>Why can't we stay closed up inside ourselves? Why do we chase
after expression and form, trying to deliver ourselves of our precious contents or "meanings," desperately attempting to organize what is after all a rebellious and chaotic process? Wouldn't it
be more creative simply to surrender to our inner fluidity without
any intention of objectifying it, intimately and voluptuously
soaking in our own inner turmoil and struggle? Then we would
feel with much richer intensity the whole inner growth of spiritual experience. All kinds of insights would blend and flourish in
a fertile effervescence. A sensation of actuality and spiritual content would be born, like the rise of a wave or a musical phrase. To
be full of one's self, not in the sense of pride, but of enrichment, to
be tormented by a sense of inner infinity, means to live so intensely that you feel you are about to die of life

>Plan and work diligently to maintain the romance in your relationship
I had a gf once. I love her and cared for her and she fucked me off for some alpha male from her work. I then lost lots of weight and the muscles that I'd been hiding under layers of fat after consistently working out for more than a decade helped me meet new women. I've become something of a misogynist Elliot Roger type, even though I can consistently get laid. Peterson has only ever had one wife/gf according to my knowledge so I don't consider him jaded and full of hate enough to really be able to write on the topic. But hey, maybe if he would have come out with this a few years ago we'd still be together... +0.2

this
the amount of internet and wikipedia- "educated" retards seriously trying to pass off as more cultured than a uni professor and clinical psychologist is fairly ridiculous
most of the time, it simply stems from a need to distinguish oneself as more "intellectual" from the people who regularly follow JBP as the latter finally found a guide and motivation to be interested in authors such as Dosto, Nietzsche, Camus, Kierkegaard, Pascal, Tolstoy, Jung, Freud whose work may have relevance in solving today's problems

I don't know what Taoism is. I read part of the Tao te ching or whatever it's called, but all I could make out was a vague reference to something mystic and unknowable, which you of course can't really say anything about either as it is itself nor in relation to your life. The existence of this mystic essence, if that was what was being said(again I can't tell), is ideology though.

gratefulness is something i've come to be more mindful of in my daily life and i must say it's done me a lot of good. charls carrol said, in one of his schizo ramblings that, "gratitude is the highest vibration you can have", and i'm inclined to agree. i can't emphasize enough how much this helps me on a day to day basis, to be consciously grateful for things -- even something as simple as nice weather.

>Do not carelessly denigrate social institutions or creative achievement
The inclusion of “carelessly” is a cop out and leaves this rule without teeth. Should one do ANYTHING carelessly? It also makes no sense for careful denigration to be acceptable. Less proliferation of unfair criticism would be a nete positive for everyone.
>Imagine who you could be and then aim single mindedly at that
Seems arbitrary and self serving. I suppose telling people to commit to a fantasy life outcome will at least help them steer their ship in some direction rather than wander aimlessly. Personally, I find arguing for people to min/max their life in pursuit of becoming a “somebody” grotesque.
>Do not hide unwanted things in the fog
Sound spoopy and ominous, I’ll +1 it for flavor
>Notice that opportunity lurks where responsibility has been abdicated
This one sounds like it came from a Zig Zigler book. Seems vague enough to be given useful context in the book, but it seems to allude to exploitation of dysfunction for personal gain. Though opportunity in own lives could be lurking (again spoopy and ominous) in where we’ve abdicated responsibility in our own lives.

Related to 8. Beauty and romance are among the those things that make life worth living. Anything that promotes more of it in all ways for everyone is what I’d like to see.
>Do not allow yourself to become resentful, deceitful, or arrogant
