This means we must aim to create less suffering and a better order in the world for everyone, starting in our own lives.
His most important principle is that we must take responsibility for Being. So in this summary/commentary on this book, we will be taking a look at some of the most important principles and stories that Peterson shares. He says we cannot simply accept nihilism or moral relativism (a belief that nothing matters), because some ways of living clearly work better-for ourselves (especially our long-term selves), for the people around us, and for our society as a whole. In his book 12 Rules for Life, Jordan Peterson tries to answer this modern lack of meaning. Unfortunately, we are also throwing away a lot of wisdom that was hidden within our myths that successfully guided generations of our ancestors about how to live. To put it simply, religion and belief in God is less common now than 50 years ago (among young people in rich countries).
So our rationalistic thinking can quickly undermine many past cultural beliefs, myths and traditions. …But today many people view life through a lens that is materialistic and scientific.
I mean, if you believed that doing something would please the literal Creator of the universe, then wouldn’t you want to do that more?!
What the heck should we do with our lives? Many of us find the question of life purpose becoming more difficult to answer.
