Author : Jordan B. Peterson
Genre : Self-Help
One of the most influential public intellectuals in the Western world right now, clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson provides twelve practical principles for how to live a meaningful life. These include setting your own house in order before criticizing others and comparing yourself to who you were yesterday, not someone else today. Happiness is not the goal; instead we must search for meaning as a defiance against suffering. These chapters are interesting and exhaustive, so be ready to read much, much more in the process as he clarifies these twelve rules
“To treat yourself as if you were someone you are responsible for helping is to consider what would be truly good for you. Consider your future and think, ‘What might my life look like if I were caring for myself properly? What career would challenge me and render me productive and helpful, so that Ii could shoulder my share of the load, and enjoy the consequences?’ Don’t underestimate the power of vision and direction. You must determine where you are going in your life, because you cannot get there unless you move in that direction. Random wandering will not move you forward. It will instead disappoint and frustrate you.”
“”I hope that my writing has proved useful to you. I hope it revealed things you knew that you did not know you knew. I hope the ancient wisdom I discussed provides you with strength. I hope it brightened the spark within you. I hope you can straighten up, sort out your family, and bring peace and prosperity to your community. I hope that you strengthen and encourage those who are committed to you care. I wish you the best and hope you can wish the best for others.”
