JORDAN PETERSON’S SUGGESTED READINGS (Extended)

Books

Below are grouped by author, exactly how Peterson organizes them on his site.

🔷 F. M. DOSTOEVSKY (COMPLETED SET)

  1. The Brothers Karamazov
    A sweeping philosophical novel about faith, doubt, morality, patricide, and free will. Central to Peterson’s ideas about responsibility and the psychological roots of good and evil.
  2. Notes from Underground
    A short novel about resentment, nihilism, and self-destruction. Peterson uses it to illustrate how bitterness can destroy a person internally.
  3. The Idiot
    Prince Myshkin embodies pure goodness; the book shows what happens when innocence collides with a corrupt society.

    Tolstoy’s spiritual crisis and his search for meaning. Very aligned with Peterson’s themes of responsibility and existential rebirth.
