12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos by Jordan B. Peterson
1.0
Having read all the way up to the final "rule" I put up with way more of this book that I should have, than anyone should have to really.
With no respect for the reader's time the author engages in lengthy rambles and rants that don't always connect meaningfully to the actual rule of the chapter, weird ass analogies and condemnations of basic human decency and respect that I just can't get behind.
I saw someone comment once that if you strip the book of its verbosity and redundancy you'd be left with 12 simple ideas that don't merit such long and "out there" explanations and I feel like that might very well be true.
And maybe that's what you'd be better off doing, the 12 rules themselves are rather self evident, except for maybe the 11th one which Peterson conveniently uses to get across his most controversial beliefs, so you'd save yourself a lot of time if you read up on 12 rules individually, which are very basic and can probably be found anywhere that offers advice, and come to terms with what they mean for yourself with none of Peterson's weirder biases attached.
Book sucks.
