The reason Jordan Peterson is considered a grifter: A few years ago, without knowing who the author was, I bought Jordan Peterson's "12 Rules for Life." A few chapters in, I began to have a mental allergic reaction to his 'reasonable' advice. It was like eating food that turned out to be past its e...
