12 Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson

168

 

Acclaimed clinical psychologist Jordan 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.

What must every individual in the contemporary world be acquainted with? In response to this complex inquiry, esteemed psychologist Jordan B. Peterson offers a distinctive amalgamation of time-honored truths from ancient tradition and the astonishing revelations brought forth by state-of-the-art scientific exploration.

With a blend of wit, astonishment, and insight, Dr. Peterson expounds on the reasons behind the necessity to grant skateboarders their autonomy, the dire consequences for those who critique excessively readily, and the rationale behind showing kindness to a cat encountered on the streets.

What lessons can we glean from the modest lobster’s nervous system about maintaining an erect posture (with shoulders squared) and achieving success in life? Why did the ancient Egyptians revere the ability to exercise meticulous attention as the ultimate divine quality? What perilous routes do individuals tread when they succumb to resentment, arrogance, and vindictiveness? Dr. Peterson embarks on an extensive exploration, delving into themes of discipline, freedom, adventure, and accountability. He distills the collective wisdom of the world into twelve practical yet profound principles for leading a fulfilling life.

“12 Rules for Life” disrupts the conventional viewpoints of contemporary society concerning science, faith, and human nature. It redefines these perspectives, elevating and enriching the intellect and spirit of its audience.
