Problem is, you can't really sell yourself as a self-improvement guy if you have as many homelife fuck ups as Peterson does. Between failing to raise his daughter and becoming a junkie, he lost any highground to preach from. Same with any claim he could have to practice psychology on a therapeutic level.
So he might not be wrong in what he is saying, but now him being the one saying it taints it whatsoever because of his personal failings.
Exactly. His most famous piece of advice is probably the "clean your room" line, or to put it in its more formal form, "set your own house in order before you criticize the world." His own house is clearly not in order but he keeps criticizing the world, so now what?
the second advice being "pick the highest load you can, and carry it"
and he's a living example of why thats bad advice : do that and you'll end up burnt out and addicted to things that temporarily allow you to not notice that you're burnt out.
She is all the evidence you need to know Peterson doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about.
Eh, I think he does sometimes, but his daughter is a fucking fruitcake.
I don't know what the hell happened to her but she's all over the place when it comes to her opinions.
I think it has everything to do with her being a woman.
