12 Rules for Life became a number one national and international best seller for a simple reason: Dr. Peterson unearths archetypal principles that shape our lives without our knowing. 

He first observes that order and chaos are the two primordial forces of the cosmos. Chaos is the realm of limitless possibilities, unsuitable for life. It is where depression, anxiety, and suffering find a home. Order, on the other hand, is the world of rules, predictability, explanations, science, and conformity. 

In the 12 Rules for Life, Dr. Peterson offers a roadmap to navigate these polar forces. The antidote to chaos is not merely order - it comes down to understanding the subtleties of life, realizing that virtue lies in the balance of the two extremes, and developing your own skills at the game. 

Whether you are an overachiever burning through life, an underachiever with perpetual overwhelm, or an intellectual, seeking deeper truths of human nature, this book is for you. 

The 12 Rules cover a broad spectrum where you will find advice on how to manage your thoughts and emotions, how to thrive, how to get along with others, and how to find a sense of meaning in life.
