Jordan Peterson's "A List of Influential Books Everyone Should Read"
show list info
A set of books recommended by Jordan Peterson. Most of the books on this list present ideas about human malevolence and the journey toward self actualization. This list is not for the faint of heart. Many of the books on this list shed light on some of the worst atrocities ever committed by human beings. While I do think reading them is important, pay attention to your mental health as you read these books. They are hard to read not just because of the complexity of ideas and writing, but also the subject matter. If you need to take a break, take it. The goal is to be BETTER, not to be hopeless. I intend to go through this list slowly and I recommend you do the same.
