Don't let the title fool you. This is NOT another 'quick fix' or 'three easy steps to become what you always dreamed'. This is MEATY stuff, but will provide deep insights and 'food for thought' into 'rules' to help deal with the chaos facing everyone living in the 21st century. Read the Forward, too; it will give you insight into the author, Jordan Peterson. I highly recommend this book to everyone, and have bought additional copies for family and friends. A MUST read.

The book is about making yourself feel better. Nothing about healing the world's problems. Very isolationist theology. Make yourself feel good and to hell with the rest of the world. When he actually talks about the science of neuroscience it is interesting but when he puts his belief system on top of that it is just conservative claptrap.

I thought I was getting a book when I ordered this and was a little peeved that it was audio files/ebook files, but I am really enjoying listening to the audio book and following along in the ebook files. I love that the author does the narration. Very compelling and common sense content with amazing anecdotes and examples of the 12 rules ... very thought provoking!

Dr. Peterson's book is a wonderful source for basic wisdom and personal reflection. He bases his conclusions on personal experiences, authors and philosophers from the past and his time with individuals who he's assisted as a clinical psychologist.

I would never ever ever never use this term to refer to anything unless I had a sauce on my plate to eat with a meal that is awesome.] Lightweight and great features: It only weighs 1lbs 7.4oz It has art and titles to signify chapter progression There are page numbers for reference purposes Various thoughts and examples are divided into paragraphs to enhance the reader's comprehension and appreciation for Dr. Peterson's work There's a nice jacket to keep the book in good condition Read full review

It is written slightly lengthy for our our time. Yet - Personal view: It is good reading, for sons, if conveyancing of common sense / values are desired. In line with the excellent knowledge, clear and easy to understand ( even for non- academic audience) delivery of his lectures. I am looking forward to more literature from Prof. J. Peterson

Some chapters are 'heavy', some are 'light' - overall some very key important guidelines that the author has learned from his vast clinical experiences.
