WHY 12 RULES FOR LIFE?
12 Rules for Life became a #1 National & International Bestseller for a simple reason…
​
In 12 Rules for Life, Dr. Jordan B Peterson unearths archetypal principles that unconsciously and continually shape our lives.
​
The book has an underpinning theme of Order and Chaos, the two primordial forces of the Cosmos.
Chaos is the realm of limitless possibilities, unsuitable for life. Depression, anxiety, and suffering find their home within chaos.
Order, on the other hand, is the world of rules. Predictability, explanations, science, and conformity are housed in order.
​
In the book, Dr. Peterson offers a roadmap to navigate these polar forces.
The antidote to chaos is not merely order, but understanding the nuisances of life.
We don’t get to order by dismissing chaos, it is realizing that virtue lies in the balance of the two extremes, and developing your own skills at the game of life.
​
Each rule (chapter within the book) will challenge you to examine your own approach to life and answer some tough questions about why you're living the way you do. It is only by transcending our own limitations that life becomes meaningful and rewarding.
WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM THIS BOOK CLUB?
Whether you are an overachiever burning through life, an under-achiever with perpetual overwhelm, or an intellectual, seeking deeper truths of human nature, this book is for you.
The 12 Rules cover a broad spectrum where you will find advice on how to manage your thoughts and emotions, how to thrive, how to get along with others, and how to find a sense of meaning in life.
DATES:
This is a six month book club running from July-December beginning on July 5th.
Zoom calls are on the first Sunday of each month from 5:00-6:00pm MST.
Here’s the exact schedule: 7/5, 8/2, 9/6, 9/30 (this represents October’s call), 11/1, 12/6.
WHERE DO I GET THE BOOK?
You may purchase in any bookstore, or on amazon.
We would prefer you ordered a physical copy of the book in order to follow along, highlight, and go back and reference it easily.
The best part is that all payments are “pay as you wish,” meaning we want all members of this community to feel like this is a place where all are welcome, regardless of your means.
Are the books included?
​
Books are NOT included in the program. We encourage you to purchase them in advance of the July 5th start date.
You can purchase the book here.
What if I’ve read the book before?
There is a good chance you may have read the book, but you haven’t read the book in this way.
Also, we will be breaking down concepts to ensure that this experience is wayyyyy better than reading it by yourself.
I read really slow. Will I be able to keep up?
We are covering the 12 chapter book over the span of the next six months.
Because the book is approximately 409 pages, that’s approximately 16 pages a week, or 2 pages a day.
I read really fast. Will I get bored?
Within the book club, we’re doing more than just reading for the sake of completion.
We will be reading, journaling, note-taking, thinking, processing, self-coaching, applying.
You will not be bored.
When are the monthly calls?
Calls are on the first Sunday of each month from 5:00-6:00pm MST.
Here’s the exact schedule: 7/5, 8/2, 9/6, 9/30 (this represents October’s call), 11/1, 12/6.
What if I can’t make the monthly Zoom Calls?
All calls will be recorded and posted to our site within 24 hours.
We would prefer if you could make it live, but we understand life happens, in that case you can always submit a question or topic in advance and then listen to the recording for answers, interpretations and/or suggestions on guidance.
Can I join at any time?
Unfortunately, no.
Registration will close on July 5th before we begin the first call.
Enrollment is OPEN now.
