What are the most valuable things that everyone should know?

Acclaimed clinical psychologist Jordan B Peterson has influenced the modern understanding of personality, and now he has become one of the world's most popular public thinkers, with his lectures on topics from the Bible to romantic relationships to mythology drawing tens of millions of viewers. In an era of unprecedented change and polarizing politics, his frank and refreshing message about the value of individual responsibility and ancient wisdom has resonated around the world.

In this book, he provides twelve profound and practical principles for how to live a meaningful life, from setting your house in order before criticising others to comparing yourself to who you were yesterday, not someone else today. Happiness is a pointless goal, he shows us. Instead we must search for meaning, not for its own sake, but as a defence against the suffering that is intrinsic to our existence.

Drawing on vivid examples from the author's clinical practice and personal life, cutting-edge psychology and philosophy, and lessons from humanity's oldest myths and stories, 12 Rules for Life offers a deeply rewarding antidote to the chaos in our lives: eternal truths applied to our modern problems.

This book was an absolute pleasure to listen to.
heartfelt, charming and relatable; it's definitely worth checking out.
A lot of it is quite basic and appears to be obvious at first glance, but be sure to pay close attention to the hidden gems that lie in every "life rule"
don't be fooled by the name. The advice is genuine and thought provoking, especially when one of these principles hits close to home

enjoy :)

I liked the practical advice but there was nothing mind-blowing and new philosophically It is overall just a point to the facts, studies, and scripture that suggest that the old ways are still valid and should not be totally discarded in the name of "progress." That the key to a fulfilled life is still majorly based on the principles that have been followed throughout western history and points to truthfulness and competence as the main virtues ensuring success. References a lot of history, the bible, and clinical psychology to make some solid arguments to this end. Well written and read by the man himself. I would recommend to those who want motivation without any of the "new age" ego building. A familiarity with and appreciation of The Bible would probably help too. Its motivation through understanding.

It was alright.
