12 Rules for Life

What are the most valuable things that everyone should know? Acclaimed clinical psychologist Jordan B. Peterson offers twelve profound and practical principles for living a meaningful life. Drawing on clinical practice and personal experience, cutting-edge psychology and philosophy, and lessons from humanity's oldest myths and stories, he shows how to set your house in order before criticizing others and to compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to someone else today. He argues that happiness is a pointless goal; instead we must search for meaning as a defense against the suffering intrinsic to human existence. 12 Rules for Life offers a deeply rewarding antidote to the chaos of modern life by applying eternal truths to contemporary problems.
