"Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?" This is the title of the celebrated painting by French artist Paul Gauguin, questions that we would all like answered; but one can read all the libraries in the world and have every experience imaginable and still not know the answer to these questions. U of T professor and clinical psychologist Dr. Jordan B. Peterson offers a way to find the answer with his global bestseller 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos, but this will only take one so far on their journey to personal resolution that will answer Gauguin's three questions; the rest of the way has to be negotiated by special effort, which One Rule to Live By: Be Good by Georgian Bay author Orest Stocco spells out by "opening the door to a new way of perceiving, a new way of thinking and understanding," an unbelievable true story that defies comprehension; a story that takes the mystery out of what the great psychologist C. G. Jung called "the way of what is to come."
