Mistborn is a pretty good gateway Brando Sando joint too. It's part of a trilogy that veers gleefully off the rails in a big way but the first book works pretty well as a standalone on its ownPossibly, might be juat the taste of his work you need to get started. Barring that, try out Elantris or Warbreaker, theybare great standalone* novels.
*Sanderson has a Steven King style shared universe, but the books remain coherent on their own even if other stuff connects tangentially.
I watch Rogan and Peterson quite a bit and never seen anything for Sanderson pop up, so guessing unrelated.I have never read any of his books. I know nothing about him. It's likely he doesn't belong in the Jordan Peterson and Joe Rogan conversation other than the algorithm saying "white guy over a certain age? Show him this content!"
The algorithm is dumb.
That explains a lot. I'm pretty sure several of the drivers who've delivered to me must have been waylaid by multiple random encounters along the way.
