JBP-001 · Peterson, 12 Rules for Life (2018) — The Twelve Rules
S789 Make your physical bearing a signal of directed authority.
S790 The standard that governs how you treat others is functionally the same standard that governs how you treat yourself.
S791 Deliberately form bonds with people whose will is directed toward your benefit.
S792 Compare yourself along the temporal axis — against who you were — not along the social axis against who another person is today.
S793 Shape your children's behavior toward what is good, because the kinship bond has a structural requirement.
S794 Order your immediate domain first; then you may make epistemic judgments about the wider world.
S795 Pursue what increases in value over time, not what offers the fastest path to an outcome.
S796 Signal truth — or if the ideal is not fully achievable, at minimum: I will not deliberately lie.
S797 Operate with the model that your interlocutor may hold knowledge you do not have.
S798 Make your signal carry precise and particular thought.
S799 Children need increasing encounters with risk because directed capacity grows from it.
S800 Amid growing suffering, perceive the individual moment of positive affect.
