书籍简介：

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.

作者简介：

Jordan B. Peterson is a Canadian clinical psychologist, self-help writer, cultural critic, and professor of psychology at the University of Toronto. His main areas of study are in abnormal, social, and personality psychology, with a particular interest in the psychology of religious and ideological belief, and the assessment and improvement of personality and performance.

Peterson grew up in Fairview, Alberta. He earned a B.A. degree in political science in 1982 and a degree in psychology in 1984, both from the University of Alberta, and his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from McGill University in 1991. He remained at McGill as a post-doctoral fellow for two years before moving to Massachusetts, where he worked as an assistant and an associate professor in the psychology department at Harvard University. In 1998, he moved to the University of Toronto as a full professor. He authored Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief in 1999, a work in which examined several academic fields to describe the structure of systems of beliefs and myths, their role in the regulation of emotion, creation of meaning, and motivation for genocide.

In 2016, Peterson released a series of videos on his YouTube channel in which he criticized the Canadian government's Bill C-16. He subsequently became involved in several public debates about the bill that received significant media coverage.

书友短评：

@ 逝者如斯 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。 @ 柿子青涩之时 果然硬核理性。 @ 治感冒不吃药 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。 @ 太妃奶糖的邪念 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。 @ RM Walike rules很好 最近也被亲眼教育了直男感的用处 书还是算了 new age drudgery click得了ssc click不了我 @ 沉默之岛 并不是成功学，作者学术争议蛮大，一些观点相当challenging了：雄性衰落，do not bother your child when he is skate-boarding @ 夏至 龙虾教授的文字值得反复推敲，连他最近做的冥想方式我都想去研究研究了。 @ 面筋仔仔 别读。rule1还行，观点和逻辑多少能自洽，rule2就直接大段鸡汤+引用圣经故事，一度让我怀疑我在看圣经。 @ 梵音 不是鸡汤，我自己最趁手的一点是“做自己的朋友“ @ MuyBien 令人吃惊的糟糕，作者自信满满高谈阔论，却行文混乱毫无逻辑，一句话可以讲完的事情非要长篇大论，而且还是用莫名其妙的龙虾举例（“你要挺直腰板，因为这对龙虾很重要”）。
