How should we live properly in a world of chaos and uncertainty?

Jordan Peterson has helped millions of people, young and old, men and women, aim at a life of responsibility and meaning. Now he can help you.

Drawing on his own work as a clinical psychologist and on lessons from humanity's oldest myths and stories, Peterson offers twelve profound and realistic principles to live by. After all, as he reminds us, we each have a vital role to play in the unfolding destiny of the world.

Deep, rewarding and enlightening, 12 Rules for Life is a lifeboat built solidly for stormy seas: ancient wisdom applied to our contemporary problems.

Critic Reviews

Genuinely extraordinary... Unmatched by any other modern thinker ... A prophet for our times (Dominic Sandbrook)
The most influential public intellectual in the Western world right now
Everyone must read 12 Rules For Life... The most enlightening book I have read in ages. Google him if you like, if it makes you feel better. It will, by the way. But get the book, that is the most important thing. And then read it. And then pass it on to a friend (Chris Evans)
In a different intellectual league... Peterson can take the most difficult ideas and make them entertaining. This may be why his YouTube videos have had 35m views. He is fast becoming the closest that academia has to a rock star
Charismatic and exceptionally articulate.... Peterson is a new kind of public intellectual, using YouTube to spread ideas infinitely wider than predecessors such as Bertrand Russell or Isaiah Berlin (Amol Rajan)
Anyone who is in a position of leadership would find it very insightful ... Jordan Peterson is a profound writer (Gina Miller)
It is that rare thing: self-help that might actually be helpful
Fascinating ... Peterson is brilliant on many subjects (Bryan Appleyard)
One of the most eclectic and stimulating public intellectuals at large today, fearless and impassioned (Matthew d'Ancona)
Profound, charismatic and serious... One of the most important thinkers to emerge on the world stage for many years (Tim Lott)
All stars

The book contains many references to Bible which may be a bit hindrance to listeners of different cultures. One does get the point from the Bible references but there might be differing opinions and points in other cultures. Overall a very good book.
The narration by the man himself is beyond excellent.

Very helpful..

This book is not some kind of cheap self-help book you find everytime you are in a bookstore. The author is offering the reader a set of rules that is not anything new, but his explanations of the importance of the rules are very powerful. Some people term his explanations a "rambling", well I would call it his conviction on the subject.

Quite a time I digressed because of his biblical references.

If you are just looking for 12 checkbox rules, this book is not for you! If you are patient enough you'll for sure get more than 12 takeaways by the end of the book.

Not an easy read/listen, but worth it!
