| Summary |
"As a follow-up to 12 Rules for Life, the author provides twelve additional rules related to the overarching theme of how the dangers of too much security and control might be profitably avoided"-- Provided by publisher. |
|
In a time when the human will increasingly imposes itself over every sphere of life, Peterson warns that too much security is dangerous. In 12 Rules for Life, he helped millions impose order on the chaos of their lives. Now Peterson delivers more lifesaving principles for resisting the exhausting toll that our desire to order the world inevitably takes. In offering strategies for overcoming the cultural, scientific, and psychological forces causing us to tend toward tyranny, he teaches us how to rely instead on our instinct to find meaning and purpose, even when we find ourselves powerless. -- adapted from jacket |
