12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos by Jordan B. Peterson
3.0
When reading reviews about this book I would recommend keeping in mind that Jordan Peterson is deeply hated by a very loud sector of the population, and loved by another one. This introduces a huge bias since the former wants him to be wrong at any cost (someone here actually "reviewed" the book without reading it, based on the fact that he/she watched Peterson's youtube videos) and the latter will never concede that he might be wrong in some aspects.
This book is composed basically of 12 essays. Some more interesting than others, naturally.
Sometimes the biblical references and their following discussions are unnecessary, in my opinion, he could have made the same points go across without having to support them on his interpretations of biblical passages. This being said. It's not like the bible is everywhere around the corner in the book, as some reviews here make think.
In a sense, I think is a nice book that can lead you to read other authors following the same current of ideas. Which is kind of a relief, in a world were you get leftist/rightist propaganda so easily, at least it might show you that there are deeper thoughts than what everyone repeats over and over again.
