A Journey Through Foundational Narratives

From the bestselling author of 12 Rules for Life comes a transformative exploration of the stories that have shaped the Western world. In We Who Wrestle with God, clinical psychologist and renowned thinker Jordan B. Peterson delves into the psychology, mythology, and philosophy underlying some of the most profound Biblical narratives.

The Stories that Define Us
Through the tales of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Noah's flood, the Tower of Babel, and the journeys of Abraham and Moses, Peterson examines the timeless themes of rebellion, sacrifice, suffering, and redemption. He reveals how these ancient stories have guided humanity's quest for meaning and purpose over millennia—and why their wisdom is more crucial now than ever.

A Guide for Modern Times
Peterson argues that in our dismissal of these narratives, we risk losing touch with the psychological and cultural insights they offer. By interpreting these foundational accounts, he sheds light on how they can serve as guideposts for our contemporary search for meaning and direction.

Thought-Provoking and Enlightening
We Who Wrestle with God invites readers to grapple with life's eternal questions: Who are we? What is the purpose of our existence? And how can the ancient wisdom of the past help us navigate the complexities of the modern world?
