This book is the follow-up book to Peterson's first book, "12 Rules for Life." What is noteworthy about this book compared to the former is the emphasis on suffering. One of Jordan's greatest strengths as a speaker is his ability to present commonly understood ideas from a completely different perspective. I recommend taking the time to read this book. It took me a while to finish because it took me time to digest the information. If you're interested in reading about philosophy and psychology, as well as a lot of other topics, I definitely recommend this book.

Favorite Quotes: 

• “That which you most need to find will be found where you least wish to look.”

• “Humility: It is better to presume ignorance and invite learning than to assume sufficient knowledge and risk the consequent blindness.” 

• “You do not choose what interests you. It chooses you. Something manifests itself out of the darkness as compelling, as worth living for. Following that, something moves us further down the road to the next meaningful manifestation. And so it goes as we continue to seek, develop, grow, and thrive. It is a perilous journey, but it is also the adventure of our lives.”

• “When you are tightly boxed in or cornered—all too often by your own stubborn and fixed adherence to some unconsciously worshipped assumptions—all there is to help you is what you have not yet learned.”
