12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos

A Roadmap for Meaning in a Chaotic World

12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos by Jordan B. Peterson is a landmark work of practical philosophy that has transformed millions of lives worldwide. Drawing on ancient wisdom, cutting-edge psychology, and personal anecdotes, Peterson offers twelve profound principles to help you navigate the complexities of modern existence.

What's Inside

• Stand up straight with your shoulders back — and why posture signals more than confidence
• Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping
• Make friends with people who want the best for you
• Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today
• Do not let your children do anything that makes you dislike them
• Set your house in perfect order before you criticise the world
• Pursue what is meaningful, not what is expedient
• Tell the truth — or, at least, don't lie
• Assume that the person you are listening to might know something you don't
• Be precise in your speech
• Do not bother children when they are skateboarding
• Pet a cat when you encounter one on the street
