Description
In 12 Rules For Life: An Antidote To Chaos, Jordan B Peterson combines psychology, philosophy, religion, and mythology to examine how individuals can live more responsibly and meaningfully in a complex modern world. Drawing on his work as a clinical psychologist and academic, Peterson explores enduring ideas about order, chaos, suffering, and personal accountability. The book is framed around twelve practical principles, each addressing everyday challenges such as self-discipline, comparison, relationships, and moral responsibility. Set within a contemporary Western context shaped by rapid social change and political division, the work argues that meaning, rather than happiness, provides the most reliable foundation for a well-lived life. Peterson supports his ideas with examples from clinical practice, personal experience, scientific research, and ancient stories from the Bible and other mythological traditions. Written for a general adult audience interested in psychology, personal development, and cultural commentary, the book aims to help readers understand themselves more clearly and take responsibility for shaping their own lives.
