With that bolded excerpt being inside the Audible audiobook 30 minutes through Chapter 10. It is part of “Chapter 10: Be Precise in Your Speech”. One of the excerpts, which I’ve marked in bold, seems to be the story you are remembering. If you search 12 Rules for Life for “cat”, most of what appears is entries within “Rule 12: Pet a cat when you encounter one on the street”, which is a chapter about turning everyday fears and inaction into delights, as something to live for in this world of pain - Elon Musk answers the “why get up in the morning?” question by making humanity spacefaring - Peterson answers it by petting cats.īelow are the relevant excerpts that I found that seemed relevant (looking for “cat” and “monster”). Kindle books have Whispersync with their Audible Audiobooks, so one can search for a term in the kindle book, then Audible will ask if you want to go to that position. Hi Antidote for Chaos, do you mean Peterson’s 12 Rules for Life book, that has the subtitle Antidote to Chaos. Does anyone know where I can find this story? It would be much appreciated if you could point me in the right direction. However, the cat grows and grows into a being large enough to fill the house (like a monster?) - thought it almost sounded like elephant in the room. The inhabitants of the house behave as if it doesn’t exist. The way I remember the story is that there was a cat that was sitting on a bed in a house. I have every intention of listening to the audible book but it could take hours to get to that bit and I would so LOVE to know now.
I keep thinking about the story because it summed up a situation in my childhood. I walked into the room a couple of weeks ago and heard an intriguing story by JBP that really resonated with me but we can’t remember where it is in the book. My husband has downloaded the ‘12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos’ audible book and has been listening to it. Myself and my husband recently went to the Jordan Peterson event in Edinburgh and loved it.
