12 Rules for Life – Jordan B. Peterson

Combining ancient mythology, clinical psychology, and personal anecdotes, Peterson offers a guide to living a meaningful life in a world of suffering. The rules, ranging from "Stand up straight with your shoulders back" to "Pet a cat when you encounter one on the street," serve as metaphors for taking personal responsibility and establishing order. The book encourages readers to strengthen their character and speak the truth to combat the inherent chaos of existence [3.3].
