Summary Of 12 Rules For Life by Jordan B. Peterson Jordan B. Peterson's "12 Rules for Life" is quite a thought-provoking read in every sense of the word. The Canadian clinical psychologist puts forth his ideas about Being, personality, existence, the interconnectedness of order and chaos, the gender roles assignment discourse and a variety of other controversial topics. It is refreshing, and sometimes confusing, how he weaves biblical accounts and characters into the telling of his stories. But what might raise the hairs of most are his views on political correctness regarding, cultural appropriation, white-privilege, postmodernism and everything in between. One thing is clear about Peterson. He is a man unapologetic of his views, which are largely unpopular, closely conservative, and politically incorrect. "The 5 Second Rule" is a guide to transforming people and directing them towards taking action, changing their behavior and taking on the challenges of life head-on without worry. It was devised by Mel Robbins in his book "The 5 Second Transform Your Life, Work, and Confidence with Everyday Courage" (2017), in which she explains the science behind the 5 second rule, how it works and how to apply it to the important areas of life. According to Robbins, individuals only have five seconds to act on an impulse before they hesitate. In order to overrule one’s hesitation, he/she must commit to acting by the time he/she counts down 5-4-3-2-1. Robbins refers to these moments as “push moments.” These are the times when you have a thought about something such as approaching someone new or speaking up in a meeting. If individuals act rather than think, they will grow more courage and gain confidence.
