¿Cuáles son las reglas esenciales para vivir que todos deberíamos conocer? Regla n.° 1: mantente erguido con los hombros hacia atrás…, como las langostas; regla n.° 8: di la verdad, o por lo menos no mientas; regla n.° 11: no molestes a los niños cuando montan en monopatín; regla n.° 12: cuando te encuentres un gato por la calle, acarícialo. Jordan Peterson, «el pensador más polémico e influyente de nuestro tiempo», según el Spectator, nos propone un apasionante viaje por la historia de las ideas y de la ciencia —desde las tradiciones antiguas a los últimos descubrimientos científicos— para tratar de responder a una pregunta esencial: qué información básica necesitamos para vivir en plenitud. Con humor, amenidad y espíritu divulgativo, Peterson recorre países, tiempos y culturas al mismo tiempo que reflexiona sobre conceptos como la aventura, la disciplina y la responsabilidad. Todo con el fin de desgranar el saber humano en doce hondas y prácticas reglas para la vida que rompen radicalmente con los lugares comunes de la corrección política.
