    Last year I attempted suicide. I was newly single and jobless. I was living out of my truck and extremely lonely. I couldn't even afford data on my phone to properly communicate with the outside world, or my mother in England (I live in NZ). One day, when I was sitting outside a café, using their free wifi, I saw a suggested video pop up of a "Jordan Peterson Owns..." I clicked on it. It was entertaining. That led me to watch other videos of his and soon I found out that he wasn't just someone who puts people in their place- but a loving, caring man with great wisdom and knowledge on how to fix the mess I called my life. I parked outside that same café every night for a couple of weeks and I've been obsessed with his teachings ever since. I know he hears this a lot; and for good reason, but this man has literally saved my life. I keep his book on me like a bible and I revisit old lectures all the time. I'm no longer suicidal. I'm not longer homeless.
    I have a room to clean.
    Thank you, Dr. Peterson.
    Edit:
    I'm completely blown away by all the lovely messages from people from all over the world. It gives me a great feeling of global unity, that we are all one, fighting the same battle. Endless love and respect to you all. I wish you nothing but happiness.
    An update to my life:
    I just got a puppy. I guess you could say I took rule 12 a little too seriously and instead of petting a cat (in this case a dog) I actually adopted one.
    Take care, love to you all.

      17 year old here: (I‘m assuming some things here and they may or may not be right, but I just want to make sure) Don‘t get too cocky about you being „special“ because a lot of other 17 year olds are wasting their time away with expedient goals. As Jordan Peterson said: Don‘t compare yourself with other people, especially with people that are doing worse than you. This can lead to a sense of illusionary accomplishment, which is not constructive in propelling you forward. If you want to compare yourself to someone (as a starting point or a personification of an ideal you strive towards), then make sure it‘s someone who has accomplished more than you. I fail at this often too and I think a healthy amount of acknowledging the fact that you may actually be in the small percent of soon-to-be successful people is OK, but don‘t let it go overboard and stop bettering yourself everyday.

    Dr Peterson mentions it from time to time but bears repeating. One reason so many people come out to listen to him is not because he's saying something 'new'. He's telling people things they already knew were true, but had never been properly articulated. He's reminding people of that which is fundamental to the human experience, that our societies have stopped teaching altogether.

      @@Kriegtime101 Such a simplistic accusation! First, Dr Peterson is not just restating any of the obvious or common sense. (He does go through extensive detail from bonafide research to extract conclusions; the titles of chapters in his book are by no means the complete thesis of his findings.). Second, he is not a strict conservative and much more of a classic liberal slightly left of political center, and he is furthermore not political in the first place; he is explicitly a diligent and practicing clinical psychologist and professor.

      Although I somewhat agree with his thought, if you are humble enough, you won't care what people have to say/think about your own words/opinions. You will seek to just listen and observe others. I understand this may come across as "passive" or "weak" in the perception of some, but it really is a strength. If you understand that it doesn't matter what others think of your advice, stories, or speech in general, then you can say what's on your mind 100x more than you normally do, and you can also become a much better listener. In my opinion, listening trumps speaking by a long shot. But once again, this may not apply to everyone and it may also be wrong in the sense of gaining respect and/or admiration.

      I am 21, I’ve found out about Peterson about a year and a half ago, everytime that i feel lost, even a bit, i’ll be watching his lectures and listening to his podcasts.
      Being from a North African country it’s quite hard to obtain his books. I got them downloaded on my PC still, but it has been a struggle to read PDF because it does much damage to my eyes, and i had failed to obtain the audio version as well. So i just stick to what I can listen to here on CZcams.
      But even that much has been life changing for me, I can’t even count the times that i’ve listened to something that he had said that felt so profound and real to me that I just found myself crying, feeling happy that i am understood, bit ashamed of all the « dead wood » that I wasted so much time not burning, but also encouraged to do just that. Listening to Peterson (or reading) gives you the best mixture of emotion that’s just right to make you feel capable to actually start working on yourself. And it’s such a hopeful idea that just by doing so you eventually make the world a better place. I don’t think i can ever express enough how grateful i am for the existence of this Man.

      Modern democracies, not greek ones with armies of slaves, directly depend on our potential to extract energy from other sources than other men. Slavery was basically abolished thanks to the fact that it wasn't profitable anymore, we didn't just wake up one day full of compassion and humanism.
      A lot more could be said on the matter. The conclusion would be : species and organizations that thrive maximize, by order of importance : extraction of energy, refining of energy, replication of theses last two functions, protection mechanisms of the group, protection of individual parts of the group (very optional at this point).
      Sustainability can be a consequence of a series of adjustment of the warfare for energy, but is is, has not, and will never be a preexisting condition for thriving.
      For a psychological point of view, we can visualize our needs and imagine rationally limits. This is some crazy advanced survival tactics, developed to save the group. But we are deeply cabled to break all boundaries otherwise. Peterson's work is only about maximizing individuals potential. We feel like we have to expand, procreate, handle responabilities...

      @@samuctrebla3221 Hi, thank you very much for your detailed answer, I see you have put a lot of thought into it, and so I have tried to consider your points as best as I could. I'm not sure I agree with your point on slavery: you said that it wasn't profitable anymore, but if that had been the case, then why wouldn't people have combined slavery with machines? Do you really think that in a society which relies on slavery, if someone invents machines, masters will suddenly be like "Oh, well we don't need little Timmy to dig holes in the ground anymore, we've got machines for that! Let's liberate little Timmy/kill little Timmy and his entire family!" The only goal of these masters would be to increase energy extraction: if they liberated their slaves, then there's less resources for them (because who would operate the machines? the only alternative to the slaves are the masters), but if they combine their slaves with machines, then they are better off. Someone has to operate machines after all, and if you make slaves do that, you won't have to pay them fair wages. If you need far less slaves, then you just decrease their number, but you don't get rid of them only to have them replaced by former masters who will demand fair wages. As for the other alternative already mentioned (i.e. killing them all off): that would not work for the reasons just mentioned: someone must always operate machines, plus where in history have you ever witnessed mass homicide of slaves after better ways of extracting energy were found?
      As for this point: "The conclusion would be : species and organizations that thrive maximize, by order of importance : extraction of energy, refining of energy, replication of theses last two functions, protection mechanisms of the group, protection of individual parts of the group (very optional at this point)."
      This would be true in a master-slave type of society, but in a modern one if you are exploiting your workers, you are usually punished. What about dictatorships? Yes, the individual most likely is worth nothing in those societies, and they try to maximize extraction of energy in order to spread their dominance in the entire world, but do they thrive? History seems to have proven that eventually, all dictatorships die.
      You said "Peterson's work is only about maximizing individuals potential." My impression of JP is that he tries to strengthen those individual values which bring about a better society. He sometimes talks about rights and responsibilities, and sees the following balance: your right is my responsibility, and the other way around. So he wants to live in a society where things are balanced, you have to do your duty towards me and so do I. The opposite would be one where only one of us would have to do their duty, and the other would have rights only. This would be a master-slave society. JP wants you to develop such qualities that would lead you to have a better life by living a meaningful one, and a meaningful life is one where you are of benefit to yourself and your fellow people.
      Let me know what you think, I like to exchange ideas with people who think differently from me. I mean, how else am I going to find out if I'm wrong? :) Someone has to break it to me, and I'm perfectly fine with being wrong, even though I try to be right (or to put it more precisely, I'm fine with being wrong BECAUSE I'm more interested in finding the truth instead of flattering myself with how "smart" I am for "figuring out" how a complex phenomenon actually works, i.e. deluding myself with my own grandiosity).

      @@manafro2714 Hello again, sorry for the late answer.
      1/ [Who operates the machines? Where are the slaves ?] Workers and qualified workers operate the modern perfect slave which is the machine. It's way more effective than feeding and forcing "imperfect" slaves (a.k.a. people) to do basic stupid tasks. I must insist on the fact that the average person, especially in developed countries literally has an invisible army of slaves. The power of your car is worth smtg 1000x the power of your legs, and everything around you takes a crazy amount of energy to produce or to run. And then you need the human cognitive capacity to put all these things (resources and energy) together and operate the system, which by the way is the work we monetize. We did not kill the slaves at all, they aren't just human anymore, for the best.
      2/[exploiting the workers is punished] This is wrong to me. We always exploit workers since we only pay men. Nature, our evolutionary complexity, all living species, all natural ressources, are free by definition (Smtih, Riccardo, Say, Marx,...you choose), and the only things we value are what is available only by working. Despite that this principle is now our greatest threat beacause we rely on external sources of physical work, we only pay in men's work, either by salary or unearned income. Even when you buy machines, you eventually pay the successive workers and investors that were involved in the process. The ratio of unearned income to the salary is the toughness of the exploit (which is very fair in a lot of structures).
      3/ [Dictatorships always fail, in response to my suggestion of extraordinary democracy]. You certainly speak out of few precise examples, but I cannot see how this can be legitimately true. It's pretty much the opposite. Feudalism was very stable for thousands of years throughout the entire world, either in autocraty or oligarchy. Equal rights and universal right to vote is the most recent political thing. I'm assuming you're American (and your country is a great example of extraordinary democracy and struggle for human rights), but to put things in perspective, the universal right to vote was achieved only in 1920 (women could vote), and in France in 1944. 3 to 4 generations. We could discuss many examples.
      4/ [JP proposes to balance rights and duties] Yes, because on an individual basis it literraly makes a lot of sense. I like his thinking. It surely helps a lot of people, and I discovered many things about myself. But in the end, I would sum this up as "what is good for you is good for society" (stay away from chaos and resentement). It is a wish, it's not systematically effective. I wish his vision of balance could embrace the fact that we always need to exploit something or someone, and therefore preserve it. But maybe he said something about that ...

    • Affective neuroscience - Yak Pengsak (rats laugh).
    • Lobsters and serotonin (status, emotional regulation & posture).
    • Competence (intelligence and confronting fears with courage) define hierarchies.
    • Confidence gives you the benefit of the doubt, for better emotional regulation + being taken seriously.
    *Treat Yourself Like You’re Someone You’re Caring For*

    • How would you like your child to be treated?
    • People are fragile, prone to temptation and imperfect, which often gets worse, and capable of malevolence - this is why we don’t like ourselves.
    • Love the sinner but hate the sin!
    • Taking care of yourself is a moral obligation to humanity, you have a light to bring into the world!
    *Make Friends With People Who Want The Best For You*
    • People that aim down while you aim up are toxic (this can be part of you too).
    • You have an ethical responsibility to surround yourself with the best people that support your needs.
    • Be careful about who you share good/bad news with (jealousy and habit perpetuation).
    • Bad people don’t think life isn’t worth it, they demonstrate to themselves there is no necessity to strive forward by putting you down.

    • Consider this in terms of opportunity.
    • There is always going to be someone around who is better than you.
    • Jung thought the Book of Revelation was a pendant to the Bible, because the Christ in Gospels was too merciful. An ideal is always a judge. Revelation has Christ coming back as a judge.
    • You need an ideal because you have nothing to aim at, but an ideal is a judge and you will always fall short of the ideal.
    • Set a high aim, then break the goal down into parts that are challenging enough to push yourself past where you are, but not crushingly distant (reasonable probability of success).
    • At 30, the idiosyncrasies of your life make comparison futile as accomplishments are tailored by factors.
    • Make today some tiny increment better than yesterday.
    • Goals need to be laid out to justify life’s suffering.

    • Carl Jung: The shadow (dark side of humanity) has roots reaching all the way to hell.
    • Literal & metaphysical application - the very worst and then more proximal kinds of hell.
    • If you understand your dark side, you will see in yourself a reflection of the darkest potential. People don’t want to see this so they don’t, but this confrontation is an inevitable barrier to enlightenment.
    • Joseph Campbell: “Follow your bliss”
    • Jung: “Pursue what’s meaningful and you’ll encounter that which you least want to encounter”.
    • God of Horus (Egypt) was a God, but lost an eye in the battle when encountering evil. The Egyptian eye is that lost to Seth, the precursor to Satan.

    I saw this video 9 months ago and internalized my poor posture.I made it a point to walk into a bar as upright as one could be.I immediately saw females look at me and so did a few men.I have made it a point to be as tall and straight as possible.The results have been tremendous.
    As I write this I started crying.I am 58 yrs old and feel a big sense of loss of what my life could have been if my body demonstrated my inner confidence I developed despite my upbringing.

      Crazy how Jordan Peterson has a lot of impact. Not only his book is a financial success but also in term of psychological impact.
      Some people who sell successfully their book just earn a lot of money get some media coverage and them disappears cause it was there only great thing.
      For Jordan it’s more serious than most people he literally had an positive impact to many people just by communicating from CZcams and books, when he is bad health, everybody worried years later everybody remember him.
      His book is not just a financial success, a fun story that may be adapted in a movie. His book has also a psychological impact that makes lives of some people better without having to meet him in person.
      To understand a psychologist we have to listen to him and what he says rationally can’t believe some people try to politicise him and his ideas just to make a confrontation.(they don’t like the way he impact people positive way)
      He is mostly helping people in the need.

    Hah, I see my comment still, one year ago. Here I am watching the whole thing again. This is absolutely one of my favorite lectures from Jordan. I still haven't bought the book, but I will, soon.
    About two years ago my mom passed away,. And as many people know is that it's a very difficult time, she was only 56 years old. I got very bad anxiety and panic attacks from all the stress and emotions thinking of "What is the meaning of life" or "I have lost my mom, the person in this whole world that regardless of what I do in life, she will always love me. What am I even supposed to do now?" types of questions, I also started to question if it even really was panic attacks, maybe my heart is just failing me, scared as you can be.
    However, about one and a half years ago I decided that I wanted to become something, I don't want to work at a place to do something for the rest of my life that I dislike. But before I could apply for a course (in IT) I needed to study up a few subjects in order to qualify, or have enough points to even make it to the list of applicants. I did that for six months, really working my hardest, and for my panic attacks and anxiety I started running and now also taking cold showers for the bast 2-3 months, it has helped a lot with that.
    After those six months I applied to the course, there was about 200 or something applicants, they only had 35 spots open, so I had to do a test that involved questions about the subjects that the course taught you. So I spent about one month or so just preparing for that test, writing down everything I could find online about it on a paper. I recorded myself all 20-30 pages on my phone and every time I went out on a walk, which I did almost every day walking 10 miles and just listening on my probably 2-3 hour recordings, and also when I worked, when I could.
    I did the test and I patiently waited to see if I got in or not, 2-3 weeks of nothing and let me tell you the anxiety I had my just waiting, what if I don't get in? My future, or the live I want to live would be set back hugely, I couldn't imagine having to work with what I was working for another year. If I don't get in this time, will I even get in next year? My motivation is now. Then the email came, I got in, I got super happy and felt such a big burden lift off my shoulders.
    Here I am now been studying to become a "Cloud and IT- Infrastructure Engineer", I have about a little more than a year left and so far I have aced everything on the course and I am so proud of myself.
    I cried writing the part about my mom, but there is a difference between my crying when she passed and crying now. I still cry thinking about my mother sometimes, but the difference between then and now is that now I know that I am okay and I will be okay. I love Jordan Peterson and he has so many great advice.
    So whatever you are going through, just know that it will be okay, you will be okay. Work on yourself.

Speaking so that every person listening would be able to comprehend no matter their background, education, age or experience.

Therefore, I’m planning to quit nursing to pursue youtube full time as there are lots of issues in our traditional health systems as these don’t align with my values. It’s a huge learning curve but I love helping people through making videos. Also, as part of my video creation progress, I’m switching to a better editing software and a camera so the learning curve is much higher and slows down the completion speed of my next video.

He is truly giving of himself, and has awakened so many people who were comatose from the lies we have been fed by our supposed educators and authority figures. They are all, without exception, flawed and have feet of clay. The ones who want to destroy (sjws, revolutionaries et al) are not helping the problem, but opening the doors to hell.
      Now he has shown us how to start improving our world, by making our own self better.
      That awakens our hope, and releases our love - directed at him. But don't even think of making him your idol. He is a man like us, and a great one. If you make him your god you destroy both yourself and your relationship with him. God bless him and you, with all of us.

      I don’t agree with that. You can resent the shitty upbringing you had and how you were treated, and not want to continue to see that in the world.

      We’re seeing a perfect example of this with the current woke epidemic that’s slowly ruining/infecting society.

      I don't know. I can't imagine the impact of that idea, along with his paean to humility, if they were to be applied by conservatives to American politics presently. Unthinkable. It is a race between embittered resentment or all-knowing pride being the more honored. Quite like the far Left.

    Wish Dr Peterson had been around when I was 16-19 years old.

    I have been watching a lot of his talks over the last 2 weeks and I'm glad I have found him. It overjoys me to find other people who have the same thinking pattern as I do. I would love to meet him one day.
