This is a review of 12 Rules for Life by Jordan B. Peterson. Peterson combines clinical psychology, mythology, and cultural criticism to explore meaning through personal responsibility and truth-telling. He argues that life's inevitable suffering becomes meaningful through accepting responsibility and pursuing truth. The book examines competence hierarchies, posture's neurochemical effects, parenting boundaries, and meaning versus happiness. Drawing from extensive mythological references, Peterson advocates character development over quick fixes. While offering valuable insights on resilience and meaning-making, the approach requires significant self-reflection and may not address structural barriers. Best for those seeking comprehensive life philosophy rather than immediate practical solutions. Independent, unaffiliated—informational only, not a substitute for the book.
