Finding Meaning in Chaos: insights from "Beyond Order" by Jordan Peterson
Details
This meetup explores key ideas from **Jordan Peterson’**s book Beyond Order, focusing on how people find meaning, stability, and direction in a complex and uncertain world.
Where his first book, "12 Rules for Life", emphasised structure and discipline, his follow-up, "Beyond Order", looks at what happens when life becomes too rigid — and how growth often requires stepping into uncertainty while still taking responsibility for our actions. The themes are psychological and practical rather than political.
We’ll discuss topics such as:
- The balance between order and chaos in everyday life
- Responsibility as a source of meaning
- Truth, integrity, and self-honesty
- Limits, discipline, and self-respect
- Choosing meaningful difficulty over comfort
This is a guided conversation, not a lecture or debate. It would be nice if those who attend also read the book, but it's not necessary — curiosity and personal reflections are also welcome.
Disclaimer: This is not therapy and not a political discussion.
Who’s this for?
Anyone interested in psychology, personal responsibility, and meaning-making. First-timers are welcome. No prior knowledge of Jordan Peterson or the book is required.
Why pay for the event?
I have to reserve a table at a restaurant, they expect that we at least drink something, so your reservation includes a drink, whether it is tea, coffee or cola.
