X2. This a great book that I could read over and over. Unfortunately, I read it once, loaned it to a friend and never got it back

Jessica gave me a couple for Christmas that I'm really looking forward to. Been following this guy on social media for a while and really like his no BS philosophy to life.

Oh heck ya!! I’ll be buying these soon!! Dude is brilliant!
I’m reading “Beyond Order” now. Read the other a couple of years ago. Love Peterson.
He's awesome. A true world treasure and a much needed voice of reason in today's world. His relationship and journey with religion is fascinating.
His new show on the daily wire has me thinking of subscribing.
I only read 4 books last year, which is way off pace and unacceptable. I'm committed to the one a month pace I had going for a few years prior to that. Anyways, this is the last book I read, which I finished earlier this week. I wish I had read this (or something like it) at 18. I often comment on my "general ways" and when comparing my career path to my wife's, draw the clear distinction between me as a generalist and her as a specialist. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it for anyone that's ever wondered if their circuitous, undefined path through life was a strength or a weakness, read this.

I’ve been behind in reading and updating this thread. Recently finished this one and it’s worth the share!!
Looks interesting, Al!
I finished book #1 for 2023 last night. Pretty good read for those into personal development books.

Maybe not everyone’s “cup of tea” but Dr. A was absolutely brilliant. A great read then and now!

I don’t and when I look up the additional books there seems to be some with upwards of 8 volumes. Nonetheless- this book was written in 1958 and it’s a tad scary how much of what he observed, is exactly what we hear today as problems with our diets, nutritional quality, etc.
Change sure takes time……
I am now reading his book on Calcium - which ought to be fascinating!!
If you're in to history and haven't read a book from Hampton Sides, I highly recommend his style of writing. This book was really engaging from start to finish, but hard to read in parts. Not because of his writing, but what he was writing about. The Japanese were a special kind of ruthless, especially during the Bataan Dearh March. It'll make a man mutter a few choice words under his breath while reading, even 80 years after the fact.
