It is no secret that the mischaracterization of IDW leading figures (primarily Dr Peterson) as Alt-Right avatars is a raging wave.
The primary tool for that is forming sloppy opinioms via hasty extrapolation of quotes presented out of context in YouTube snippets. Poorly informed critics give birth and sustenance to fanatics merely by using "short version" as valid research.
And amidst all this, here is Joe Schmoe Publishing circulating a summary-- a SUMMARY, of Dr Peterson's "12 Rules for Life".
What can lead to more misconstruing of his ideas than a book he did not publish bearing his name on the cover as the author?
The part that is disappointing is that someone might pick up at that book and completely miss out on the value in Peterson's book.
I believe that the above bookfalls under a simple word of Libel. Now whether or not Dr. Peterson decides it is worth his time to legally destroy these clowns is another issue completely. Though it is completely with in his legal right to do so.

Odd... apparently there is more than 1 publisher for this book. Goodreads.com is selling 2 versions, other than this one, and from a different publisher, and published early 2018. Surely this didn’t go unnoticed??
I just looked up the title on Goodreads. They have the original and another "summary". I wonder if Random House allowed this....
