theboso 's review for:
12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos
by Jordan B. Peterson
Lots of mixed reviews on here. I'm firmly in the middle. Lots of useful advice in the book, but I didn't like some of the preaching tone - I'll give a few specific examples:
1. Boys vs. girls - and letting men be men. While I agreed with the principle of what the author was saying, I felt he was preaching a bit too much.
2. His views on socialism came out a few times - and was very condescending.
Some people have talked about him using blibical stories - I felt he drew on ancient wisdoms in the bible/Torah without preaching too much.
The 12 rules are useful, practical and will definitely make a difference in my life. But the tone of the author made it hard to swallow.
My (very humble) opinion.
