Luke Hanaike surely we are encouraged to face these dragons, slay them and give the lost eye to our blind father which we have now rescued?? And let’s not forget the gold...
This lecture series has actually changed my life. I have an interview tomorrow for my dream job, and I wouldn't have even dreamt of applying for the position had it not been for Dr Peterson. Greatness lies ahead for all of us.
Getting that vote of confidence from you has moved me to tears. Thank you so much for everything you've done. I was floating in a sea of nihilism for so long that I didn't even know there was another way to live. Discovering you breathed purpose into my life, and I am utterly transformed. I can only repay you by trying every day to speak the truth, and by living bravely and honestly.
Kat me too Kat! Peterson made me realize that experience doesn't exist independent of action, a lesson I sorely needed (given my affinity for daydreaming and my resulting tendency to allow things around me to become stagnant as I build up internal worlds for myself). So now I've applied for a job in my favorite city, hoping it goes well! Good luck on your interview!
With this I've finally exhausted JBP's content. From 12 Rules For Life and Maps of Meaning, to the Biblical Series and post modernism/philosophical lectures, to this personality course. This man has changed my life, showed me the eternal light of the sun on consciousness and hope, and the eternal journey of taking responsibility and accepting my cross, he reminded me about my divine essence and the divinity of meaning found between chaos and order, he brought me back and reconciled my belief structure with God, the Bible and mythology. He empowered me to take on the dragons of life, to voluntary descend into the underworld, to rescue my father's legacy and to always keep true to my consciousness and the world. I was rescued from the belly of the whale by a mythological hero, and that is a debt of gratitude that i can only pay by doing the same thing to other's. Thank you, Dr. Peterson, greetings from Brazil!
Room fluctuating from acceptable to a complete mess. Dragon engaged and has burned me more than I've stabbed it, so far. Operating at about 21% efficiency, up from 2%, but also down from 40% at one time. Here's to getting to 92% and 22% asap. Life's an obstacle course, learn the obstacles and get better at maneuvering them.
I'll be sure to teach my future children the things I've learnt from you Dr. Peterson. Thank you for being a beacon of truth and integrity. You give young men like me a lot to think about, and a lot more to strive towards.
I think the message at the end is critically underrated. In just those few words it feels as though Mr.Peterson summed up what he knew life to be about. It’s crucial at times like these for us to really let it sink in for a moment. I for one, will remember this for the rest of my life: “Be what you can be. God, you let the world around you dissolve otherwise. That’s not a good thing. You got something that everyone needs man, including yourself. That’s why, let it out, that’s where everything you want is. It’s the case for every single one of you. So, hoist up your goddamn privilege and go out there and do something in the world.”
Thank god for the internet, I cannot afford college and I am not dumb enough to get student loans but I want to learn. So I go to my bookshelf or I turn here, and I am extremely thankful for finding a man like Peterson by complete accident. If only the rest of the world used such an amazing tool wisely, it is sad to watch it be squandered like it is..
Here are some bullet points I took away from this lecture (fell free to add): 1.) The world is not made up of matter, it's made up of 'what matters' (27:30) 2.) Use the least amount of harshness when dealing with mishaps - whether they be social, academic, or in relationships. 3.) Carefully watch people around you. When they do something you like 1.) Notice 2.)TELL THEM! 4.) Gold can be extracted from your dragons. 5.) Life is suffering. Okay, so what do you do about it? Well, try to rise above your suffering by acting in a way that decreases it.

Tim Westchester it's astounding isn't it? It hits me right in the fuckin chest...every time. He mentioned in the series something about a sortof 2nd brain in the solar plexus...maybe something to that
His “ 2 brains in 1” explanation tells me what I experienced once : After handing a “ needy “ stranger my cell phone at my door, then sending him off, I realized 20 mins later, having left in haste - being delayed by him, when my right brain “ spoke up” - almost a clear voice - “ you’re being robbed !”. It was crisp; clear; positive ! I ran back to my car n sped home n yes ! That fast ! My left brain was stuck, focused on process, getting out the door n to my appointment, while my right focused on this dude’s slimy look n lizard eyes - Not to mention his demonic look, the likes of which remind one of Chrls Manson. Obvious to my right- Oblivious to my busy left.
From all corners of our society we get bombarded by "Get more pleasure - become happy!', but we just know that is bs. Jordan Peterson says: "Embrace your pain and capacity for evil - become a better human by fighting them", and we just know that is REAL.
25:10 "That's like the snout of a dragon peaking out from a cave. And you might say 'Well it's just a snout, man!' But it's not cause dragon snouts tend to be attached to the whole damn dragon." I absolutely love your way with metaphors. So many complex ideas being accurately described in language that tends to not be anywhere else other than children's storybooks is amazing, and really point to the fact that our ancestors knew so much more than we give them credit for.

Yes Mr. Peterson. Thank you for reintroducing the Jewish war god Yaweh to a generation of young men who were close to getting away from ancient superstitions and mind control operations. Because of you the Jews can continue to rule over us and soldiers can die for the Greater Israel Project. Hail Zion! Let's all bow to the Jews and their king..whoop whoop.
I have already been the tough guy at the funeral. Brought the whole event into a cathartic unity. Laughed like mad when it came up in the lecture. Wasn't listening for validation but I damn well got a pinch of it there. Thanks, Doctor P
"It was very nice having you all in the class and I appreciated the warm welcome I got especially in January because it was a rough time in January and so I'm glad this all worked out so well and it was a pleasure teaching you all, good luck to you all... See ya!"
I firmly believe in a few decades Peterson will be regarded as one of the greatest. Furthermore, the first to give psychology to the masses. Thank you Dr. 🙏
The Book of KEK, Story of Genesis 1:2 - 2:3 - 1 In the beginning Jordan Peterson created the floor and the ceiling. 2 then he enclosed the floor and the ceiling with 4 walls with a door and he called it a room. 3 And Jordan Peterson said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And Jordan Peterson saw the light, saw that the room was dirty, and was displeased. 5 And Jordan Peterson said, "Clean your room, bucko!!' and the room began to sort itself out. 6 And on the 6th day the room was clean, and it was very good 7 And Jordan Peterson saw that the room was clean, and he said, 'Right on, man!' and was very pleased. 8 And on the seventh day Jordan Peterson finished the room; and He rested on the seventh day inside the room which He had made. 9 And Jordan Peterson blessed the room, and hallowed it; because in it He rested from all His work. Praise Kek
I get a huge amount of anxiety from my past mistakes but I’m praying 🙏🏻 to God that he help me not to solve all my problems, but the big one I’m facing right now! So yeah, a mix of sorry and hope feeling… tears can’t help much but they are present!
I sound like a broken record with Dr Peterson, but HOW GOOD are these academic lectures…..even if you aren’t a fan of his views on other issues it is unquestionable his talent and ability as a communicator 🔥😀
Jordan Peterson, I started watching your lectures about 4 months ago and I can't express enough how much I needed to hear this stuff. It has completely changed my perception of the world, and more importantly myself. I am slowly piecing together an understanding of my childhood which I have been trying to do for the passed 20 years. Thank you. And for the record, I was a D student all throughout my education and would find any excuse to not attend a lecture like this in college. So that says a lot.
Thank you, Doctor. I started watching the personality lectures a year ago, and today, after a year of trying to balance my life between univerity, work, family and friends, I finally managed to watch this last one - better late than never, right? Amazing, amazing lectures. I've learned so much from them. This past year I've grown so much as a person and it's safe to say your work has significantly contributed to my journey, and will keep contributing to it in the future. So again, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your work.
Im a 32 year old man recently released from prison whom has found the courage and absolute necessity to change through self reflection and watching Jordan Peterson lectures, I implore you to truly listen to what this man says,and if you lack the vocabulary to understand then get a dictionary and take the time to decipher the absolute gold that this man can impart upon you through his intellect and has found it to be his absolute gift in life to help the rest of us shine through the wisdom he imparts upon you
“Be what you can be.” I’ve been listening to these lectures and this one came up automatically so I didn’t realise that it was the last one until the end. The last seconds just brought a tear to my eye. Best teacher ever. This guy has done so much for me and I will never be able to put into words how grateful I am.
"Do not sacrifice the person you could become for who you are right now" and "know which parts of you you need to burn off in order for the new you could emerge". Bombs dropped buckos, and that's that! Sorted out squad, assemble!
I am so grateful of being able to watch this course for free sitting at home in Moscow and seeing how my bad habits starting to fall away gradually. Since I started watching it two weeks ago I stopped get to bed late, keeping my flat clean and organized, doing fitness excersises every second day, restoring contact with old friends I respect and planning improvement of my professional skills. As if something switched in my head, something I don't understand fully, but it seems to work good for now.
I’ve finally watched them all. Hundreds of hours of the same two classes and yet each time you get something new. Can’t thank you enough for upload all of these videos for free. Literally life changing thank you so much
I am really happy that I got to listen to Dr. Jordan Peterson. I have listened to Personality lectures till this day and I noticed that this is the end of the lectures. 1 lecture per day yet I learned more than 10 years of going to school. I may be the only one in my entire country who knows Dr. Jordan Peterson and have listened to him. I migrated to another country and here I found people on TH-cam who have taught me immeasurably and I am lucky that I have learned a lot when I am 19 years old. I really love listening to this individual ( Dr.Jordan Peterson) and really enjoy what he says. I cannot express my gratitude in words to this man. He is the best teacher I have ever had.
49:15 I have to say this part scared the shit out of me This is hands down one of the best lectures of the whole Personality course, thank you Dr Peterson
Lost my mother a few days ago. The part about being the most useful person at the funeral is really helping me deal with this situation. Thank you so much JBP.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY in advance DR PETERSON! You are a gift to humanity and we all love you for your dedication and strength, not to mention your talent, which is astounding. If the world is a room, you are definitely on your way to making it spotless. Stay strong and best wishes!
Such an amazing series of lectures to be given out for free. Thank you Dr. Peterson for making this information publicly available to anyone with the wherewithal to seek it out.
Mindset - Necessity for improvement - Life is suffering, prepare yourself for it. There will be infinite snakes - learn how to handle them. - Voluntary acceptance of suffering as the cure for death. Put your life together. - 1% a day - Identity - Don't sacrifice who you could be for who you are. - You are the thing that is and you are the thing who transforms who you are. - Growth Mindset - Confront dragon of chaos. When something objects, your character is tested. What do I need to change? Obstacles are opportunities. - Failure/Mistakes can be the best gift. Tells you you are doing something wrong and something must change. - Create goals - You need directions or goals because that is what gives you positive emotion. - Schedule - Prioritize and create a hierarchy of action. Some things have to be worth doing more than others or you can't act. - Specify conditions for success and failure. Do not keep things in the fog - Remove insufficiences - Burn off the things that you are pathologically attached to - You know at least 10 things you know you shouldn't be doing. You suffer because you aren’t willing to let go of what is biting you - What would life be like if you stopped making it more miserable than it had to be? - Control - You are a collection of sub-personalities. Do not practice what you do not want to become. You are a boss and an employee. "Be what you can be, you've got something that everyone needs man, including yourself. Let it out, that's where everything you want is and it's the case for every single one of you. Hoist up your goddamn privilege and go out there and do something in the world"
I never ever commented on a video but I had to do it for this series. It was an amazing experience listening to these lectures. Such a fatherly ending Dr. Peterson did for this course. It changed how I see the world and I will surely like to read some of the great psychologists Freud, Jung and Jean Piaget whom you have mentioned in these lectures.
The ending was so real, it really feels like he speaks from his core and with genuine motivation, like he really wants to bring forth good to the world. It's amazing that these lectures are here for the world to see, because it's having a great positive impact on me and countless of others. I'm looking forward to spreading that impact to those around me. Thanks JP
Big thanks to Dr. Peterson. His content has helped me find real meaning, and truly sort myself out. Because of all this, I now have better relationships with everyone around me, I'm taking on more responsibility, and even getting a better, more well paying job. I feel useful. Thank you.
My God, I love this space in youtube. It's an understatement to mention how useful these lectures by Dr Peterson are. But along with that, people in the comments section from all over the world sharing their postive take aways from the lecture is even more amazing. Wow.
A lot of Days, after work i sit on my laptop and writing...writing...writing and watching your lectures. You are helping me a lot to set my goals for work, for my life. And I'm happy and thankful, that i was already on the right path. I hope to make the most out of my life. Aim up!

I feel kind of sad that the course finished, roughly speaking... I learned so much and feel so grateful. Lucky me, I still got Maps of Meaning to watch and learn. Thank you!
Started on 4 December 2020 ending at 6 march 2021 more then 24 hours of listening learned more then past 18 year of my life in this 1 day time. I think only few are who will listen every single minute but I'm one of them. thanks for every single word kings of lobster mr.jordam Peterson.
This is pretty much that 1%-2% of Peterson that I feel falls just short of perfection as an educator and scholar. Immeasurably grateful of just about everything else though :)
Ive found a couple videos of him talking about his use of magic mushrooms before but it doesnt seem like wide spread knowledge that he absolutely does them lol
30:57 when something that "matter(s)" object(s) to you" 31:55 error contains the implicit world 39:05 this is something I've been doing the last year's since encountering his work, and now I can name it, watching like a hawk to positively or negatively reinforce a behavior
I've enjoyed numerous Dr. Peterson videos over the past few years and this one is by far the best and the soundest practical good advice for life video ever. Everyone at every stage in life could benefit immensely from watching this video! Start around minute 25.
Probably the most profound and prevalent person's of our generation. Jbp you are a true gem in this world of chaos. I feel so blessed to have these and all the lectures you do. We all absolutely love you!
Here’s an example of a personal journey I go through while watching these videos.. Around (1:07:00) “Snakes. Two halves of the same dna molecule” Jordan lives in the world of pattern and loosely defined words to allow for his own self affirming story to manifest. His a priori structures are filtered wired for interest in fantasy, All nested within the deeper motivation of subconscious drives to power. In essence, his message and impact is merely the natural pattern of molecules to assemble power to their own purpose. The stupidity of the snake idea would only capture the interest of those who also are wired to be interested in fantasy. -a cynical thought manifests in me But what’s the underlying motivation for an idea like that to manifest within me? What am I compensating for? What in the world am I ignoring? Perhaps, my comment was aimed at cutting my ideal at the knees, because why not? My ideal is to be like Jordan, but I clearly have a lot of work to do. if we use Jordan’s definition of truth pragmatic in the sense that the intention of action in relation to my ideal is the marker of its truthfulness, then my commentary about Jordan is contradictory with my highest ideal So now I should stop myself from identifying with those types of thoughts and reframe them: Jordan’s has been able to notice and articulate the deepest patterns of human behavior, and has developed a following not just as a result of self affirimation and hunger for power, but with the intention to help others manifest the ideal of God within us. -a positive reframe of the snake idea Hope you all enjoyed reading this. I wanted to create a personal account and want to see if others relate
It was an interesting insight into your thoughts and sub -personalities. It was a good read. Do you often write down your thoughts and analyse them? I do. One thing i noticed when listening to him is that I am aiming for a very similar thing he is, but he is much further ahead of me in terms of organising his thinking and understanding the world, and this causes me to feel uneasy. More precisely I want to figure out the truth myself rather than have someone hand it down to me, this is a prevalent feeling during my whole life, exactly the same when my parents tried to teach me, pretty much since I was about 5. There is a practical side to this approach, I'm quite safe from brainwashing, and I am less prone to not questioning mostly correct but partially flawed theories. But that is not the source of it, it's just a side effect. I feel like my purpose would be stolen if someone gave me all the answers. Then again we should rely on each other and cooperate and learn from each other, so I'm not certain what to do about this. What's the right balance of doing things myself Vs asking for help.
@Corleone Interesting, what do you mean by efficient at suffering? Are you saying that he's able to recover from suffering faster than most, leaving more energy for him to utilize his strengths?
Jordan Peterson is like a detailed and accurate projection of my thoughts and philosophical thoughts. I am happy that I first met a like-minded person! I see myself in it as a reflection. I am paralyzed as far as I understand it well despite the translation into my native language. I want to ask hundreds of questions that excites my mind. Joradn you are the best teacher in my life, you inspire me, thanks for all my friend.
Thank you for making and sharing this. My mom died of cancer in June last year, diagnosed in March. I saw this shortly after her diagnosis and you were so right. I consciously decided to become the monster. You articulated something I’ve been doing for years in relation to her and my wider family but it was done more on instinct. It was bloody hard, hard, hard but I’m standing on the other side of this now but at the time I knew I had to face it, running away for me just was not an option. I chose to stand and be the strength in that situation. When you said you need to be the “monster” I understood that immediately. I was with her right the way through and helped her face the end of her life. I was the monster at the funeral. I’m still that monster now dealing with family issues that everyone else has unsuccessfully tried to bury. I am being the monster to stop this shit in its tracks and deal with it so that it doesn’t go on to contaminate another generation. I can’t thank you enough. Your words gave me clarity. You helped me to realise I had, and have a responsibility to slay these dragons. These experiences have taught me that I am stronger than I thought and I am well able.
Powerful... What can I say? I discovered you on your first appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast back in December. I have since then gone through your Maps of Meaning course, your Personality course, TONS of clips from these lectures that are circulating on youtube and various interviews, podcasts and now the biblical series. It's just invaluable the information that i have recieved from you! I have questioned my habits and surroundings before but not with these tools. This time it's with a more extensive understanding on how and why things work the way they do and that gives me WAY more motivation to put what I've learned into practice so that I can become a better person. It seems less likely I can become willfully blind towards a potential demise of my being so how could I not be motived towards striving towards the good of life? I will keep watching everything you do and I also plan to do all of the self authoring programs. I feel more hopeful than I've been in a long time. For all the years I've been down in chaos and hell from the causes of family problems, personal loses, addiction, martyrdom, resentment, broken heart, trust issues, depression and fear all bundled up in a clusterfuck of a traumatic and nihalistic state of mind I now feel I can put that wisdom to better use. I know what I have to do, I know what tools to sharpen even further and I am goddamn ready to grab life and its opportunities by the nutsack. Jordan Peterson, I can't thank you enough!
Professor...do you realise that I get no sleep because you can't leave your channel alone for one damn day? How am I supposed to clean my room if you keep me up all the time? You are my favourite monster.
This and the conscientiousness video are the examples I point people to who claim to be against Peterson (for whatever litany of sins they place on him). This is the kind of lecturer I hope to be some day.
Felt the need to put down a comment of gratitude after watching this series. I can already feel I`m on a better path than the one I was previously stumbling down. Thank you Dr. Peterson for giving me the sword to fight the dragons in my life!
I have an odd habit I've noticed. When I do something good out of the ordinary, I feel good about it and want to do it again up until I receive praise from my Mom. Once she notices it, and comments positively on it, I want to throw it away, scrap it, deface it. I'm not exactly sure why, but it has shaped a lot of my behavior. The opposite isn't true, if I act badly, and she notices and comments, I don't double down to spite her, or cease to please her; her opinion doesn't matter. I think it may be that I don't want her to feel a sense of accomplishment from my accomplishments because I feel I've accomplished this thing in spite of her, not because of her. So I guess this means I see my mother as an antagonist, which makes sense. When I was a child, my brother was a fiend and a sadist towards me. Most nights I was afraid to sleep, believing he might feel like ending my life while I was helpless. But I understood, even though my brother was a monster, my mother enabled, even rewarded his behavior, so who was the bigger threat?
Sounds like hell my dude. Write that autobiography or even write just about that one thing, or one or several of those experiences with your brother, eh? All the best.
Thank you so much dr. peterson. I'm a new college student pursing clinical psychology in Eugene Oregon and I've recently had hit a rough spot in my life. I've spend so much time watching and finishing your maps and meaning videos and now your personality videos as well as so many of your debate and public speeches, I recently bought your book as a way to better my reading habits and I'd just like to thank you so much and I hope to take one of your classes so please don't stop teaching!
I LOVE when Jordan endorses being "a monster". It gets me all enthusiastic and excited. Nothing feels better than going into that mental space where you are just swatting down other people and their desires and opinions while you ride your horse to victory. He's so right: it is a hatred of being. But that hatred is very motivational to me.
I'm not sure I understand entirely what you are implying. One wouldn't attempt to be a weak monster - or a weak anything. And a strong monster almost seems to = tyrannical. As in tyrannical is a good adjective for a strong monster.
Goad Said tyrannical has it's own definition. being a monster doesn't mean forcing your will on other people, it just means you have the capacity to if needed. A civilized monster can operate in such a way that tyrrany is a last resort not the first.
Peterson always talks about being familiar with the monster / shadow, having the capability to use it in doses, but never fully surrendering to it. It is for sure a very powerful state, but I don't think he would ever endorse "hatred of being" as any standard modus operandi. That's when you see yourself becoming the tyrant and NOT the hero.
Goad Said , it's about controlling the monster so that its strength can be used to defeat the ACTUAL monsters (dragons). You sound like you are letting the monster control you instead , which will have devastating consequences. You are deliberately adding suffering instead of rising above it by reducing it. You are doing it wrong, kid.
Having just finished this lecture series, I can only feel humble and grateful. Eye opening, light bringing, dragon crushing, mighty. When we stand on the shoulders of giants, we stand on Dr. Peterson’s shoulders among the others.
I have pretty much an architypal oedipal mother, as a child she literally fed me to be a blob and just smiled about it, like the Hansel and Gretel-story. She didn't let me out of her sight and wanted to do everything for me. And my sister was/is pretty much a monster who mocked me for every good thing I tried to do. I'll have another beer....
I watched Maps of Meaning first and thought that it couldn't get any better. Jordan, your work is calling all of us frogs out from beneath the surface, watch out world.
Systems are nested hierarchies, the more understanding you have, the better able you are to address the issues that will matter most. Evolution of belief systems and issues of control? If something is worth believing in, it is timeless. The heart is more important than the head when it comes to achieving greatness. For the average task, only the intellect is needed but a great challenge will require heart and soul. Imagination is the connecting of disparate things in novel ways. It is not the job of the intellect to tame the passions of the heart, that is the job of the spirit. The intellect is best managed by the heart, without this connection you get the psychopath. The heart is best managed by the spirit, without this connection, you get the horrors of war. I do not give much consideration to the ideas of a man that doesn't believe in God, the reason, God is not an intellectual issue. Our reality is constructed in such a way that there is a nested hierarchy of meaning. In terms of information, it is meaning that gives the information value. In terms of consciousness, emotion is higher up in the hierarchy than intellect. Spiritual is higher than emotional. #1; What we understand. #2; What we value. #3; What we do about it. A material expression is the result of this process. The actionable consequences of distilled expectation arise, in part, from the intentional field of implicate order. The reason I believe that emotion is a higher state of processing than intellect is because chess computers don't enjoy winning. What is spiritual faith? It is trust, but this trust is based on a foundational understanding rooted in intellectual experience, emotional maturity and a spiritual relationship. Intellect; practice, practice, practice. Emotion; respond, connect, share. Spirit; become, love, unify. Principles or laws that govern the affairs of men: Men are driven by intellectual pursuits to a lesser degree and by emotional factors to a greater degree. For the most part, there are no checks and balances in place to correct the turbulence or disruption to the system and when you factor in the spiritual component (belief systems and values, etc) things really get complicated. The result of all this chaos is that men begin killing each other and the main reasons are the lack of practical wisdom and no moral compass. The most intelligent left brained dogmatist can be reduced to an idiot by an unfounded belief system or a strong emotion. This brings up a flaw in Gene Roddenberry's concept of the character Spock (Vulcans). Spock would not be without emotion, more likely, he would have a very finely tuned, useful, and well regulated emotional state that would, in fact, be quite strong at the right moment, if he were to be a superior intellectual creature. Think about the dimensions involved in appreciating something of great beauty. Your five senses may play a role but when your emotional state is engaged, that is when the real magic happens. The intellectual realm is usually not too difficult to navigate. Most people find their niche and naturally fall into an area where they can do pretty well. The emotional realm is deeper and much more nuanced, behaviors ripple out into the landscape in ways we would never imagine. It takes a very long time to perfect the kind of emotional intelligence that creates win-win scenarios as a general course of action. The spiritual realm is so nuanced and so deep that few navigate this landscape without upsets, wrong turns, misunderstandings and a sense of one's own hypocrisy. There are very few superstars in the arena of spirituality. I would also guess that being spiritual, for the most part, is not highly valued in our society, also there is little consensus on what constitutes spirituality. As I have stated it is a deeply nuanced realm that does not give up its secrets easily. You have to want it, you have to work at it and most importantly, you have to care.

Latent consciousness is the idea that a system needs devices in the environment to sense the world around it. The more it can sense the environment the more conscious it is. Self awareness is knowing your position in state space, in a manner that includes emotional and spiritual components. In the hierarchy of maturity you must first master your intellect through doing, then you must master your emotions through serving, only then are you ready to take on the things of the spirit. I suspect that this would be an act of full surrender.
Hi, Sorting Myself Out . I am from India, who is trying really hard to get my act together for the last one year. I viewed your channel hence i have a sense that you can answer my question. English is not my first language so i hope you get my point. My question to you. Until now, i've finished, All "Jordan peterson & Joe rogan podcasts" and "Maps of Meaning" series, I am just going through the comment section of this playlist to see whether this "Personality lectures" are good. I will be happy, if you could advice me which should I watch next? "Biblical series" or "Personality series"?. Which will be more helpful to get my act together? I can watch both "Biblical series" and "Personality series" but unfortunately i don't have that much time right now(since english is not my first language, i spend lot of time in dictionary to understand Jordan Peterson's words, To complete a video i take a long time as well). I will watch one of this series now, then maybe after one year the other one. So which would you recommend, "Biblical series" or "Personality series"??, If you prefer any other videos or playlists better than these two or there is a must watch video, please suggest that as well. Please answer me.
I binge watched this playlist in less than a week, that says something. It reminded me of my High school philosophy classes more than ten years ago, but without a teacher that starts rambling about irrelevant politician's wives and so on. Even without being a student of psychology, but being interested in a very humanistic way, the contents is very comprehensible, the examples, the historical and pop culture references help "vulgarize" the dense theory. It was very enriching to listen and watch and even with the pandemic, it comforts me in the fact that the decisions I've taken for my future were the morally just and productive ones, as well as challenging enough for me to feel a sense of belonging with the people I engage with.
Wow! I watched all the lectures so far and this farewell brought tears in to my eyes. Thank you Dr Peterson for your genuine hard work to sort us up! My life has been changed drastically since i accidentally saw one of your videos and I can't watch anything else but your videos since then! I feel i am getting stronger and i am burning the unwanted stuff. Thank you sir! I love you!
When it comes to Jordan Peterson I firmly believe that a lecture a day keeps the dragons at bay.
Luke Hanaike surely we are encouraged to face these dragons, slay them and give the lost eye to our blind father which we have now rescued?? And let’s not forget the gold...
Lol what a cancerous comment ahhahahahah got me laughing for a minute straight
Luke Hanaike yeah ! Hooked !
Yeah, but. . . . that dragon hiding in your room.
@@jsmyth024 ...clean it out of my room?
This lecture series has actually changed my life. I have an interview tomorrow for my dream job, and I wouldn't have even dreamt of applying for the position had it not been for Dr Peterson. Greatness lies ahead for all of us.
Kat Good luck for yor interview! Let us know how it went.
Getting that vote of confidence from you has moved me to tears. Thank you so much for everything you've done. I was floating in a sea of nihilism for so long that I didn't even know there was another way to live. Discovering you breathed purpose into my life, and I am utterly transformed. I can only repay you by trying every day to speak the truth, and by living bravely and honestly.
Kat You got this :) Peace and Kekings be upon you my sister.
Kat me too Kat! Peterson made me realize that experience doesn't exist independent of action, a lesson I sorely needed (given my affinity for daydreaming and my resulting tendency to allow things around me to become stagnant as I build up internal worlds for myself). So now I've applied for a job in my favorite city, hoping it goes well! Good luck on your interview!
The Lord JBP (KBUH) will have mercy on you and guide you to room Most Clean.
With this I've finally exhausted JBP's content. From 12 Rules For Life and Maps of Meaning, to the Biblical Series and post modernism/philosophical lectures, to this personality course. This man has changed my life, showed me the eternal light of the sun on consciousness and hope, and the eternal journey of taking responsibility and accepting my cross, he reminded me about my divine essence and the divinity of meaning found between chaos and order, he brought me back and reconciled my belief structure with God, the Bible and mythology. He empowered me to take on the dragons of life, to voluntary descend into the underworld, to rescue my father's legacy and to always keep true to my consciousness and the world.
I was rescued from the belly of the whale by a mythological hero, and that is a debt of gratitude that i can only pay by doing the same thing to other's. Thank you, Dr. Peterson, greetings from Brazil!
Boa.

Although I wasn't in the classroom, I felt a part of the class having followed the lectures online. The farewell was touching.
Thanks man, seriously!

The last lecture has roughly 200k

Hell yeah, I listened to all of them in a couple weeks at the same time as taking 17 credits in architecture school.
Sad but true we will in a fast food world no wonder there are so many fools
I like to believe that those that didn't make here just started cleaning their rooms before getting to this lecture.
I’m not a lobster. I’m the lonely cocaine rat. Through and through.
Fingers crossed!
Room cleaned. Dragon slayed. Operating at 91% efficiency. Eternal gratitude to Jordan Professor.
Room fluctuating from acceptable to a complete mess. Dragon engaged and has burned me more than I've stabbed it, so far. Operating at about 21% efficiency, up from 2%, but also down from 40% at one time. Here's to getting to 92% and 22% asap. Life's an obstacle course, learn the obstacles and get better at maneuvering them.
simple powerful things 😀🏊🏊
How do you calculate efficiency?

The reference to the eternally late archetypal girl is awesome too
Why are there only like 3 comments. Get me in CONTACT WITH DR. JORDAN B. PETERSON
I'll be sure to teach my future children the things I've learnt from you Dr. Peterson.
Thank you for being a beacon of truth and integrity. You give young men like me a lot to think about, and a lot more to strive towards.
I don't think it's appropriate to teach children fables about the Jewish war God Yaweh and his retarded spawn
gratuitous1 then don't. but they will be missing the historical context of our evolutionary ancestors.
I feel the same way, Dr J.P. has transcended incarnation
..'Daddy McNuggets'..
also women :)
I think the message at the end is critically underrated. In just those few words it feels as though Mr.Peterson summed up what he knew life to be about. It’s crucial at times like these for us to really let it sink in for a moment. I for one, will remember this for the rest of my life:
“Be what you can be. God, you let the world around you dissolve otherwise. That’s not a good thing. You got something that everyone needs man, including yourself. That’s why, let it out, that’s where everything you want is. It’s the case for every single one of you. So, hoist up your goddamn privilege and go out there and do something in the world.”
Thank god for the internet, I cannot afford college and I am not dumb enough to get student loans but I want to learn. So I go to my bookshelf or I turn here, and I am extremely thankful for finding a man like Peterson by complete accident. If only the rest of the world used such an amazing tool wisely, it is sad to watch it be squandered like it is..

Cheyaaa
I've learned more from Jordan Peterson over the past year than I learned during my entire school career.
why do you think that is so?
But is your room clear?
Snarkki guys stahp
Well i was half serious aka have you actually put what you have learned in practise or not? :)
salazar....you have portuguese family?
Here are some bullet points I took away from this lecture (fell free to add):
1.) The world is not made up of matter, it's made up of 'what matters' (27:30)
2.) Use the least amount of harshness when dealing with mishaps - whether they be social, academic, or in relationships.
3.) Carefully watch people around you. When they do something you like 1.) Notice 2.)TELL THEM!
4.) Gold can be extracted from your dragons.
5.) Life is suffering. Okay, so what do you do about it? Well, try to rise above your suffering by acting in a way that decreases it.
Tim Westchester it's astounding isn't it? It hits me right in the fuckin chest...every time. He mentioned in the series something about a sortof 2nd brain in the solar plexus...maybe something to that
His “ 2 brains in 1” explanation tells me what I experienced once :
After handing a “ needy “ stranger my cell phone at my door, then sending him off, I realized 20 mins later, having left in haste - being delayed by him, when my right brain “ spoke up” - almost a clear voice - “ you’re being robbed !”. It was crisp; clear; positive !
I ran back to my car n sped home n yes ! That fast !
My left brain was stuck, focused on process, getting out the door n to my appointment, while my right focused on
this dude’s slimy look n lizard eyes -
Not to mention his demonic look, the likes of which remind one of Chrls Manson.
Obvious to my right-
Oblivious to my busy left.
Crazy, right. Imagine watching this everyday and trying to learn something new
@leejacobus5305 what does the right and left do? Right deals with predator representation?
From all corners of our society we get bombarded by "Get more pleasure - become happy!', but we just know that is bs. Jordan Peterson says: "Embrace your pain and capacity for evil - become a better human by fighting them", and we just know that is REAL.
SK He is the glasses from the movie They Live :-)
Time to get baptised in the Jordan once again.
good one!
gratuitous1 care to offer an alternative or are you just a Dragon tempting us to slay you?
How about you slay the Jewish god and pray to you own?

"That's like the snout of a dragon peaking out from a cave. And you might say 'Well it's just a snout, man!' But it's not cause dragon snouts tend to be attached to the whole damn dragon."
I absolutely love your way with metaphors. So many complex ideas being accurately described in language that tends to not be anywhere else other than children's storybooks is amazing, and really point to the fact that our ancestors knew so much more than we give them credit for.
greed Theron Yep. And we dont give credit to our contemporaries either. worst, some dont give credit to themselves...

This content is gold dust. It’s probably basic stuff to a psychologist, but to an average person without this type of education, it can really help to orient oneself. Thank you Jordan Peterson for sharing this content

Who are you guys? I understand
It's unbeliavable that its for free
You know it's a good day when you haven't even finished cleaning your room and Jordan B Peterson already uploaded a video.
I know others wrote the same, but putting a thumbs up on it is just not personal enough and it kinda devalues what I feel. Thank you.
Grat...you are resentful and withering in the belly of the beast. I wish you better.
And it's Dr. not Mr..
Yes Mr. Peterson. Thank you for reintroducing the Jewish war god Yaweh to a generation of young men who were close to getting away from ancient superstitions and mind control operations. Because of you the Jews can continue to rule over us and soldiers can die for the Greater Israel Project. Hail Zion! Let's all bow to the Jews and their king..whoop whoop.
I care very little about his doctorate. He's lucky I referred to him as Mr. because I assume Peterson is ignorant rather than complicit.
gratuitous1 is the cost of encouraging a free speech community.
I have already been the tough guy at the funeral. Brought the whole event into a cathartic unity. Laughed like mad when it came up in the lecture. Wasn't listening for validation but I damn well got a pinch of it there. Thanks, Doctor P
I still haven't watched this and I already feel nostalgic
I know! I loved this series so much
that ending, I teared up a little bit...
and then I cleaned my room!
good job!
That ending. Literally sums up that mans heart and mission 😎🌎🙏
What a legend

The Book of KEK, Story of Genesis 1:2 - 2:3 -
1 In the beginning Jordan Peterson created the floor and the ceiling.
2 then he enclosed the floor and the ceiling with 4 walls with a door and he called it a room.
3 And Jordan Peterson said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And Jordan Peterson saw the light, saw that the room was dirty, and was displeased.
5 And Jordan Peterson said, "Clean your room, bucko!!' and the room began to sort itself out.
6 And on the 6th day the room was clean, and it was very good
7 And Jordan Peterson saw that the room was clean, and he said, 'Right on, man!' and was very pleased.
8 And on the seventh day Jordan Peterson finished the room; and He rested on the seventh day inside the room which He had made.
9 And Jordan Peterson blessed the room, and hallowed it; because in it He rested from all His work.

Never have I learned so much about life in so little time, through these lectures. I have true admiration for JBP.
Does anyone else get a serious case of moisty-eyes at the conclusion of these big JP lecture series? No? Just me? Aaaaaaalrighty then.
Me too
As a woman something definitely gets moist. But it's not my eyes.

I sound like a broken record with Dr Peterson, but HOW GOOD are these academic lectures…..even if you aren’t a fan of his views on other issues it is unquestionable his talent and ability as a communicator 🔥😀
Jordan Peterson, I started watching your lectures about 4 months ago and I can't express enough how much I needed to hear this stuff. It has completely changed my perception of the world, and more importantly myself. I am slowly piecing together an understanding of my childhood which I have been trying to do for the passed 20 years. Thank you.
And for the record, I was a D student all throughout my education and would find any excuse to not attend a lecture like this in college. So that says a lot.
What a treasure this lecture series has been! I plan to mentally digest this a while, then rewatch it one more time.
Thank you, Doctor. I started watching the personality lectures a year ago, and today, after a year of trying to balance my life between univerity, work, family and friends, I finally managed to watch this last one - better late than never, right? Amazing, amazing lectures. I've learned so much from them. This past year I've grown so much as a person and it's safe to say your work has significantly contributed to my journey, and will keep contributing to it in the future. So again, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your work.
thanks for sharing i was looking for comments like these who have gone through the series to get some motivation
Im a 32 year old man recently released from prison whom has found the courage and absolute necessity to change through self reflection and watching Jordan Peterson lectures, I implore you to truly listen to what this man says,and if you lack the vocabulary to understand then get a dictionary and take the time to decipher the absolute gold that this man can impart upon you through his intellect and has found it to be his absolute gift in life to help the rest of us shine through the wisdom he imparts upon you
Lord Jesus bless you Cody!
Thank you for your kindness, God bless praise He who sits most high
I can only begin to describe how thankful I am to have had access to these lectures. Thank you, Dr. Peterson. You are a true hero.
“Be what you can be.”
I’ve been listening to these lectures and this one came up automatically so I didn’t realise that it was the last one until the end. The last seconds just brought a tear to my eye. Best teacher ever. This guy has done so much for me and I will never be able to put into words how grateful I am.
"Do not sacrifice the person you could become for who you are right now" and "know which parts of you you need to burn off in order for the new you could emerge". Bombs dropped buckos, and that's that! Sorted out squad, assemble!
🥰
Does anyone else wanna just give Jordan a hug and thank him for his dedication and making this free and accessible?
I am so grateful of being able to watch this course for free sitting at home in Moscow and seeing how my bad habits starting to fall away gradually. Since I started watching it two weeks ago I stopped get to bed late, keeping my flat clean and organized, doing fitness excersises every second day, restoring contact with old friends I respect and planning improvement of my professional skills. As if something switched in my head, something I don't understand fully, but it seems to work good for now.
I’ve finally watched them all. Hundreds of hours of the same two classes and yet each time you get something new. Can’t thank you enough for upload all of these videos for free. Literally life changing thank you so much
When I get a notification that a new JBP video is up I feel like I got a present.
for me it's more like I get a new list of 10 things I have to clean up in my life... sigh... I try to look at it as a present... alas!
I am really happy that I got to listen to Dr. Jordan Peterson. I have listened to Personality lectures till this day and I noticed that this is the end of the lectures. 1 lecture per day yet I learned more than 10 years of going to school.
I may be the only one in my entire country who knows Dr. Jordan Peterson and have listened to him.
I migrated to another country and here I found people on TH-cam who have taught me immeasurably and I am lucky that I have learned a lot when I am 19 years old.
I really love listening to this individual ( Dr.Jordan Peterson) and really enjoy what he says.
I cannot express my gratitude in words to this man. He is the best teacher I have ever had.
49:15 I have to say this part scared the shit out of me
This is hands down one of the best lectures of the whole Personality course, thank you Dr Peterson
Lost my mother a few days ago. The part about being the most useful person at the funeral is really helping me deal with this situation. Thank you so much JBP.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY in advance DR PETERSON! You are a gift to humanity and we all love you for your dedication and strength, not to mention your talent, which is astounding. If the world is a room, you are definitely on your way to making it spotless. Stay strong and best wishes!
I got teary eyed after blasting all lectures (this course) over 4-5 days, the ending. Jordan, you're a pinnacle of our times, never stop.
Such an amazing series of lectures to be given out for free. Thank you Dr. Peterson for making this information publicly available to anyone with the wherewithal to seek it out.
Mindset
- Necessity for improvement
- Life is suffering, prepare yourself for it. There will be infinite snakes - learn how to handle them.
- Voluntary acceptance of suffering as the cure for death. Put your life together.
- 1% a day
- Identity
- Don't sacrifice who you could be for who you are.
- You are the thing that is and you are the thing who transforms who you are.
- Growth Mindset
- Confront dragon of chaos. When something objects, your character is tested. What do I need to change? Obstacles are opportunities.
- Failure/Mistakes can be the best gift. Tells you you are doing something wrong and something must change.
- Create goals
- You need directions or goals because that is what gives you positive emotion.
- Schedule
- Prioritize and create a hierarchy of action. Some things have to be worth doing more than others or you can't act.
- Specify conditions for success and failure. Do not keep things in the fog
- Remove insufficiences
- Burn off the things that you are pathologically attached to
- You know at least 10 things you know you shouldn't be doing. You suffer because you aren’t willing to let go of what is biting you
- What would life be like if you stopped making it more miserable than it had to be?
- Control
- You are a collection of sub-personalities. Do not practice what you do not want to become. You are a boss and an employee.
"Be what you can be, you've got something that everyone needs man, including yourself. Let it out, that's where everything you want is and it's the case for every single one of you. Hoist up your goddamn privilege and go out there and do something in the world"
I never ever commented on a video but I had to do it for this series. It was an amazing experience listening to these lectures. Such a fatherly ending Dr. Peterson did for this course. It changed how I see the world and I will surely like to read some of the great psychologists Freud, Jung and Jean Piaget whom you have mentioned in these lectures.
By far my favorite lecture of this series. This should be mandatory viewing fo highschool students to help develop critical thinking.
I agree
That this can be available for free is a miracle. Transformative indeed.
The last lecture, I can't thank you enough ,God bless you.
J.B.Peterson is the type of guy to stay after the party to clean the place
I think he would party hard and clean up everything when he wakes up.
The ending was so real, it really feels like he speaks from his core and with genuine motivation, like he really wants to bring forth good to the world. It's amazing that these lectures are here for the world to see, because it's having a great positive impact on me and countless of others. I'm looking forward to spreading that impact to those around me. Thanks JP
Big thanks to Dr. Peterson. His content has helped me find real meaning, and truly sort myself out. Because of all this, I now have better relationships with everyone around me, I'm taking on more responsibility, and even getting a better, more well paying job. I feel useful. Thank you.
My God, I love this space in youtube. It's an understatement to mention how useful these lectures by Dr Peterson are. But along with that, people in the comments section from all over the world sharing their postive take aways from the lecture is even more amazing. Wow.
Man, just finished all 22 lectures, my god proffesor your incredible!
A lot of Days, after work i sit on my laptop and writing...writing...writing and watching your lectures. You are helping me a lot to set my goals for work, for my life. And I'm happy and thankful, that i was already on the right path. I hope to make the most out of my life. Aim up!
I feel kind of sad that the course finished, roughly speaking... I learned so much and feel so grateful. Lucky me, I still got Maps of Meaning to watch and learn. Thank you!
Started on 4 December 2020 ending at 6 march 2021 more then 24 hours of listening learned more then past 18 year of my life in this 1 day time. I think only few are who will listen every single minute but I'm one of them. thanks for every single word kings of lobster mr.jordam Peterson.
"Thats the two halves of the DNA molecule but I can't tell you how I know that"
Clearly you discovered this while tripping
Hahaha
This.
This is pretty much that 1%-2% of Peterson that I feel falls just short of perfection as an educator and scholar. Immeasurably grateful of just about everything else though :)
@@mattf2219 What do you mean?
Ive found a couple videos of him talking about his use of magic mushrooms before but it doesnt seem like wide spread knowledge that he absolutely does them lol
30:57 when something that "matter(s)" object(s) to you"
31:55 error contains the implicit world
39:05 this is something I've been doing the last year's since encountering his work, and now I can name it, watching like a hawk to positively or negatively reinforce a behavior
I have watched many of his lectures and listened as intently as I can. I feel like I am actually in his class and absorbing lots of it.
I've enjoyed numerous Dr. Peterson videos over the past few years and this one is by far the best and the soundest practical good advice for life video ever. Everyone at every stage in life could benefit immensely from watching this video! Start around minute 25.
Wow. Awesome series. Now it's time to watch it again, but taking notes this time...
Probably the most profound and prevalent person's of our generation. Jbp you are a true gem in this world of chaos. I feel so blessed to have these and all the lectures you do. We all absolutely love you!
Here’s an example of a personal journey I go through while watching these videos..
Around (1:07:00) “Snakes. Two halves of the same dna molecule”
Jordan lives in the world of pattern and loosely defined words to allow for his own self affirming story to manifest. His a priori structures are filtered wired for interest in fantasy, All nested within the deeper motivation of subconscious drives to power. In essence, his message and impact is merely the natural pattern of molecules to assemble power to their own purpose. The stupidity of the snake idea would only capture the interest of those who also are wired to be interested in fantasy.
-a cynical thought manifests in me
But what’s the underlying motivation for an idea like that to manifest within me? What am I compensating for? What in the world am I ignoring?
Perhaps, my comment was aimed at cutting my ideal at the knees, because why not? My ideal is to be like Jordan, but I clearly have a lot of work to do.
if we use Jordan’s definition of truth pragmatic in the sense that the intention of action in relation to my ideal is the marker of its truthfulness, then my commentary about Jordan is contradictory with my highest ideal
So now I should stop myself from identifying with those types of thoughts and reframe them:
Jordan’s has been able to notice and articulate the deepest patterns of human behavior, and has developed a following not just as a result of self affirimation and hunger for power, but with the intention to help others manifest the ideal of God within us.
-a positive reframe of the snake idea
Hope you all enjoyed reading this. I wanted to create a personal account and want to see if others relate
It was an interesting insight into your thoughts and sub -personalities. It was a good read. Do you often write down your thoughts and analyse them? I do.
One thing i noticed when listening to him is that I am aiming for a very similar thing he is, but he is much further ahead of me in terms of organising his thinking and understanding the world, and this causes me to feel uneasy. More precisely I want to figure out the truth myself rather than have someone hand it down to me, this is a prevalent feeling during my whole life, exactly the same when my parents tried to teach me, pretty much since I was about 5.
There is a practical side to this approach, I'm quite safe from brainwashing, and I am less prone to not questioning mostly correct but partially flawed theories. But that is not the source of it, it's just a side effect.
I feel like my purpose would be stolen if someone gave me all the answers. Then again we should rely on each other and cooperate and learn from each other, so I'm not certain what to do about this. What's the right balance of doing things myself Vs asking for help.
@Corleone Interesting, what do you mean by efficient at suffering? Are you saying that he's able to recover from suffering faster than most, leaving more energy for him to utilize his strengths?
Jordan Peterson is like a detailed and accurate projection of my thoughts and philosophical thoughts. I am happy that I first met a like-minded person! I see myself in it as a reflection. I am paralyzed as far as I understand it well despite the translation into my native language. I want to ask hundreds of questions that excites my mind. Joradn you are the best teacher in my life, you inspire me, thanks for all my friend.
Teared up a little at the end. Coming across this lecture series was one of the best things that happened in my life.
Thank you for making and sharing this. My mom died of cancer in June last year, diagnosed in March. I saw this shortly after her diagnosis and you were so right. I consciously decided to become the monster. You articulated something I’ve been doing for years in relation to her and my wider family but it was done more on instinct. It was bloody hard, hard, hard but I’m standing on the other side of this now but at the time I knew I had to face it, running away for me just was not an option. I chose to stand and be the strength in that situation. When you said you need to be the “monster” I understood that immediately. I was with her right the way through and helped her face the end of her life. I was the monster at the funeral. I’m still that monster now dealing with family issues that everyone else has unsuccessfully tried to bury. I am being the monster to stop this shit in its tracks and deal with it so that it doesn’t go on to contaminate another generation. I can’t thank you enough. Your words gave me clarity. You helped me to realise I had, and have a responsibility to slay these dragons. These experiences have taught me that I am stronger than I thought and I am well able.
Powerful... What can I say? I discovered you on your first appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast back in December. I have since then gone through your Maps of Meaning course, your Personality course, TONS of clips from these lectures that are circulating on youtube and various interviews, podcasts and now the biblical series. It's just invaluable the information that i have recieved from you! I have questioned my habits and surroundings before but not with these tools. This time it's with a more extensive understanding on how and why things work the way they do and that gives me WAY more motivation to put what I've learned into practice so that I can become a better person. It seems less likely I can become willfully blind towards a potential demise of my being so how could I not be motived towards striving towards the good of life?
I will keep watching everything you do and I also plan to do all of the self authoring programs. I feel more hopeful than I've been in a long time. For all the years I've been down in chaos and hell from the causes of family problems, personal loses, addiction, martyrdom, resentment, broken heart, trust issues, depression and fear all bundled up in a clusterfuck of a traumatic and nihalistic state of mind I now feel I can put that wisdom to better use. I know what I have to do, I know what tools to sharpen even further and I am goddamn ready to grab life and its opportunities by the nutsack.
Jordan Peterson, I can't thank you enough!
Great comment. Best of luck continuing to sort yourself out bucko!
Thanks mate!
so.. how you're doing marcanta?
Go on mate, you"re great 💪🏼
@@marcanta you can say a lot apparently
Im pretty sure you'll never read this personally dr Peterson but i will say it anyway, you have made me a better person and i thank you for it.
Professor...do you realise that I get no sleep because you can't leave your channel alone for one damn day? How am I supposed to clean my room if you keep me up all the time? You are my favourite monster.
omg same!
Leeloo Dallas 1.5x speed option 🤗
you just changed my life
henkiedebomb Been on 2x speed for a year and a half. McKenna + Watts + Peterson. So woke I've gone crazy.
I can't handle 2x speed myself, probably because english isn't my first language, but 1.5 works well too :D
1 minute in and im already lost for words. Truly amazing work
me too. Awesome
stranded in a train station waiting for trains to start running, perfect time to watch a new JBP video.
Thank you very much for posting these lectures online for free Dr. Peterson
This and the conscientiousness video are the examples I point people to who claim to be against Peterson (for whatever litany of sins they place on him).
This is the kind of lecturer I hope to be some day.
Felt the need to put down a comment of gratitude after watching this series. I can already feel I`m on a better path than the one I was previously stumbling down. Thank you Dr. Peterson for giving me the sword to fight the dragons in my life!
I have an odd habit I've noticed. When I do something good out of the ordinary, I feel good about it and want to do it again up until I receive praise from my Mom. Once she notices it, and comments positively on it, I want to throw it away, scrap it, deface it. I'm not exactly sure why, but it has shaped a lot of my behavior. The opposite isn't true, if I act badly, and she notices and comments, I don't double down to spite her, or cease to please her; her opinion doesn't matter.
I think it may be that I don't want her to feel a sense of accomplishment from my accomplishments because I feel I've accomplished this thing in spite of her, not because of her. So I guess this means I see my mother as an antagonist, which makes sense. When I was a child, my brother was a fiend and a sadist towards me. Most nights I was afraid to sleep, believing he might feel like ending my life while I was helpless. But I understood, even though my brother was a monster, my mother enabled, even rewarded his behavior, so who was the bigger threat?
Only as I wrote the comment. Thank you, Dr. Peterson, for all the work you do.
Have you watched Parag Khanna's videos?
No, sch-9000, I haven't watched Parag Khanna's videos. Who are they and why should I care?
Instances like these can not be undervalued! Nowhere else on TH-cam will something as personally profound as this happen. Nowhere!
Sounds like hell my dude. Write that autobiography or even write just about that one thing, or one or several of those experiences with your brother, eh? All the best.
What a brilliant man. God bless Dr. Jordan Peterson and his family.
And that's that !
Jordan Peterson will E N H A N C E your life as he has mine. Thankyou Jordan.
This has changed my life. It will change my son his life. It will change the world.
Thank you for uploadng your classes, Prof. Peterson. Have a good summer!
Thank you so much dr. peterson. I'm a new college student pursing clinical psychology in Eugene Oregon and I've recently had hit a rough spot in my life. I've spend so much time watching and finishing your maps and meaning videos and now your personality videos as well as so many of your debate and public speeches, I recently bought your book as a way to better my reading habits and I'd just like to thank you so much and I hope to take one of your classes so please don't stop teaching!
I LOVE when Jordan endorses being "a monster". It gets me all enthusiastic and excited. Nothing feels better than going into that mental space where you are just swatting down other people and their desires and opinions while you ride your horse to victory. He's so right: it is a hatred of being. But that hatred is very motivational to me.
Goad Said Just avoid seeing yourself as something tyrannical
I'm not sure I understand entirely what you are implying. One wouldn't attempt to be a weak monster - or a weak anything. And a strong monster almost seems to = tyrannical. As in tyrannical is a good adjective for a strong monster.
Goad Said tyrannical has it's own definition. being a monster doesn't mean forcing your will on other people, it just means you have the capacity to if needed. A civilized monster can operate in such a way that tyrrany is a last resort not the first.
Peterson always talks about being familiar with the monster / shadow, having the capability to use it in doses, but never fully surrendering to it. It is for sure a very powerful state, but I don't think he would ever endorse "hatred of being" as any standard modus operandi. That's when you see yourself becoming the tyrant and NOT the hero.
Goad Said , it's about controlling the monster so that its strength can be used to defeat the ACTUAL monsters (dragons). You sound like you are letting the monster control you instead , which will have devastating consequences. You are deliberately adding suffering instead of rising above it by reducing it. You are doing it wrong, kid.
Having just finished this lecture series, I can only feel humble and grateful. Eye opening, light bringing, dragon crushing, mighty. When we stand on the shoulders of giants, we stand on Dr. Peterson’s shoulders among the others.
thank you dr. peterson for this semester and helping me to make myself great again
I'm not big on TV but I've binge watched this entire series. Damn! Unbelievably educational.
I already want to watch it again.
I have pretty much an architypal oedipal mother, as a child she literally fed me to be a blob and just smiled about it, like the Hansel and Gretel-story. She didn't let me out of her sight and wanted to do everything for me. And my sister was/is pretty much a monster who mocked me for every good thing I tried to do.
I'll have another beer....
Thanks, Mr. Peterson! I've gotten way better in the last 5 years, but still have work to do. Feels like I alone have to fix everything.
I watched Maps of Meaning first and thought that it couldn't get any better. Jordan, your work is calling all of us frogs out from beneath the surface, watch out world.
Sorting Myself Out ribbit ribbit
Systems are nested hierarchies, the more understanding you have, the better able you are to address the issues that will matter most.
Evolution of belief systems and issues of control? If something is worth believing in, it is timeless.
The heart is more important than the head when it comes to achieving greatness.
For the average task, only the intellect is needed but a great challenge will require heart and soul.
Imagination is the connecting of disparate things in novel ways.
It is not the job of the intellect to tame the passions of the heart, that is the job of the spirit. The intellect is best managed by the heart, without this connection you get the psychopath. The heart is best managed by the spirit, without this connection, you get the horrors of war.
I do not give much consideration to the ideas of a man that doesn't believe in God, the reason, God is not an intellectual issue. Our reality is constructed in such a way that there is a nested hierarchy of meaning. In terms of information, it is meaning that gives the information value. In terms of consciousness, emotion is higher up in the hierarchy than intellect. Spiritual is higher than emotional. #1; What we understand. #2; What we value. #3; What we do about it. A material expression is the result of this process. The actionable consequences of distilled expectation arise, in part, from the intentional field of implicate order. The reason I believe that emotion is a higher state of processing than intellect is because chess computers don't enjoy winning. What is spiritual faith? It is trust, but this trust is based on a foundational understanding rooted in intellectual experience, emotional maturity and a spiritual relationship.
Intellect; practice, practice, practice.
Emotion; respond, connect, share.
Spirit; become, love, unify.
Principles or laws that govern the affairs of men: Men are driven by intellectual pursuits to a lesser degree and by emotional factors to a greater degree. For the most part, there are no checks and balances in place to correct the turbulence or disruption to the system and when you factor in the spiritual component (belief systems and values, etc) things really get complicated. The result of all this chaos is that men begin killing each other and the main reasons are the lack of practical wisdom and no moral compass.
The most intelligent left brained dogmatist can be reduced to an idiot by an unfounded belief system or a strong emotion. This brings up a flaw in Gene Roddenberry's concept of the character Spock (Vulcans). Spock would not be without emotion, more likely, he would have a very finely tuned, useful, and well regulated emotional state that would, in fact, be quite strong at the right moment, if he were to be a superior intellectual creature. Think about the dimensions involved in appreciating something of great beauty. Your five senses may play a role but when your emotional state is engaged, that is when the real magic happens.
The intellectual realm is usually not too difficult to navigate. Most people find their niche and naturally fall into an area where they can do pretty well. The emotional realm is deeper and much more nuanced, behaviors ripple out into the landscape in ways we would never imagine. It takes a very long time to perfect the kind of emotional intelligence that creates win-win scenarios as a general course of action. The spiritual realm is so nuanced and so deep that few navigate this landscape without upsets, wrong turns, misunderstandings and a sense of one's own hypocrisy. There are very few superstars in the arena of spirituality. I would also guess that being spiritual, for the most part, is not highly valued in our society, also there is little consensus on what constitutes spirituality. As I have stated it is a deeply nuanced realm that does not give up its secrets easily. You have to want it, you have to work at it and most importantly, you have to care.

Latent consciousness is the idea that a system needs devices in the environment to sense the world around it. The more it can sense the environment the more conscious it is. Self awareness is knowing your position in state space, in a manner that includes emotional and spiritual components.
In the hierarchy of maturity you must first master your intellect through doing, then you must master your emotions through serving, only then are you ready to take on the things of the spirit. I suspect that this would be an act of full surrender.
Hi, Sorting Myself Out
. I am from India, who is trying really hard to get my act together for the last one year. I viewed your channel hence i have a sense that you can answer my question. English is not my first language so i hope you get my point.
My question to you.
Until now, i've finished, All "Jordan peterson & Joe rogan podcasts" and "Maps of Meaning" series, I am just going through the comment section of this playlist to see whether this "Personality lectures" are good. I will be happy, if you could advice me which should I watch next? "Biblical series" or "Personality series"?. Which will be more helpful to get my act together?
I can watch both "Biblical series" and "Personality series" but unfortunately i don't have that much time right now(since english is not my first language, i spend lot of time in dictionary to understand Jordan Peterson's words, To complete a video i take a long time as well). I will watch one of this series now, then maybe after one year the other one. So which would you recommend, "Biblical series" or "Personality series"??, If you prefer any other videos or playlists better than these two or there is a must watch video, please suggest that as well.
Please answer me.
Hi, carlotapuig
, Read my above comment. I will be happy to hear your suggestion as well.
I binge watched this playlist in less than a week, that says something.
It reminded me of my High school philosophy classes more than ten years ago, but without a teacher that starts rambling about irrelevant politician's wives and so on.
Even without being a student of psychology, but being interested in a very humanistic way, the contents is very comprehensible, the examples, the historical and pop culture references help "vulgarize" the dense theory.
It was very enriching to listen and watch and even with the pandemic, it comforts me in the fact that the decisions I've taken for my future were the morally just and productive ones, as well as challenging enough for me to feel a sense of belonging with the people I engage with.
This man is my hero
Civil engineering graduate from Texas here - thank you for putting this online I never knew I cared about psychology until I heard your lectures.
Dang, I got so much to think through. Gotta sort my room oot big time, by any stretch of the imagination.
Thank you for another great lecture.
You have taught me more than my parents and all of my teachers combined.
smoking joints and listening to Jordan. That's a sorted morning.
only if you first clean your room.
Same
Wow! I watched all the lectures so far and this farewell brought tears in to my eyes. Thank you Dr Peterson for your genuine hard work to sort us up! My life has been changed drastically since i accidentally saw one of your videos and I can't watch anything else but your videos since then! I feel i am getting stronger and i am burning the unwanted stuff. Thank you sir! I love you!
I love Jordan Peterson!
