I bought Jordan's 10 rules book, was a good price, put it on the shelf for future perusing. His book is filled with psychology citations/footnotes. It is not a political book.
I still maintain that his political opinions are just one man's opinions, people will like or dislike them based on their political leanings so take them or leave them whatever (he has no formal academic expertise on politics), but his work as a clinical psychologist is fantastic if not brilliant and can and have helped and/or saved many, many people. H8ers gonna H8 but the proof is in the pudding, meaning the countless who thank him for his work and the impact it has had on his life.
People will disagree, but IMO his work as a clinical psychologist makes him the most important public intellectual of the 21th century thus far.,simply based on the lives he's turning around People should try to forget his politics and listen to what he has to say in his field of expertise.
Did every other public intellectual die?
