Rule 2: Your Resposible for Yourself, Act Like It

    

      Who here loves their pets????? I know I do. Especially my little loveable black kitty, COCO (He's a guy.) When you take care of our pets, the smallest sign of sickness, we run to the vet and make sure they get everything and take all the medicine. We don't question it. So why do we question everything a doctor tells us, even if it's as simple as a pill. Hmmmm......

     It's okay if you do because we are more than just science we are dramatic ass people, who feel.

Order & Chaos

     This we all understand and you will see that Peterson takes the biblical approach to this. 
Female = Chaos
Male = Order
As much as I wanted to argue this in the beginning and say that this was far beyond sexist. The way he explains it though, Its actually pretty true. I want all the ladies who read it let me know what you think!!!

Rule 1. Stand Up

!!!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!!!

       Okay, so since the advice in this book is so good and needs to be spread throughout the world. I am gonna give you snapshots of every single rule. Hopefully, it will intrigue you enough to go out and read the full book and get full in-depth experience that this book will give you. I will say don't take the book lightly, really read and think about what the book is saying and how it pertains to your own life.

     SCIENCE! That's the first word that popped into my head during this chapter, at least in the beginning of it. The author talks about birds, lobsters, and other animals. He goes into detail about each one's way of showing dominance and the hierarchy system that they enforce because that is what they all have in common. That is what the chapter goes on to talk about.

     Peterson goes on to provide the benefits of living higher in the hierarchy and the awful circumstances of being lower. The ones who are lower are stuck living with the circumstances in a destructive loop that only drags them lower or doesn't allow them to grow. At that point, your life really isn't happy, its just filled with anxiety.

     The author then goes into the hierarchy that is awfully known as bullying. People are bullied when they can't fight back or when they choose not to fight, not to be violent. Bullying is put up with at all times of someone's life. STOP TAKING IT!!! Everyone allows this to cause them to hit rock bottom. The thing about rock bottom is its real, and they only way to go up is to accept that you have hit rock bottom. "Standing up physically also implies and invokes and demands standing up metaphysically. Standing up means voluntarily accepting the burden of Being."

5. 12 Rules for Life

   

  I'm going to be completely honest, this was like a mixture between an enjoyable, informative, intelligent, book, and a supremely boring textbook. I enjoyed this book to a certain point. There were a couple of times when I had to stop because it was losing my interest. The thing that added to the difficulty of getting through this book, was the fact that it was so monotone and seem to not have a lot of emotion in it. I am pretty disappointed because this book had some really deep lessons that really change your life and the way that you view it, and I haven't come across some of the information listen in this book anywhere else. Plus, it's not just information. It's actual experiences from the author's life and in addition, he uses biblical stories too. 

     I would give this book, like a 7.5 out of 10, but that is just my opinion. My boyfriend enjoyed this book a lot more than I did, but at the same time, he did admit with me the fact that there are some spots that are a struggle to get through because it is just so boring and unappealing.

     But don't let that stop you from reading this book, please. It will have an effect on your life even if that effect is the smallest effect of all time.   

B. Step Forward/Conclude

Step Forward and Be Judged. Everyone gets judged, whether you know it or not. Whether it's to your face or behind your back. Whether your opinion-heavy or opinion-light. You need to accept criticism. Don’t make their opinions your life though. You set your own life, you achieve your own potential.

That doesn’t mean become crazy trying to prove everyone wrong.

 This roots from uncertainty. Not knowing if people are gonna think you're stupid or call you names or say that whatever your doing is the wrong way of doing it. A lot of people, if not everyone, is afraid of the things that are uncertain in life. But you know what’s behind that uncertainty? Opportunity! If you just avoid the things that aren’t definite, if you don’t take risks, you can miss the opportunity of a lifetime

There wasn't much that I could say about this book, but I would definitely like for you guys to read it and let me know what you think I know that this will change your life in one way or another. It a short, simple and slightly volgure book, but I know that the intentions and advice behind it are nothing but pure. 

Enjoy your day guys!!!

A. Society

SOCIETY! This was something that was mentioned and discussed in the book and This section definitely stood out to me a lot in the book, because society is definitely something that is hurting people. Everyone tries to live up to those impossible and unnecessary. Yes, it is true that some people really want those things that society advertises to the extreme. But then again, there are people who actually just like living a simple life. Or there are the people who think that the absolutely think that what the see is something they need more than anything. Realize, you can live without a huge ass or a super nice Tesla/BMW/Ferrari. They are not needed. You might agree with me now, but as soon as you see it you gonna change your mind in a flash. You have to stay consistent. Either let society rule your life, by choice and live to those expectations or just don’t. but be positive in your decision. 

4. Unfu*k Yourself

      Look let’s be honest with each other, the main reason that I chose this book is because there was a curse word in the name, no other reason. I hadn’t heard of the book before I decided to pick it up. I honestly didn’t know what to expect when I began reading it. It was something to try, I heard a lot of people said they wanted to read it, which spiked my interest to read it even more. As I began I loved the book, I loved how real it felt and the curse words I think was what added that. The author was real and wasn’t scared to be that way, and I appreciate it, because sometimes bluntness is the way to get through to people. The only thing that I would say is bad about this book is that it does tend to get bland towards the end of the book, which is surprising. Though it is true, I found myself starting to space out as I was reading, and instead of reading I was more like skimming.  Don’t let that stop you from reading it though, cause it does have some really important things that are helpful, and should be brought to the light.

E. To Conclude

       There is a lot for everyone to learn about personal finance and how to manage your money and what you do so that you can be wealthy, and the way to know if you are truly wealthy is to ask yourself “ How long will I survive without a job?” Most people live check to check and would last more than a week. But if you want to live to make yourself rich and no one else you need to grow your asset column. This is very possible, and it doesn’t mean starting an entire company it could just you be investing in something that you passionately have interest in. There will be an obstacle standing in your way, like how a lot of people don’t know the difference between an asset and a liability. There is also the more common ones like confidence laziness. These will get in your way but if your passion to be rich not work hard hours at a job you know you hate and hate waking up to you need to go out there and get some real assets, not a house and car. WORK FOR YOURSELF!!!!!
