>Here's a sneak peak from Jordan Peterson's new book, Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life.

>Rule 1: Recognize that you are responsible for your emotions.

>We all live in a way that makes us happy, sad, and angry. We can do something about these emotions. We have the capacity to be happier.

>This isn't just about getting rid of our biases, it is about changing ourselves. We are the only creatures on the planet that have free will and are ultimately responsible for our happiness.

>Rule 2: Always, always use the whole of reality.

>If we use the mind as our only measure of truth, we will base our relationships entirely on what we feel. This will prevent us from becoming emotionally open and allowing our heart to guide us.

>Rule 3: Do not pretend to have a monopoly on truth
>Rule 4: It is not necessary to be right to be rational
>Rule 5: To decide that something is potentially bad or bad for you, you must choose to act on it.
>Rule 6: You must respect yourself NOW.
