I just have this sense that Jordan Peterson is softly, but firmly, swooping into the lives of a lot of young people in this country and becoming the father's voice/wisdom they never had. God bless him.
You absolutely are right. And i can speak for myself in saying this. He has given me personally, through his lectures, interviews, discussions and recorded classes, a good amount of information, useful philosophies and insights. He has enhanced my psycho analytical tool kit as well as aided me in achieving a fuller and slightly altered perspective. Helping me to understand that, although suffering is an unavoidable part of life, it is possible to reach some form of a reconciliation with that fact. I am not there yet. He has helped me, however im not the glowing wonderful all happy all wise being that i would like to be. I make mistakes and do and say things i regret, i have thoughts im ashamed of. But i do none the less, very much appreciate Jordan doing the things he does and sharing his thoughts and wisdom, they are illuminating, helpful and useful.
It's not just in your country. His voice is heard across the world. People, after listening to him just want to hear more and know more. He has this ability to make people listen that is beyond what i have ever seen. And he talks about subjects that i didnt people can help me in, because most others that speak on them are just con artists and "coaches" .. whatever that means
He's a very profound fatherly voice of wisdom to me, and I'm 52 years old. The best thing about his lectures is that he can be brutally honest, but he always ends up delivering an encouraging message. He's a modern day Socrates.
I remember when I took writing lessons after high-school with a university professor and he said to us "they don't teach you anything about actually writing something in high-school" and then he did. He actually managed to take 17-19 year-olds from way different backgrounds and teach them how to approach writing a story, a description, anything really. And he did it, he actually got us writing stuff and got some pretty amazing texts from each of us. Having good mentors in your life can mean the world.
1:28 i have an amphetamine addiction i just flushed all i had like 3 hours ago. Making the decision on that exact logic that i needed to stop before i would it the bottom.
been shedding dead wood for over 2 years now. It's a process that I don't think should ever end and I work on this just about every moment. The progress is incredible and it snowballs really quick. What seems like a overwhelming task, depending on your current state, just happens when you simple pay attention and listen to yourself. It really is incredible.
How exactly do you do this. I get it conceptually, but how do you actually let go of these things? I still self sabotage, and stopping myself is always a losing battle rather than a burning off of useless behaviours
Ok, advise me. I don’t feel limited by my fears, but by the outside world. Feminism says we should get rid of male managers. Maybe unless they work so much that they are really, really worth. So I’m single business. I should go back to companies but I can’t. It’s a fear, but it’s reality too: women are hateful and vengeful in companies. It’s the desired, explicit policy. Should I try to get hired again in BigCo and be unwanted again ? Same goes for marriage. Girls are assholes nowadays, no way I want to hear that I’m causing « mental charge » for the next 40 years of my life. How would one demonstrate that it’s only a fear caused by a trauma and that it has no reality, when clearly, in case I’m beaten, police won’t help me and statically in 16% chances, they’ll arrest... me instead of the girls... I mean they’ve explicitly designed society to be shitty for men, it’s not just my imagination.
I see what you mean, it has happened for me, sometimes i still forget but quick i see the illusion through it. I just imagine it as 'me looking' and everything automaticallt goes. I see what jung mean with shadow, you just pay attention to it and it immediately is gone. Nothing is there hahaha
"It's pretty easy to feel intimidated in the face of your own ideal." Very true! Some of us are >95% dead wood, and it can be pretty terrifying to be honest with ourselves.
Yer so so true but attack from the easy if it makes it easy 4 you..rake and burn some leaves n twigs on the periphery of you stand back n see how much better it looks and makes you feel continue from this approach pretty soon you will fully understand and desire to continue on this path and as you get further into the pile you will feel strength in you achieve.. eventually to the poit of looking for the devil to rip to shreds.. or at least find your place on this path..
My deadwood is my morning laziness and lack of routine and discipline. If I don’t burn this off myself, it will burn me and everything and everyone around me.
I am an 85 year old Canadian and can’t believe the number of people I have spoken to who have never heard of JBP. I am trying to spread the word, don’t think I am getting anywhere. Their unbelievable loss. I must say there is not much on our National News about him, maybe because I live in Quebec and I only became aware of him 2 weeks ago. He speaks the truth about our times. God bless him.
For the past few months, I hate to wonder where I'd be without Jordan Peterson's youtube videos. Funny how I thought turning 30 wouldn't change anything, yet everything is changing
Every year, every day will change you because things happen. Everyday you understand something more and the steam goes away so your views change, get sharper, sophisticated...
His teachings weren’t publicly available many years ago, so nobody could have discovered him until the past few years. You got here as soon as you could. Congratulations! I know the feeling.
Jordan Peterson is, as far as I can see, a brilliant, honest humble man and that very honesty and humility is a strength that most of us can only aspire to. I've read his book and listened to his words and that, in my own humble opinion, is why he's, "One of the most influential thinkers of our time," because there's more benefit in his words for us than for him and in todays society that is a rare phenomenon. He is a man who questions himself before he questions the world and for that reason has my undying respect and also rare in todays world, he is a speaker who has my trust.
That is a fair point. On the other hand, who is going to give a lecture, you know, go to work and happens to read about Socrates? That tells you something man.... I love this guy and just today bought His book 12 rules to life. I want to be a better version of me, I really do because that would be hell of agood thing not only to me but also everyone i care about around me.
He is not perfect as someone says too, he said once in one interview that after the diet he started and make him lose 22 pounds in 7 months he wasnt taking the pills to depression anymore.
I've been watching Jordan Peterson extensively for months now. And his words have induced revelation. My entire outlook and attitude has changed for the better, and it's thanks to this man.
"The process of recapitulating yourself continually is a phoenix like process - you are shedding all those elements of you that are no longer worthy of the pursuits that you're valuing. As you do this, you are shaping yourself evermore precisely into something that can withstand the tragedy of life and can act as a beacon to the world - first to your friends then to your family."
Nikhil VJ Canada has many more future Nobel Prize: KAREN STRAUGHAN, Diana Davison, Stefan Molyneux, Janice Fiamengo and two others. Something HUGE is going on in Canada, I don’t know what. Proximity with US, but not entirely vacant to feminism? If they don’t receive one, it discredits the Nobel Prize.
Leandro Bolivar Alfonzo I like joking about him and also mention his talent. Since he did Love Yourself, you have to admit that he has some truths to say to youngsters, and he succeeded at formulating a sentence that all other MSM people would have been fired for: « Don’t stick your dick in crazy » (...crazy girl). As long as advice is good, it justifies the medium. Plus you gotta admit he made 200m€ and was supercute.
Those two last minutes were pure genious. That's the purpose of life actually -if there is one. If you can touch as many people as you can in a positive way, through your living, starting from the ones you have around you, that's a successful life on this planet.
thanks man for those bit-sized life lessons and of course thanks for publishing the source.. really thanks man.. My life has been in stagnation even though i'm a doctor.. but hated life because it was full of suffering then i hated myself for not moving towards my future .. but thanks to my dad and dr Jordan
Brilliant man. He helps millions of people with all his knowledge, a true purpose and example for living your life: get stronger and help others. Major respect JBP you’re doing gods work!
The brilliant talent of this man is to articulate his ideas so well so that people truly understand what they already subconsciously know. Such an important person at the moment! Love him.
In just one month, I’ve made an abundant shift in my life that has truly transformed me. From letting go of toxic relationships to focusing on my own growth and well-being, I’ve found clarity, peace, and a renewed sense of purpose. I’m prioritizing self-love, embracing positive energy, and setting clear boundaries. The changes I’ve made may seem small, but they’ve had a profound impact on how I view myself and the world around me. This journey of growth is just beginning, and I’m excited to continue evolving into the best version of myself.
Imagine being in the same room as Jordan Peterson, and having him taking the time to teach you how to improve your writing, and rejecting it. She was so lucky.
At 51, this man has helped me provide a framework. I know for the first time I can deal with issues that I’ve needed to deal with for all of these years. Thank you Dr Peterson.
He really connects to the intellect and finds ways to bring the good out people. Through his lectures he teaches us things we should avoid and things we should be aware of. I feel as if I’m avoiding my conscious for the fear of becoming better. I’m trying to heal past trauma that lead to overthinking but things I couldn’t control. I now find myself in a state of confusion. As if I lost my inner voice. How do I get back my conscious and realign myself back on my path towards my destiny. Reevaluating my past and putting the good in perspective to sprout a new life.
I don't know what the youtube algorithmen is doing but it's like it knew what I was thinking about 5 minutes before I opened the app this talk will help me to sleep tonight and rethink my ambitions that I set way too high for the past months.
With 78 days until I turn 22 the biggest thing I’ve learnt from life is that it’s okay to start today , don’t worry about what happened yesterday. We all have our baggage , different situations and life experiences which have brought us to where we are today and that’s okay . What you do right now however is what counts , how you decide to react to the potential in today is what will determine tomorrow. Good luck to everyone striving to improve themselves ❤️
I like the idea he has that we all have potentialities in us. We have different skills or gifts, some of which may be dormant. We should focus on releasing our gifts, and not our problems.
The Japanese band Angel Note had this "End of the Dream" song: "(...) to end my stumbling in the pitch black darkness - the end of my dream will lit up my road" Don't be afraid to switch gears and revise your priorities!
I wonder if I should do a paper in which I write all the things I sacrifice. Just as a kind of overview for my brain. Things I already sacrificed: Porn, Video games, excessive masturbation, bad diet, lazy lifestyle, avoiding social situations.
I get not playing games or not watching porn if it gets in the way of your life but these things can be enjoyable in a stable and helpful way. If I didn't have games I'd probably be killing time in worse ways and if I didn't have porn I'd have to rely on strangers for sexual gratification. Not knocking your sacrifice but I see it become more common that people think sacrifice of things they enjoy is a good idea simply because they think it distracts them from some greater good or unknown truth and then upon pursuing that greater good or getting that nugget of truth people forget why they lived in the first place and what they enjoyed about the life they wanted to improve.
I was massivly addicted nearly spend 3 years just playing games. And there is no going back until a few years since for me its a addiction that is hiding in the shadow probably for a long time. Of course its a great thing in moderation.
I understand but just remember that pleasure is just as important to have as pain in life. I gave this stuff up for a bit and suffered terribly and even after I got back to it I just felt guilty about "wasting time" which in reality didn't matter. I indulge pretty often but manage to keep a decent life together if only because I'm not stressed all the time trying to be "normal" and "upright". Those things are what you make them and not at all a universal standard. The greater good is more or less the meaning you pursue and not something sold to you by someone else. That said do as you want but I'm just offering a warning having been down that road before.
I tried to do it in moderation but its not possible. I think i tried it for nearly 3 years to moderate it always with the same result. Like when I first had fallout 4 in my hands I said to myself "lets play it at the end of the day after having done good stuff." It ended with me playing nearly 12 hours a day for a month until the game was beaten. It's just not worth fighting it. Cutting the thing out is way easier. I'm now getting happyness from working out, going for a swim, for a walk, watching game of thrones and I'm pretty happy.
Your "intimate masterminds" with a coach idea is brilliant. It really is. Group support is a very powerful in helping us change. You've outlined a model that people could replicate everywhere - look what a powerful effect for good that would be! To inspire people to develop local groups for study-and-change, using knowledge and philosophy like the incredible wisdom we get from Dr. Peterson. Really, I hope you pursue this! You could make a big difference in many people's lives, along with your own.
I'm really enjoying the dedication and discipline of exploring psychological backwaters and bringing them to awareness - which makes them accessible as resources. It's like a vocabulary of software for engagement: all behavior and thus all man-made reality emerges out of the mental/emotional shapes we construct and invest energy in. The more tools we have, the more options we have to build with - Jordan creates hard-wood raw materials of the mind that can be used to construct and destruct lives. It's fun to watch and brings a smile to my face on Christmas morning.
I'm striving to be divine ie connected to people, intelligent, meek, dangerous, compassionate, joyful, bold and humble. I'll continue by working every day, being sober, and reading every night bc I know deep down this is what the world needs
To the Good Doc,Thank you,so very much for your knowledge ,and wisdom.Ive been fighting myself and ,all those trying to make me SEE,what I've been doing.God Bless I've been Soooooo stubborn,shoot I've been a BRAT!! Your a good man,and a wonderful Doctor, i wish there were more like you, in your field.Well thank God your are a professor of your field,hopefully your students will at the least, emulate some of your knowledge, in there own practices. Thank you again sir ,God bless you and your family.
I am 43 years old , and have always ( in my adult life) though the way he does. I, of coarse, have never had his brilliance in articulation, or his education. I do truly appreciate the way he reinforces my beliefs, and helps me to maintain my fortitude. He is what many would call a prophet, and I am one of them !
cognitive bias is getting worse because of the internet imo. The way people learn nowadays is insane. Everyone thinks they are correct or righteous. Peterson should give a lecture about people being stupid and not in tune with reality.
I know of 4 or more distinct versions of my ideal self, and what bad habits I have to shed to become perhaps one of them, but I'm addicted to the simple joys of those habits, and I have spent my entire life battling with by lack of follow-through to the point of not even bothering anymore. Damn. But I've built a pretty good life for myself and my family at least.
Reminds me of CS Lewis' "Great Divorce", and the character plagued by licentious drives embodied in the dragon on his shoulder, how he's being coached to let it go.
I’ve never seen a man in my life promote self improvement without any selfish agenda, that is purely trying to make people better and genuinely cares about those people, not many people like that exist, we are so lucky to have this one ☝️
I’ve been trying to get my act together for a couple of weeks now and last night I had a dream where I was thrown into a black hole and almost all of me but a little was destroyed. All but the voice in my head was destroyed, it felt like a sense of my voice too (there was no dialogue in my dream). I immediately thought of this talk. I think I’m headed in the right direction.
I just have this sense that Jordan Peterson is softly, but firmly, swooping into the lives of a lot of young people in this country and becoming the father's voice/wisdom they never had. God bless him.
40oz Hemlock: you’re very correct in your statement. I think his influence is broader and is swooping in helping a ppl grow.
You absolutely are right. And i can speak for myself in saying this. He has given me personally, through his lectures, interviews, discussions and recorded classes, a good amount of information, useful philosophies and insights. He has enhanced my psycho analytical tool kit as well as aided me in achieving a fuller and slightly altered perspective.

Just in case anyone here can understand Japanese and/or is curious here's a link

His videos are following me! I actually liked this one. So timely!
I wonder if I should do a paper in which I write all the things I sacrifice. Just as a kind of overview for my brain. Things I already sacrificed: Porn, Video games, excessive masturbation, bad diet, lazy lifestyle, avoiding social situations.
I get not playing games or not watching porn if it gets in the way of your life but these things can be enjoyable in a stable and helpful way. If I didn't have games I'd probably be killing time in worse ways and if I didn't have porn I'd have to rely on strangers for sexual gratification. Not knocking your sacrifice but I see it become more common that people think sacrifice of things they enjoy is a good idea simply because they think it distracts them from some greater good or unknown truth and then upon pursuing that greater good or getting that nugget of truth people forget why they lived in the first place and what they enjoyed about the life they wanted to improve.
I was massivly addicted nearly spend 3 years just playing games. And there is no going back until a few years since for me its a addiction that is hiding in the shadow probably for a long time. Of course its a great thing in moderation.
I understand but just remember that pleasure is just as important to have as pain in life. I gave this stuff up for a bit and suffered terribly and even after I got back to it I just felt guilty about "wasting time" which in reality didn't matter. I indulge pretty often but manage to keep a decent life together if only because I'm not stressed all the time trying to be "normal" and "upright". Those things are what you make them and not at all a universal standard. The greater good is more or less the meaning you pursue and not something sold to you by someone else. That said do as you want but I'm just offering a warning having been down that road before.
I tried to do it in moderation but its not possible. I think i tried it for nearly 3 years to moderate it always with the same result. Like when I first had fallout 4 in my hands I said to myself "lets play it at the end of the day after having done good stuff." It ended with me playing nearly 12 hours a day for a month until the game was beaten. It's just not worth fighting it. Cutting the thing out is way easier. I'm now getting happyness from working out, going for a swim, for a walk, watching game of thrones and I'm pretty happy.
What constitutes excessive masturbation?
how weird it may be, I usually watch at least 2 lectures of Sir Jordan Peterson in order to warm up my brain. Im in the Engineering field btw
mathxnoob spead the word. i have great respect for the work of engineers, but its culture is often not it's own friend. Good for you
@@h20-p6g "Culture is often not it's own friend"
What engineers have you been hanging out with to make you say that?
This guy always has something unique to say. On each topic or issue he addresses you won't find a predictable or generic explanation.
"....I could feel my hands creep towards her neck...." LMAO 😂🤣😂🤣😍
Your "intimate masterminds" with a coach idea is brilliant. It really is. Group support is a very powerful in helping us change. You've outlined a model that people could replicate everywhere - look what a powerful effect for good that would be! To inspire people to develop local groups for study-and-change, using knowledge and philosophy like the incredible wisdom we get from Dr. Peterson. Really, I hope you pursue this! You could make a big difference in many people's lives, along with your own.
I'm really enjoying the dedication and discipline of exploring psychological backwaters and bringing them to awareness - which makes them accessible as resources. It's like a vocabulary of software for engagement: all behavior and thus all man-made reality emerges out of the mental/emotional shapes we construct and invest energy in. The more tools we have, the more options we have to build with - Jordan creates hard-wood raw materials of the mind that can be used to construct and destruct lives. It's fun to watch and brings a smile to my face on Christmas morning.
I'm striving to be divine ie connected to people, intelligent, meek, dangerous, compassionate, joyful, bold and humble. I'll continue by working every day, being sober, and reading every night bc I know deep down this is what the world needs
I love Dr. Peterson so much. Putting it into words isn't fair. Thank you, sir.
jordan is my nigga
DimensionZombie well he's my bucko
Mr Peterson is a 'mensch' which trumps them all ;)
Another excellent lesson from Peterson.
thank you
Man... Wow. Confronting our death is really the master key to life.
To the Good Doc,Thank you,so very much for your knowledge ,and wisdom.Ive been fighting myself and ,all those trying to make me SEE,what I've been doing.God Bless I've been Soooooo stubborn,shoot I've been a BRAT!! Your a good man,and a wonderful Doctor, i wish there were more like you, in your field.Well thank God your are a professor of your field,hopefully your students will at the least, emulate some of your knowledge, in there own practices. Thank you again sir ,God bless you and your family.
It's raw and real. This gives me strength.
"Do the things are meaningful not expedient" - Jordan Peterson
7:58 - 10:25 one of the greatest pieces of information that I've always been aware of but have never truly acknowledged. Thank you Jordan Peterson!
Dr Peterson has career in stand up if he ever wanted it.
I am 43 years old , and have always ( in my adult life) though the way he does. I, of coarse, have never had his brilliance in articulation, or his education. I do truly appreciate the way he reinforces my beliefs, and helps me to maintain my fortitude. He is what many would call a prophet, and I am one of them !
thankyou. thankyou so much for sharing this. how these words shook me to my very core.
I love this man. JP for King of the Earth
Dave Buikema lol
Little bit strange bro
Dr. Jordan - you rock! Thank you..
Awesome ideas as always !
Siempre
cognitive bias is getting worse because of the internet imo. The way people learn nowadays is insane. Everyone thinks they are correct or righteous. Peterson should give a lecture about people being stupid and not in tune with reality.
1:30 this simple line just changed my life, thank you Dr. Peterson
This is why i love jordan peterson.
Jordan Peterson is a Beacon of Light!
Without sacrifice there is no victory.

@Nicht von dieser Welt awww muffin point on the doll where Jordin hurt you.
Thank you Jordan.
"We believe that Thou shalt come to be our judge; we therefore pray Thee, help Thy servants whom Thou hast redeemed with Thy precious blood."
In fact, that's what God says to Cain - don't be so hard on yourself and keep trying.
@Bart Brannigan Genesis 4:5-7
Forest planning student here. It's funny to here Jordan speak about stuff I learned in class a few months ago.
I know of 4 or more distinct versions of my ideal self, and what bad habits I have to shed to become perhaps one of them, but I'm addicted to the simple joys of those habits, and I have spent my entire life battling with by lack of follow-through to the point of not even bothering anymore.
Damn.
But I've built a pretty good life for myself and my family at least.
Speechless
So so good.
I find this interesting, I feel people are gaslighting me in my life for some reason and idk why.
It’s because they think we’re weird.
That was a great video. One of JP's best.
Reminds me of CS Lewis' "Great Divorce", and the character plagued by licentious drives embodied in the dragon on his shoulder, how he's being coached to let it go.
This guy knows his shit.
I’ve never seen a man in my life promote self improvement without any selfish agenda, that is purely trying to make people better and genuinely cares about those people, not many people like that exist, we are so lucky to have this one ☝️
I’ve been trying to get my act together for a couple of weeks now and last night I had a dream where I was thrown into a black hole and almost all of me but a little was destroyed. All but the voice in my head was destroyed, it felt like a sense of my voice too (there was no dialogue in my dream). I immediately thought of this talk. I think I’m headed in the right direction.
Here from Denmark .
Thank you mr Peterson
Love it when he makes it like is a comedy.
This channel grows fast
envy ?
It has Jordan Peterson vidoes..
@@limitless1692 right...
@@youwhatmadeidk bingo
yes. we attach ourselves to things we think give us value, out of fear of being unimportant, but theyre not really ''personality'' traits
words of wisdom
One of the greatest and most beneficial talks
Damn, JP always surprises me. Love the fact of knowing about him
Wish I found this when it was posted rather than finding it now.
I feel like I am that student in social situations. I think I am being mysterious and charismatic when In reality i’m just shy, awkward and weird
Some aims are universal truths and yet few people manage to pursue them.
5:56 Socrates voice in his head that he always listened to that made him different from other people. It always told him what not to do.
I'm going to keep watching this video until I finally absorb it in my actions.
