YouTube's pre-eminent "Father Figure" is the voice of reason a generation has been longing to hear.
in 2017, dr. jordan b. peterson became one of the world's most popular public thinkers, after decades serving his clients as a clinical psychologist and inspiring his students as a celebrated professor at Harvard and the University of Toronto. His YouTube lectures describing the deep connections between neuroscience, psychology and the oldest stories of humanity draw over a hundred million viewers from around the world, as do his firm but nuanced messages about personal responsibility and the meaning it bestows upon life. In a time of unprecedented change, when family structures are collapsing, education is degenerating into indoctrination, and political society is dangerously polarizing, 12 Rules for Life offers an antidote: the truth—some very ancient truth, applied to life's very modern problems.
In this humorous, surprising and informative book, Dr. Peterson tells us what we can learn from the nervous system of the lowly lobster about standing up straight (with our shoulders back) and moving confidently through life; why you should never let your children do anything that makes you dislike them; why the ancient Egyptians so revered the capacity to pay attention that they worshipped it in the form of a god. Peterson discusses discipline, courage and the necessity of clear, truthful thinking, distilling the discoveries of science and lessons from the great myths of the world into twelve profound directives for living properly within the order and chaos of our lives.
Join those who have already found inspiration and direction in Dr. Peterson's teachings. Discover in this book of exceptional power the simple yet profound rules for sorting yourself out, setting your house in order, and improving the world by first improving yourself.

"Jordan Peterson is the most important and influential Canadian thinker since Marshall McLuhan. His international fame and impact continue to grow exponentially. Peterson's bold interdisciplinary synthesis of psychology anthropology science, politics and comparative religion is forming the template for the genuinely humanistic university of the future."
Camille Paglia
"Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life hits home—from identifying the deeply engrained hierarchical ladder that motivates our decision making to asking indispensable and sometimes politically unpopular questions about your life and suggesting ways to better it. If that's not enough, its first twenty pages give a summary of evolutionary psychology that's breathtaking."
Howard Bloom, author of The Lucifer Principle
"Firm but caring____Peterson speaks the way I always wished my father
had____He is the right man at the right time, someone capable of
showing young men that cleaning up their room has cosmic significance, and that imposing a little order upon chaos is good for the soul, which in turn is good for the world."
