Publisher's Summary

Summary: 12 Rules for Life by Jordan B. Peterson: An Antidote to Chaos 

(Disclaimer: This is NOT the original book. If you’re looking for the original book, it is available from Amazon and Audible.)

Called “one of the most important thinkers to emerge on the world stage for many years,” by The Spectator, Jordan B. Peterson's 12 Rules for Life is a truly thought-provoking read. How should we live in the modern world? Peterson aims to answer this question using his unique blend of ancient traditions, religion and scientific research from his many years as a clinical psychologist. 

He does not shy away from the hard questions and controversial topics. White privilege, postmodernism, gender identity, and the source of the world's greatest evils are all discussed. It should not be forgotten amid his controversial opinions that Peterson has over 20 years’ experience as a psychologist and offers countless nuggets of wisdom on living a better life throughout. 

Peterson journeys broadly, providing advice on confidence, dominance, communication, discipline, meaning and so much more. If you want to live a better life, read this book, study it - then live it. 

Why should you always pet a cat when you meet one in the street?

What can we learn from lobsters about success in life?

What terrible fate awaits those who criticize all the time?

It takes the average person 49.5 minutes to read 9000 words.

For the price of a coffee and a time investment of roughly 2 percent of your day, I believe the wisdom in this book to be well worth it's value. This book allows you to skip to the nuggets of wisdom and actionable content in a very easily absorbed, listenable way, including key takeaways at the end of each chapter. Save yourself time and money.

In a nutshell: Good read

Firstly, I have not gone through the original book. Found it daunting prospect due to its sheer length.
The summary was crisp, without losing the overall perspective. Listened over and over small 5 minutes chapters each having a single rule till the meaning was clearer.
Recommended for anyone who is having crunch of time but want to go through these golden nuggets.

How I used this summary and what I found useful

I listened to the entire summary and then continued to read the book. Ever since, I was able to better comprehend the Rules. Furthermore, the idea of writing key takeaways after each chapter was ingenious. I recommend this high-quality summary for everyone who found the book difficult to understand.

(Extra) For the potential readers: I am going to continue the book from chapter 2 now , but you can use the summary even before reading the book.

Too many Biblical references

I wanted to listen to it after I saw the you tube video. this is more like a book on Christian principles than a book on psychology. As a non Christian I was completely lost in the maze of biblical references and examples. everything is tied to book of genesis, Adam and eve and other stories. I would not recommend this book to anyone who is not a believer and a Christian.
