In 12 Rules for Life, clinical psychologist and celebrated professor at Harvard and the University of Toronto Dr. Jordan B. Peterson helped millions impose order on the chaos of their lives. Now, in this bold sequel, Peterson delivers 12 more lifesaving principles for resisting the exhausting toll that our desire to order the world inevitably takes. In a time when the human will increasingly imposes itself over every sphere of life - from our social structures to our emotional states - Peterson warns that too much security is dangerous.

Foundational, for everyone
Revisado: 04-27-21
This book, paired with the earlier book, puts forth s reasoned and reasonable approach to life. Dr Peterson integrates observations from science, literature and religion that illuminate the human experience and lays a foundation for successful living. Whether religious, agnostic, or atheist, this book puts all of the observational and intuitive experience into context. Accept what you will, reject what you must, nevertheless there is much to build upon as you think and consider.

Raised in the extreme religious cult called the Children of God, Juliana Buhring was frequently punished for being a rebel and finally broke away. Her soul mate was an explorer seeking the source of unmapped rivers in Africa. When he was killed by a crocodile, her world went dark. To escape paralyzing grief, Buhring set herself a goal. Never having seriously ridden a bike, she set out to ride one around the world.

Moving Account of an Epic Ride
Revisado: 07-08-16
Juliana Buhring sets a Guiness Book record for a woman cycling around the world. She is inspired to do so stemming from personal loss, tests herself, and triumphs.
I have read several accounts of long cycle tours. All of them were enjoyable, but this story stands out. First, because it condenses the journey into an account that is never tedious or boring for someone not already enamored of endurance cycling. Second, it is accessible to anyone as a great human interest story irrespective of their interest in the sport of cycling.
Juliana had a remarkably difficult childhood recounted in a second, earlier, book -- Not Without My Sister. She weaves part of that story into this account as she meets people and places connected with her past. We are left to wonder -- as likely does she -- whether it is the experience gained in survival or the innate qualities of the person who survived that is responsible for succeeding in this journey. Whichever is true, this is a riveting account from inside Juliana's mind as she circles the world.

John Brown is a lightning rod of history. Yet he is poorly understood and most commonly described in stereotypes, as a madman, martyr, or enigma. Not until Patriotic Treason has a biography or history brought him so fully to life, in scintillating prose and moving detail, making his life and legacy - and the staggering sacrifices he made for his ideals - fascinatingly relevant to today's issues of social justice and to defining the line between activism and terrorism.

A Jarring Reminder of Antebellum America
Revisado: 12-22-06
This is an excellent book for anyone interested in American history. John Brown's America comes alive with all of the attitudes to which we now find it difficult to relate: the political struggle over "slave state" vs. "free state" as the nation expands West, the Fugitive Slave Act, and the Dred Scott decision. If you're a little fuzzy on "bloody Kansas" and what that was all about, this book will make sense of it. You will come away with an appreciation for the dilemma that moral men faced in the 1850s, why John Brown made a remarkable sacrifice, and how remarkable it truly was.
Whether you have read a lot of Civil War history, or very little, this is a compelling read.
