In 2018, Dr. Jordan Peterson released “12 Rules for Life,” a book that sold more than 5 million copies worldwide. Of all the rules, number six carries the most truth.
In short, before attempting to change the world, Peterson advised readers to get their own houses in order first. Some authors, rather predictably, were quick to ridicule Peterson’s advice. But the clinical psychologist’s rule, like all his rules, was (and still is) important.
Rule number six is not just applicable to individuals; it’s relevant to countries. If a house (or a nation) is divided, then it is destined to fall. China knows this only too well. Does the United States?
