Publisher's Summary 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 listeners. ©2018 Jordan B. Peterson (P)2018 Random House Canada

The author has disguised his own prejudices, ego, delusions, and misinterpretation of life in a book that is supposedly a form of self help guidance. Random quips show that the author values the few over the many, and prove the author ignores the values of the religion he unnecessarily inundated the text with. There is little of value in this book that can't be found in a multitude of other books presenting the same information in a more concise and valuable form, not to mention in a way that doesn't falsely allude the true purpose of the story within.

This book is big on claims but very small on substance. There is no scientific data to back up the big claims. Most of the substance is backed up by citing the Bible or fiction novels. I was looking for something more substantial and scientific. Didn't find that here. The author makes gross generalizations and misses the mark. This could have been a good book but the author clearly has a biased approach and takes himself too seriously as the all knowing.

Maybe I missed something as I researched this book before buying, but the ratings don't compute for me. I may attempt getting a refund.

Can't believe the 19,000+ ratings giving it a 4.6.It was very difficult to get through the first 3 rules and couldn't finish the book, which is rare for me.Lots of circumferential writing and difficult to follow.

This book had a wide range of reviews. People either liked it or didn't. I am a bit in the middle but more favorable than not. Sometimes the author seemed to be close to yelling but mostly just really passionate. He could have been preaching from a pulpit. Often when talking about a rule, he would go off on a tangent and it was really distracting. Sometimes he would pull it all together and sometimes the tangent just seemed like drifting. I did like that his rules weren't always titled in a way that most self-help books would do. He got a bit out of the box and that kept my interest. The author has a keen intellect but perhaps needs to be a bit more succinct. I think I remember more about lobsters than the rule that he was speaking about. He brought in random stories that were not always woven into an understandable point. Even though I read the whole book, I cannot recall the 12 rules to recite them to someone else.

I disliked the book. I could hardly get through the introduction. I was so thoroughly disappointed with this book. I tried to finish it but I could barely get past the 3rd rule. The dichotomy of all the Male Vs Female energy and all the examples he gives to each rule are so long winded and way too academic. I was expecting something with more life and energy and instead he is boring, and the examples are so lengthy it’s easy to get lost into what he is saying. If you want to waste your time and try and struggle through getting through this dissertation go on ahead, but I’ll just read Napoleon Hill’s Your Right to Be Rich again. So disappointed.

If you could sum up 12 Rules for Life in three words, what would they be?A rational argument for common sense - except when its made from an overly religious perspective. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?A case for Christianity, made by a very smart, but very angry person. Any additional comments?I genuinely liked about 80% - and think Jordan's voice is extremely necessary in the world. I just didn't expect it to be an argument for Christianity, so was disappointed.

Started kind of exciting , but after a couple of chapters went completely downhill.No cohesive story. Full of random opinionated shoutouts, poorly constructed. "It is so, just because it IS". Surprising ending with absolutely no central point made. Just a summary of the chapters...Reminded of a random rant of a bored person, who is also very angry at the world.

This book distills much of the deep concepts of Jordan's lectures, which I have devoured on YouTube since discovering them in November 2017.As he articulates his hope for the readers in the epilogue, I have learned things I "already knew, but didn't know [I] knew".I have sought for a long time to put into logos to the amorphous thoughts and emotions that developed in the years surrounding my divorce.Again, as Jordan puts it, revelations in the present have changed my past by virtue of a new perspective.My history now is different - better, even - because of this wisdom.Buy this book!
