12 Rules of Life
AN ANTIDOTE TO CHAOS
JORDAN B. PETERSON
Reviewed by Roy Murry, Author
"To Tell the TRUTH, or, at least, don't
lie." one of Mr. Peterson "Rules," I'll pursue in this review,
as I always do. I have watched some of his videos and listened to some debates
he participated. The reason I bought this expensive book.
I was a little disappointed at first, but kept on
reading, because I felt Jordan's sincerity in his words. However, I can say to
you J. Peterson is not a Mark Twain whose writing brings smiles to my face when
reading. Sad concern for the world came to mind reading Jordan's words.
Each chapter is a rule; all based somewhat on a Bible
verse. Similar to a modern preacher, Peterson sounds better up and front, and
in action, which I enjoyed immensely in the videos I watched. However, his
writing was so articulate that I felt apathetic at times but kept on reading.
Some of his "Rules" did become clearer after
my re-reading of the notes I took during my first read. Peterson is wordy and
repetitive when getting his points across.
Peterson's philosophies and psychological interpretations of
humanity were worth the read. As usual, I agreed with some and not others.
Therefore, interested parties in those endeavors should purchase this man's
understanding of humankind.
