I’m reading his “12 Rules” now. I’m going to finish it, but it’s unnecessarily verbose.

Peterson is a treasure.

I have not read much of his stuff — he speaks very well (sometimes a convoluted stream of thought, but pretty clear and concise). It seems that his writing may actually be less accessible.

Nicholas Nassim Taleb, in my opinion, has the opposite problem. His writing is dense and packed with ideas, but on the whole I think his writing is clear and pretty accessible. But Taleb in an interview? I find him hard to take. His style of speaking just puts me off and makes me think I'm wasting my time waiting for him to actually make a discernible point.
