12 Rules for Life An Antidote to Chaos

Jordan Peterson argues in his book 12 steps about how we got to start making our own bed first And I think the American Renaissance is gonna start in places like Knox County where people just say you know what we've had enough

Make your bed first that Jordan Peterson says that in his book

He wrote a book with 12 steps for life. Paula loves it thinks it's a really great book.

That's like one of the, if they were, if Dan Boggito had like a Jordan Peterson booklet, the 12 rules for life, rule number one, forget about what it would be. There's no bunting in softball.

You want to change the world? We got to make our beds first.

I was reading Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life and there's a section in there and I'm not sure.

Then the line in the book is about making your own bed first. And the gist of it is, you know, it's great to go out and want to change the world, but maybe you should focus on making your bed in the morning first.

there's a section in there and I'm not sure he's not really a political guy. He's more of a, I don't wanna categorize him. That's just a very good thinker.

But he has a line in the book which my wife loves and the line in the book is about making your own bed first.

you know it's great to go out and wanna change the world but maybe you should focus on making your bed in the morning first.

Remember Jordan Peterson noted lecturer author prominent Personality does speeches just a very popular famous guy wrote a mega best-selling book Was like tell 12 rules for life and one of Paul's favorites. It really really good.

He called now Elliot Page Ellen Page, the name she went by professionally for her entire acting career and by which we all know her.

He called Justin Trudeau, the Canadian prime minister, a prick for this.

He also called Justin Trudeau a puppet.

They're not pouring over the remarks of somebody who's out there saying the most woke, radical, of course, racist stuff that we hear out of the BLM crowd.

It's it's no coincidence, right? They're not pouring over the remarks of somebody who's out there saying the most woke, radical, of course, racist stuff that we hear out of the BLM crowd. That's no problem. That'll get a complete pass. But Jordan Peterson gets targeted. Why? To make an example of him, right? To instill fear.

When 12 Rules for Life came out and I had so many people bring it to me, be like, let's get him. And I was like, OK, what's this about? It's some crazy lunatic saying terrible things. And then I actually read it and I was like, this is brilliant.

Jordan Peterson on the show and he's just written his second book, the follow up to 12 Rules of Life.

his massive book that was hugely, hugely popular, 12 Rules for Life, An Antidote to Chaos was an international bestseller.

It's over 4 million sales.

so i read the i saw the video of his new book i read his new 12 new rules pretty tight not gonna lie kind of liked them um and then uh watched like his personality video so it's pretty tight nice

There's a chapter from his book, 12 Rules for Life. The chapter that best describes this teaching is rule two. Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping.

He goes into detail about why people tend to take care of others and their pets more than themselves.

People are better at feeling and properly administering prescription medication to their pets than to themselves.

But with yourself, you just let it go.

The problem is we know so much more about ourselves than anyone else. We know the full range of our secret transgressions, our insufficiencies and inadequacies.

There's a chapter from his book, 12 Rules for Life.

The chapter that best describes this teaching is rule two. Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping.

People are better at feeling and properly administering prescription medication to their pets than to themselves.

When someone else has a health issue in your family or your friend group, you become a doctor, but with yourself, you just let it go.

The problem is we know so much more about ourselves than anyone else. We know the full range of our secret transgressions, our insufficiencies and inadequacies.

So the thing that I recently came across that is shocking is not going to be news to a lot of people. But have you read Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life?

One will be something similar to a more bro-y version of 12 Rules for Life, Modern Wisdom Style Almanac book.

I just finished your book

The your first 12 rules

And I actually say this in our book, but um when I was a freshman I was hiding books under my bed including your book 12 rolls for life and Thomas Souls books so I had my like secret library underneath my bed which I'm ashamed to admit looking back but when you're in a new place

Don't look read your book years ago and gave it to me and we're big readers we love to read he was like mom read this so good 12 rolls that one and then we went back and read about some meaning and all that and just started listened to your podcast and and have loved you and followed you and and prayed for your family

He was like mom read this so good

I don't know if it made it in 12 rules, but it's an old rule in my life that to whom much is given much will be required.

I've been a fan since 12 rules for life so thanks so much for having me on.

12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos: https://jordanbpeterson.com/12-rules-for-life

In my first book, 12 Rules for Life, I have a chapter entitled, Don't Let Your Children Do Anything That Makes You Dislike Them and so what I thought I'd ask you given that you wrote this book detailing out different means of communicating with children, developing a philosophy of communication with children, kind of wondering what you think of that rule.

One of the things I've understood more deeply recently, more explicitly, you know, I've been putting this together, is that the definition of sanity that's generally implicitly held among the psychological community is probably too individualistic.

And what I mean by that is that I don't think that sanity is something that you have in your head, it's not part of your psyche, it's not part of you exactly. It's more like harmonious interaction with the hierarchy of social, uh, of social arrangements that you have with other people.

So you imagine, well, you're a pretty sane person and you're married and your marriage is terrible. It's like, well, then you're not that sane, are you?

Well, I was talking to a woman named Jean Twangie yesterday, and she's a research psychologist, we were talking about self-esteem, and one of the, the self-esteem movement in this school system in California, was absolutely dreadfully devastating and appalling.

It basically posited that you could teach kids how to be narcissistic to overcome their negative emotion and neuroticism, and that's so preposterously appalling that you couldn't invent something stupider. So we were talking about self-esteem, whatever the hell that means, because it's a very badly defined term, but here's one way of determining whether you have the appropriate amount of self-esteem. You might say, well, everyone should feel good about themselves. It's like, well, if you're a miserable, ratty, lying, deceptive, narcissistic prick, then probably you shouldn't feel that good about yourself.

it's a good book

I would specifically recommend the 12 rules for life because 12 more rules I have some criticisms of it

Your first book, 12 Rules for Life, sits prominently on our bookshelf in our living room and we've all read it and learned a tremendous amount from you over the years and certainly feel a kinship because of the shared relationship between university professorship and public education as well.

Although I agree with most of the underlying substance of your argument, I'm not sure your approach is as persuasive as it could be.

It feels more like a mock fuselage at CEOs addressed to your fan base rather than a message addressed to CEOs which might persuade them to change their ways.

In that sense, I am not sure it will move the dial of the debate.

I fear the CEO video loses the humble vulnerability from the superpower equation.

I found myself hoping the non-judgmental Jordan Peterson would appear. Instead, I got caught in a net of angry sarcastic judgments.

In my first book um 12 rules for life I said do not lie or no I said the rule was tell the truth or at least do not lie because you know you might I mean can you tell the truth you'd have to know the truth you know you might be able to tell some partial truths but you can't tell the truth but you can not say things that you know to be false.

People who read 12 rules who watch your lectures and especially those who have read maps of meaning and the books you recommend experience rapid personal growth, their emotional states, their health and their relationships change.

And 12 Rules for Life. You described how you and your family managed with Michaela's health struggles.

It's a harder read than 12 Rules for Life, for example, though easier than Maps of Meaning.

It's the same with 12 Rules.

I think that's the biggest selling nonfiction book in Canadian history.

in his bestselling book, 12 Rules for Life and Anodote to Chaos, Dr. Peterson argues that strict hierarchies are natural and healthy at least to some extent.

Peterson uses the example of lobsters, which humans share a common evolutionary ancestor with.

And in fact he acted as the hype man for Jordan Peterson during the professor's world tour after the release of his book 12 rules For life like he would introduce him at shows and stuff

consciousness is symbolically masculine and has been since the beginning of time.

the soul of the individual eternally hungers for the heroism of genuine being.

Peterson basically positions his book as an answer to the crisis facing Western civilization.

Compassion is a vice and toughen up, you weasel.

to prove his point, Peterson uses the example of lobsters, which humans share a common evolutionary ancestor with.

Peterson argues that like humans, lobsters exist in hierarchies and have a nervous system attuned to status, which runs on serotonin, a brain chemical often associated with feelings of happiness.

With the advent of the Internet, elements of the pickup artists communities ideology hardened into something darker. It paved the way for other masculinized self-help formations to emerge, such as Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life, says O'Neill.

And in fact he acted as the hype man for Jordan Peterson during the professor's world tour after the release of his book 12 rules For life like he would introduce him at shows and stuff

Stand up for yourself. Take care of yourself. Make friends. Don't compare yourself to others. Mind your children. Set your house in order. Pursue meaning. Tell the truth. Listen to people. Be precise. Give children freedom and enjoy pets.

consciousness is symbolically masculine and has been since the beginning of time.

the soul of the individual eternally hungers for the heroism of genuine being.

Peterson basically positions his book as an answer to the crisis facing Western civilization.

Culture, one of his typical arguments goes, is symbolically, archetypally, mythically male. And this is why resistance to male dominance is unnatural.

And in fact he acted as the hype man for Jordan Peterson during the professor's world tour after the release of his book 12 rules For life like he would introduce him at shows and stuff and this gets worse terrible terrible sets

men have to toughen up, men demanded and women want it.

Some of you know I've written these books 12 rules for life and then Beyond order 12 more rules because you know you can't have enough rules.

He wrote a very provocative self-help book called 12 Rules for Life.

Rule number one, stand up straight with your shoulders back.

Rule number two, treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping.

Rule number twelve, pat a cat when you encounter one on the street.

It is about framing the way you view the world and giving people this lens from which to approach the challenges they face.

I still think about this every single day.

Ethan, you can't let these mobbers back you into a corner.

You're damn right.

You can't deny that you're racist.

It was Jordan Peterson's book and people just kind of incidentally go, oh, your name's in that.

And that's just a fundamental thing that most people need, if I can loosely quote Jordan Peterson.

Did a guy write a book a couple of years ago about thinking for yourself in an age of unreason? That was a pretty good book.

It's mind-blowing what you just said. He said something to this effect. I'm paraphrasing. You know, Dennis, I don't know anybody who was as intense about the big issues as you are and who is as happy as you are. Who is as lighthearted.

And I think Jordan would even say Bill might be as close to the ability to do what he did in the book as possible.

And I was thinking as I was flipping through it before, there's something interesting about writing a book about happiness because it puts a lot of pressure on the author, sort of the way I always felt that Jordan was under a lot of pressure by writing 12 Rules for Life because man, if he broke one of those rules, then why would you want to buy this book?

read 12 rules for life. If you have not read it, I literally lived it

If there was one book that everyone could read. I mean look my easy answer on this is read 12 rules for life. If you have not read it, I literally lived it

It was it was incredible. I look back on it like did that happen?

sometimes about the book, sometimes about 12 rules, sometimes about one rule, sometimes about social media

it's like I had the best seat in the house every night because I was always stage right. So I would do the intro, shake Jordan's hand, give him a hug, he'd go out there for an hour and a half. But I'd be sitting on the stage watching the show every night.

when I first sat down with him for that 12 rules for life interview when we went through each rule it was like it felt dense and real and important to me and then to think that I got to spend a year of my a year and a half of my life like talking about that stuff with people and seeing people turn their lives around it's just it's awesome that's a privilege that I have

sort of like a little more female focused version of jordan peterson's 12 rules for life but guess what men can read it too and it doesn't have to be in a special section it's wild

they tried to stop Jordan Peterson's newest book, which came out this week. Even though 12 Rules for Life sold something like six million copies and basically kept everyone at Penguin Random House, which is my publisher, by the way, it kept pretty much everyone there employed and they tried to stop. Some employees tried to stop the second book.

It's really sustained me kept me going.

It was it was a ridiculous experience. It was unbelievable. That's it. It was unbelievable. It was a ridiculous experience.

I've talked a lot about this at some level and by the way I have Jordan Peterson on the show in a couple weeks and we will we will dive into this because this is exactly what he was warning about and I'm obviously super psyched to talk to Jordan again it's been great that he's you know making his his little foray back into the into the fight and he's got the new book coming out and all that stuff so what is it that these people get is a great question what do the what do the woke people get

Jordan Peterson guy...who by the way has a new book coming out next month and yes he will be on the show.

his new book's coming out in about two months

Jordan Peterson books

Jordan Peterson twisted up. Like he's a modern day philosopher. If he lived back in the old days, they'd be making statues of the dude's head.

But he says things like, I'll try it. It's hard not to make fun of some of these guys. But this is what he says, like blah, blah, blah lobsters, right? Because alpha lobsters hold their claws up in the air. This is what he writes at the beginning of 12 rules.

So if something's been around maybe 30 years, maybe you can expect it to be around another 30 years.

It's a probabilistic heuristic basically, which is the duration of something that's been around. You can calculate it's going to be around for that duration longer.

So I play around with it. I use it a lot for basically a hedge against modernity and we're constantly getting bombarded by novelty all the time, which is great because it's always nice to have options and choice.

And the reality is most either it doesn't actually change anything or it changes something that was there for a reason. And there's going to be consequences for this change.

But I think there are domains where it is pretty valuable as far as like architecture, diet, health, psychology. Is it another good one? Ways to live sort of systems that have been around for a long time.

Karen you did it again, you already have a big joke book right?

I do, I treasure it, thank you, absolutely, forever how exciting to get to see Jordan Peterson on the night stand next to my bed 12 rules for life

I go over it with my grandchildren, that I'm helping to raise, you're a wonderful man, you're all great, I love you all, Karen Jones everybody
