#21 12 Rules for Life (Jordan Peterson, 2018)

Listen Later

This episode we unpack Peterson's notions of self responsibility, values, defining goals and confronting chaos with truth and order. We also explore ideas around choice points, not sweeping things under the rug, telling the truth, clarifying motives, acting towards well-defined ends and allowing life to unfold. This book is a real call to action and a reflection on what's important, looking at the barriers to living purposeful and happy lives through the adoption of responsibility.   

Hope you enjoy.
