While Peterson is a bit sloppy when he talks about truth, the notion of truth that he is working with is not simply his own construction to write some bottom line. There is a lot of literature of pragmatist analyses of truth and belief that roughly align with what he is saying and I would consider closer to what is the nature of truth (truer about truth) than the correspondence theory of truth presented in the sequences.
I recommend Peirce’s Making our Ideas Clear, Putnam’s Corresponding with Reality, and James’s The Will to Believe. Peirce and James can easily be found free online by searching and I can PM you Putnam if you want it.
