This episode explores Jordan B. Peterson’s 12 Rules for Life, a bold and multifaceted guide to navigating modern existence. Drawing from clinical psychology, philosophy, and mythology, Peterson offers twelve provocative principles—from “Stand up straight with your shoulders back” to “Pet a cat when you encounter one on the street”—each designed to foster meaning, discipline, and personal responsibility. We examine the book’s central themes, including the tension between order and chaos, the transformative power of suffering, and the search for truth in turbulent times. The conversation also reflects on 12 Rules for Life’s polarizing impact, its vivid style, and its resonance with audiences seeking purpose in complexity.
