Wow
Best audiobook I’ve ever listened too. Content is a little too religious for me but I understand why Dr Peterson uses the bible extensively to reinforce his views. You don’t have to be religious to see wisdom, you just need an open mind. I cannot daily anything in this book, and will now make it a habit to read at least once a year.

Better than what I was expecting.
I am not a person who likes rah rah books. This is not a rah rah book. It offers solid reasoning with excellent narration by the Author. I will be buying a couple of copies for my younger family members. Will likely listen to again in a month or so.

loved it
Absolutely loved this book, Jordan Peterson is a great story teller and always puts so much emotion in when he's explaining something and this book is no exception. Will be listening to this one more than once to absorb as much as I can from it.

Listening again ...
I have now started my second reading of '12 Rules for Life …' by Jordan Peterson.
I am very impressed overall with this book. His rules are excellent, pertinent, practical and essentially common sense (or at least they would be if presented a generation or two ago before the world went mad thanks to the serious indoctrination by the fascist left through the MSM, Hollywood and Academia).
Peterson may be beginning to redress this horror - the Youtube post of his interview with Cathy Newman has already been viewed over 7 million times since it was posted only 1 month ago. Ms Newman was totally humiliated, but it was all her own doing. Peterson's calm, measured, respectful and highly articulate response is well worth watching.
I am not convinced all his arguments are valid though. Certainly I agree with most of his conclusions and I hope to better appreciate them through a second 'read' (on Audible). But I am convinced that some of his pre-suppositions are totally flawed. For example, he seriously (sadly! Really! He needs to read more!) believes in Darwinism. And his pop-psychology approach to the Bible is also lacking in depth and this may reflect his upbringing to some extent, but it also reflects a lack of serious scholarship here (despite his generally outstanding, extensive and comprehensive reading in general).
It is most notable in his lack of knowledge of Jewish and Rabbinic scholarship, which at times leads to a somewhat superficial take on the narratives and sayings of the New Testament.
Despite these minor misgivings I strongly recommend this book.
