What does everyone in the modern world need to know?
Renowned psychologist Jordan B. Peterson's answer to this most difficult of questions uniquely combines the hard-won truths of ancient tradition with the stunning revelations of cutting-edge scientific research.
Humorous, surprising and informative, Dr. Peterson tells us why skateboarding boys and girls must be left alone, what terrible fate awaits those who criticize too easily, and why you should always pet a cat when you meet one on the street.
What does the nervous system of the lowly lobster have to tell us about standing up straight (with our shoulders back) and about success in life? Why did ancient Egyptians worship the capacity to pay careful attention as the highest of gods? What dreadful paths do people tread when they become resentful, arrogant and vengeful?
Dr. Peterson journeys broadly, discussing discipline, freedom, adventure and responsibility, distilling the world's wisdom into 12 practical and profound rules for life.
12 Rules for Life shatters the modern commonplaces of science, faith and human nature, while transforming and ennobling the mind and spirit of its readers.

The other thing is that he doesn't seem leave much space for criticism unless you've cleaned your room, so to speak. That would make any situation above criticism because maybe your room isn't as tidy as it ever should be. Criticism or feedback are insights into how things could be made better. Why would I or anyone else hold back on those just because I happened to have not shaved/vacuumed/eaten like a monk?
Full disclosure, I've seen this book do wonders for some friends, so it's definitely a good read if you're younger and your dad wasn't always around.
