#34 checking if i’m psychologically stable with Jordan Peterson

After diving into Jordan Peterson's 'Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life, it's time to shamelessly question my sanity.   With 8 juicy questions from this book, together, we can check in on our psychological stability. Who needs therapy when you have a podcast, right? 🤷‍♀️   📚 Quick Book Blurb: 'Beyond Order' is Peterson's sequel to '12 Rules for Life' – it delves deeper into the human psyche, elucidating the balance between chaos and order. Peterson offers a roadmap to navigate life's complexities, emphasizing the necessity of structure amidst uncertainty.   👍 Please socially validate me by giving the Pretty Decent pod a review (5 🌟 welcome)
