12 Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson Book Review (UNDER 5 MINUTES)

Jesus loves you❤️

hey Lamar i would consider re reading and studying the biblical references in the book. This book and the Bible go hand in hand- and thats for a very good reason. The Bible is the Ultimate book for how we should live our lives and to the fullest. if you are a fan of Jordan Peterson his psycological prowess on secular literature is only half of his significance and your missing out on him on a deeper level. If you cross-reference enough you would see how the Bible starts to make more and more sense and you would take in more of his lessons ten fold. Just a thought friend!

I’ve tease it and listened to it multiple times. In my opinion is a book of vague rambling

I would give it max 2/5, it can be a good kick in the butt to get organised, but most of it is just part of his larger christian-based propaganda. The worst rule is having to have your room in "perfect" order before daring to do anything else. Not only it is silly, it is also very hypocritical. Overall, bad book.

Great and what an underrated channel, keep up the good work man!

I agree got a sample but it was exhausting. The whole lobster and birds…I may try again in another time of my life. I’m def looking for quick read that teach me anything.

Trash book! I’m so bored and annoyed by it! Wasted money

12 rules for chaos OR Peterson's interpretation of the bible. Trash book from a trash salesman

JP ain’t all that intelligent, he just targets a gullible audience that are easily influenced and often feel they’re lacking something in life. Be that confidence, education etc.

said universi ee and university in under 10 seconds.... FAKE ACCENT

Genuine review…cheers man

He wasn't writing it in a religious way, he was writing it in reference to religion from psychology. If you reread those parts if you haven't already, then you will see that as long as you understand that

Jordan Peterson’s 12 rules for life - an appraisal.

Stand up straight with your shoulders straight. Unless you’re a peeping Tom and need to keep below that wall, otherwise that gorgeous, undressing next-door neighbour may spot you.
Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping. In other words, pick up your own smelly socks, don’t litter, and make your own fucking bed!
Befriend people who want the best for you. Well, this rests on your judgement of others’ character. If that’s shit, you’re fucked.
Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not the useless person you are today. This one totally contradicts the whole idea of self-improvement, for if I’m more useless today than I was yesterday, why am I even trying to self-improve?!
Do not let your children do anything that makes you dislike them. Well, this assumes that you’re such an insane parental control freak with such a fascistic sense of keeping another in order that it’s not even worth considering, if only to save your own soul. Besides, kids need to make their own mistakes, so tough-titty if the parents can’t take this.
Set your house in order before criticising the world. Well, if you’re a saint, perhaps. If you’re a messy flesh and blood human being then criticising the world is what gets most of us through the day, if the drugs aren’t working.
Pursue what is meaningful, not what is expedient. Yeah, but that makes the enormous, unfounded assumption that any of this means anything whatsoever.
Tell the truth, or at least don’t lie. I’m sorry, but that time my mother caught my porn stash under the bed, I had to lie and pin it on my twin brother, Tommy. Sometimes, lying just is the best policy and those who say otherwise are just liars.
Assume the person you are listening to knows something you don’t. Ok. But this one falls down when it comes to my bank PIN number.
Be precise in your speech. What ‘precise’ in one’s speech like Mr Jordan ‘why use 1 word when 21 will do?’ Peterson? Give me the conciseness of a Sam Harris any day. I’m sure Adam Sandler will concur.
Do not bother children while they are skateboarding. Unless, that is, they are skateboarding all over your prize flowerbeds; then you can not only ‘bother’ them, but collar them and let them feel your hot garlicky breath on their cheeks.
Pet a cat when you encounter one in the street. Unless, that is, the cat is frothing alarmingly at the mouth.

Now where’s my publishing deal?😳

If you want to buy into the right wing agenda that makes Jan 6 sound justifiable, look no further than Peterson.
The common sense life advice is laced with misappropriated biblical stories.
Using those to sell political propaganda is not ok.
Wake up America!

lovely to see a fellow english man admiring an impeccable canadian professor

Bro please do his new book and I agree with you 100% on the religious side it actually made to slow down whilst reading it Aka not reading it every night but the audiobook was better if you think this will be a problem for you As the book is very Christian valued based

I have just started reading this book but the pages and pages about the lobster just about did me in and yes I skipped a bunch of them. Then the last few pages of the chapter got my attention and made good sense. It is crazy how afraid people are of any mention of anything close to God and the Bible.

People don't read books that's why he's famous

It depends on your definition of "chaos" and "rules".

I think whatever you got out to the book, is great!

"I'm not a religious person"

Jordan Peterson would disagree

Great to the point review, thanks!

Reading this right now during my classes in highschool, on rule 6! It does seem to go back to religion for most things, now I’m not a religious person but it seems to be making me have more respect for people that are religious.

If you would read psychology books a lot, you would see, that those are like a "car manuals", which give you a great technique of behaviour and it's recognition, but pure psychology or "polite manner" literature doesn't answer deeper existance questions of the purpose of your life. Probably, for current consumer society it would be sufficient enough. They consumed nature, own bodies, mind... The problem is, that now we face the consequencies of that consumer behaviour: nature is ruined, bodies are "refashioned" with plastic surgery and abused with drugs, alcohol and binge eating, brains are messed up with new standarts, soon we will remodel humans with genetics and will ban to reproduce naturally, what else?
On another hand, we accept the world as much, as we dicover new things. For example, previously nobody would believe us about magnetic fields or electricity until we have got tools to prove it, the same with god - nobody believe in god existance because we haven't grown to that level. We can create protein, but cannot make it alive...

How to I find reading more interesting I really do get bored of books but I need to read them 🤣

I'm half way through this book and I'm enjoying it. However, the main problem I have is that some of the sentences are half a page long. Reading them starts to become tiresome.

I feel the same I'm about half way and I started to lose a little interest BUT still really like it .. I have to stop a Lot to think back on a lot of what he says and re evaluate how it pertains to me and my life . Also the religious references don't resonate with me as much either. Good review .

I am currently about 3/4's through the book. Love it so far! I think it strikes a great balance between introducing insightful concepts and fleshing them out with anecdotes and real life experiences. Great review!

Great book review! I was today years old when I found out about Jordan B. Peterson and this book.

Great review! Please check out the review on my channel as well

Great review on the book brother, I will have to go and check it out myself!
