Publisher's Synopsis
12 Rules For Life isn't just a book. As for his first one, Peterson spent years collecting and refining the ideas that would create a sort of blueprint for a good life.
So many people, especially in my demographic, are lacking a structure of how to navigate through the world, create their identity, and find their purpose within it. And this isn't just a problem with the younger demographics. But we're seeing this with more and more middle aged men and women lost in the chaos as well. So I'll be analysing this Dr Jordan B Peterson book while adding my own subjective interpretation on to it. And this is for the hope that it can help you through that process of finding your way through that chaos.
I won't be telling you how to live, or what to do, but just documenting my perspective through these rules. Now I've came to realize through my previous book summaries, that you may or may not, that hearing an alternate perspective can aid tremendously in facilitating a greater depth of understanding of more complex ideas. So it helps bridge the gap between the ambiguous and the misunderstood. And I hope this analysis book can help bridge that gap for both you and I.
This is a profound and deeply philosophical read that makes you think. Peterson draws on history, science, religion, and philosophy to show us why we do what we do and how we can all live better, more fulfilling lives in a chaotic and sometimes cruel world.
With thousands of people messaging Peterson how the book's changed their lives. Let's look at 3 of his 12 rules to begin to find out:
✓ Sweep in front of your own door before pointing out the street is dirty.
✓ Treat yourself like a child you're responsible for.
✓ Aim to do what is meaningful, not convenient.
These form the premise Peterson's book is built on and thus, the context for understanding why it's been such a success. Let's go!
