Please find below the 7 Key Takeaways and a Practical Exercise from the book - 12 Rules for Life by Jordan B. Peterson.
- Order, not happiness. We don't have to pursue order single-handedly. People who think alike can be our allies.
- Watch your posture and prioritize yourself. Focus on what you truly need, not what you want.
- Construct your network wisely and avoid comparisons with others. Be around with people whose lives will improve if you thrive.
- Teach kids moral principles and be the owner of your life. We can replicate or learn from the evil to never allow it to happen again.
- Set your priorities right and share your truth. Start reviewing your values if you live in a world you don't like.
- Be a god listener and choose words wisely. If the conversation seems boring, you need to listen to it.
- Follow your true nature and be an optimist. We love people for their limitations because they shape our identities and generally define who we are.
Practical Exercise to Try:
- Choose a topic for your conversation. The more heated, the better.
- Have your friends say their first thoughts.
- when they are through, retell these thoughts to them using your own words.
- Change roles and do the same.
- Keep going until you play out the issue.
