Rule 1 explanation is imprecise. It's not about being confident but about willingness to be vulnerable/transparent/can be criticized and still move on and do action. Confidence tend to be superficial unless you are already competent. Now if you are already competent then confidence is natural which renders the rule moot. So the rule is not about confidence because the premise is the person is not confident in the first place. The rule is about being open to experience and be courageous in spite of the risk taken and confront it face-up shoulders straight. It is a rule that calls upon an adventurous spirit towards the unknown. You are not confident, but rather you are courageous. There is an ocean of difference. The motto would be "i am not sure i will be able to do it and most likely i'll fail but in spite of it, i will face it head-on because i'm pretty sure my best will amount to something valuable regardless of the outcome".

I would say you misinterpreted number 6 rather badly. The point of setting your house in perfect order before criticizing the world is that if you cannot control your own very small sphere of influence to a high degree, then you're not qualified to even begin to examine larger and much more complex systems such as global problems. Virtually nobody is able on an individual level to accurately understand global issues, let alone critique and fix them. That's the point.
Regularly he points out our tendencies to blame the world unknowingly. Set your house in order, because that's the real thing we blame. We wrongly think it's the world that fucks us up, but the world is a projection of our own specific set of beliefs. It's a inner job.
@@VilmoAntoine again, it's not about who or what is to blame for our issues, it's about taking small steps to set order to your life, start small, with your "room". Then, you're in better shape... less chaotic. Then move on to your "kitchen"... your "yard" then you're in even better shape, even more ordered... and MAINTAIN. That's the trick. It's about finding purpose in self-care and the immediate community around us, not a blame-game. I think you too are missing the point. It's not blame. Stuff happens. Sadness comes. Happiness comes. Good things and bad happen. Order is a consequence of effort and accountability; taking responsibility for yourself first. It's not about blame at all.
@@tedlogan4867 While I think I understand you're argument, I guess you're a bit too optimistic. At least with the 'not about blame at all' part. Being primarily focused on self improvement doesn't mean you have to be disconnected from everything wrong that is happening around you. From how I understand Peterson, If you are in the position to spot a problem and provide a solution to it, then you should do it. In other words, if you are better than someone / something (presumably you can accurately assert that) then you should tell them they suck.
@@iulianju7893 It was never my intention to present those two ideas as mutually exclusive. My intention is to speak to a high-resolution examination of this particular frame of reference. I was, and am ONLY referring to the metaphor of "cleaning your room", and what it means. That concept isn't about fixing blame, it's about setting order to what one can control. It's the height of arrogance to proceed from the standpoint that one has the answer or solution to an immensely complex problem if one cannot even solve or control rather minor and simplistic systems within their immediate sphere of influence. That is the only point I'm making, in direct reference to the "clean your room" metaphor and within that context only, nothing more. As far as "disconnect from everything wrong around you"... that's another issue entirely and out of context.
Also, Dr. Peterson comes from an academic background and dislikes the "armchair revolutionary" mentality that has become the norm for activism, and is even amplified by social media. The thing about cleaning a room and setting it in order is that, firstly, it's a concrete action that is in your immediate sphere of influence, and secondly, it looks mundane enough that it would seem easy to do but in reality it is much more complex than expected, which happens to mirror the reality of bigger issues. My personal take is that by trying to influence something that is within reach, and encountering struggles with it, you learn about the hidden complexities that lie in trying to organize a system, even one as simple and small as a single room. That may in turn help people center their efforts into bettering themselves and recognize that some problems are too complex to resolve with cookie-cutter solutions. There is also the psycological aspect of improving your living space, which brings many positive effects.
The discussion of the rules was the real meat of the book. This is not a book who's benefit can be fully gotten without reading it. Part of why it's amazing is the mentorship and guidance of Dr Peterson

After reading this too many times, I now, sleep with my shoulders back and have achieved the ability to exude confidence to the people in my dreams and dominate my unconcious life.
Jordan teaches you not to be a victim, which is why so many people see him as a huge threat, their ideology is based on being a victim. And it's ironic, the people that protest him are the people that need to listen to him the most.
skateboarding is such a wonderful analogy because you also learn how to fall and not get hurt thats been one of the most effective skills i learned as a kid.
You were VASTLY more succinct than I was in my comment, and you (or Baelish) is a billion percent correct :) Nice to see. Also, it's "a thing" to see others immediately not getting it.
@@AeroPR One of the things he constantly repeat is "Find what is wrong in your life and stop doing it". This is the most superficial advice you can ever give to someone. This is like saying "I have the solution to the unemployment problem, just create jobs for those who don't have one"
@@taurtue "This is the most superficial advice you can ever give to someone." No it's not. If you've ever been close to stupid people, you'd know that so many of what makes their life miserable in their eyes is so easy to solve. They literally just don't analyze it properly and just SOLVE IT. It honestly hurts to watch, (so try to help them or remove those people from your life- problem solved btw) since it actually is so easy as well. People feel moody and are not at their full efficiency, not performing in whatever they're doing Well FIX your posture, get proper nutrition, work out, get sun, be hydrated, maintain a healthy sleep schedule If you'd know how many problems of the average citizen those things would solve if exercised consistently ANd that was just an example. People suffer because of certain things, lay on their back, put all 4 up in the air and endure the suffering, while whining about it as well and it's so unbelievably stupid You could life such a fullfilled happy life if you'd just FIX it, so Jordan Peterson keeps repeating this since it's such an essential truth so many people fail to realize. And it needs to happen before you can build routines or fixes for other, more in depth issues. He knows that very well and he's right for repeating it alot. If you'd have any sliver of intelligence you'd acknowledge how fast and precise his mind "is moving" his thought processes are extremely defined and he's very elaborate. He can analyze and "decrypt" very complex matters and find the solution to them with brilliance, you are therefore just obviously not intelligent enough, after calling him out for "not being able to go very deep"
Thank you so much for this fun summary! Just got my copy yesterday! I've been watching JP's lectures online for a couple of months now and my husband surprised me with this book as a gift. I'm over the moon! Everyone needs to hear his message.
Jordan Peterson is always so precise with his words As he has noted, precision is ultimately a consolidation of philosophical forms that may be an amalgamation of various stances on ancient ruminations and scientifically significant modulations of behavioral mental 'frameworks.' I agree with this because disingenuous antagonism occurs along with and concurrent to rapidly expanding entanglements of the prefrontal cortex, from a Keynesian point of view at least. That's why disenfranchised members of the proletariat are disengaged from the zeitgeist of dysphoria, and myopic to the point of being pedantic, pugnacious, and even down right rude.
@@jeroensmook4778 JOrdAn Petersun, he done gonna learn us the smart bookings and teachins us how not to loose the game of life mang. Him does is in tell a gent things and explain welly.
Precision is one of many aspects of "12 Rules" that made it not only informative, but actually enjoyable to read - his vocabulary, and also his penchant for using words in a context of a less familiar definition. However, (and this might be just my particular attitude) the title of this chapter "Be Precise In Your Speech" doesn't flow - it seems almost oxymoronic. In my mind it tries to come out as "Speak Precisely", a virtually identical thought, just fewer words. A phrase that persists at the core of my personal quest for precision is one that I spotted on a bumper sticker as a youngster: "eschew obfuscation"
My mom was absolutely a helicopter parent and I am greatly aware of my issues that have developed from it and yet don't know how to grow out of it... I have fear to do what I need to and a life of suffering doesn't seem worth living. I've had way too much cushion in life... My sister on the other had was raised passively and she's self centered but a go getter and successful
Thanks for those tipps, I really forgot about some! And yes it's really important to not judge about others and tell stuff before looking at your own stuff. You never know the "full story" of someone and if someone doesn't wanna talk we should be fine with that because if someone really needs to talk, he/she/it will do it.
Stand up straight with shoulders back. Take care of yourself like you have a responsibility to do so. Make friends with people who want the best for you. Compare yourself to who you were yesterday not others- or your sense of self will lower. Set your house in perfect order before you criticize others. Pursue what is meaningful not what is expedient, fun or easy at the moment. Social trust- tell your own truth. Be precise in your speech- what's causing the problem. Once you define the problem, you are close to the solution. Appreciate the beauty that's all around us.
I have endless respect for Jordan Peterson. Having heard some of his lectures and being so confident in his intellect, I pay far more attention to those really simple basic tips than I otherwise would, if I just stumbled upon them. Great summary and an awesome channel
good explanation. there's another way to look at #11 though. "don't bother children while their skateboarding" this refers to finding the right time & place to give advice.
I love how you can present Jordan Peterson's work in THIS style and it's just the most nonchalant kind of video that you wouldn't be surprised to see girls watching on Instagram while they drink their spiced lattes. It really destroys the mainstream narrative about Peterson. Why do people think he's so dangerous?
Reading Jordan Peterson's book is refreshing. He is a psychologist whose writing combines science and common sense. One of his talents is his ability to articulate complex ideas to a wide audience, regardless of whether you have a background in psychology or not (although it would be good if you're interested in psychology, it will be very much helpful). Personally, I find that this book is a bit complex in language and some of its terms I'm not familiar with. But both book concepts are simple enough and easy to understand. It covers his twelve rules for life, which are intended not only as a guide for the life of the individual but as "a remedy for society’s present ills." Peterson believes that the cure for society starts with curing the individual, the smallest unit of society. Peterson’s well-known advice to "clean your room" is a reflection of the truth that if you can’t even manage the most basic and mundane responsibilities of life, then you have no business dictating to others how to fix society.

Thanks, animations is great. I have tried to listen full audio book, but returned it back, because there was too much biblical stuff and wisdom. And yet I enjoy watching videos with Jordan Peterson.
This was a fantastic summary. The animation was amazing and the voice over+ the explanation was extremely helpful. You have put a great deal of effort into making this video. Great job👍
The way this book is described, I can see why they banned it. It clearly encourages terrorism. "Don't be a helicopter parent" *goes and shoots up a school*
@@arkine11 I can't tell if you are making a joke or not, but it is kind of the opposite, as doing things recommended in the book would greatly reduce the chance of you becoming that kind of person. Helicopter parenting isn't a good thing, it's the other extreme of neglectful parenting. If you are too controlling of your children that is just as damaging.
Loved the video, this will be a great way to introduce someone to Jordan Peterson’s book and easy fun way for kids to understand the 12 rules. Awesome break down. My 10 yrs old grasped it right away when I showed him this video. 🥰
Personally love the concept and everything that Dr.Peterson stands for. Understand that it needs to not be a long video but really need these very important interpretations to be explained slower in order to process them fully.
Thank you for this summary! My dad got me the book a few months ago and I hadn't cracked it open but was always curious...now at least I've got a good idea of what to expect and it definitely sounds like a good read 👍
Love the video Theodore. As a side note, one of my favorite aspects of your videos is the guitar melody playing in the background, really brings it all together. Other than that, I loved the summary. It’s refreshing when you see ideas reiterated consistently when giving self help tips like the importance of comparing yourself to you and not others. I try to I instill that lesson into anyone that I have the opportunity to mentor. Thanks again man and can’t wait for future content!!
8:05 One day I was watching one of Dr. Peterson's biblical lectures and my sister (who is religious) asked me about what he believes, I can't say for sure, I'm not him, but this prompted a convo between me and her about religion and faith. At the time, the best way I could think of to describe religious faith was "blindly follow", though even then, I had a feeling that wasn't accurate. This bit made all the pieces fall into place, so to speak. Thank you!
Incredible video, Practical Psychology. Have been watching Mr. Peterson’s lessons lately and couldn’t stop, I wish to have such complex thoughts as him, and this video was a great representation of his book. Thank you for this great content!
#1 Don't be captain Save a ho. #2 Don't be a simp. #3 Work on improving your self. #4 Don't waste your time and money on dating #5 Don't get married or have kids #6 Your life is your life, make the most of it. #7 You don't need someone else to be happy #8 Avoid the drama of relationships with women #9 Stay safe, don't pal around with women at work #10 Concentrate on achieving your goals, not someone else's # 11 Remember that only you can make yourself happy #12 Don't pay much attention to self appointed experts
My favorite video on TH-cam RN. Thanks to a real one Jordan Peterson and the ppl behind practical psychology. I just found your channel (thanks to the algorithm lol) and i subbed.
This is a nice video, but I guess what I'm trying to say to the people watching is, that it shouldn't be taken as a substitution for the book. For me at least, it's not just about the WHAT, but the WHY - the meaning behind the rules. I like JPs book because of the way he puts forward his arguments and gives examples, often from his personal life, that really give the reader a deeper understanding of these rules and where they're comming from - WHY he believes they're good to be followed. One thing I was missing though is also the HOW, because even when you more deeply understand the rules and why it is good to follow them, you still might have some challenge implementing them in your daily life. Still a great book!
I like more this kind of video format. I think it takes longer but looks more professional. It's nice to see that you try new things. Keep working, you're amazing!
12 Rules has been such a fun read so far! My favorite part is Rule 5, the part about the playground monster, and then, to the part with ornery child juxtaposed together came together really well. Jordan Peterson really painted the scene together well. I could immensely imagine the scene he was describing.
Dude this video is great. Animation is very well done, your speech is clear and concise, and you deliver your information well (obviously taking on point ten there 😉). Thoroughly enjoy your narration and the channel's content. Keep it up 💯.
Fantastic Theodore! This is a book I intend to start very soon, so loved the quick summary here Also really enjoyed the animation style, really looks great
When you start reading the book read the "overture" and you'll see that this video is wrong from the first thing he says. Jordan never says to live in order or how to turn choas into order he says quite clearly that you must have a good balance or "walk the line between" order and chaos to have a good life.
Your videos are a bit too fast. I slowed it down through play back and as you say~ it introduced me to your thoughts in reasonably sized doses. Thanks. Good work. 👍👍
Good video!! I'm reading the book right now, and although you sumarized the main points here, which is good, I still recommend to read the book because it develops each point into an amazing depth that is simply astonishing

Great video and animation. I'm from Brazil and I have watched a video similar this in portuguese, however you described the rules with another perspective, well done! Thanks for sharing with us. Cheers
Thats like exact opposite of what Peterson says. What good there is from positivism if your life is complete mess. You have to act and do something with yourself, fulfill yourself, search for meaning not for positiveness.
Damn you people misunderstood all book, its not just about happiness or positiveness. Its about meaning in life and living of fulfilling life. These rules are not some cliche 12 step program, its a way to deal with yourself. Its not meant to be feelgood book, its rules that literally should take you from chaos to order.
Stand Up straight with your shoulders back - In this topic, he is describing how to carefully set your boundaries and not to be a pushover, he is talking about the examples from the nature that exerts setting boundaries, stand up for yourself and facing natural competition. It's not talking about the posture, as I understand. Please look into this.
#6 is also that if you do not have the energy and focus to be perfect yourself. You can not blame your own failur on other. But it is not only that it is unfair in a sense, it is just not the solution to your problem. You are most likely to fix yourself. You are yourself the method and the muschurement. The bigest improvement in your life you can have is to improve yourself, it do not depend on others. It is a typical counter argument towards activists. They are realy angry about others lack of perfection, but they are far from perfect them self. Actually the lack of having there life put togheter could be the very seed for there anger that they take out on others unperfection. Do not go down that route, fix yourself first, then you might be able to fix your surandings to live hapier, and then extend on that...
Jordan Peterson is a wonderful person, righteous, and full of humanity and responsibility. generation will remember him, even more than we do nowadays. the fact that world is more open now, free traveling, less poverty, free dating, probably no direct enslavement, and so... yet, we have other problems in many places in the globe, sexual crisis, gender crisis, over sens of guilt at high range in many academic zones, and so ...

These are the literal reenactments of the book. The book goes much deeper though.
as deep as JP can go, which is not very deep
@@taurtue show us an example. If anything is the other way around.
@@AeroPR One of the things he constantly repeat is "Find what is wrong in your life and stop doing it". This is the most superficial advice you can ever give to someone. This is like saying "I have the solution to the unemployment problem, just create jobs for those who don't have one"
So the thing that is wrong in 'YOUR' life is the unemployment problem? Turns out you didn't understand what he said afterall.
@@taurtue "This is the most superficial advice you can ever give to someone."
No it's not. If you've ever been close to stupid people, you'd know that so many of what makes their life miserable in their eyes is so easy to solve. They literally just don't analyze it properly and just SOLVE IT.
It honestly hurts to watch, (so try to help them or remove those people from your life- problem solved btw) since it actually is so easy as well.
People feel moody and are not at their full efficiency, not performing in whatever they're doing
Well FIX your posture, get proper nutrition, work out, get sun, be hydrated, maintain a healthy sleep schedule
If you'd know how many problems of the average citizen those things would solve if exercised consistently
ANd that was just an example. People suffer because of certain things, lay on their back, put all 4 up in the air and endure the suffering, while whining about it as well and it's so unbelievably stupid
You could life such a fullfilled happy life if you'd just FIX it, so Jordan Peterson keeps repeating this since it's such an essential truth so many people fail to realize. And it needs to happen before you can build routines or fixes for other, more in depth issues.
He knows that very well and he's right for repeating it alot. If you'd have any sliver of intelligence you'd acknowledge how fast and precise his mind "is moving" his thought processes are extremely defined and he's very elaborate. He can analyze and "decrypt" very complex matters and find the solution to them with brilliance,
you are therefore just obviously not intelligent enough, after calling him out for "not being able to go very deep"
Thank you so much for this fun summary! Just got my copy yesterday! I've been watching JP's lectures online for a couple of months now and my husband surprised me with this book as a gift. I'm over the moon! Everyone needs to hear his message.
This video needs to be seen by the whole human population
I quite enjoy being a "dark and twisted hermit", thanks.
thumb up for the example of using 'faith'. pretty sure i'll use this example to explain things to others one day.
Red Lobster: Stay away from our lobsters!
JBP: are you standing straight with your shoulders back?
love Dr. Peterson! read his book a couple months ago and this was a good refresher! Looking forward to his new book!
Jordan Peterson is always so precise with his words As he has noted, precision is ultimately a consolidation of philosophical forms that may be an amalgamation of various stances on ancient ruminations and scientifically significant modulations of behavioral mental 'frameworks.' I agree with this because disingenuous antagonism occurs along with and concurrent to rapidly expanding entanglements of the prefrontal cortex, from a Keynesian point of view at least. That's why disenfranchised members of the proletariat are disengaged from the zeitgeist of dysphoria, and myopic to the point of being pedantic, pugnacious, and even down right rude.
Funny .. I appreciate the effort. ; ) I particularly enjoyed your insertion of the term 'Keynesian' at exactly the most inappropriate moment.
Engrish preeez
@@jeroensmook4778 JOrdAn Petersun, he done gonna learn us the smart bookings and teachins us how not to loose the game of life mang. Him does is in tell a gent things and explain welly.
Precision is one of many aspects of "12 Rules" that made it not only informative, but actually enjoyable to read - his vocabulary, and also his penchant for using words in a context of a less familiar definition. However, (and this might be just my particular attitude) the title of this chapter "Be Precise In Your Speech" doesn't flow - it seems almost oxymoronic. In my mind it tries to come out as "Speak Precisely", a virtually identical thought, just fewer words. A phrase that persists at the core of my personal quest for precision is one that I spotted on a bumper sticker as a youngster: "eschew obfuscation"
My mom was absolutely a helicopter parent and I am greatly aware of my issues that have developed from it and yet don't know how to grow out of it... I have fear to do what I need to and a life of suffering doesn't seem worth living. I've had way too much cushion in life... My sister on the other had was raised passively and she's self centered but a go getter and successful
Innovative animation, really adds to the information shared by the voice over.
Great job.
That's the best video about Peterson's about I watched. Good job, dude.
Jordan peterson is awesome and a very inspirational person and your book summaries rock!
Thanks for those tipps, I really forgot about some!
And yes it's really important to not judge about others and tell stuff before looking at your own stuff.
You never know the "full story" of someone and if someone doesn't wanna talk we should be fine with that because if someone really needs to talk, he/she/it will do it.
The best think you can learn from JP is how to talk. What a great speaker.
Yes,that truly is the best think..in fact, it's the best think ever.
I'm appreciative of the summary of the book. Keep up the good work.
Slow your speech down to a comfortable cadence and bring down your volume, it will feel less rushed. Great video by the way!
I watched this on 1.5x speed and it still sounds ok.
Stand up straight with shoulders back.
Take care of yourself like you have a responsibility to do so.
Make friends with people who want the best for you.
Compare yourself to who you were yesterday not others- or your sense of self will lower.
Set your house in perfect order before you criticize others.
Pursue what is meaningful not what is expedient, fun or easy at the moment.
Social trust- tell your own truth.
Be precise in your speech- what's causing the problem. Once you define the problem, you are close to the solution.
Appreciate the beauty that's all around us.
I have endless respect for Jordan Peterson. Having heard some of his lectures and being so confident in his intellect, I pay far more attention to those really simple basic tips than I otherwise would, if I just stumbled upon them. Great summary and an awesome channel
good explanation. there's another way to look at #11 though. "don't bother children while their skateboarding" this refers to finding the right time & place to give advice.
I love how you can present Jordan Peterson's work in THIS style and it's just the most nonchalant kind of video that you wouldn't be surprised to see girls watching on Instagram while they drink their spiced lattes. It really destroys the mainstream narrative about Peterson. Why do people think he's so dangerous?
Reading Jordan Peterson's book is refreshing. He is a psychologist whose writing combines science and common sense. One of his talents is his ability to articulate complex ideas to a wide audience, regardless of whether you have a background in psychology or not (although it would be good if you're interested in psychology, it will be very much helpful).
Personally, I find that this book is a bit complex in language and some of its terms I'm not familiar with. But both book concepts are simple enough and easy to understand. It covers his twelve rules for life, which are intended not only as a guide for the life of the individual but as "a remedy for society’s present ills." Peterson believes that the cure for society starts with curing the individual, the smallest unit of society. Peterson’s well-known advice to "clean your room" is a reflection of the truth that if you can’t even manage the most basic and mundane responsibilities of life, then you have no business dictating to others how to fix society.

Great synopsis and animation.
Now I feel like rereading 12 Rules...
Please do it, because the video is off quite a bit.
Thanks, animations is great. I have tried to listen full audio book, but returned it back, because there was too much biblical stuff and wisdom.
And yet I enjoy watching videos with Jordan Peterson.
This was a fantastic summary. The animation was amazing and the voice over+ the explanation was extremely helpful. You have put a great deal of effort into making this video. Great job👍
Don't believe in anything too much. Don't follow anyone too far. Do as rage is smart, or do smart rage things. Keep your own morale up.
Very beautiful animation style
"Life is not meant to be happy or fair but it's meant to be meaningful"
This needs to be taught.
despite I love this video I really recommend for everyone to purchase the book. There's a lot more in the book that
doesn't shown here
Thanks that's a great summary.....Jordan Peterson takes way too long to say what you say clearly and simply. Great job.
Love the new animation style
only half way through it myself, but so far it has been eye-opening
TY for the upload - New Zealand Citizen
can't believe they banned the book
@@axelgil349 She is also going to China now to research oppression techniques
The way this book is described, I can see why they banned it. It clearly encourages terrorism.
"Don't be a helicopter parent"
*goes and shoots up a school*
@@arkine11 I can't tell if you are making a joke or not, but it is kind of the opposite, as doing things recommended in the book would greatly reduce the chance of you becoming that kind of person.
Helicopter parenting isn't a good thing, it's the other extreme of neglectful parenting. If you are too controlling of your children that is just as damaging.
The first rule is not about exerting dominance but rather a willingness to confront the suffering of life head to head
Loved the video, this will be a great way to introduce someone to Jordan Peterson’s book and easy fun way for kids to understand the 12 rules. Awesome break down. My 10 yrs old grasped it right away when I showed him this video. 🥰
Personally love the concept and everything that Dr.Peterson stands for. Understand that it needs to not be a long video but really need these very important interpretations to be explained slower in order to process them fully.
Thank you for this summary! My dad got me the book a few months ago and I hadn't cracked it open but was always curious...now at least I've got a good idea of what to expect and it definitely sounds like a good read 👍
Love the video Theodore. As a side note, one of my favorite aspects of your videos is the guitar melody playing in the background, really brings it all together. Other than that, I loved the summary. It’s refreshing when you see ideas reiterated consistently when giving self help tips like the importance of comparing yourself to you and not others. I try to I instill that lesson into anyone that I have the opportunity to mentor. Thanks again man and can’t wait for future content!!
Good job man. Good animation. Good voice. Good speech.

One day I was watching one of Dr. Peterson's biblical lectures and my sister (who is religious) asked me about what he believes, I can't say for sure, I'm not him, but this prompted a convo between me and her about religion and faith. At the time, the best way I could think of to describe religious faith was "blindly follow", though even then, I had a feeling that wasn't accurate. This bit made all the pieces fall into place, so to speak. Thank you!
Incredible video, Practical Psychology. Have been watching Mr. Peterson’s lessons lately and couldn’t stop, I wish to have such complex thoughts as him, and this video was a great representation of his book. Thank you for this great content!
Only problem with Jordan Peterson is that now I’m watching all his videos on repeat.
"Don't stop the kids from skateboarding on the sidewalks" - perfect
First time watching... I'm truly amazed. God bless.

Probably one of the most powerful statements if not the most powerful.
My favorite video on TH-cam RN. Thanks to a real one Jordan Peterson and the ppl behind practical psychology.
I just found your channel (thanks to the algorithm lol) and i subbed.
Thanks for watching :)
I love this new animation style so much!!!!
I have 2 kids... there needs to absolutely be authority in their life, but ALSO a ton of grace for their silly antics... they are KIDS after all.
This is a nice video, but I guess what I'm trying to say to the people watching is, that it shouldn't be taken as a substitution for the book. For me at least, it's not just about the WHAT, but the WHY - the meaning behind the rules. I like JPs book because of the way he puts forward his arguments and gives examples, often from his personal life, that really give the reader a deeper understanding of these rules and where they're comming from - WHY he believes they're good to be followed. One thing I was missing though is also the HOW, because even when you more deeply understand the rules and why it is good to follow them, you still might have some challenge implementing them in your daily life. Still a great book!
Extremely helpful video.
A perfect quote from Nietzche @ 6:05: To live is to suffer; to survive is to find meaning in the suffering.
Well it's not about turning chaos into order. It is about walking the balance between the two.
It's about how to become a disgrace to everyone.
Thank you so much
I gained a lot today from this video
Hope u make more of this content soon 💖
The new animation style really adds value to your videos. Good investment!
This book gives people 12 unforgettable rules. It helps a lot!
I like more this kind of video format. I think it takes longer but looks more professional. It's nice to see that you try new things. Keep working, you're amazing!
12 Rules has been such a fun read so far! My favorite part is Rule 5, the part about the playground monster, and then, to the part with ornery child juxtaposed together came together really well. Jordan Peterson really painted the scene together well. I could immensely imagine the scene he was describing.
You know what else have 12 principles!
12 Principles of Animation.
Alcoholics Anonymous also has 12 principles...
Dude this video is great. Animation is very well done, your speech is clear and concise, and you deliver your information well (obviously taking on point ten there 😉).
Thoroughly enjoy your narration and the channel's content. Keep it up 💯.
Fantastic Theodore! This is a book I intend to start very soon, so loved the quick summary here
Also really enjoyed the animation style, really looks great
When you start reading the book read the "overture" and you'll see that this video is wrong from the first thing he says. Jordan never says to live in order or how to turn choas into order he says quite clearly that you must have a good balance or "walk the line between" order and chaos to have a good life.

The book is not as long as you might think lot of references at the end 😃
Yep, the video misrepresents a couple points quite badly, as pointed out by other comments.
Your videos are a bit too fast. I slowed it down through play back and as you say~ it introduced me to your thoughts in reasonably sized doses. Thanks. Good work. 👍👍
Good video!! I'm reading the book right now, and although you sumarized the main points here, which is good, I still recommend to read the book because it develops each point into an amazing depth that is simply astonishing
Thanks a lot for your summary and visualisation. Thumbs up

Great video and animation. I'm from Brazil and I have watched a video similar this in portuguese, however you described the rules with another perspective, well done! Thanks for sharing with us. Cheers
Great video! Love the new animation style and great book choice!!
Simple, but very effective rules for life.
Best video on this book I have ever watched keep making such videos
Act like a proton .. stay positive
Be positive always.
Even in case of HIV AIDS hahaha
@@likeandsubscribe-v5rLmaoo
@@likeandsubscribe-v5r 🤣🤣🤣
Thats like exact opposite of what Peterson says. What good there is from positivism if your life is complete mess. You have to act and do something with yourself, fulfill yourself, search for meaning not for positiveness.
Act like a proton... chase the negative
Jordan Peterson the GOAT. That man got so much wisdom about fear!
GoAT
Great animation, keep up with the good work and thanks for spreading the ideas of such a brilliant man such as Dr. Peterson
I have to say, this new style is really great. Shows much more proffesionalism
Damn you people misunderstood all book, its not just about happiness or positiveness. Its about meaning in life and living of fulfilling life. These rules are not some cliche 12 step program, its a way to deal with yourself. Its not meant to be feelgood book, its rules that literally should take you from chaos to order.
@Ares8 - Well said. I would add, it is not "Tell your truth" (as this video expressed). That is relativistic. It is "Tell the truth."
@@luzclara3855 that was the one part of the animation I had lots of trouble with. That relativist 'your truth' idea. ;(
He should review that
Stand Up straight with your shoulders back - In this topic, he is describing how to carefully set your boundaries and not to be a pushover, he is talking about the examples from the nature that exerts setting boundaries, stand up for yourself and facing natural competition. It's not talking about the posture, as I understand. Please look into this.
12 rules for life in two frames. just animate a lobster snapping its claws.
#6 is also that if you do not have the energy and focus to be perfect yourself. You can not blame your own failur on other. But it is not only that it is unfair in a sense, it is just not the solution to your problem. You are most likely to fix yourself.
You are yourself the method and the muschurement.
The bigest improvement in your life you can have is to improve yourself, it do not depend on others.
It is a typical counter argument towards activists. They are realy angry about others lack of perfection, but they are far from perfect them self. Actually the lack of having there life put togheter could be the very seed for there anger that they take out on others unperfection.
Do not go down that route, fix yourself first, then you might be able to fix your surandings to live hapier, and then extend on that...
"Choose your friends carefully." Haha, as if I had any choice in that matter, lol.
Of course you do
Thank you for this bro. I Really needed this.
I was going to subscribe but, it turns out I already am. Not that TH-cam would notify me or anything.
Nice video. 9/10 would subscribe again.
Jordan Peterson is a wonderful person, righteous, and full of humanity and responsibility. generation will remember him, even more than we do nowadays. the fact that world is more open now, free traveling, less poverty, free dating, probably no direct enslavement, and so... yet, we have other problems in many places in the globe, sexual crisis, gender crisis, over sens of guilt at high range in many academic zones, and so ... Jordan Peterson try to point these....to show us, what we should treat
