(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.
