piabo 's review for:
12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos
by Jordan B. Peterson
If you are like me, do yourself a favor and just read a summary.
I think most of the rules (except 11) make sense and are interesting to know. Maybe even helpful.
But the chatter in between the main points is so much. I often did not see why something Mr. Peterson wrote was relevant to the rule/chapter.
If you want to make a point to me, don't use the bible or some old stories. Don't just tell me that "the data is in", but tell me what the data is. Be precise in your speech, duh.
I am not hating on Jordan B. Peterson with my rating and comment. I think he is an interesting character and I enjoy how he disrupts some well established ways of thinking. It does not mean that I agree with him.
His videos are fun to watch, this book is just really not for me. His writing style does not work with me.
(also, I picked up this book now after giving up on it three years ago. I hate not finishing books, that is why I tried. But honestly, I was close to just closing it again. So lengthy and boring.)
