Just started 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos by Jordan B. Peterson. I read the “Overture,” which gives some background on why he wrote the book and sets the stage, but I’m officially starting at Rule 1. I’ve always liked much of what Peterson says, even if I don’t always fully get it, and I’m excited to dive into the rules now. Marking this as page 1 since that’s where the first chapter begins.

In the chapter “Not Just One Bear… Five!”, Jim Allen recounts a close call in 1959 when he encountered five bears at once. It really shows just how unpredictable and wild Alaska can be. You never know what might happen out there.

I read Chapter 15. It’s about the last habit rule: make it satisfying. We’re more likely to keep habits if they feel good right away. Our brains want quick rewards, so even small wins help.

Only on page 25 and just read “Wilderness Nightmare.” Holy shit. That story messed me up. Way heavier and more intense. I had to stop for a second. This book is wild already.
