乔丹·彼得森认为，我们理解世界的方式并非通过理性地分析事实，而是通过构建和参与故事。故事塑造了我们的目标，决定了我们对世界的感知和情感体验。他批判了后现代主义对西方中心故事的解构，认为这导致了当前的文化战争。他认为，关于人类基本目标存在多种竞争性叙事，例如性与权力，但这些叙事都存在局限性。他提出，圣经故事提供了对人类及宇宙基本目标的多维度刻画，揭示了正确的崇拜对象，即对最高目标的追求。创世纪第一章描述了上帝从混沌中创造秩序的过程，以及人类作为这一过程的微观体现。创世纪第二章中亚当和夏娃的故事则揭示了人类堕落的原因：骄傲和对道德秩序的僭越。亚当和夏娃的罪，以及他们对自身罪责的推卸，体现了人类堕落后自我意识和逃避责任的本性。彼得森认为，人类应效仿上帝从可能性中提取善的秩序的方式，向上追求爱，并避免骄傲自大。只有这样，才能避免痛苦和自我意识的折磨，过上充实而有意义的生活。
