You inspired me to start writing. I used the Essay app to write in French about ideas and thinkers you exposed me to… I sent one article to a French magazine I respect, they liked it and published me. I sent a second one that they published this week… It is difficult to write. Each sentence makes me suffer, it’s like giving birth. But it’s a great adventure I’m also a student of the Peterson Academy which is wonderful. Merci du fond du cœur! Que le Bon Dieu vous garde!
In 2017 you responded to a comment of mine with a word of encouragement. I didn’t have a father and it was legitimately the first time a man I respected greatly encouraged me that I could remember. I was in my early 30s. Married now, working on having kids. Thanks for helping the men out. Hopefully another generation doesn’t have to deal with this crap.
500 podcasts, 8.42 million TH-cam subscribers, over 10 million copies of one of his books sold, thousands of personal testimonies of people being encouraged by his messages, this is a Canadian that makes me proud to be his fellow countryman.
And, incredibly, I recently a supposedly 'educated' person who had not heard of him. Yet more evidence that the supposedly educated tend to be dumb and uninformed.
I want to send my sorrowful condolences on the passing of your father, Jordan. Im sending you peace and healing on these next steps of your journey and the transition period. Thank the heavens for Peterson Senior, whom without, we wouldn't have the voice of a generation. I just ordered my copy of "We Who Wrestle With God" simply because you helped bring me back to God. I still haven't walked into a house of God yet, but man, have i leaned on faith again. Thank you for everything. Truly, and emphatically, thank you 🙏 Godspeed Dr. Peterson ❤
I discovered jordan right around the time i had my daughter, my first child, and i think that may have been exactly the right time. Never have i ever come across any content so thought provoking and beneficial for my development as a man and a father. I wish i could shake his hand and thank him in person.
Exact same experience as you, right before I had my daughter/first child during the 2020 lockdown. Life-changing and feel truly blessed on how I evolved as a man, husband and father, offering an abundance of credit and tribute to this brilliant human.
Congratulations Dr. Peterson. I’ve been blessed to reach the age of 84 and enjoy your thought provoking, and often controversial, (a good thing in these present times) podcasts/conversations. Bravo.
It’s so inspiring to hear and know that at 84 years old, you are seeking out different forms of information that expand the mind and not settling for cable television only. I only hope to reach that age and be as open-minded and well informed as you!
One of the important factors of the major cultural shift in the western world toward truth. It is a wiser world because of you, Jordan. Congrats on your amazing success!
You changed my life. Thank you for everything you've done. "We're running at 40% most of us, because we're half in and half out. And that's not surprising because life is difficult. But what if you were 90% in? Or 95% in? OR ALL IN? You're all in anyways, right? It's a life and death game, no one gets out of this. Everyone dies. You might as well commit yourself, and you might as well commit yourself to the highest good you can attain." Jordan Peterson - 12 Rules For Life Tour - Melbourne, Australia
Haha, I tweeted a summarized version of this like 6 years ago. This quote hit me hard. So simple and somewhat self evident, but profound. Like you’re gonna die anyway, why not try to be the best you can be. “What else is there to do?”
From 6:50 to 14:00, the discussion about the fatherhood of Mr. Rubin brings about the controversial subject of surrogacy. However elegantly it has gone through in this particular case, the principle of the operation is hiring a womb and purchase of a newborn child and thus can be labelled as human trafficking. Such trafficking is the object of podcast n°372 which is chilling. It seems hard to believe that the horrible side of the trafficking can be fought efficiently and eradicated when a more glamourous version receives praise, even indirectly. To mitigate this critique, please note that it is expressed thanks to your own teachings summarized as : "speak up when you see something wrong, or it will become worse". Many thanks for the quality of your lectures, books and podcasts. Respects
Congrats Mr. Peterson. You are my modern-day CS Lewis. You are a true an absolute life-changing hero! You have already and will continue to change this entire world for the better and I thank God so much for you and everything you’ve done and continue to do! You are a true blessing.. and you are 100% part of these X-Men out there saving the world. A big part! God Bless You🙏 May you and your family have a very LONG and HEALTHY life!
Months ago I was very lost. Dr. Peterson has been a light in the dark ❤ thank you so very much. Today I have committed myself to cutting alcohol out of my life. This will take time whereas making beer and sprits is my vocation. Sacrifice and all that 🎉 wish me luck 🙏 thanks again for helping me strive to be better
It is great to have Dave Rubin on Dr. Peterson’s 500th episode. The first time I heard Dr. Peterson is on the Rubin Report and I have followed Dr. Peterson since. The Genesis series changed my life. Thank you!
Thank you for fighting for everyone's in Canada. I am so sorry how you have been treated by this college of physicians and surgeon and federal government agencies so abusive towards yourself. I pray for you to continue on.
I've been watching since 2016 and it has been a wild ride. Things have changed so much for me for the better I can't even describe it properly. Dr. Peterson was inspired
Jordan Peterson always presents himself in a clean, professional, well spoken, well dressed, concise, articulate, educated, well thought, and meaningful way such that (to this point) no one has successfully managed to discredit him in any meaningful way that has been effective. He strives for truth, this is why they will always fail. God Bless him and his family
Thank you for everything Jordan. I am 24 Years old - currently in stationary treatment for my depression. Without your resources I would have never fully appreciated the help I get here. By you I was enlightened, entertained, heard and inspired. Everyday is tough but because of your corpus of work I have a perspective - a light at the end of the tunnel so to speak. Life feels more intense and in turn more beautiful both for the good and the bad moments. I wonder what is going to come... If I'll be able to get this mental struggle under control but man... you made me have enough doubt about my cynisism and bitterness to now see cracks in this black wall infront of me. There is a way - day after day. Best Regards Jordan. In for every episode to come!
Dr. Peterson, you help me take on my cross and believe in Jesus, you're the father figure I always dream about, thank you for everything you've done in my life, its beyond what I can imagine, I'm so grateful your generosity and loving heart! pray for you and Tammy
I feel so privileged to be Canadian and have one of the greatest minds of this country, who has the courage and bravery to speak in a world where speaking has become dangerous, you have been a fundamental part of my journey towards conservatism, and not feeling ashamed to feel the way I do, despite the family members that disagree with me because they ‘heard it on the news’. I’ve gone through a bit of a rollercoaster throughout my life, as most of us do, and much of the trials that I have endured have led me to holding such strong opinions, beliefs and values, but no one bothers to ask me why I’ve more recently become more fascinated by conservative politics, they’d rather just tell me they are ‘worried that I’ve been brainwashed’ which, to hear from a family member, is unbelievably condescending and disappointing, but I digress. Thank you for being strong, thank you for being human and striving for progress, not perfection, thank you for standing up for our rights as Canadians (and for Americans as well, our neighbours), I wish I had been able to sit in one of your classes, but your online lectures are almost just as good ❤
I have and still am following a similar journey. Although I dont have family members around me to tell me such things, but Im sure my coworkers would if I told them everything I believe and question now. 😂 Hang in there ❤ There are many more of us Canadians out there than it seems. And we will all show up when it comes time to vote next year. Hopefully in the spring 🤞
Got a copy of "We Who Wrestle With God" today. Got the audiobook, too. Can't wait to jump in. Thank you, Dr. Peterson. You're enriching countless lives all over the world.
Thank you Doctor Peterson from the bottom of my heart . You have helped me and my daughter immensely getting my life in order and bringing me back to christianity by understanding the Bible through your perspective. I deeply appreciate you.
Prayers for Canada, America and our whole world are sent up daily by me with added prayers for others to join in! There's lots that needs to happen and though we may feel relieved after one battle, the need for diligent prayer is ongoing. Thanks for all you do, Dr Peterson.
Congratulations to both of you men. I hope you both can go forward in good health and can continue to live exceptional lives. Thanks for all you've done for us normal folks. God speed.
You are in no small part responsible for turning me from being a narcissistic, hedonistic, socialist into a conservative Christian who is trying to be a good person. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I started watching peterson to supliment my psychology study in highschool in 2015 and watching the audience continue to grow without stopping has been surreal. I only hope to live long enough to be able to give credit to this man through my own writings
It’s so wonderful that so many watching have turned their lives and minds around and are fulfilled in life. Sometimes I feel like my husband and I are very alone in our thinking. Even our church doesn’t understand us.But here is a whole community of people aiming up. I hope whole communities will come together for good. Near me, preferably!!!
I sifted through my youtube history (props to youtube/google for keeping that around), and found that I've been searching for JP content since mid 2017 and I specifically searched for the Rubin/JP/Shapiro discussion in early 2018, too (and I remember watching it). Good times, and I'm very glad to have been around roughly since the beginning. Look how far things have come!
Congratulations on your continuing growth and for carrying the many millions of disillusioned souls upon your journey. Here's to 500 more🌟 Live long, Jordan Peterson 🙏🏽
Love from East Coast Florida gentlemen. This one was great. I am 30 and My son is now 8 and I've been lucky enough to have been a fan of Jordan the whole time. Now the fathers I aspire to be like tell me I'm a good father 🙏🏻 no better compliment as a young man
I am halfway through and Jordan’s reference to Abraham sorting out the chaos fills me with hope. Why? Well with Trump and his excellent choice of sidekicks who are I believe on “Their spirit of adventures”, I am hopeful they will help restore a world were kindness, community and honesty prevails.
It never ceases to amaze me how Dr Peterson weathered the immense storm of hate and misinformation with such class and determination. I respect you, sir. And I wish you and your loved ones all the best
I use the term onward and upward all the time when faced with adversity. I'm glad my instincts in regard to life's challenges have led me in the right direction. Thank you for your truthful words that can make sense out of madness for the rest of us. Bless you and yours.
What a great discussion. I can’t be understate impactful conversations like this are. In this day and age it’s easy to doubt yourself and worry that you’ve got it all wrong. Whether it’s politics or the more human things, it helps a great deal to know I’m not crazy, and a lot of what I’m feeling is simply part of being human.
Congratulations on all your success, I believe it’s because you are the real deal, a genuine empath and also someone brave enough to tell the truth. I discovered you a few years ago and you’ve changed my world view to the point that I’m improved as a person. Thank you.
Thank you Dr.Peterson from the other side of the world here in Manila, Philippines. I am so thankful and fortunate listening to your lectures since 2014 and to your podcasts, interviews and your talks. I am continuously learning and apply the best practice that I got from to the degree that I can manage like what you said, 'do more than your best because your best is not good enough' There are times that it shed tears, and I still do specially when it struck a chord inside me. Thank you so much.
Tagay! Im an American living in laguna province for 2 years now and i must say your comment brightened my day. This country desperately needs more people listening to and practicing Petersonian ideals.
Such incredibly deep and meaningful parallels between scripture as found in the Bible and the way our dna is encoded to work. My mind being blown by the way JBP explains it would be an understatement🥹. Thank you🙏🏼
Congrats Jordan. I came across you as you stood up to compelled speech in your nation, found your lectures, did every course, bought every book, and have passed them out. Your wisdom has improved my life immensely and my family and I will be eternally grateful.
I owe everything to Jordan's message. I first learned about postmodernism from him in 2016, realized i was falling trapped in that ideology, took on responsibility, decided to make order out of chaos in my life, decided to try and be competent in what i do. Back then in 2016 i was living with my friends. I decided to marry my girlfriend, had a family, got competent in my field, bought a house. All thanks to Jordan
You've been hugely impactful for me. I originally started watching you solely on the Genesis series, because I thought, "Hell, why not?" It was something I was interested in, and had very much longed to delve back into that space. I consider myself a religious person again-all through you-I read your stories and heard your accounts on certain verses in the bible and how it played this role in this certain trait, and how the books of the bible can reflect life challenges we all face. That was all super interesting and really helped me tie any loose ends I originally had about the subject. I started reading 12 Rules for Life after watching some of your interviews with Joe Rogan, and your personal ones here on your channel. That book was great, it taught me to ask the right questions, and how to function in this odd world, and definitely changed me in a lot of ways-and I actually finished it today-as I am posting this comment. I preordered We Who Wrestle with God back in September,. I flipped through when I received it, saw the art, and knew immediately that I was going to enjoy the hell out of it (no pun intended). You've been a huge inspiration for me-especially in my writing, since I do like to write poetry about various abstract topics. Addressing these very real and very dangerous problems is a hard and dangerous thing to do, and you do it, and do it damn well. You traverse and remain strong through adversity. You don't let them get you. You speak the truth and that's all that matters. People can hate, hate, and hate. But you've been great to millions, and for that, you deserve a thank you.
I’m happy to have been with you from the beginning. That first video where you were speaking to students outside and a crowd formed. It went viral. It popped up on my recommendations and the rest is history. I bought your book and watched countless hours of your lectures. You saved me from a 5 year opiate addiction. I became a manager at my job. I have 4 beautiful children. I returned to Christianity. My life is amazing and I have you to thank. God bless you Dr. Peterson.
THANK YOU! You won't say it Jordan, so I will: you left the comfort of officialdom, putting at risk prestigious titles like "doctor" and "professor", in order to tell the truth. Because of that, you have been the father of many nations of truth-seekers. May God make your school the Ark that it was meant to be, carrying the best of Western thought into the future. Dave, you are such a great communicator, and you always try to not weight us down with despair. I don't have to tell you that you were so well placed in this battle by temperament, talent and your hunger for truth. So happy that it has led you to spirituality and the fullness of family! Great recap, Gents. CONGRATULATIONS on 500 shows!
Today, I have children learning under me, I have a full blown library with the most sophisticated books, the ones you authored inclusive. My house has become a center of illumination. I have grown to 4k plus subscribers with a million plus watch hour. All thanks to you Sir, thank you immensely❤️👑
Thank you Dr. Peterson for all that you do. You’ve been an inspiration to me for many years along with Mr. Rubin and have made me a better father and a better man. As a working man from northern Alberta you’ve made me especially proud to call this place my home.
Jordan and Dave please know how much you’ve made my path so much clearer. I hope you both know that whatever happens I’ve really enjoyed the both of your souls. The everything that you hold dear is something I feel more than I can say. I’m not giving it all to you however you’ve been an inspiration into the woman I’ve become. This world is better for the two of you! My love and hope of light not just for you but for all. Thank you for the knowing of where o have to take myself!
Congratulations 🎉 500 long informative discussions with a multitude of interesting guests. Your followers have been very blessed to have a good man like you to help us, especially young men, through some V e r y trying times. Thankyou Dr Peterson
My condolences for the loss of your father. I sincerely appreciate hearing about your fondness for him. Looking forward to seeing you in Roseville, CA next year. Many blessings.
I just purchased We Who Wrestle With God. You are truly a gift to mankind and I thank you for your words and ideas that everyone on this Earth should listen and pay attention to.
This guy changes the way you look at the world, even if you are of sound mind and character, he shines a light on where you are in your journey out of Plato’s cave, or maybe even, on your way back in to the darkness to spread the word. Thank you man, you are a treasure, that’s for sure.
I was a TYT subscriber who followed Dave's exit. It's no exaggeration when I've concluded : "Dr Peterson truly healed a generation of young men." 🙌 I'm now a born again Christian ✝️ (never in a million years would I ever even think of that been a gay immigrant of colour 😂) but God has used many great voices that lead me to Jesus🙏 praise God! 🎉 with thanks giving, I pray in Jesus name for protection and divine providence and blessings unto His champions of freedom like Dr Peterson and Dave ❤ much love. Amen 🙏
I started tearing up when Jordan gave Dave that book. It's not just a book; it's a manifestation of his work, his time, his energy, and his dedication to getting to the bottom of the most fundamental axioms of life. I am saying this in the truest sense I know how. You could see how much he trusts Dave at the level of an individual. It's obvious they are great friends, and it makes me happy to see that. I am lucky that I found a friend who knows my heart and would never hurt me. She is a new friend but one I know I can trust. And I know she will always be my friend. That's rare, man. I've never had that before, so I cherish it.
Dr. Peterson, only God can bless you for all that you do, especially for standing up for men. In this generation it is increasingly difficult to find someone who will look the crowd in the eye and say "No! Men aren't inherently monsters and oppressors". You inspire each and everyone of us to become better versions of ourselves. God bless you.
Dr. Jordan, you changed my mindset completely when I started listening to you. One of the main things you taught me was how to think and how to speak. It allowed me to thrive in all aspects of my life. Thank you so much, and good luck on the next 500.
Thank you, Dr. Peterson. You are such a great voice in these trying times. Listening to you gives me hope! I just ordered some of your books to give for Christmas gifts. That made my shopping easy! ❤️
You have been a tremendous help to me throughout my late-teen years and through the majority of my 20s. I am so terribly sorry about your fathers passing. I hope you can find peace. God bless you.
@Jordan B Peterson I love the music you use for your introduction, likewise for Tammy. Is it possible to put links in the comments? The music has my hair standing on ends everytime I listen Thank you for all you do I feel blessed to listen to your messages everyday
I love you, Dr. Peterson. I just bought your book wrestling with God. I’ve read four pages of it so far it’s pretty dim in my house. I have to get a lamp, but I look forward to reading the entire thing. I was so happy when I saw it on the shelf For sale I didn’t even know you had this new book especially because I wrestle with God so much. I’m so thankful to know you do too because I want to be with you in heaven you and your lovely wife Tammy and I know that God is drawing you towards him through Jesus Christ, our Messiah, if you ask him to come into your heart and live there he will and then I know I will see you in heaven. May God continue to richly bless you bless the name of the Lord.
Canadian here! Until 2019 I was an NDP supporter, then came CV19 and the Liberal/NDP alliance lied to me about the pandemic, lock downs, masks, mandates, etc. I will never vote for either again. If someone in 2016 told me I’d be an ardent Trump supporter in 2024, I’d never believe it! In my community I was lambasted by saying that I hoped Trump wins. Crazy times! Well done Dr Peterson and Mr Rubin!
Canadian here. Same here. Peterson inspired me to be courageous and Trump is still amazing and scaring me equally. But I completely understand your point.
Reason why mainstream media is below the charts is because they are suggesting and insinuating people what people should think. Podcasters, youtubers and other forms of independant journalism or documentaries advise people to think for themselves. People are not stupid, we only think we are because we've been repeteadly told so.
Glad to see Mr. Peterson's commentary on basically what are " Morals " is not only drawing attention but proving " Truth ". As my Mom said " Without morals we're all just rapid dogs. "
Congratulations on reaching this milestone, Jordan. I, along with many others, look forward to the next 500 🙏. I have seen you speak 4 times now, the first time in Vancouver in Dec 2018. I had the pleasure of meeting Dave in the back room discussion after. How things have changed since then. Thanks for everything you've done. Onwards.....
You inspired me to start writing.
I used the Essay app to write in French about ideas and thinkers you exposed me to… I sent one article to a French magazine I respect, they liked it and published me. I sent a second one that they published this week…

Im so happy to read this comment. It's so good to see other people have a positive life as a consequence of Dr. Peterson's work.
Nothing better than the adventure of parenthood! Best of luck to you! ❤

I'm Canadian and found Jordan in 2016 when he protested against bill c-16. Making pro nouns law! He is an amazing person

We are living in both gr8 and terrible times. Both dave and jorden are helping the world wake up
My condolences on the passing of your parents. I just watched the conversation with Piers, and it brought tears to my eyes.

I bet it goes really hard if you’re stupid
That was a great intro. I agree.
Thanks peterson you have helped me save the world
It certainly has been a long strange trip. Jordan, thank you for guiding us along the way.

@@ragingsilence7 just an old guy! Remember his father? Big time, go back to sleep now ? 😁🇨🇦
Thank you Doctor Peterson from the bottom of my heart . You have helped me and my daughter immensely getting my life in order and bringing me back to christianity by understanding the Bible through your perspective. I deeply appreciate you.
Prayers for Canada, America and our whole world are sent up daily by me with added prayers for others to join in! There's lots that needs to happen and though we may feel relieved after one battle, the need for diligent prayer is ongoing. Thanks for all you do, Dr Peterson.
Congratulations to both of you men. I hope you both can go forward in good health and can continue to live exceptional lives. Thanks for all you've done for us normal folks. God speed.
You are in no small part responsible for turning me from being a narcissistic, hedonistic, socialist into a conservative Christian who is trying to be a good person.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I started watching peterson to supliment my psychology study in highschool in 2015 and watching the audience continue to grow without stopping has been surreal. I only hope to live long enough to be able to give credit to this man through my own writings
It’s so wonderful that so many watching have turned their lives and minds around and are fulfilled in life.
Sometimes I feel like my husband and I are very alone in our thinking. Even our church doesn’t understand us.But here is a whole community of people aiming up.
I hope whole communities will come together for good. Near me, preferably!!!
I am convinced that the "Spirit that brings forth Good" works through Dr. Peterson. Bless this man.
I sifted through my youtube history (props to youtube/google for keeping that around), and found that I've been searching for JP content since mid 2017 and I specifically searched for the Rubin/JP/Shapiro discussion in early 2018, too (and I remember watching it). Good times, and I'm very glad to have been around roughly since the beginning. Look how far things have come!
Incredible. Congratulations Professor Peterson.
Congratulations on your continuing growth and for carrying the many millions of disillusioned souls upon your journey. Here's to 500 more🌟
Live long, Jordan Peterson 🙏🏽
Thanks for giving us the gift of your words and wisdom
Thank you Jordan for standing up for Canadians ❤
You are a treasure and you have helped so many people including myself
❌⭕️❌
I saw those first conversations between Jordan and Dave and I've been listening ever since. Thank you both for sharing your wealth of wisdom.
Love from East Coast Florida gentlemen. This one was great. I am 30 and My son is now 8 and I've been lucky enough to have been a fan of Jordan the whole time. Now the fathers I aspire to be like tell me I'm a good father 🙏🏻 no better compliment as a young man
I am halfway through and Jordan’s reference to Abraham sorting out the chaos fills me with hope. Why? Well with Trump and his excellent choice of sidekicks who are I believe on “Their spirit of adventures”, I am hopeful they will help restore a world were kindness, community and honesty prevails.
It never ceases to amaze me how Dr Peterson weathered the immense storm of hate and misinformation with such class and determination. I respect you, sir. And I wish you and your loved ones all the best
Thank you for everything you’ve done Dr Peterson
I use the term onward and upward all the time when faced with adversity. I'm glad my instincts in regard to life's challenges have led me in the right direction. Thank you for your truthful words that can make sense out of madness for the rest of us. Bless you and yours.
500! Thank you Mr Jordan Peterson.
3 years ago you changed my life, by speaking the truth. Thank you Jordan ❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a great discussion. I can’t be understate impactful conversations like this are. In this day and age it’s easy to doubt yourself and worry that you’ve got it all wrong. Whether it’s politics or the more human things, it helps a great deal to know I’m not crazy, and a lot of what I’m feeling is simply part of being human.
Congratulations on all your success, I believe it’s because you are the real deal, a genuine empath and also someone brave enough to tell the truth. I discovered you a few years ago and you’ve changed my world view to the point that I’m improved as a person. Thank you.
You Are A Blessing To Yourself Dr. Peterson ... 💯%
We thank and commend you, Doctor.
Blessings from Canada 🇨🇦
Jordan Peterson..you are an amazing man. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with the world.
Dave Rubin is my favorite Jordan Peterson guest and Jordan Peterson is my favorite Dave Rubin guest.
Thank you Dr.Peterson from the other side of the world here in Manila, Philippines. I am so thankful and fortunate listening to your lectures since 2014 and to your podcasts, interviews and your talks. I am continuously learning and apply the best practice that I got from to the degree that I can manage like what you said, 'do more than your best because your best is not good enough' There are times that it shed tears, and I still do specially when it struck a chord inside me. Thank you so much.
Tagay! Im an American living in laguna province for 2 years now and i must say your comment brightened my day. This country desperately needs more people listening to and practicing Petersonian ideals.
"Power corrupts, Absolute power corrupts absolutely"! 🙏🏻
Such incredibly deep and meaningful parallels between scripture as found in the Bible and the way our dna is encoded to work. My mind being blown by the way JBP explains it would be an understatement🥹. Thank you🙏🏼
Congrats Jordan. I came across you as you stood up to compelled speech in your nation, found your lectures, did every course, bought every book, and have passed them out. Your wisdom has improved my life immensely and my family and I will be eternally grateful.
Mad respect, Dr. Peterson! Indeed, may God continue to bless you and those you hold dear, sir!
Thank you to both of you for all you have done for all people. ❤ you both!
I owe everything to Jordan's message. I first learned about postmodernism from him in 2016, realized i was falling trapped in that ideology, took on responsibility, decided to make order out of chaos in my life, decided to try and be competent in what i do. Back then in 2016 i was living with my friends. I decided to marry my girlfriend, had a family, got competent in my field, bought a house. All thanks to Jordan
You've been hugely impactful for me. I originally started watching you solely on the Genesis series, because I thought, "Hell, why not?" It was something I was interested in, and had very much longed to delve back into that space. I consider myself a religious person again-all through you-I read your stories and heard your accounts on certain verses in the bible and how it played this role in this certain trait, and how the books of the bible can reflect life challenges we all face. That was all super interesting and really helped me tie any loose ends I originally had about the subject. I started reading 12 Rules for Life after watching some of your interviews with Joe Rogan, and your personal ones here on your channel. That book was great, it taught me to ask the right questions, and how to function in this odd world, and definitely changed me in a lot of ways-and I actually finished it today-as I am posting this comment. I preordered We Who Wrestle with God back in September,. I flipped through when I received it, saw the art, and knew immediately that I was going to enjoy the hell out of it (no pun intended). You've been a huge inspiration for me-especially in my writing, since I do like to write poetry about various abstract topics. Addressing these very real and very dangerous problems is a hard and dangerous thing to do, and you do it, and do it damn well. You traverse and remain strong through adversity. You don't let them get you. You speak the truth and that's all that matters. People can hate, hate, and hate. But you've been great to millions, and for that, you deserve a thank you.
I’m happy to have been with you from the beginning. That first video where you were speaking to students outside and a crowd formed. It went viral. It popped up on my recommendations and the rest is history. I bought your book and watched countless hours of your lectures. You saved me from a 5 year opiate addiction. I became a manager at my job. I have 4 beautiful children. I returned to Christianity. My life is amazing and I have you to thank.
God bless you Dr. Peterson.
JP is a gift 🙏 Thanks for your wisdom sir.
THANK YOU! You won't say it Jordan, so I will: you left the comfort of officialdom, putting at risk prestigious titles like "doctor" and "professor", in order to tell the truth. Because of that, you have been the father of many nations of truth-seekers. May God make your school the Ark that it was meant to be, carrying the best of Western thought into the future. Dave, you are such a great communicator, and you always try to not weight us down with despair. I don't have to tell you that you were so well placed in this battle by temperament, talent and your hunger for truth. So happy that it has led you to spirituality and the fullness of family! Great recap, Gents. CONGRATULATIONS on 500 shows!
Today, I have children learning under me, I have a full blown library with the most sophisticated books, the ones you authored inclusive.
My house has become a center of illumination.
I have grown to 4k plus subscribers with a million plus watch hour.
All thanks to you Sir, thank you immensely❤️👑
Thank you Dr. Peterson for all that you do. You’ve been an inspiration to me for many years along with Mr. Rubin and have made me a better father and a better man. As a working man from northern Alberta you’ve made me especially proud to call this place my home.
Episode 500!!! Let’s go!!!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Dr. Peterson ❤ 🙏 🌏
Jordan and Dave please know how much you’ve made my path so much clearer. I hope you both know that whatever happens I’ve really enjoyed the both of your souls. The everything that you hold dear is something I feel more than I can say. I’m not giving it all to you however you’ve been an inspiration into the woman I’ve become. This world is better for the two of you! My love and hope of light not just for you but for all. Thank you for the knowing of where o have to take myself!
Thank you for all the spiritual knowledge Dr. Peterson. You have made an impact on my life & look forward to seeing you live in January!!
Thank you both. I loved this look back at the Highlights of an amazing Time
I love you. You’ve compelled me towards Jesus
Congratulations 🎉 500 long informative discussions with a multitude of interesting guests. Your followers have been very blessed to have a good man like you to help us, especially young men, through some
V e r y trying times. Thankyou Dr Peterson
This needs more views. The depth of content created between these two is rare.
What a King Jordan Peterson is!!
Just bought your new book for my son’s 18th birthday. What a perfect timing. It’s going to be a long lasting gift!
My condolences for the loss of your father. I sincerely appreciate hearing about your fondness for him. Looking forward to seeing you in Roseville, CA next year. Many blessings.
😮😮Thank you, Dr. Peterson. You were my gateway into non fiction. Since I discovered you, I have started listening to more current events.
I just purchased We Who Wrestle With God. You are truly a gift to mankind and I thank you for your words and ideas that everyone on this Earth should listen and pay attention to.
This guy changes the way you look at the world, even if you are of sound mind and character, he shines a light on where you are in your journey out of Plato’s cave, or maybe even, on your way back in to the darkness to spread the word. Thank you man, you are a treasure, that’s for sure.
I was a TYT subscriber who followed Dave's exit. It's no exaggeration when I've concluded : "Dr Peterson truly healed a generation of young men." 🙌 I'm now a born again Christian ✝️ (never in a million years would I ever even think of that been a gay immigrant of colour 😂) but God has used many great voices that lead me to Jesus🙏 praise God! 🎉 with thanks giving, I pray in Jesus name for protection and divine providence and blessings unto His champions of freedom like Dr Peterson and Dave ❤ much love. Amen 🙏
I started tearing up when Jordan gave Dave that book. It's not just a book; it's a manifestation of his work, his time, his energy, and his dedication to getting to the bottom of the most fundamental axioms of life. I am saying this in the truest sense I know how. You could see how much he trusts Dave at the level of an individual. It's obvious they are great friends, and it makes me happy to see that. I am lucky that I found a friend who knows my heart and would never hurt me. She is a new friend but one I know I can trust. And I know she will always be my friend. That's rare, man. I've never had that before, so I cherish it.
Dr. Peterson, only God can bless you for all that you do, especially for standing up for men. In this generation it is increasingly difficult to find someone who will look the crowd in the eye and say "No! Men aren't inherently monsters and oppressors".
You inspire each and everyone of us to become better versions of ourselves. God bless you.
Dr. Jordan, you changed my mindset completely when I started listening to you. One of the main things you taught me was how to think and how to speak. It allowed me to thrive in all aspects of my life. Thank you so much, and good luck on the next 500.
Congratulations Jordan and thank you !!
Thank you, Dr. Peterson. You are such a great voice in these trying times. Listening to you gives me hope! I just ordered some of your books to give for Christmas gifts. That made my shopping easy! ❤️
Congratulations Dr Peterson. It’s not been easy but it has been worthwhile.
You have been a tremendous help to me throughout my late-teen years and through the majority of my 20s. I am so terribly sorry about your fathers passing. I hope you can find peace. God bless you.
@Jordan B Peterson
I love the music you use for your introduction, likewise for Tammy. Is it possible to put links in the comments? The music has my hair standing on ends everytime I listen
Thank you for all you do
I feel blessed to listen to your messages everyday
It has truly been an adventure being a fan of you all these years Dr. Peterson. I am enjoying your new book.
Congratulations on 500, Dr Peterson
Thank you for a wonderful, honest and helpful conversation, gentlemen. God bless you both.
Congrats Jordan on your new book and this milestone. You've helped so many people around the world. You're a good man and an even greater human being.
I love you, Dr. Peterson. I just bought your book wrestling with God. I’ve read four pages of it so far it’s pretty dim in my house. I have to get a lamp, but I look forward to reading the entire thing. I was so happy when I saw it on the shelf For sale I didn’t even know you had this new book especially because I wrestle with God so much. I’m so thankful to know you do too because I want to be with you in heaven you and your lovely wife Tammy and I know that God is drawing you towards him through Jesus Christ, our Messiah, if you ask him to come into your heart and live there he will and then I know I will see you in heaven. May God continue to richly bless you bless the name of the Lord.
Jordan’s best suit in ages!
I never felt unconditional love or true fear until my kids were born.
Prayer is everything when in love and with the love of your children. 🙏🏽
Canadian here! Until 2019 I was an NDP supporter, then came CV19 and the Liberal/NDP alliance lied to me about the pandemic, lock downs, masks, mandates, etc. I will never vote for either again. If someone in 2016 told me I’d be an ardent Trump supporter in 2024, I’d never believe it! In my community I was lambasted by saying that I hoped Trump wins. Crazy times! Well done Dr Peterson and Mr Rubin!
Canadian here. Same here. Peterson inspired me to be courageous and Trump is still amazing and scaring me equally. But I completely understand your point.
Reason why mainstream media is below the charts is because they are suggesting and insinuating people what people should think.
Podcasters, youtubers and other forms of independant journalism or documentaries advise people to think for themselves.
People are not stupid, we only think we are because we've been repeteadly told so.
Glad to see Mr. Peterson's commentary on basically what are " Morals " is not only drawing attention but proving " Truth ". As my Mom said " Without morals we're all just rapid dogs. "
Congratulations on reaching this milestone, Jordan. I, along with many others, look forward to the next 500 🙏. I have seen you speak 4 times now, the first time in Vancouver in Dec 2018. I had the pleasure of meeting Dave in the back room discussion after. How things have changed since then.
Thanks for everything you've done. Onwards.....
Truth and free speech and respect
