Never read his book, but have watched several videos of Jordan Peterson, and my overall impression of him based on the stuff he says is that he's overrated and deceptive.
Forget his views on religion. As far as social issues, there's so many things he gets wrong, whether it's about white privilege really being "majority privilege" (South Africa, anyone?), sexism not playing much of a role in gender pay gap, or other views that only serve to foster misogynistic and racist mindsets.
For example, Peterson argues that women don't get into positions of power as much as men because they happen to be more agreeable, on average, than men. Thus, women are less likely to negotiate and compete for higher power and status.
I'll post something on that later. Need to go.
