Summary

Summary: 12 Rules for Life by Jordan B. Peterson: An Antidote to Chaos 

(Disclaimer: This is NOT the original book. If you’re looking for the original book, it is available from Amazon and Audible.)

Called “one of the most important thinkers to emerge on the world stage for many years,” by The Spectator, Jordan B. Peterson's 12 Rules for Life is a truly thought-provoking read. How should we live in the modern world? Peterson aims to answer this question using his unique blend of ancient traditions, religion and scientific research from his many years as a clinical psychologist. 

He does not shy away from the hard questions and controversial topics. White privilege, postmodernism, gender identity, and the source of the world's greatest evils are all discussed. It should not be forgotten amid his controversial opinions that Peterson has over 20 years’ experience as a psychologist and offers countless nuggets of wisdom on living a better life throughout. 

Peterson journeys broadly, providing advice on confidence, dominance, communication, discipline, meaning and so much more. If you want to live a better life, read this book, study it - then live it. 

Why should you always pet a cat when you meet one in the street?

What can we learn from lobsters about success in life?

What terrible fate awaits those who criticize all the time?

Listen to find out!

It takes the average person 49.5 minutes to read 9000 words.

For the price of a coffee and a time investment of roughly 2 percent of your day, I believe the wisdom in this book to be well worth it's value. This book allows you to skip to the nuggets of wisdom and actionable content in a very easily absorbed, listenable way, including key takeaways at the end of each chapter. Save yourself time and money.

straight to the point

I was debating ordering the full version, having been on my journey for over 11 years, the majority of this was basic common sense but its spoken in a way that the masses can understand it. I prefer audio books at a hour to two hours long so this was perfect, I appreciate how the longer version would go into greater details and if you are scientifically minded and need yo know exactly how things are then I suggest you order it. if like me you feel you are ahead on this journey we call life and appreciate everything in it the good with the bad ect, then this book is for you it's a great recap on probably 20 or so books I've read regarding life, Wayne Dyer, ram dass, joe Vitale ect so if you like these types of authors you will also like this, straight to the point less than a hour great price 5 stars
