RESUME:"12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos" is a self-help book written by Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson. The book presents twelve principles for living a meaningful and fulfilling life, drawing on a range of sources such as psychology, philosophy, literature, and religious traditions. The book is structured around twelve chapters, each offering a rule for life that Peterson argues is essential for personal growth and well-being. The rules include standing up straight with your shoulders back, treating yourself like someone you are responsible for helping, and pursuing what is meaningful, not what is expedient. Peterson supports his rules with a range of anecdotes, personal experiences, and scientific research, providing practical advice for readers seeking to improve their lives. The book is also notable for its critique of postmodernism and political correctness, which Peterson argues have contributed to a decline in personal responsibility and meaning in contemporary society. "12 Rules for Life" has received both praise and criticism, with some readers finding Peterson's views on gender and politics controversial. However, the book remains popular among those seeking guidance on how to live a more purposeful and fulfilling life.
