Summary: 12 Rules for Life - An...

ExecutiveGrowth Summaries

12 Rules for Life became a #1 National & International Bestseller for a simple reason…
(Please Note: This is a SUMMARY of Jordan B Peterson’s, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos)
Dr. Peterson unearths archetypal principles that shape our lives. He first observes that Order and Chaos are the two primordial forces of the Cosmos. Chaos is the realm of limitless possibilities, unsuitable for life. Order, on the other hand, is the world of rules, predictability, explanations, science, and conformity.
In the 12 Rules for Life, Dr. Peterson offers a roadmap to navigate these polar forces. The antidote to chaos is not merely order – it comes down to understanding the subtleties of life, realizing that virtue lies in the balance of the two extremes, and developing your own skills at the game.
Each Rule for Life 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?
Whether you are an over-achiever burning through life, an under-achiever with perpetual overwhelm, or an intellectual seeking deeper truths of human nature, this audiobook 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 greater sense of meaning in life.
DISCLAIMER: Testimonies show that our professional summaries introduce more readers to the full book who otherwise would have been overwhelmed by the initial commitment. Readers can use this summary as an introduction or a companion to the original, NOT AS A SUBSTITUTE.

You Are Forbidden

Jerry Shelton

You Are Forbidden by Jerry Shelton - In a future where fate is determined by Predictable Life-Lines, Dr. Jules Craig wrestles with the ethical dilemma of revealing a patient's grim destiny while concealing his own. As he grapples with the weight of his own experiment to alter his predicted future, a chilling revelation threatens to unravel his sanity and reshape his understanding of destiny.
Dr. Jules Craig, P.L.L., was unhappy. He was famous. He was young. He was talented, healthy, successful. He carried the distinguished degree of P.L.L. He had everything!
But he was unhappy.
He sat at his tastefully furnished desk, shuffling the Life-Line charts of the patient seated across from him. The patient awaiting the diagnosis was nervous.
Poor devil! Craig thought. This man is going to die. He doesn't know it—and I can't tell him.
A wave of pity swept through him, intensifying his own brooding unhappiness. Despite the fact he had instructed his psycho-color experts to design his inner consultation office in as soothing a shade as scientifically possible, the patient was sweating profusely, awaiting the verdict. The room was comfortably air-conditioned.
The patient was a little fat man. The face was putty-white. Eyes shifty, breathing rapid, voice shaky and twisting of the hat. This man would be dead in three weeks, and he, Dr. Jules Craig, had to lie to the man. With an unpleasant sensation, he summoned his resolution, looked at the name near the upper left-hand corner of the charts, and spoke.
"You have no cause for worry, Elder Wayman," he said. He forced his voice to sound as smoothly professional as possible.
