ReviewsPraise for Jordan Peterson: "Jordan Peterson is the most important and influential Canadian thinker since Marshall McLuhan. His international fame and impact continue to grow exponentially. Peterson's bold interdisciplinary synthesis of psychology, anthropology, science, politics and comparative religion is forming the template for the genuinely humanistic university of the future." --Camille Paglia "Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life hits home--from identifying the deeply engrained hierarchical ladder that motivates our decision making to asking indispensable and sometimes politically unpopular questions about your life and suggesting ways to better it. If that's not enough, its first twenty pages give a summary of evolutionary psychology that's breathtaking." --Howard Bloom, author of The Lucifer Principle "Firm but caring. . . . Peterson speaks the way I always wished my father had. . . . He is the right man at the right time, someone capable of showing young men that cleaning up their room has cosmic significance, and that imposing a little order upon chaos is good for the soul, which in turn is good for the world."-- National Review "One of the most important thinkers to emerge on the world stage for many years." -- The Spectator

SynopsisOVER TEN MILLION COPIES SOLD #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER What are the most valuable things that everyone should know? Acclaimed clinical psychologist Jordan B Peterson has influenced the modern understanding of personality, and now he has become one of the world's most popular public thinkers, with his lectures on topics from the Bible to romantic relationships to mythology drawing tens of millions of viewers. In an era of unprecedented change and polarizing politics, his frank and refreshing message about the value of individual responsibility and ancient wisdom has resonated around the world. In this book, he provides twelve profound and practical principles for how to live a meaningful life, from setting your house in order before criticising others to comparing yourself to who you were yesterday, not someone else today. Happiness is a pointless goal, he shows us. Instead we must search for meaning, not for its own sake, but as a defence against the suffering that is intrinsic to our existence. Drawing on vivid examples from the author's clinical practice and personal life, cutting-edge psychology and philosophy, and lessons from humanity's oldest myths and stories, 12 Rules for Life offers a deeply rewarding antidote to the chaos in our lives: eternal truths applied to our modern problems., #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER 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.

Required Reading!
Don't let the title fool you. This is NOT another 'quick fix' or 'three easy steps to become what you always dreamed'. This is MEATY stuff, but will provide deep insights and 'food for thought' into 'rules' to help deal with the chaos facing everyone living in the 21st century. Read the Forward, too; it will give you insight into the author, Jordan Peterson. I highly recommend this book to everyone, and have bought additional copies for family and friends. A MUST read.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Conservative claptrap
The book is about making yourself feel better. Nothing about healing the world's problems. Very isolationist theology. Make yourself feel good and to hell with the rest of the world. When he actually talks about the science of neuroscience it is interesting but when he puts his belief system on top of that it is just conservative claptrap.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Thought provoking, common sense and compelling read
I thought I was getting a book when I ordered this and was a little peeved that it was audio files/ebook files, but I am really enjoying listening to the audio book and following along in the ebook files. I love that the author does the narration. Very compelling and common sense content with amazing anecdotes and examples of the 12 rules ... very thought provoking!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Depressed? Tired of hate? Read this book!
This is an easy to read book that everyone should read. The 12 rules are guidelines for living a happy meaningful life. Any living parent should read this book and raise their children by these principles. The world would be a better place for it. Jordan Peterson is a breath of fresh air with clarity of thought and an intelligent approach to life. He is a psychologist with a scientific approach to the answers for the many problems facing the world today.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

A good source for personal growth: Ebay suggestion: "Lightweight with great features" (true I suppose)
Dr. Peterson's book is a wonderful source for basic wisdom and personal reflection. He bases his conclusions on personal experiences, authors and philosophers from the past and his time with individuals who he's assisted as a clinical psychologist. [On a side and unrelated note, Ebay says of my 5 star rating, 'awesome sauce'. I would never ever ever never use this term to refer to anything unless I had a sauce on my plate to eat with a meal that is awesome.] Lightweight and great features: It only weighs 1lbs 7.4oz It has art and titles to signify chapter progression There are page numbers for reference purposes Various thoughts and examples are divided into paragraphs to enhance the reader's comprehension and appreciation for Dr. Peterson's work There's a nice jacket to keep the book in good condition

Good reading for sons
It is written slightly lengthy for our our time. Yet - Personal view: It is good reading, for sons, if conveyancing of common sense / values are desired. In line with the excellent knowledge, clear and easy to understand ( even for non- academic audience) delivery of his lectures. I am looking forward to more literature from Prof. J. PetersonVerified purchase: YesCondition: New
