AVAILABLE IN A PRINT VERSION (different title): "FINDING ONE SELF: A TEENAGER'S GUIDE TO JORDAN PETERSON'S RULES FOR LIFE

Countless young men have been helped by the ideas of Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson. The question remains: does this eminent psychologist's opus of work have something to offer young women?

Annette Poizner, a counselor and life coach, suggests it does: young women will be fascinated to learn about the map of meaning that they harbor within, a map that the unconscious mind builds to manage chaos, an inherent part of reality. In this book, readers access a peek into the galaxy of Jordan Peterson, learning rules and ideas that they can implement to mastermind their best self, enhance self-image and use as an anchor, in the face of today's normlessness.

Drawing on decades of clinical experience, Poizner speaks directly to young women, tailoring the rules to a reality heavy on electronics, light on consensus. Short chapters provide usable soundbites. Readers walk away with strategies to make changes and get a personalized introduction to work that actually has a point of origin in many of the world's most ancient wisdom traditions.
