About this listen
This program includes an introduction read by the author.
A fascinating biography and in-depth look at the work of best-selling writer and psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson, by award-winning author Jim Proser.
Who is psychologist, professor, best-selling author, and YouTube personality Dr. Peterson? What does he believe in? Who are his followers? And why is he so controversial? These are among the many questions raised in this compelling, exhaustively researched account of his life - from Peterson’s early days as a religious-school student in small-town Canada to his tenure at Harvard to his headline-making persona of the present day.
In Savage Messiah, we meet an adolescent Peterson who, scoffing at the "fairy tales" being taught in his confirmation class, asks his minister how it’s possible to believe the Bible in light of modern scientific theory. Unsatisfied with the answer he’s been given, Peterson goes on to challenge other authority figures who stood in his way as he dared to define the world in his own terms. This won Peterson many enemies and more admirers than he could have dreamed of, particularly during the digital era, when his nontraditional views could be widely shared and critically discussed. Still, a fall from grace was never far behind.
Peterson had always preached the importance of free speech, which he believed was essential to finding life-saving personal meaning in our frequently nihilistic world. But when he dismissed Canadian parliament Bill C-16, one that compelled the use of newly-invented pronouns to address new gender identities, Peterson found himself facing a whole new world. Students targeted him as a gender bigot. Conservatives called him their hero. Soon, Peterson was fixed firmly at the center of the culture wars - and there was no turning back.
With exclusive interviews of Dr. Peterson, as well as conversations with his family, friends, and associates, this audiobook reveals the heart and mind, teachings and practices, of one of the most provocative voices of our time.

Excellent read! Recommended for all!
This book allows a peek into the mind and a life of a brilliant scholar.
Good narration as well.
I did enjoy it.
Wishing the profane language and some graphic scenes were omitted, making it presentable to our young readers)

Very good insight into the man and his life.
The only thing I would have liked better is for Jordan Peterson to narrate but the narrator chosen did a great job!

Not to be repetitive, but
You saved me and started a cleansing of my heart and mind. The Atlas burden of life and suffering and most of all giving me words to express the dismay of the disarray of this world. Asylum being run by the Crazies! Freedom of Speech and I love Alberta are my mantras. Hines Creek, Fairview and Vulcan Alberta are the string of commonality for me with you. I have an insatiable connection to your philosophy and life view. Can’t say it all. The best book/audio book ever!! I would like to join the Jordan B. Peterson army to fight for Freedom of Speech. P.

A revelation
A wonderful, engaging and courageous insight into the life of an extraordinary man. A modern hero, indeed, still on the hero's journey.

Not Jordan Peterson
This presents as a Jordan book. It is a book by someone else about Jordan. Not into this style at all. If someone else read it maybe it would be better
