Summary
Jordan B. Peterson: 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos
In language full of humor, surprise and wisdom, Dr. Peterson teaches us why we should leave girls and boys who ride skateboards alone, what sinister fate awaits people who lightly and vigorously criticize others, and of course, why you should pet every cat you meet on the street. What does our nervous system have in common with lobsters, what can lobsters tell us about upright posture and what does it have to do with successful people? Why did the ancient Egyptians exalt the ability to pay close attention as the highest divine ideal? What ominous paths do people tread who become resentful, arrogant and vengeful? The research of Dr. Peterson takes us on a long journey, examining the concepts of discipline, freedom and responsibility, breaking down the world's ancient wisdom into 12 practical, insightful and refined rules for living. 12 Rules for Life break the banalities of science, religion and human nature and transform them into lessons that ennoble the mind and spirit of all those who dare to apply them in their lives.
