Publisher's Summary
Summary: 12 Rules for Life by Jordan B. Peterson: An Antidote to Chaos
(Disclaimer: This is NOT the original book. If you’re looking for the original book, it is available from Amazon and Audible.)
Called “one of the most important thinkers to emerge on the world stage for many years,” by The Spectator, Jordan B. Peterson's 12 Rules for Life is a truly thought-provoking read. How should we live in the modern world? Peterson aims to answer this question using his unique blend of ancient traditions, religion and scientific research from his many years as a clinical psychologist.
He does not shy away from the hard questions and controversial topics. White privilege, postmodernism, gender identity, and the source of the world's greatest evils are all discussed. It should not be forgotten amid his controversial opinions that Peterson has over 20 years’ experience as a psychologist and offers countless nuggets of wisdom on living a better life throughout.
Peterson journeys broadly, providing advice on confidence, dominance, communication, discipline, meaning and so much more. If you want to live a better life, read this book, study it - then live it.
Why should you always pet a cat when you meet one in the street?
What can we learn from lobsters about success in life?
What terrible fate awaits those who criticize all the time?

It takes the average person 49.5 minutes to read 9000 words.
For the price of a coffee and a time investment of roughly 2 percent of your day, I believe the wisdom in this book to be well worth it's value. This book allows you to skip to the nuggets of wisdom and actionable content in a very easily absorbed, listenable way, including key takeaways at the end of each chapter. Save yourself time and money.

Took a long time before I would listen
But as Mr. Peterson says always treat people like thay might know somerhing you don't. Turns out we are on the same page and I shoulda read or listened to this a long time ago for confirmation of alot of things I believe and to pick up some new jewels. great job on the summary.

Good overview, much easier than the full book!
The full book is very long and has a lot of content that doesn't fully add to the content. This is great summary and a real time saver!

I follow Jordan online and was excited to jump into the book. I'd heard a lot about it and it didn't disappoint. Definitely not the last I will enjoy this one.

Informative and Easy to Understand!
It was perfect that after every chapter there were the 'key takeaways', easily defined to follow.
If you get weirded out by the biblical reference, don't. They are just tools and examples used to help us understand what J.P. is trying to get across.
Gifted this Summary version to two of my closest friends.
Will be purchasing the full version!

Recommend this to anyone of any age.
I am a 17-year-old senior in high school, and I am taking my time with this audio book for sure. So far, the first two rules are absolutely amazing and I have implemented them fully. I love Jordan Peterson, and I can't wait to finish this audio book. I would seriously recommend this to anyone of any age.

Great audio book and very helpful!
Great audio book and very helpful for putting your life in the right direction if you need to. I like how Jordan incorporates biblical references. You don't have to believe in anything to understand you just need to understand perspective and have an open mind.

A good summary of a fantastic book.
This was a very unique, life changing book for me. Jordan Peterson has a unique ability to be able to break apart chaos and find order inside of it. 12 rules for life will bring a sense of understanding to Anyone who reads it. As long as they are honest with them self. It should be required reading in every high school classroom. this summary by David is a good quick read to get the overall understanding of the book but can and no way replace the actual book by Jordan Peterson.

My eyes are not what they used to be so I have switched to mostly audibles. However, sometimes while listening to the longer versions my mind will wonder some. This summary helped for focusing on key points I may otherwise miss. Thank you.

Great tool for parents, educators and everyone who stands for betterment of humanity.
Articulating and exposing our inner struggles, and crucial points of human nature it shows what mature human looks like. One thing I noticed is this book gives strength and courage. This book should be a required school reading.
