In this episode, Michael and Caleb review Jordan Peterson’s book 12 Rules for Life.

We each pick out 1 idea we believe is true, 1 false, and 1 provocative. There’s a lot to say about this controversial book. Both of us think it has a number of life-changing lessons, but also gets important things wrong.

(15:49) Tell the Truth

(23:55) Clean More Than Your Room

(36:03) Too Much Freud

(45:25) The Centrality of Myth

(56:49) Sacrifice
