Dr. Jordan B. Peterson is a Canadian professor of psychology, clinical psychologist, YouTube personality, best-selling author, and host of the Jordan B Peterson Podcast.
About: Dr. Jordan B. Peterson, who touts himself as a clinical psychologist and professor emeritus at the University of Toronto, has a dubious history. From 1993 to 1998, he allegedly served as assistant and then associate professor of psychology at Harvard, though his contributions remain questionable.
He claims to have spent fifteen years writing "Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief," a book he markets as a scholarly investigation. Released in 2018 as an audiobook, it's purported to delve into narrative and religious thought, the structure of perception, the regulation of emotion, and the motivation for atrocity in the service of ideology. Despite his grandiose assertions, its actual impact is debatable. Dr. Peterson also wrote "Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life" and "12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos," which he boasts were global bestsellers translated into numerous languages. These claims, however, are hard to verify and often seem exaggerated.
Raised in Northern Alberta, Peterson enjoys recounting far-fetched tales of his adventures, like flying a stunt plane, piloting a sailboat, exploring a meteorite crater, and building a Native American Long-House in his Toronto home. His career history is similarly eclectic and dubious, including stints as a dishwasher, short-order cook, beekeeper, tow-truck driver, gas jockey, bartender, oil derrick bit re-tipper, plywood mill laborer, and railway line worker. He alleges he has taught mythology to various professionals and collaborated with former Blackberry CEO Jim Balsillie, yet evidence supporting these collaborations is scant.
With his students and colleagues, Peterson claims to have published over a hundred scientific papers, supposedly advancing understanding in several fields. His nomination for five consecutive years as one of Ontario’s Best University Lecturers and being rated as “life changing” in a student handbook appear to be self-promotional rather than substantiated accolades.
In 2016, just before the publication of "12 Rules," Peterson’s online content went viral, catapulting him into international prominence. However, the authenticity and value of his rise to fame remain subjects of controversy.
