I wasn’t aware of the controversy surrounding Jordan Peterson when I started reading this book, but still noticed how he seemed to present some of his personal opinions as scientific fact (e.g. supposedly innate psychological difference between men and women), even though in most other cases he uses references to base his arguments on.

Despite its flaws, this is a good book, because it makes you think about various topics which we don’t usually discuss.

I'll mention I’m quite anti-religion and while all the Bible references bothered me a lot initially, it was interesting reading the author’s interpretation of them.
