12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos by Jordan B. Peterson
5.0
Most know Jordan B Peterson through his YouTube lectures series. I know him through my husband. Of all of the books I have read this year, "12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos" was my most challenging. I spent an entire week delving into the mind of this brilliant clinical psychologist as he explored twelve ways to live a life to its fullest potential.
Although I'm rating this book five stars, there were areas that hindered (and lost) me. But those are me falling short, not him. Most of those where when Peterson dug deeper into science, psychology, and the ideals behind modern and ancient religion and how those stories have survived as long as they have.
The best parts for me were when Peterson spoke stories of his life and that of his family and experiences he has had with his clients over the years. His stories are full of life and lessons to learn.
"12 Rules..." was a little wordy for me and I found it necessary to reread on multiple occasions in order to understand what was being told. Overall, this is an exceptional book, and I highly recommend it.
Happy Reading!
