Acclaimed clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson has become on of the world's most influential public thinkers, first with his lectures on topics from the Bible to romantic relationships to mythology drawing tens of millions of viewers online, and now as a major bestselling author. In an era of unprecedented change and polarizing politics, his frank and refreshing message about the value of individual responsibility and ancient wisdom has resonated around the world.
In this book, he provides twelve profound and practical principles for how to live a meaningful life, from setting your house in order before criticizing others to comparing yourself to who you were yesterday, not someone else today. Happiness is not the goal, she shows us. Instead we must search for meaning, not for its own sake, but as a defense against the suffering that is always a part of our existence.

Drawing on vivid examples from his clinical practice and personal life, cutting-edge psychology an philosophy, and lessons from humanity's oldest myths and stories, Dr. Peterson takes the reader on an intellectual journey like no other. Gripping, thought-provoking and deeply rewarding, 12 Riles for Life offers an antidote to the chaos in our lives: eternal truths applied to our modern problems
