Jordan Peterson is a charlatan. He is sexist. He is not a typical representative of a psychologist and one should be very wary of recommending him to someone depressed, he can put petrol on their fires [1][2]. I'm Indian and I find him similar in style though very different to the charlatan 'Sadhguru' Jaggi Vasudev. JP spews very poisonous bullshit along with his generic advises. I think the Nathan J Robinson piece about him 'The Intellectual we Deserve' is a good starting point [3].
