An Antidote to Chaos

by Jordan B. Peterson

What's refreshing about Peterson is his brutal common sense' Tim Stanley, Daily Telegraph `Everyone must read 12 Rules For Life, by Jordan B. Peterson. It is the most enlightening book I have read in ages. Google him if you like, if it makes you feel better. It will, by the way. His YouTube lectures are amazing for all sorts of reasons. But get the book, that is the most important thing. And then read it. And then pass it on to a friend, or even better, an enemy' Chris Evans
