Jordan Peterson is in trouble.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-66520089
Apparently quotes on the paperback cover misrepresent reviews that hardback edition got.
The book cover quoted a line from the Times saying the book was "a philosophy of the meaning of life". But it didn't mention that the review described that philosophy as "bonkers".
Also (and this is may favourite)
Another review by Suzanne Moore in the Telegraph said Peterson's book featured "hokey wisdom combined with good advice". The book jacket cut out the word "hokey" so the quote read only: "Wisdom combined with good advice."
