weep 's review for:
12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos
by Jordan B. Peterson
DID NOT FINISH
★☆☆☆☆ - Jan 2nd 2025 (DID NOT FINISH (25%)
Figured if im setting myself a challenge to read a lot this year, I might as well enjoy it and make some reviews
I vaguely knew that Jordan Peterson was controversial but went into this with an open mind.
I actually liked the book initially. Its not a textbook its his opinion on life so its incredibly subjective and should not be taken as some irrefutable guidance.
I think the core "rules" aren't that controversial generally speaking and some are really nice.
But once he outlines the rules he rambles on. - I like a bit of ramble I enjoyed some of the biblical and evolutionary references but it was too much.
I saw some review that said its like he was getting paid per word and that's exactly what it felt like. I would read and read but go nowhere.
Some of his analogies v questionable but not shocking considering he seems to be stirring up quite a lot of controversy.
Long story short:
Rules are fine
The analogies are fun but go on too long
Highly Questionable Opinions but what do you expect
Its disappointing to have to give this 1 star because I actually enjoyed the first chapter a lot but it was a hard slog after that..
