![]() ![]() That doesn’t make for a solid foundation of “truth”. ![]() Especially in these modern times, when we can confirm and validate any opinion we like if we look hard enough on social media. Goodall’s attention to detail and passion for her life’s work come through in her writing, and I found myself overcome with emotion several times.Īs far as how this book ties into Peterson’s work, the more I read from his sources the more I feel like he has cherry-picked ideas to fit his internal narratives. The material in Thirty Years doesn’t even cover the full lifespan of her subject matter, so we only get a lot of highly educated guesses. Her work with chimpanzees is unparalleled and reveals more about what we don’t know than what we do. Goodall’s book on its own is well worth the read. Never mind having religion in the home, it tends to affect people who grew exposed to the popular culture of their nations. This is why I recommend reading-and attempting an academic understanding of-the major religious texts, because those pages often contain the foundations of thought for authors raised with any amount of theology in their households. I read this because Peterson referenced it in his 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos, and these days whenever I face controversial literature, I try to read at least one layer deeper to gain insight on why people may think the way that they do. ![]()
