The #1 Sunday Times bestseller from 'the most influential public intellectual in the Western world right now' (New York Times) - now in paperback.

How should we live properly in a world of chaos and uncertainty?

Jordan Peterson has helped millions of people, young and old, men and women, aim at a life of responsibility and meaning. Now he can help you.

Drawing on his own work as a clinical psychologist and on lessons from humanity's oldest myths and stories, Peterson offers twelve profound and realistic principles to live by. After all, as he reminds us, we each have a vital role to play in the unfolding destiny of the world.

Deep, rewarding and enlightening, 12 Rules for Life is a lifeboat built solidly for stormy seas: ancient wisdom applied to our contemporary problems.

A celebration of our female friendships, of our messy years, and of growing up together. Glittering with wit, heart, and humour, its a book to share with every woman youve ever been lucky enough to call a friend.

Nearly everything I know about love, I've learnt from my long-term friendships with women.

I know that love can be loud and jubilant. It can be dancing in the swampy mud and the pouring rain at a festival and shouting YOU ARE AMAZING over the band. Its laughing until you wheeze. Its walking along the street together on a Saturday night and feeling an entire city is yours.

I also know that love is a pretty quiet thing. Its lying on the sofa together drinking coffee, talking about where youre going to go that morning to drink more coffee. Its folding down pages of books you think theyd find interesting.

I know that love happens under the splendour of fireworks and sunsets, but also happens when youre lying on blow-up airbeds in a childhood bedroom, sitting in A&E or in the queue for a passport.
