- Everyone talks about their potential, and the potential of other people? But what is potential? It does not yet exist, but people act and talk as if it were real. This talk servers as a good short (20 min) introduction to Dr. Peterson's ideas.

I’m 75 years old I feel like his lessons have come so late for me now that I’m an old man. These lessons would benefit all ages regardless.
Kudos for learning how to work CZcams!
Imagine not learning it at all, at any age. I get so many ah-ha moments from JP, and I think ah-ha moments are valuable whatever your ability to act upon them. May God bless you and give you at very least 20 years to act upon JP's teachings. His teachings make me feel guilty for every hour I waste.
never forget age is just a number!!
@@Aleeeks101 lol so patronising
@@RahulSrivastav844 I was being sincere.
Jordan Peterson is what a university professor is supposed to be.
SirMalker+ A teacher teaches you what you need to learn. A professor should be getting people to actually think. JBP is the latter.
Absolutely.
Ironic how people like him get the shaft from universities all over the US. Mainstream academia is working hard to alienate it's best and brightest and will end up consuming it's own rotten ego while the best and brightest of the country move on to bigger and better things.
It's nice to sit back and watch the implosion.
sureseam
He’s a fraud - “Oh, helping people is one of the best things you can do. Also please buy all my books and all my self help tools”
@@colin-campbell and that doesn't count as helping ?
This how I prefer to see this beautiful human being, in good health and feeding us his infinite wisdom. Get well soon Doctor!
What happened to him?
@@marceloadrianmendodelacruz5451 search "J.P. daughter" in YT
I feel that he prefers the gaps in his personal wisdom. There is more opportunity in what we don't know?
If anyone was ever truly prepared to die,it was this man..
He is all good now 👍
Listening to these videos has given me, at 81 years, the hunger for an education that was denied to me as a young person. I want to do the Self Authourising cours.
janice, i feel exactly the same. finding dr. peterson describes his word picture of the light shining through the hole in the map. I'm 62 and sometimes mourn for all the wasted years. but it is a process, as explained, of narrowing attention until we find ourselves at the beginning and only then start to understand. i encourage you to do the Self Authouring course.
Yes.
More power to you! Good luck!
Total respect for you, man.
It is never too late!!! And 81 is young!! Good luck!
I am a combat vet that served in Vietnam. I have never in all of my years heard such a fine piece of explanation of the meaning for a life worth living.
This man speaks, this man speaks words that resonate, this man speaks, this man speaks transparently.....there in lies truth. 🧠
Live and let live ,we are the enemy not our fellow man
I came here to listen to this Free Speech Hero.
Me too
me too
me too!
mee too
Thou Art That ... me three
"Follow what you're interested in. It'll take you to adversity and then through it. It'll transform you from a citizen into an individual and then the doors will open again. And at that point, you're strong enough to have your life. And at that point you're strong enough not to fall for pathological belief systems and work towards the destruction of things."
Enough said!
Chris R loved this too.
And THATS THAT!
How else could it be?
Amen
i just didnt understand the last part..why would you work towards the destruction of things?
Finally a Tedx talk that doesn't sound like every other Tedx talk.
I can only imagine how much time he spent formulating that 20 min. He fit as much as possible into that timeframe.... No babbling, no lofty speech, just a meaningful thought articulated precisely.
I've spent the last ten years following my interests in psychology, philosophy, and the nature of reality and no one I've come across brings together the greatest thinkers of all time in such a concise and purposeful way as Dr. Peterson does. At the same time he calls out the status quo of materialist thought that dominates modern thought and is bringing the subjective aspect of life, it's underlying meaning and purpose in the spirit of Jung back in to the light in a profound and, I think, spiritual way in the truest sense of the phrase. No dogma, no illusions other than recognizing how they operate in our thinking, this is what we know about how things work, and this is what it means to your experience in life. It actually gives me hope for the future that people are being taught this material, it's truly brilliant!
I've watched his lectures multiple times over the last month or so, and I've come to consider him to be probably the most important thinker alive today, and I don't say that lightly. If it's true, as I've come to understand, that the outer world is ultimately a reflection of the state of the inner world, then this is the 'stuff' that's needed to address the insanity we see in the world today!
Thank you Dr. Peterson!!
That's funny, after watching several of his lectures challenging pronouns, that same thought sprung to my head, "could this be the most important thinker in Canada today? How come no other person (to my knowledge) has significantly challenged this subject or been able to articulate an argument for opposing it. Is it possible Peterson is the only person with the intellectual capacity to do so? For everyone else besides Peterson, it's like trying to define art, I can't define it, but I know it when I see it! Okay...that's not really useful in an argument. And that's everyone else.
i agree. you've expressed my views on him better than i could have said myself.
Only in Canada? Petersen may be the most important public intellectual of our time. Score one for Canada, for having produced this soul, score one for the world ... if it can listen
Very well put. I get invigorated listening to the truth and Dr. Peterson lays it on relentlessly.
Bob Odda dont say this to sam harris
now this is a real talk, most of the other talks are just people saying "you can do whatever you want" with some catchy sentences, but this....every word is gold
I've heard it said about Walt Disney, that he insisted that every scene in his films either advance the plot, or develop a character. If not, no matter how beautiful or expensive the scene was, it was out.
This is what I get out of Peterson's lectures: every word is there for a reason, and either advances the proof of his point, or has the potential to develop the listener's character.
A word spoken at the right time is gold.
Or the other ones like "why is there a link between hornets and your alarm clock? Why is that interesting? Well for the next 20min..." 🥱
There is more in one minute of this TED talk then there is in 20min in the average talk.
I needed to pause and deconstruct as JP made his point to truly understand what he is saying. Damn this guy is good.
Peterson doesn't really fit in with the TED format. The whole idea of the short time limit on TED talks, is that if your idea is truly worthy of being spread, it can be expressed briefly. But with Peterson, I always want to hear more.
Lol I'm always like, "I gotta take notes!"
He looks like he's aged 15 years in the past 4
They've been rough on him but I thank God he's stepped up for us
So glad I stumbled on this. I’ve been watching all his lectures on CZcams. Lifechanging genius. I’m 74. If I had found him at 20 i would have become a better person if I could have grasped this brilliance at that age. Absolutely mind blowing genius. I suppose it’s never too late because here I am being transformed!!
....IMHO: ....One can tell, immediately, that Jordan Peterson is HUNGRY for knowledge, awareness, and TRUTH!! He's ALWAYS interesting to listen to! Thanks!!!
It's probably the most profound TED speech ever.
To be honest there isn't much competition.
The bar is set right here...if you're not up to this bar, you might wanna forget your talk and go home.
And don't think TED is ready for this kinda speech, they don't go for "most Profound" anything. Maybe "most shallow" but no shade, thats just the direction they took these last years
Jordan Peterson has the unique ability to put forth a three-hour course in under a half hour. My head is spinning, in the greatest possible way.
Get a grip ,you do not want your head to spin out of control.
This man is a gift from God
Yes he is.
Yes he is!!!! Love JP!
I act as if he is a gift from God
he's God's sacrifice to us
You just shook my belief in JP.
This man is a pure legend. From his yellow shirt , his theatrical way of talking to his wisdom, insight, intelligence, all of it. Absolutely incredible
💋💋💋
Listening to one of his lectures is like an evening at the symphony for me...
An experience I keep for a lifetime. I thank you Mr Peterson
💋💋💋
Not only did he got me to read more books. I am now also reading a dictionary. Just to be able to better understand what he says. (-.-')(-.-')(-.-')
Cool
There's a lot about semantics, how we understand the right (but not suitable) meaning of the words. The snare is here when you proclaim that you understand the rightful meaning of what has been told to you.
I am so glad others are saying this. He uses worlds I have not heard since - maybe college. Since I don't use them often, I don't have an immediate recall of their definition, thus by the time I go through my personal dictionary, he has already used two or three more words I need to look up. I have started a list of words to look up, so in the future, when I listen to him, I am in hopes I will understand at a deeper level.
You should check out Vocabulary.com. I just discovered it recently and it has been a big help!
@@alexnelson7258 The "Vocabulary Builder" app is good as well. The app gives you a new word daily, along with the definition of said word.
I've discovered Jordan Peterson. I didn't know this man existed until someone mentioned that he called upon Mary as the archetype of the Mother. I got intrigued and now I'm hooked. I love to listen to this man's mind and heart.
I love the way he speaks. This is the first TED Talk I've seen that didn't sound scripted.
yeah I think this is kinda like the real information he's referring to in the talk🌀
Jordan Peterson has changed my life! I'm addicted to his lectures! I can't seem to get enough of him! Each time I listen to his lectures, it feels like I'm growing new brain cells! God bless you Dr Peterson! And your family 😁
That was beautiful. Thank you Dr. I needed you today.. thank you for guidance. Just left the funeral home. Rough day. I'm so glad, that you are here.
This is breathtakingly beautiful! Why Dr. Peterson is a leading thinker. Do not miss this.
I always feel a little smarter after I listen to Jordan speak. He makes me see the world from a different perspective. The new perspective opens up my consciousness to be able to experience the world in a better way and less connected to the dogma that constantly bombards me and attempts to make me accept things the way we think they should be.
Truth & Justice I always feel I can understand myself and others just a tad better each time. Jordan is soo profound, he is beyond this world, almost like he time traveled from the future to fix the past, you know, since history keeps repeating itself because we cant fucking grow up and move ahead...
D27Rugen I couldn't agree with you guys more. I heard his tenure is at risk , is this true? If he were to lose his tenure I would feel quite sad about living in a society that would cast away such a great example of virtue, and lover of knowledge, for the sake of SJW pronouns.
Alessandro Bucci well I got on his Paetron and giving him $5 each month, I hope he ditches that stupid University and makes his own online college, would love to take his classes and attend his lectures if he ever travels down to the SE of the US
his communication skills are outstanding.
its not new but it simplifies thought that is now buried by modern society
This man is a Hero in the truest sense of the word
Steve Collins he is even going through his own Dante's Inferno
Jordan Peterson is the hero that we need.
We don't need inspiration; we need DRIVE, the drive I feel every time I watch this man so eloquently extract the essence of the meanings of life and put them on display for all to see and understand at their leisure.
Bravo my friend, bravo.
I shed a few tears during this. So many epiphanies at once, it's sort of overwhelming.
You are healing ,,,good.
I've never simultaneously been left speechless, mind-blown and inspired. Just exceptional.
A very heroic speech and Heros are few and far between these days so it is nice to find one here. Thank you.
Seems a bit prophetic eh
it sure does
He reminds me of Joseph Campbell. I may not agree with everything Peterson says, but I do acknowledge... Dr. Peterson is a light shining in the darkness.
I thought I had strange ideas in my head and I was all alone until I heard everything this man has to say
Same here man. His content is pretty endless, too.
Watching this presentation, I can't help but notice that it's not Dr. Peterson speaking, rather, it's the core of the subject that's propelling him to speak. I love it.
I don't remember last time anything touched me like this. It's a shame I haven't heard it when I was 18.
The Important thing is ,,,,you now know .
Make sure to share the video and open up Peterson’s other vast arrays of videos and knowledge to an 18 year old in your life. Another family member, a friend’s kid... I have and they thanked me for it.
Finally, a TED talk worth watching.
Woah. Just woah. I love JP's explanation of the "spiritual" as that which builds you, and the "material" as that which transforms your surroundings.
Possibly the most beautiful, eloquent, and inspiring illustration of what the groundwork for life is. He gives such a unique and profound explanation of the human endeavor. I am truly enlightened by his words.
We do not deserve Jordan Peterson.
Especially when Jordan becomes emotional about something he finds he is passionate about....which is just about everything!
I like the name you've chosen for this account.
Death By Cognitive Dissonance
~Of course we deserve Jordan Peterson!!
Why wouldn't we all deserve an eloquent spokes person to guide us to and through a more godly and expansive experience of being human? He is a manifestation of God as we all are. And we all deserve the help and kindness of God however it appears IMHO.
I am deservedly grateful for someone like Jordan Peterson.
Death By Cognitive Dissonance im
SONIC FOXX MUSIC its very godly and shows serious strength.
Just when you think you've seen every JP CZcams video you find another one - and it's a TED talk of course! Love you JP x
great way to start my morning, going to play this for my sons when they get up!
this man makes me look again at my ideas....He educates me..
Man, I'm surprised to have seen this ted because this is the most crucial thought in my journey trying to push my state of depression away, I'm really glad to see Petersonsaying this kind of thing and also everything else he says, the man is a gift to society
I absolutely needed to hear this. Thank you.
Good ,now do not forget it.
I love you Jordan Peterson. You have saved my life.
Those who attack him know, on some subconscious level, that if the world heard this man speak, their worldview's nakedness would be revealed, as the Emperor with no clothes.
And as the 'tailors' that had peddled it to us all, they would not be judged too kindly.
Peterson is the father I never had. I love this teachings 🙂
To even understand his wisdom you would already have to know a great deal.
Daisy Jane Pink or at least have a "knowing" at the core of your being which resonates with the message although you may not fully grasp all of his words.
"a 'knowing' at the core of your being which resonates with the message"
... Well, I certainly don't know what the fuck that means. o_o
Dr Cringe knowing other people are full of shit is just part of growing old, knowing how you're full of shit is when you grow up.
jordan chen cool phrase where is that from?
Daisy Jane Pink Actually, it's mostly common sense. Problem is that many people don't seem to have much anymore. Very sad. Glad we have people like him because it takes brass to stand up to stupidity when it is so predominant in out society.
If Western civilization survives, there will be statues of this man.
Statues are for pigeons to poop on . No statue needed, just a little respect.
Simply one of the most resonating and profound speeches I have ever had the honor to listen to.
I wanted to say the same exact thing.. You said it better.
I'm not a victim, I made my choices in life but for God's sake, if someone had tried to explain this to me once or twice in my life, it would have been a very, very different story. God Bless you, Jordan.
No regrets ,lesson learned ,move on and keep going strong.
Fantastic.
Jordan Peterson is a genius at understanding human psychological and sociological reasoning.
Look at how animated Jordan is in this video! He lives and breathes this. He is in his element, fully engaged and totally living in the moment! It gladdens my heart just watching him!
Whenever I see Jordan, I think of the saying, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going!" These past few years have been tough on him but he fights for what he knows as good, honest and inspiring. It's in his core being!
So brilliant Jordan Peterson. I am amazed with your explanation. So happy to find you. I will watch more of your videos as well.
The best philosopher of our time. A man who illuminates the pathway for the individual who is in the dark.
absolutely powerful! thank you for just being you Jordan Peterson.
Outstanding ted talk....so much wisdom for a 20 min talk
This is by far the most eye opening and amazing ted talk that exists. I've never felt something resonate so deep in my being. What a way to describe it too. Thank you Mr Peterson
"I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him; or the old laws be expanded, and interpreted in his favor in a more liberal sense, and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings. In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness. If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.”
-Thoreau
Amazing...
So many years following this guy, and now i come across his most brilliant lecture, a video from 2016. Probably the most important of his messages, and that says something.
This is absolute gold, instructions on how to become a jewel of humanity.
Don't lie is a good start.
That was beautiful. I might have to steal it so if you see it written some day, pat yourself on the back👏🏻
Almost Christ-like as he voluntarily shoulders all the responsibility he can and struggles uphill toward the Good while the modern Philistines torment him with their malevolence. He has done the heavy lifting for us in some respects, ferreting out the wisdom from the greats and applying to our current woes. His intellect, voracious reading , deep reflection, genuine compassion combined with his amazing professional resume ....... At 64, I'm stunned at the impact he has had on me. Never heard of him until 2020. I'm recently retired... senior management, chemist, musician, motorcycles, tolerate technology...Then, Bang. I've got hundreds of hours into JP this year. I cry when he cries. He'd prob. deem that pathological :]
It's time for a family update, MP. Life truly is suffering. Praying for you and yours, Good Doctor.
He said “ we don’t really see people we see shadows” blew me away. I get that. I think it is because our society has gotten so populated our brains can’t deal with so many people who are strangers. Our brains can only handle those we are intimate with. My child now adult is on the autism spectrum and suffers greatly in public. she is wonderful when she is at home with family. But in public, She doesn’t see people as shadows she sees them as real and clear and individual it overwhelms her and she cannot take so much She cannot protect her nervous system by shadowing the people around her, so she melts down.
Thanks for sharing your perspective. David Foster Wallace always stated that it is impossible to understand true meaning until you put yourself in others shoes. I struggle with that daily.
No. He doesnt mean that. He is talking about the simplification our brains does to reallity. I know because he explained in some of his 2017 personality lectures.
@@rajinfootonchuriquen so glad you posted this. To make what he said about over population is an unfortunate interpretation of what he was saying.
@@cognitiveimpact5929 Eh, he's basically saying the same thing. It's definitely not because of overpopulation, but larger social circles being intertwined with our methods of simplification is an interesting, not unfortunate, take on things in my opinion.
We are strangers to ourselves most of the time.
I didn't thought I would ever have a model in life(I always thought I am my own model :P ), but Mr. Jordan proves to be it. His lectures rly change the way you see the world and yourself.
What are you reading the comments for? CLEAN YOUR DAMN ROOM
its like you speaking to me.. am off to work anyhow.... thanks
NEVER
My room is already clean.

THisman just asks you, invites you, dares you, challenges you to love him, and in loving him, to love your neighbour as yourself. He is a phenomenon of our times. God save and bless him and his family.
this was just genius. So many thoughts and ideas articulated together and juxtaposed like they were in love with one another.
Should have millions of views
it will, give it a couple years.
Why should it? It's not a new Tailor Swift music video.
Agreed! That’s probably because it requires proper attentive listening and an above average understanding of vocabulary and sentence structure that is a rarity these days. Even I only listened to it because my husband who is infinitely smarter than I, sent it to me to watch. I will have to watch it again to fully even comprehend it.
1.2 million!
God Bless This man... I'm so grateful to have witnessed this
I love how when I watch one JP lecture and 5 more pop up on
my feed :o) I can binge on Jordan Peterson!
After years of following Dr JBP and consuming 100’s of hours of his content with tremendous gratitude, I had a lightbulb moment during this talk. I’ve finally realized why the depth of his ideas have still not gotten easier to decipher.
I previously thought it was because I can listen to him over and over and uncover more depth each time.
But I just realized it might also be that I get distracted by my sheer amazement of the wisdom he so effortlessly articulates, which hinders my ability to cover my awareness with what he’s saying without part of my awareness being distracted by my amazement at the deep and effortlessly articulated wisdom.
Now that I am mindful of that observation and therefore can eliminate it as a distraction, I feel like my comprehension of the depth is more efficient.
strange observation but I wanted to share that thought.
Can you explain me this video, what's the point?
Discovering Jordan B Peterson is one of the best things that happened in my life.
I very much think Dr. Peterson is one of the best thinkers living today...Can't wait for him to talk to Sam Harris on Monday.
Brilliant analysis. Wow, need to listen to this another 5 times!
Thank you, again and again, Dr. Peterson. Your ardent enthusiasm often brings tears of joy to my opened eyes!
A mind-blowing, person-enhancing peek into what it means to be a meaningful person. WOW!
I had to listen to this twice. Powerful stuff
Yes. It's too information-dense to grasp in one pass. Not really appropriate for a TED talk.
My favourite speech...
Unusual talk, as listening to it got my brain to grind a rusty set of neurons to turn a notch once or twice. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on CZcams.
MegF is
Get in your shed and sharpen your tools ,your going to need them!
Wau.. I cannot believe how much you it all makes sense now. It is amassing that all (all most all ) humans are on the same path, but I have never heard about this.
I can recognize my self in every part of this. Thank you for this
grateful to have come across his work. share these ideas with others.
thank you, sir
Thank you , your words were beautiful and inspiring..
This is incredibly true. I started to teach myself how to write software 3 years ago. A month ago I got my first job as a software engineer with no degree. My mind has never been so at ease and I have never felt like I can accomplish whatever I want like I do now. Ready for my mid-late 20s so I can become an even greater version of myself:D
That's awesome! Keep it up!
Thank you! :D
Wow, just only found this now, after having watched countless hours of JP's lectures :)
This man has some of the most interesting lectures that I have ever listened to
The information I've learned recently fit so well together. Many of us suffer from ADHD, the inability to narrowing down the experience. The inability to adult... and we should start realizing that's a good thing.
Very informative talk, Dr. Peterson, thank you. I'm going to use the knowledge and inspiration gained here to help me become a better person for myself and others. Thank you again for posting, I appreciate it.
I love people who love Jordan Peterson.
This Morning, in despair, I watched this and this is the way out, this is the path. Sending it to myself and will, of course, watch it again. Thank you, again and again, Dr. Peterson.
I’m a retired psychologist who left the field after 10 years. If my graduate school had someone with 1/2 Dr. Peterson’s knowledge I could have stayed. But, as someone in his 70ies I think he’s the most brilliant man in this field and at my age I’m excited by how much he has connected! So much so, I’m bringing my 30 yr old son-in-law to his next lecture in Boston. Brilliant!
Thumbs up Jordan Peterson for Prime Minister
Not a Canadian, but--are you nuts? You want to waste this man on mere GOVERNANCE? What is wrong with you?
JP is in a position of power--he is helping the rest of us understand what the hell is going on, and where we should go next. That is so more important than screaming in the ears of know-nothing blowhards and powermongers.
The crucial thing about Peterson is exactly that he is NOT the hero, NOT the savior. He's showing us how WE can be our own heroes, and save ourselves and everyone around us. That is vastly more important than any mundane political job.
What a lowly position to force the man in.
You want him to guide a country?
He's busy guiding a generation.
Thats a higher priority.
J100 T I do not want to see him in politics. It would just be such a waste. Politics is so beneath him...
you would ruin his life
A person who has a "why" can conquer any "how".
Although, a person who asks a "how" may well conquer the "why?"....eventually.
Nietzsche said
And we're undone when we lose a why. The hardest thing imaginable is gaining a new why. I think Kanye West has done this in his own life last year, and built out of that something that could change America, and beyond... It's like the effulgent religiosity is poining to a shining forth just emerging now... Jordan and Kanye are awakening the world.
He (Nietzsche) said almost any how, not every how.
It's wrong quoted. "He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how."
The depth of this video is astounding
BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I need more of that last part.That was a heavy spiritual message dressed down in practical, .layman speech, but I still need to understand it better.
We are here to support you! Great work professor!
A purely brilliant and wise man! Thank you Jordan Peterson!
One of Dr. Peterson's most captivating, and passionate lectures. Well done. I love everything this guy does, and I really appreciate how much he's taught me.
Such an amazing speech!
