The unfortunate part is if you mention Peterson to anyone they automatically judge you, because there has been so much hysteria about the guy in media/social media. I got down voted, I want to clarify this is something I experienced. I don't even follow Peterson closely. I did find one of his books helpful but mentioning that to a colleague in one discussion led to a strange situation where some colleagues believed they knew what I thought on a vast range of topics without even talking to me.
