![]() ![]() JP is great at interviews and performs the reading of his book well, in a way that sounds engaging. Strongly recommend this book to anyone looking to gather more meaning and understanding of this thing we call “Life.” All in all, the author does a great job in enunciating effectively and keeping the listener engaged. You have to really pay attention to what he is saying at some points to really gather the meaning. Having said this, Peterson is well learned and articulate with words, and is not afraid to use his knowledge of the English language in the book.

Peterson journeys broadly, discussing discipline, freedom, adventure, and responsibility, distilling the world's wisdom into 12 practical and profound rules for life.

Why did ancient Egyptians worship the capacity to pay careful attention as the highest of gods? What dreadful paths do people tread when they become resentful, arrogant, and vengeful? Dr. Peterson tells us why skateboarding boys and girls must be left alone, what terrible fate awaits those who criticize too easily, and why you should always pet a cat when you meet one on the street. Humorous, surprising, and informative, Dr. Peterson's answer to this most difficult of questions uniquely combines the hard-won truths of ancient tradition with the stunning revelations of cutting-edge scientific research.
