According to Jordan Peterson, he spent 3 hours a day for fifteen years writing this book.
That's 16425 hours of study, research, thought and writing (give or take, obviously).
If he had been paid minimum wage (Canada 6$ roughly, according to 90s standards) hourly for all the work he put into the creation of this book, it might be worth $98000.

Of course, I am saying this slightly tongue-in-cheek, but the point is that information is priceless, and the book is worth every penny.

Happy reading. :)(less)
