I'm guessing she didn't succeed
My brother has apparently become obsessed with this Peterson guy, which is a little worrying. He's rather vulnerable to this kind of thing. My stupid dad seems to be encouraging it too for some weird reason, and isn't providing a sanity balance for him. It probably won't lead to anything much though.
Which is all the more reason to read that book you were given so as to be able to debunk arguments you find unsound.
But I think the biggest worry about someone becoming obsessed with Jordan Peterson is that many of his arguments are posted onto youtube by right wing activists who think he's on their side.
So you can find a lot of right wing bullshit side by side with his videos.
