Jordan Peterson's work as a clinical psychologist has reshaped the modern understanding of personality, and now he has become one of the world's most popular public thinkers, with his lectures on topics ranging from the Bible to romantic relationships drawing tens of millions of viewers. In an era of polarizing politics, echo chambers and trigger warnings, his startling message about the value of personal responsibility and the dangers of ideology has resonated around the world.

In this book, he combines ancient wisdom with decades of experience to provide twelve profound and challenging principles for how to live a meaningful life, from setting your house in order before criticising others to comparing yourself to who you were yesterday, not someone else today. Gripping, thought-provoking and deeply rewarding, 12 Rules for Life offers an antidote to the chaos in our lives- eternal truths applied to our modern problems.

A Good book but a bit over hyped.

30 November 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This book sprung from a list of 40 brief rules that Jordan Peterson wrote on quora. The list itself is freely available and worth a read in itself. Some rules will speak more to people than others. Some will seem a little obscure. It is against this backdrop that i bought this book pretty much immediately on kindle as soon as it was released about 10 months ago. That and i had been watching bits and pieces of his maps of meaning lectures on youtube at the time.

So what do i think of the book? Its not a classic, its just good. Peterson does meander a bit and go off and tangents. Many times when i was reading 12 rules i found myself asking what has this got to do with the actual rule at the start of the chapter. But thats just his style if you happen to watch his youtube lectures. Petersons will be talking about one thing and then go off on a tangent and all of a sudden be talking about something completely different. But the thing with his lectures is that his deliver is rather good that you are not necessarily aware that he just flipped topics on you. He can weave a slightly hypnotic spell when speaking. But with writing Jordan doesnt have the same delivery punch and it becomes a bit more obvious that he is changing topics and waffling on. To me there was a lot of filler in this book and it really could have been a lot shorter and more to the point. In fact i think it really needed to be.

There is also the issue of hype surrounding Jordan Peterson that i have become increasingly uncomfortable with. Some people will have you believe he is one of the greatest minds of our time which i just cant agree with, especially when i see him talk on topics outside his area of expertise, or politics, or in debate with someone as smart as sam harris who can pull him up quickly when he starts to obfuscate and go off on tangents. At times the atmosphere around Jordan can all feel rather cult like and this makes me uncomfortable and wary. But in the end i would say its a good book with some useful advice and anecdotes. Go read his 40 rules list first and watch some of his youtube interviews and lectures. Then buy the book. I personally got more out of the former than the latter but who knows you may be different

Insightful, inspiring ... but ....

21 May 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Full of insights where I frequently paused myself to repeat them and commit them to memory. I really enjoyed (and learnt from) the chapters where Peterson uses personal experience or scientific findings.
However, I did not enjoy (nor was convinced by) the chapters/sections that were metaphysical or religiously based.
Perhaps this is a personal thing, but I dont 'get' all of this (re)interpreting the 'meaning' of religious texts.
You'd have to read the book to see what i mean (or see where I've misunderstood) but I would seriously say persevere with the whole thing because there are some absolute gems of wisdom here.

This book spoke to me.

4 May 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

As I was reading 12 Rules for Life I was stunned as to how many times it seemed to speak to my soul. I have had many truly horrible experiences in my life and Dr Peterson has been able to, in this book, help me understand how my life turned out the way it did.
However I have been on the road to recovery in the last few years and was pleased to read that I was already following his antidote to chaos in my own way.
To any one whose life is not turning out the way it should, read this book. It will help you take stock and give you hope that you too can navigate through life's joys and tragedies with confidence.

Very Impressive!

23 June 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

An important work focussing on character, not personality. A witty, emotive, delightfully meandering presentation of why society has and could continue to deteriorate in terms of increasingly superficial perspectives, lazy thinking and disrespectful behaviours.

Psychological theory is placed into context with humanity’s mythical, religious and philosophical framework, alongside clinical and personal experiences that display the humour, sadness and, too often, horror of existence.

The tools offered within Petersen’s ‘rules’ can help us deepen our thinking, reduce extreme perspectives, become more self-aware and, critically, develop greater self-respect.

The single most powerful message I take from this book is for individuals to take complete responsibility for their own decisions, actions and outcomes.

Definitely worthwhile

I think it's a great book but maybe i'm just not the target audience. I think there is a lot of truth in what Peterson says but I didn't find it as mind blowing as a lot of people seem to. I'm pretty sure any bad reviews are from militant atheists who can't handle hearing any kind of theological reference without getting triggered.

Just brilliant and insightful

14 November 2018

Peterson writes as he speaks, with precision and elegance bathed in useful anecdotes, imagery, personal experience and insight. A fascinating read, I recommend taking this journey with this man endowed with a wealth of knowledge and life experience, which he easily synthesises into useful actions to live by. Pearls of wisdom, strength of character and guidance from an ethical standpoint make his book stand out in my mind as a companion I shall refer to for many years to come.

Brilliant, insightful & well constructed.

I wish I had this knowledge growing up, it would have saved me much angst, confusion, anger & sadness. There are so many aha moments for the reader, too many to mention. It's a mixture of religious doctrine (throughly thought out, analysed & explained) philosophy & modern psychology, with brutal honesty.

The author who has decades of experience at the highest levels of the mind. This book helps!

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Such a great piece of work. I am on my second reading of this book as there are so many vital bits of information, multiple reads are so useful. The
12 Rules show you how to stand on your own two feet and have the confidence to tackle the world.
Such an uplifting experience that has helped me so much. Highly recommended.
