It is a self-help book rooted in Jungian theory, widely discredited in modern psychology. His understanding of modern and postmodern philosophy is only deep enough to convince readers with no knowledge of those topics that he knows something about them.
I urge everyone to look at this video. If this is the best the left can do, they are in big trouble. JP is much more convincing than this video is.
Also - I see this a lot - he is attacked on ideological grounds, while his entire argument is that the discourse should be grounded in science, not ideology.
Here's an example: many people seem to think that if you give men and women equal rights and opportunities, that this will automatically lead to 50-50 in STEM, health, politics etc.
The problem here is that extensive research shows that in the societies where the most equal opportunities exist (Scandinavia) the differences between men an women in those areas actually increase. This research has not been refuted by anyone.
Apparently when men and women are free to choose the life they want to lead, they make different choices.
Which leads to the question: should we really push for equity in the sense of equal representation or is that just another form of oppression?
Again: if this video is the best the left can do, they are in big trouble.
