What does everyone in the modern world need to know?

Renowned psychologist Jordan B. Peterson's answer to this most difficult of questions uniquely combines the hard-won truths of ancient tradition with the stunning revelations of cutting-edge scientific research.

Humorous, surprising and informative, Dr. Peterson tells us why skateboarding boys and girls must be left alone, what terrible fate awaits those who criticize too easily, and why you should always pet a cat when you meet one on the street.

What does the nervous system of the lowly lobster have to tell us about standing up straight (with our shoulders back) and about success in life?

Why did ancient Egyptians worship the capacity to pay careful attention as the highest of gods? What dreadful paths do people tread when they become resentful, arrogant and vengeful?

Dr. Peterson journeys broadly, discussing discipline, freedom, adventure and responsibility, distilling the world's wisdom into 12 practical and profound rules for life.

12 Rules for Life shatters the modern commonplaces of science, faith and human nature, while transforming and ennobling the mind and spirit of its readers.

Jordan B. Peterson

Jordan B. Peterson, raised in the frigid wastelands of Northern Alberta, has flown a hammer-head roll in a carbon-fiber stunt-plane, built a Native American longhouse in his Toronto home, and been inducted into the coastal Pacific Kwakwaka'wakw tribe.

He's taught mythology to lawyers, doctors and business people, consulted for the UN Secretary General, helped his clinical clients manage depression and anxiety, and lectured extensively in North America and Europe. With his students and colleagues at Harvard and the University of Toronto, Dr. Peterson has published over a hundred scientific papers, transforming the modern understanding of personality, and his book Maps of Meaning revolutionized the psychology of religion.

Now a tenured professor at the University of Toronto, where he is regarded by his students as one of three truly life-changing teachers, he was also nominated for Harvard's prestigious Levinson Teaching Prize.

This was worth reading. It is well structured, and argues that "ancient wisdom" is applicable today which in many contexts makes sense. It is somewhat thought provoking, but not particularly novel.
