means of direction, instead of being directionless in the 'you are free to do whatever you want'.
        The issue with doing whatever you want, is that you don't know what to do.
        People by nature don't want the responsibility that they would take, if 100% of their direction was up to them. It's easier for people to be told what to do, mostly, in a job context, then be left standing their figuring out what they want to do. by all means if you know what you want to do, you're one of the lucky ones, but for a lot of people, it' just ooooh aaaahhh maybe I'll do this. Furthermore, and unrelated, if you're talking about the masculine, you have this balance of no have to balance my work for my family, but what can happen a lot of the times is that a person who has a purpose ends up sacrificing that for their family life and may end up equality unhappy and end up blaming the family commitment for not focusing/achieving their desired goals - ranted off a bit here.

        (replying to TheRealCJ below sorry)

        The book doesn't say you need to agree.

        The issue comes, when people who don't agree with the perspective or the things that the books say, start saying if you agree with anything with the book, you are a heretic.

        Goes back the hypocritical fact, lots of freedom of speech, as long as your world views are the same as mine.

        The % of haters and hypocrites is always the same. The lazy ones who don't do any work and just stay on the side lines commenting and then complain why they aren't successful. Books and resources are there for you to read, like actually read, and then you should go read other perspectives until you have a decent resource point/collection of perspectives. From there, you should use your own educated judgement.

          Which is a completely unrelated tweet.

          "You have to admire Hitler! […] Because he was an organizational genius!" links to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44f3mxcsI50&t=941s
          Where… he doesn't say that.

          The ones which do work are him talking generally about Hitler from a psychoanalysis perspective. Even if taken on their word (despite lack of evidence) it also continually takes lazy bad faith characterisations.

          This article reminds me of why no-one trusts news anymore - it's easy to let BS out of a bottle but hard to put back in.

      Your opinion of the author/content does not constitute a valid neg. Please read ozbargain voting guidelines before negging, and state a valid reason from the list provided.

          It's a book. The spine is glued sufficiently and the pages are turnable. There are zero reports of this item spontaneously combusting. Thank you for your superfluous rejoinder but the invalid neg has been revoked.

          • Pufff on 29/11/2020 - 00:27

            @MattyD: You've got it already have you?
            I didn't neg it anyway.
            99% of people who talk about it won't buy it anyway.

      It's a bargain website with an offer for a book. Not a 'did you like the content - if not neg'

      If that's the way we're running with things. Domino's offers would be negged to death by those who don't enjoy their pizzas

      Yeah not sure why all the negs. It's a decent price for those looking to buy it, which is what this site is all about. I don't think his writings are particularly good or helpful, but that doesn't justify a neg.

        Lads. The post has four negs. There are maybe half a dozen deadshit posts here that have been negged.

        But feel free to go off about ~the tolerant left~ anyway.

      In this really (profanity) up reality, isn't he actually reaffirming his argument that life is a struggle, by struggling at life?

      It's not like he goes around saying life is easy everyone, then fails at it anyways. 🤷‍♂️

    Some people here are soooo judgemental. The common consensus is he can’t give advice because he had a drug problem….. hahahaha, what!? He still possesses the knowledge and like him or not has helped countless people. You are all way too bitter to not at least acknowledge that he has saved many lives and inspired countless others. All fine to disagree with him. But to call him far-right or a racist or whateverism just really shows your lack of common sense.

    So here’s how it works:

    *Follow 12 rules
    *Get bullied by daughter until you eat nothing but meat
    *Get hooked on benzos and almost die
    *Get institutionalised in Russia
    *Remain in rehab for months at a time
    *??????????
    *Release 12 NEW rules because you’re such a stellar role model.

    Hard pass

    Imagine being so brainwashed by the mainstream media and echo chambers like reddit and twitter you genuinely believe someone who advocates for personality responsibility, hard work over idleness and personal freedom over government compelled control is somehow problematic, racist, sexist and all the other baseless slurs you can come up with.
    What this man advocates if for all people regardless or race, gender and any other insignificant differences you can come up with.
    I have no doubt those down voting have not once listened or read any of his ideas in detail and instead are attacking because they are brainless followers of media influences.

      You are creating straw man arguments. A straw man argument is where you misrepresent the arguments of people who disagree with you, so that you can dismiss them more easily without having to contend with their actual argument. A straw man argument is where you claim (without evidence) that people who disagree with you are brainwashed. A straw man argument is where you generalise, and claim (without evidence) that everyone who disagrees with you is the same, so you don’t have to contend with a variety of different view points and arguments. A straw man argument is where you lump hundreds of different newspapers and news media under the childish term “mainstream media” so that you don’t have to contend with all the evidence and sources that form the basis of legitimate journalism. A straw man argument is where you claim people who dislike Peterson are “brainless” so that you don’t have to address their individual concerns or arguments because, quite frankly, you probably couldn’t, given the unsupported generalisations you’ve come up with so far.

        Weird that he hasn't replied. Also if this deal can teach us anything it's that clearly ozbargain is a rare non echo chamber. I haven't seen this many strawmen and out right falsehoods since the black lives matter PS4 theme.

    Jordon Peterson is an ‘intellectual’ for more simplistic thinking people.
    Comedian Jim Jefferies made a fool of him in an interview with some pretty simple logic (about gays & wedding cakes in the USA)
    Sam Harris ran intellectual rings around Peterson in a live forum debate (on YouTube - about the existence of god IIRC). More critical thinking people can pick up on the finer/granular logical fallacies of Peterson
    A lot of the time Peterson just goes on a Gish gallop diatribe
