  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.

  The Sounds of the ‘50s

  Born in Mississippi, a young kid named Elvis Presley came to Memphis as a teenager and changed music forever. Fusing country and rhythm and blues with rock, Elvis brought traditional African-American sounds to the forefront of music in the 1950s, but he did so as a handsome white man before the height of the Civil Rights Movement. On top of that, his famous stage fright led to the hip gyrations that would make him the envy of young girls and the scorn of their parents. What followed was rock music’s perfect storm. Managed by Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis became the biggest music act in the world, producing holiday classics, love ballads, and up-tempo rock songs that all hit the top of the charts in the late ‘50s. Elvis merged the quintessential rock star looks with success, scoring nearly 20 #1 singles. With live broadcasts on TV appearances and movie roles, Elvis became a pop culture fixture and a music icon that made even The Beatles giddily nervous to meet him. 
  America has always celebrated its star entertainers, but Frank Sinatra remains a unique American legend. A pop culture fixture for over half a century, Sinatra’s music is still cherished, and his persona remains its own archetype of the quintessential American star. Sinatra transcended genres to the extent that his music stands alone as its own kind of American music, with songs like “New York, New York,” “Chicago,” and “Come Fly With Me” instantly recognizable among all Americans. Of course, there was also the life that went with the music. The cultural identity of the Rat Pack, epitomized in the 1960 film Ocean’s Eleven, further contributed to his fame, and everyone knows and appreciates the image of easy living, smooth voice and exuberant starpower that Sinatra represents.

  The bestselling author of Going Under recounts her real-life journey from hard-partying Sydney medical intern to dust-covered rural GP. 
   
  Solo GP needed for medical clinic, mining town in Pilbara region, Western Australia. Car and accommodation provided. On call paid extra. Close proximity to absolutely nothing. 
   
  Going Under, Sonia Henry's autobiographical novel about the stresses and failures and triumphs of a young doctor struggling to find herself in a broken system was published in 2019. In real life, Sonia was the one having the affair with the older heart surgeon, and in real life, her heart ended up broken. Sonia found herself depressed, confused, with the guy owned the bottle-o on the corner of Darlinghurst road as her surrogate counsellor. She knew one thing: she couldn't keep living in the neighbourhood she'd come to think of as 'theirs'.  
   
  Desperate to escape, she answered an ad calling for a GP in a tiny mining town in the middle of the western Australian desert. The Pilbara is home to iron ore, the ten deadliest snakes in the world, and red dirt. The plan was to stay for one month, instead she ended up on a cross country journey into the core of Australia, and herself. She would spend the next two years working in some of the remotest parts of the country, where she met an eclectic bunch of patients and friends, and also opened her eyes to the truths, both good and bad, of the country she calls home. 
   
  Before she knew it, Sonia had gone from being a dressed-to-the-nines Sydney party girl to a red dust-covered, RM-wearing bushie - and loving it. From learning how to shoot in the middle of the desert, to living in places where there are more crocodiles than people, to opal mines, rivers, horrendous health inequities, dongas in the middle of the northern territory, and pearl divers, there isn't a part of Australia that she hasn't experienced.

  Sometimes nothing is more unexpected than joy.What happens when a marketing executive leaves San Francisco to care for her dying mother on their family farm in Ohio? A Hallmark heroine would fall in love with her high school sweetheart during a snowstorm—but this is no Hallmark movie. Sarah Gormley spent most of her life trying to outrun the persistent self-loathing that plagued her from childhood, convinced that self-worth was something she had to earn by doing rather than being. When she returned to Salt Creek Farm at age forty-five, Gormley had no idea that detaching from the success she believed defined her, untangling the complicated relationship with her mother, and continuing the hard work of therapy would lead to a wildly transformed life. Told with exceptional candor and humor, The Order of Things is a story about how one woman learned to let go of the patterns of her past to create a future she never imagined.

  Life In The Pits - My Time as a...

  Brad Schaeffer

  In 1989, Brad Schaeffer was working as an artist when his trader brother invited him to visit the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Schaeffer promptly quit his job and became a clerk in that most iconic arena of raw capitalism. During the next six years, Schaeffer rose from clerk to trader, making markets on Eurodollar options in Chicago and heating oil options in New York. In that time, jammed literally shoulder-to-shoulder, he screamed, flailed his arms, hurled expletives, and pushed and shoved his way through his day. 
   
   
   
  In Life in the Pits, Schaeffer recalls the uneasy camaraderie of working right next to fierce competitors, the sheer intensity of dealing in stacks of money changing hands with a simple scream or hand signal, and the hijinks, excesses, and collection of characters as colorful as the jackets they wore, giving the listener an intimate look into what life was like down in the financial mosh pits. 
   
   
   
  A worthy successor to Liar's Poker and Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, Life in the Pits offers nuggets of wisdom on what makes a successful trader and the rules all must follow to survive in such an unforgiving environment. Schaeffer's often hilarious, yet sometimes profound, reflections take us on his personal journey from penniless artist to moving millions of dollars' worth of commodities in the blink of an eye.
