How to achieve a fulfilled, free life. First, create order in your own home, recommends the Canadian psychology professor and bestselling author. How can we survive in the modern world? Bestselling author Jordan B. Peterson answers this question humorously, surprisingly, and informatively. He explains why we should let children skateboard alone, the cruel fate that befalls those who criticize everything too quickly, and why we should always pet the cats we encounter on the street. But what does the nervous system of a lobster tell us about our chances of success in life? Dr. Peterson discusses concepts such as discipline, freedom, adventure, and responsibility, condensing the truth and wisdom of the world into twelve practical life rules. Twelve maxims that offer guidance and support in our increasingly complex world and may inspire further reflection, such as: Clean your room before you criticize the world. Tell the truth – or at least don’t lie. Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today. The global bestseller "12 Rules for Life" has been translated into over 45 languages.
