About this listen
It takes the average person 49.5 minutes to read 7,000 words. For the price of a coffee and a time investment of roughly three-and-a-half percent of your day, I believe the wisdom in this book to be well worth it's value.
Here's my sales pitch: The writing will not be quite up to the same standard, and the formatting is also not done by a professional. If you need a story behind each point to reinforce it, then please, go and buy the original. However, if, like me, you aren't a fan of the "fluff" that comes along with most books and would much rather skip to the nuggets of wisdom and actionable content in a very easily absorbed, enjoyable way including key takeaways - then I believe this is the book for you.
Save yourself time and money. I am only releasing summaries of the books that have made a true positive impact in my life. If you decide to purchase, I truly hope you enjoy and benefit from it. Amplify your knowledge in a simple, efficient manner. Take action, get your copy today!

Summary: 12 Rules for Life by Jordan B. Peterson: An Antidote to Chaos (Disclaimer: This is NOT the original book. If you’re looking for the original book, it is available from Amazon and Audible.) Called “one of the most important thinkers to emerge on the world stage for many years,” by The Spectator, Jordan B. Peterson's 12 Rules for Life is a truly thought-provoking read. How should we live in the modern world? Peterson aims to answer this question using his unique blend of ancient traditions, religion and scientific research.

Dan Sullivan, the world's leading coach for highly successful entrepreneurs, wants you to know that achieving 10X growth is exponentially easier than striving for 2X growth. Most find this idea confusing at first because simply imagining 10X growth causes them to think they need to do 10X more work to achieve it. However, being a 10X entrepreneur is nothing like what most people think.

Sydney Shaw, like every single woman in New York, has terrible luck with dating. She’s seen it all: men who lie in their dating profile, men who stick her with the dinner bill, and worst of all, men who can't shut up about their mothers. But finally, she hits the jackpot. Her new boyfriend is utterly perfect. He's charming, handsome, and works as a doctor at a local hospital. Sydney is swept off her feet. Then the brutal murder of a young woman—the latest in a string of deaths across the coast—confounds police. The primary suspect? A mystery man who dates his victims before he kills them.

Chapter summaries
I really like the end of chapter summaries for a quick refresher. I was hoping for a summary of all the summaries at the end. I gave this summary of Grit to my grandson in his now third year of college majoring in Sports Psychology & an aspiring baseball pitcher who pitched in college nationals last year as a 17 year old. Now because of COVID, baseball was canceled & we will see whether he perservers with grit & passion or changes course. I will also give this to a son who is a parent to one gritty successful child & another child who is unmotivated & gives up easily when faced with needed practice. This parent was a psych major so should find it interesting. Your audio summary is helpful for busy people & a good summary of what I read in Duckworth’s book. Thank you.

A Well-done, Nicely Organized Summary
I appreciate the author covering each chapter individually, as opposed to combining everything together. At the end of each chapter the key takeaways are listed out. The narrator did a good job as well.
I'll still buy the full book because now I'm interested in hearing about it on a deeper level. But If you don't have time for the full book, I recommend this.

Great for those who don’t have time to waste
I love audio books especially when they are condensed into a great insightful format that allows we to get through more subject matter in less time. This does that perfectly.

Great summary!
The complete version of this book has a ton of great reviews, but the negative ones all said the same thing...could be drastically shortened. This summary does the job. Two Thumbs up!
