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.

Understand yourself
On one hand you’re the most complex thing ever existed, on the other hand you struggle with resetting the clock on your microwave!
I owe a lot of respect and self esteem to this beautifully written book! I heard it so many times, and will do that some more.

What are you looking for?
I decided to name this title
something I was looking for. A sign. Where was I going? Why? What’s left of me? So I wake up everyday now, better than I was the day before. I understand now it’s not what I’m listening to but that I am listening to something. I put this on every morning to find purpose, greater than the hardened steel shovel that the earth has given my sweat ridden hands. Thats all in need at this time.
