What does everyone in the modern world need to know? Renowned psychologist Jordan B. Peterson's answer to this most difficult of questions uniquely combines the hard-won truths of ancient tradition with the stunning revelations of cutting-edge scientific research. Humorous, surprising, and informative, Dr. Peterson tells us why skateboarding boys and girls must be left alone, what terrible fate awaits those who criticize too easily, and why you should always pet a cat when you meet one on the street.

Excellent points, albeit long winded
Reviewed: 05-23-18
Good points however could have been far more succinct. Perhaps would be better as a physical book - I found it challenging to keep the flow organized in my head.
Really disliked the narration and felt I was being lectured to.

Story
From childhood, Sarah Robb O'Hagan felt destined to become a champion, but her early efforts at sports, in school, and in music made it clear she was no natural superstar. Unwilling to settle for average, she decided to go Extreme. From working with Richard Branson as a thriving Virgin Atlantic executive in her 20s to being fired and nearly deported a matter of months later, she learned through a series of surprising successes and epic fails that the extremes of her experiences were the engine of her success.

Good compilation of personal growth stories

Interesting stories and I enjoyed both narrators. I feel it is more geared toward people aiming for executive type roles but great message overall.

Story
Just when Glennon Doyle Melton was beginning to feel she had it all figured out - three happy children, a doting spouse, and a writing career so successful that her first book catapulted to the top of the New York Times best seller list - her husband revealed his infidelity and she was forced to realize that nothing was as it seemed. A recovering alcoholic and bulimic, Glennon found that rock bottom was a familiar place. In the midst of crisis, she knew to hold on to what she discovered in recovery: that her deepest pain has always held within it an invitation to a richer life.

Dan makes meditation accessible to the average person with humor, wit and practicality. I will be recommending this to others as I believe meditation is the best thing one can do for themselves.

I like Abraham - Hicks but found this seemed to be the same stuff repeated in different ways - ultimately the message is well worth hearing!
Having the promotion repeated every couple of chapters was off putting.

Strong story, strong voice
Reviewed: 12-02-15
Really enjoyed this book. I liked the personal stories and found it completely relatable. Her message of being open, questioning our stories and letting ourselves be vulnerable are needed in our overly stoic and closed culture.
Brene's voice is well suited for the narration - it is after all her book! There were times I really didn't want to unplug.
