The book is divided into chapters with each title representing one of the following twelve specific rules for life as explained through an essay. Peterson stated that it "isn't only written for other people. The early vision and promotion of the book aimed to include all rules, with the title "42". Peterson's interest in writing the book grew out of a personal hobby of answering questions posted on Quora one such question being "What are the most valuable things everyone should know?", to which his answer comprised 42 rules.
A sequel, Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life, was published in March 2021. The book is written in a more accessible style than his previous academic book, Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief (1999). Peterson went on a world tour to promote the book, receiving much attention following an interview with Channel 4 News. The book topped bestseller lists in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom, and had sold over five million copies worldwide by the end of 2020. In the book, Peterson offers practical advice for how to navigate the complexities of life and find meaning and purpose. It provides life advice through essays in abstract ethical principles, psychology, mythology, religion, and personal anecdotes. 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos is a 2018 self-help book by the Canadian clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson.
