12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos

12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos by Jordan B. Peterson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

There are several nuggets of good advice here. However, Peterson definitely could have pulled out his psychology professor card more often and cited a few more sources. Peterson uses this book largely to assert his own personal opinions about how people should live. I felt as if I were reading a book by just "some guy" who thinks he has some good ideas. It's not that Peterson's opinions are necessarily bad; they're just not as clear or convincing as they could have been had Peterson presented them more systematically and in the context of real, cited research.
