For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life, wellness, and longevity. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why we suffer such devastating health consequences when we don't sleep. Compared to the other basic drives in life - eating, drinking, and reproducing - the purpose of sleep remained elusive.

Popular blogger Cal Newport reveals the new key to achieving success and true meaning in professional life: the ability to master distraction. Many modern knowledge workers now spend most of their brain power battling distraction and interruption, whether because of the incessant pinging of devices, noisy open-plan offices or the difficulty of deciding what deserves their attention the most. When Cal Newport coined the term deep work on his popular blog, Study Hacks, in 2012, he found the concept quickly hit a nerve.

あらすじ・解説
Brought to you by Penguin.
The audiobook edition of 12 Rules for Life, written and read by Jordan B. Peterson, asks what are the most valuable things that everyone should know?
Acclaimed clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson has influenced the modern understanding of personality, and now he has become one of the world's most popular public thinkers, with his lectures on topics from the Bible to romantic relationships to mythology drawing tens of millions of viewers. In an era of unprecedented change and polarising politics, his frank and refreshing message about the value of individual responsibility and ancient wisdom has resonated around the world.
In this audiobook, he provides twelve profound and practical principles for how to live a meaningful life, from setting your house in order before criticising others to comparing yourself to who you were yesterday, not someone else today. Happiness is a pointless goal, he shows us. Instead we must search for meaning, not for its own sake, but as a defence against the suffering that is intrinsic to our existence.
Drawing on vivid examples from his clinical practice and personal life, cutting edge psychology and philosophy, and lessons from humanity's oldest myths and stories, Peterson takes the reader on an intellectual journey like no other. Gripping, thought-provoking and deeply rewarding, 12 Rules for Life offers an antidote to the chaos in our lives: eternal truths applied to our modern problems.

This man, Jordan Peterson, is a damn good man.
Twelve rules for life, give me a break, sounds like every other useless feel good self help book. Not so fast - don't judge a book by its cover or its title for that matter. For me Jordan Peterson has shined his light on life itself and illuminated the dark corners of mine. I often pondered on those questions which seemed to me almost like pondering questions in physics or mathematics. But never have there been questions with more immediate implications not just for self but for mankind. A human being is a microcosm of mankind and how we as individuals choose to face the world, regardless of hard truths about our life, will decide how it continues or ends.

Life-changing in every sense of the word
This book has brought me joy, laughter and also tears, grief and profound sadness. Through the wisdom of ancient texts and personal anecdotes, doctor Peterson gave me courage to face my fear of responsibility, take my place in the world and improve the lives of those around me. The performance is deeply personal and precise as is the case with other Peterson's material. I hope I will return to this book for strength and inspiration whenever I need them most.

Jordan Peterson presents a refreshing voice of wisdom in a crowd of shrill hysteria and politically correct drivel.

Deep and enjoyable experience
Peterson goes all in in his effort to lay out his philosophy in a form that resonates on many levels of analysis. The book is simultaneously a compelling map of reality, guide to a balanced and meaningful life, and a deep defence of Western culture, Christian values and healthy masculinity, which are all currently under attack. I think this book is not just an insightful thought provoker, but also a healthy vaccination against dangerous ideological viruses which are unleashed in the modern world.

Any additional comments?
Jordan Peterson deliver advices, that are ready to implement into our daily life.
He turns his knowledge into wisdom by showing the principles, which we should use as a guide both in the professional and private life.
Idea of taking full responsibility for our choices makes perfect sense and give hope to all of the young people, who got deeply immersed into the nihilist world of mass consumption.
JBP narration makes the whole listening experience even better.
Lessons that you can takeaway from this book could be life-changing, especially if you want to give your life meaning and orient yourself in the world.

Spirituality for the reasonable
Would you consider the audio edition of 12 Rules for Life to be better than the print version?
I prefer the narrative power of the author speaking his own words. Hence, yes! I find it much better than the print.
What was one of the most memorable moments of 12 Rules for Life?
The coda(nice choice of words there). Like a sonata form recapitulation, it ties together the multi-themed spiritual sonata that was this book!
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The story about the suffering of his daughter and the frailty of li'l children moved me particularly.
"We love not 'despite' the limitations, but 'because' of them. And of course, it more complicated than that"
Any additional comments?
This book is great, not because it's some groundbreakingly new content and idea that have not been expressed before. It is so as it brings back an important aspect in the spiritual quest that is absent from most new age spiritual teachers: FORM! Most spiritual thinkers have removed everything that even resembles any real manifestation so much so that it is almost impossible to have use of what they are saying.
Jordan Peterson brings back the fundamental(archetypal) stories of our experiences back to the social collective consciousness and for that we must thank him.
This book unlike most self-help books, this book doesn't try to explain the title in almost banal detail. It takes the idea and brings it alive through contrast, variation, and storytelling that drives home the title without having to repeat it once. Only thing I can think of that comes close is classical music.

Too much bible talk
Disappointed to see this book turned into a full-on bible study from chapter 6. Dr.Peterson introduced himself as a psychologist and a scientist, but I see little reasoning with genuine scientific knowledge instead this book is mostly about Dr.Peterson’s personal interpretation of the bible. He often ran off the topic and spend hours to praise and interpret Christianity, he also consistently to refer to the bible and not actual evidences to make his case, which significantly lowered his credibility.

How have I ever lived without this book?
I've been listening to Jordan a lot on you tube over the past few months. I have watched and learnt so much. Even a simple lesson of watching him pausing and calming himself in aggressive interviews before answering back has been priceless. But through his book, it's so nice to actually listen fully to his train of thoughts. Uninterrupted by idiological arguments from others and explained with references we've all grown up with but never had fully explained in such a way whilst growing up. I feel calmer and ready to face the world and can't wait to listen to again.
Not that it matters to this review.. but I am a woman.. And based on his book.. now proud to be one. Always thought it meant to be less than man. But my role as a human.. if that be it free to choose: mother, bread winner, wife, or friend.. is as equally important to any other role around me. so much more to say but I will leave it there.
Thank you

Definitely worth a listen
Every rule makes sense. I'm a firm believer that if you learn just one thing then the book was worth a read. Well I learned 100 things.
Very religious heavy in some points which is not my flavour but is not used irrelevantly.
Full on enthusiastic delivery by Peterson. And if you open your ears you can persuade yourself its Saul Goodman.

Jordan B Peterson narrates
The fact that the writer narrates his own work is a testament to authenticity. The audible emotion in his voice at times makes you realise that 'life is real'. I have been able to recognise that we all see our lives the way we want to & it often represents an extremely narrow version of the full technicolor experience. Peterson provides a road map of his thoughts / concepts / musings via 'rules', which allows the reader to choose whether or not they are willing / equipped / ready to open their minds to a self awareness that you will win no medals. The reward is accepting that there will always be suffering and it is how we use that information that is important. Excellent.

Black & White, outdated knowledge
Struggled with the hardcopy, bought on audiobook and realised it's the writing style. Why explain something in 5 words when you can use a 1000.
Continuous outdated knowledge.
Black and white thinking.
I wanted to give up about 5 times, when I read the sentence about a crying 3 year old in the airport who was attention seeking and all his parents had to do was spend a moment correcting his behaviour - I stopped it there.

Change your attitude and change the world!
Peterson absolutely nails the fact that resentment, blame and jealousy will keep you in a prison of sadness, frustration and dissatisfaction.
The book outlines the problems that cause people to live unsuccessful, suboptimal lives. It also explains how by changing your goals and behaviours you can live better. The focus is mainly on the problems humans are facing and the need to change - the practical methods of how to accomplish this change aren’t so clear to me, but this doesn’t detract from the book. It forces you to take a good look at yourself, to identify the defects in character that prevent effective living and then to look for a way to access the needed power that will change your thoughts and actions on a daily basis.
Find someone who is spiritually healthy and ask them how they do it. Be wary of people who blame others for their problems - at some point they will have made a decision based on self, that has put them in a position to be harmed. Looking at the consequences of their actions rather than the actions themselves is not helpful.
I was fortunate(?) to get into AA when I was 38 - a real change or die moment, and I have been working a 12 step program for over 14 years now. Through working the steps, I have experienced a huge shift in my attitude to life. It took alcohol addiction to force me to this path - hopefully Jordan’s book will be sufficient for you to start your own journey to spiritual health.
“Keep asking, and it will be given to you. Keep searching, and you will find. Keep knocking, and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who searches finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.”

Great book for people who want to sort their lives
Life is suffering, so we must do what we need, not what we want. Listen, tell the truth and above all read this book.

Potentially life changing
I found this book to be humbling and inspiring. The motivation it’s given me improve myself and that around me is worth more than the money I paid, without doubt.

“To say anything is to say nothing at all”
He mentions in his book something along the lines of “to say anything is to say nothing at all” with regards to the level of pain his daughter experienced.
In the same spirit of that line....
October before last, my fiancé at the time and myself listened to one of Jordan’s lectures/podcasts relating to having kids on the drive down the coast to our wedding.
We’d been together for 10 years before we were married and had planned not to have kids.
After listening, we decided “if it happens on the honeymoon it happens, if not, back to our careers”.
We’ll it happened so thanks to this guy my new wife and I now have a 6 month old son who we love more than we knew possible.
This humble carpenter attempting to find the words to express gratitude for the difference made in my life by a stranger I’ll never meet, on the other side of the globe, wouldn’t do it justice.
To say that I am grateful is “almost to say nothing at all”.
For both the inspiration and now the instruction manual, my new family and I thanks you.

Fascinating Read
Psychologist and controversial public figure, Jordan B. Peterson, undertakes his first serious attempt to distill his ideas about life into a book for a general audience. Although, perhaps not one for the typical audience of such books. Jordan's various essays are fascinating, lengthy--and at times wandering--discussions of what it means to be human and how to live in this world we inhabit. The explanations for his suggested 'rules' are not for your typical Oprah Book Club reader longing for simple answers, and dumbed-down explanations. There is no woo-woo or hoo-rah here. Instead, Peterson draws particularly on a unique combination of Jungian psychology and Darwinian evolution to explain how he believes the world works, and what that may mean for each of us as we move through life.
This is an unusual work, unlike other popular psychology books I've read, for it presents an engrossing and intellectually fascinating take on the modern human condition, rather than just offering a few anecdotal (or researched but overly-simplified) quick fix ideas. There is no concessions to pandering here, and the explanations he provides are at times uncomfortable for they strip away some of the masques we wear and facades we build around our humanity. What is beneath is not always pretty, but evidently is a side of our humanity Peterson believes we each ought to confront, for it is the healthy assimilation of these elements into the psyche that allows us to move courageously in the turbulent, chaotic world. We must each embrace the chaos within, should we wish to confront it in the world. This book is Peterson's attempt to show us how it's done.

Great advice but a little long-winded at times.
I really appreciated a lot of the advice and I really respect Jordan Peterson. Most of the chapters start off strong with personal and clinical anecdotes, only to be followed by 30 minutes of biblical studies... As someone who isnt religious and grew up in a non-religous home, in a mostly non-religous country, it became a little much. I can appreciate some of these christian references and enjoy exploring their ideas. But it wasn't long before I'd find myself lost in thought rather than listening as the point had already been made prior to the bible being pulled out.

Does not live up to the hype . . . RETURNED IT.
I have heard Jordan on numerous podcasts, and in dynamic discussions he shines. But this book, the stories and performance are uninspiring and bitter.
This is a Sunday church sermon at its worst.
Beyond the extensive use of Biblical stories, Peterson’s support for his rules rely heavily on stories, overlooking extensive published research that would have offered greater credibility (Gladwell, Arieli, Taleb and Harris are all superb at this).
Clearly Peterson resonates with many listeners, maybe suitable for the first step into self reflection. But not likely to resonate with those who are already established on the journey of seeking to become a ‘better person’.
My first returned Audible purchase.

Is he a clinical psychologist, or a Priest?
I bought this book due to the increasing hype around Jordan. Disappointingly, It's just that; a hype.
I could relate to and confirm that the advice he gives, as a parent and psychologist, on chapters concerning children are very good as this is my professional field and I did refer some parents to the specific chapters.
I am, though, poorly disappointed at the amount of, rather lack of, evidence which comes in the form of Bible literature. He is a psychologist yet, this book seems to have been written by a priest.
3 of 12 chapters seemed well. Was told in a mostly entertaining & easy to absorb manner.

Contains timeless answers to life’s timeless questions
I rank this amongst the top 10 most important books in my life. I wish it was written years ago, since its timeless wisdom is useful in every phase of life.
Peterson is the first author who offers credible answers to the nihilistic questions that tend to creep into every critical mind: why bother when life is unpredictable, unfair and short? Why get out of bed when all your work can be undone by one drunk driver? Why have children that are destined to suffer, sometimes immeasurably?
Please pick this one up. If it doesn’t bring you the value it did to millions already, at least you’ll know what the fuss is all about.

Great rules for life. Attention turns off towards the later chapters.
The first half of the book was really impactful and the rules were really practical. But the later chapters/rules I felt they weren’t really anything I could relate to and I was just listening to finish the book. Also, there are a lot of religious stories and comparisons which were awesome for the few chapters. I’m not someone who hates religion but.... a bit too much for me.

I got half way in and just wasn’t for me.
Good snippets here and there.
Just wasn’t for me. Too much dogma and religious overtones.
It’s just my opinion of course.

Boring, religious content not openly disclosed.
Bought this given the high number of downloads and high ratings. I've listened to a couple hours and - honestly - have rarely been so bored reading/listening to a book. Plus, about an hour in Peterson mentions "Mathew 25.10" or such religious reference. That was interesting and relevant, but then he makes another reference to a religious text (bible or book of something or other), and I thought oh no, not another religious reference. Since then, the whole tone and text is a religious reference to Adam & Eve, the significance of the snake, and apple tree, god this and Jesus that. It turns out - as far as I can tell, suffering it - that it's a Sunday morning sermon, and equally as electrifying. I wasted my money on this turkey, and will request a swap. It should clearly be marked for its high religious content and references - not what I thought I was buying at all.
