I mean, if its an antidote for chaos, it kinda assumes that chaos is the problem your having if you follow the book.

Plus, you're conflating two different works of his into one, @flyingfoxel

If it isnt your problem then it stands to reason the rules wont help much

I'm talking generally about the person and when I mention the book I'm talking specifically about the book

^

I'm talking about Maps of Meaning

If you've got a good grip on your life, you probably won't need 12 rules

Virgin ww2 vs chad 7 years war.

If your life is a clusterfuck it may do you some good

There are people who literally thrive on chaos. Aswell which is something he doesn't really take into account. I know plenty of artists and people in the military who don't feel normal unless they are actively in some chaotic situation.

Maps is the more verbose and convoluted 12 rules @M4Gunner

@flyingfoxel They're thriving on chaos, because they're trying to control it

I dont think anyone thrives in chaos, its just some people know how to work it into some kind of order better then others.

@Banks=Gay This

there are some people go through such extremes that normal orderly life isn't enough for them they actually require crazyshit to be happening around them to stay sane and act normal.

That's not it at all, tbh

Because the crazy s*** is their new normal

It's because the mundane is boring, an unchallenging

@M4Gunner 12 rules is the more focused and slightly dumbed for the layman version of maps, IIRC

Yes @Fitzydog

same ideas and lessons, but Maps is far more <:think_woke:378717098681171988>

@King Canuck It's the why vs the how

Wot

You get the audiobook version of both his books for like two bucks

My ma already figured me out after I bought Conscience of a Conservative by my boi.

Rules is for people that were raised by the religiously ambiguous

Same tbh

But Rules seems more actually useful then alot of these other books imo

Im still not gonna buy it

It's more like a textbook for sound living tbh lol

Ditto books on manipulating people are far more interesting and far more useful

like, you're not going to find a basic algebra book useful, are you?

But some people will

Same

oof, coming from a programmer

Well not basic algebra but yes

Math is my worst subject by far

YOU GET MY POINT

The only reason why I almost failed high school
