After struggling with health problems for more than a year, Dr. Jordan Peterson is back with the follow-up to his international bestseller, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos.

Although he started writing the book before COVID-19, it covers topics on everyone’s mind today because of excessive governmental intrusions designed to combat the China coronavirus.
