What does everyone in the modern world need to know? Renowned psychologist Jordan B. Peterson's answer to this most difficult of questions uniquely combines the hard-won truths of ancient tradition with the stunning revelations of cutting-edge scientific research. Humorous, surprising, and informative, Dr. Peterson tells us why skateboarding boys and girls must be left alone, what terrible fate awaits those who criticize too easily, and why you should always pet a cat when you meet one on the street.

Story4 out of 5 stars 13
When an eco-tourist is infected with the larvae of an ancient parasite, their effect on him is staggering. He becomes ill and dies, only to become resurrected hours later with his aging in rapid reverse. Better than any anti-aging treatment, his lined and brittle skin soon becomes smooth and supple, his thinning hair lush and full, his sagging body taut and slim once more.

All in all I enjoyed the book:
Nitpicking...
Seems though that the writer needs more research into Southern American culture, nobody, and I mean NOBODY in the US deep south calls a semi truck a "Lorrie!" I think a slip like that in the wrong Atlanta bar might end up in fight!
Dont bother with the "Enhanced audio" version, its hissy (old tape?) and I cant imagine it sounds any better than "format 4"
Also, the chapter break music was just a waste, the same four bars of contrived "suspense" music only slowed the pace down.
