What does everyone in the modern world need to know? Renowned psychologist Jordan B. Peterson's answer to this most difficult of questions uniquely combines the hard-won truths of ancient tradition with the stunning revelations of cutting-edge scientific research.

Humorous, surprising, and informative, Dr. Peterson tells us why skateboarding boys and girls must be left alone, what terrible fate awaits those who criticize too easily, and why you should always pet a cat when you meet one on the street.

What does the nervous system of the lowly lobster have to tell us about standing up straight (with our shoulders back) and about success in life? Why did ancient Egyptians worship the capacity to pay careful attention as the highest of gods? What dreadful paths do people tread when they become resentful, arrogant, and vengeful? Dr. Peterson journeys broadly, discussing discipline, freedom, adventure, and responsibility, distilling the world's wisdom into 12 practical and profound rules for life. 12 Rules for Life shatters the modern commonplaces of science, faith, and human nature while transforming and ennobling the mind and spirit of its listeners.

读后感

豆瓣评分8.0，确实是有参考价值的。 我对一本书好不好有自己的一个标准，就是自己记录的note多不多，这本书记录了三十多条，算是比较多了。证明有很多对自己有用的干货需要记录，需要重新手打一次来重温。 里面提到的十二个法则，谈得十分具体，有学术性研究报告的意味，作者是...

用户评价

老实说，真正让我下定决心读此书的原因是觉得作者挺帅 :) 读完之后明白了为什么他可以成为网红，也明白了为什么他会被一些人骂成狗。我觉得他字里行间的自恋偏执和满满的激情，大概是他长期对抗艰难家庭生活（女儿生病）的一种习得防御吧。不过除此以外，他的理念并不是没有道理，虽然有老生常谈的意思（保守派自由精英主义），但是对新一代野蛮生长的年轻人也算是有一定震撼力。

有些例子太容易被杠精反驳，但是主要思想值得关注。需要明白的是，整本书是由JP在qura上几年间的问答构建的，我想中国读者可能不会花时间去理解圣经对本书的影响；所以说这本书不是针对基督教圈以外的人，而这点会直接影响你对JP思想的理解。

伪成功学，毒鸡汤，快餐书。。。鉴定完毕

太啰嗦了，以及巨喜欢讲圣经故事。最关键的问题是，前后矛盾，刚刚才拿数据做论据，下一段就开始“every person is unique"，任何论点一碰到基督教义就开始妥协，圣经故事圆不过来就硬掰。总之是有了观点再四处搜罗论据的强盗逻辑。电视上看他谈话和辩论，比看这书有说服力多了，估计是有poise加成。
