What does everyone in the modern world need to know?
Renowned psychologist Jordan B. Peterson's answer to this most difficult of questions uniquely combines the hard-won truths of ancient tradition with the stunning revelations of cutting-edge scientific research.
Humorous, surprising and informative, Dr. Peterson tells us why skateboarding boys and girls must be left alone, what terrible fate awaits those who criticize too easily, and why you should always pet a cat when you meet one on the street.
What does the nervous system of the lowly lobster have to tell us about standing up straight (with our shoulders back) and about success in life? Why did ancient Egyptians worship the capacity to pay careful attention as the highest of gods? What dreadful paths do people tread when they become resentful, arrogant and vengeful?
Dr. Peterson journeys broadly, discussing discipline, freedom, adventure and responsibility, distilling the world's wisdom into 12 practical and profound rules for life. 12 Rules for Life shatters the modern commonplaces of science, faith and human nature, while transforming and ennobling the mind and spirit of its readers.
Customer Reviews
Captivating.
I listened only to the sample. And that was enough for me to know that I need to buy this book. A previous reviewer rambled about how relevant some of the things are in this audiobook but the amount that you spend is less than 10 coffees. So go ahead.
One of the worst books
About 200 ”pages” too long. The explanations have little to do with the rules themselves and the book is full of adderall-induced rambling about humans behaving like animals, women being inferior and Bible references. The author also has a tendency of implying certain things, such as human dominance hierarchies, without explaining them further, but rather using weird animal comparisons without any direct scientific evidence to back up his comparisons.
Some of the advice is very helpful, but it is often buried underneath stories about something entirely irrelevant and forcibly ”intellectual” or biblical.
