Jordan B.Peterson:!2 Rules of Life

I bought this book with  great expectations thinking that there would be some very illuminating ideas in this.I have gone through most of the chapters of the book but it is mostly verbiage with nothing solid  to delight the mind.The chapter that impressed me most was Rule No. 1: "Stand up straight with your shoulders back".
The following are the 12 principles:
1.Stand up straight with your shoulders back.
2. Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping.
3.Make friends with people who want the best for you.
4.Compare yourself to who you were yesterday,not to who someone else is today.
5.Do not let your children do anything that makes you dislike them.
6.Set your house in perfect order before you criticize the world
7.Pursue what is meaningful
8.Tell the truth--or at least , don't lie.
9.Assume that the person you are listening to might know something you don't.
10.Be precise in your speech
11.Do not bother children when they are skateboarding.

12.Pet a cat when you encounter one on the street
