The year of 2020 was an absolutely heartbreaking year for me. Lost people, failed in my dreams, health was declining. I was in a terrible place. I sought out help and came across Jordan Peterson's lectures, interviews, and podcasts he has done. The way he articulates his thoughts not only helped me put my life on track, but saved me from taking my life.
Thank you Mr.Peterson, I can not thank you enough. You are a man with a genuine interest to help people.
god bless you man
God bless you. Stand up straight with your shoulders back.
Also look for material from David Goggins. He also wrote a book and is on many podcasts (e. g Joe Rogan) Might be helpful. Stay hard my friend, don't lose hope God bless u
Great! 👍 God bless you
@@souljacem Yes! I think of that statement all the time, it literally changes things the minute you do it.
I had been diagnosed with complex post traumatic stress disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and several other comorbid disorders. I took the Authoring program, and now I'm in 3rd year of a university degree with a 3.96 GPA and a bright future ahead of me (I'm 62 years old). I made a conscious decision to visualize a positive outcome, and moved forward "as if" it were true. Through my degree, my goal is to counsel families dealing with generational narcissism, and I'm loving my life.
Kathy W Good luck with your goal.
Excellent work Kathy!
@@cloudybeforerain7134 Thank you :-)
@@michaeljohnson2922 Thanks so much.
So glad to hear you are doing so well 🙂
Jocko not talking for 6 min straight, good interviewer
I'm sure Jocko would do that (staying silent for 6 mins) unless the guest is very thoughtful, it covers all aspects and perspectives. Jocko understands that!
Good point
I skipped when he did talk tho
@@yashkaliapiano And yet, he offered some wonderful (in my perspective) insight and a beautiful addition to Mr Peterson's message.
The irony of having this video in your "watch later" playlist
Kinda sums up the tragic-comedy of our generation
Brilliant 😆 definitely something I could do 😂
Lol I specifically added it to my watch because of this comment. No idea when I can finish/ watch again. Maybe later 👀
@@joshuasanto9345 I see you are a man of culture as well.
😂😂
I haven't come across a better teacher than Peterson in knowing how to properly use and regulate fear and anxiety in the healthiest, thriving way possible.
@Psychonaut I hope you free yourself from this ideological dogma that you're possessed by. I can tell it's not doing you any good when that's all you mostly whine about.
@BrotherTree1 check out my guy Alan watts
@Psychonaut If we are talking about credentials of ourselves to show our intellect and give verdict, then well I a doctor. Jordan Peterson pulled me through. He has been that one person who made me see how to properly orient myself. So, stop shutting on people who have helped others.
@Psychonaut First step to realising your own problems is seeing it in other people. I hope that reaches the part of you that is still open and untainted.
@Psychonaut oh yeah like what? What have u done exactly?
Jordan Peterson seems to be the only person that can motivate me. This was a great clip!
Same. It's because he isn't arrogant and his advice is actually practical.
And Alan Watts! They both have a real nice way of putting words together
@Psychonaut Nobody is perfect. If you look deep into their teachings you will see that it all ends in utter tragedy but try to make things a little better along the way.
All I gotta say is David Goggins
@@gregolsen6521 Yeah. Man. Peterson and goggins. All day!
I see Jordan Peterson, I click
Yes!
I see Lucia Ro, I run.
I love how he just adds, “And that is the purpose of memory btw.”
I swear the Universe put him right here, where we all needed him to be.
"Discipline will get you where motivation cannot." Goggins. This one I can agree with.
David Goggins is something else! God bless that guy.
diSIcIplNe nOt MotIvaTioN is something I've heard so much, but discipline requires motivation because you aren't going to stick to things you dislike consistently if you don't have a good reason or motivation for it.
@@aaronlo6952 finally some sense
@@aaronlo6952 True, but I think what he means by motivation is feeling like doing something, not necessarily knowing you want to get something done.
When Peterson talks I’m always thinking I need to write this stuff down, in ink, on my arm.
Thats the nicest comment! 😊
Jordan Peterson has done more for me than my father. So glad that I have an ability to watch this content. Thanks
I feel the same way :)
same man . same
Jocko and Jordan. The titans.
Yeah I was wondering how this hadn’t happened before.
@@davemontore Maybe everything comes at its appointed time?
@Psychonaut Do you know Jordan? Or is that just hear say?
Do you know another man that has attempted within his ability to help young men? Young men who need a mentor at this time and place.
Such a great combination!
Drop some knowledge Papa Peterson
Yes, it's my internet dad 👍
Yesh
"Run away from what you don't want" -- this story is called a Tragedy.
"Run towards what you do want" -- this story is called an Epic.
At this point I'd settle for a comedy, myself.
Jim Luebke ... 😂😂 - yeah, me too, man. Me too.
That’s the beauty of comedy, you can have a tragic type or an epic type!
Anything can be a comedy
The accurate phrasing of both sentences should be: "Run away from what gets you into a worse place later on" "Run towards to what builds you up"
A divine comedy involves a struggle through hardship with a happy ending. Overcoming that struggle is what gives life meaning, when approached willingly. I think this is all most people can hope for, given how hard and unpredictable life can be. Seems like a story worth telling to me ♥
someone once told me that comedy is simply overcoming tragedy, I'm not sure if that's literally true but it's been a useful mindset
Because of JP I changed careers and left the “Devil I knew” of a job for the unknown “devil I didn’t know” future. I’m creating I life I want now instead of saying I will later. I wouldn’t have been able to start any of these changes without JPs true care and love for people he doesn’t even personally know..
Jordan Peterson = Individual Empowerment.
how are you doing now?
I just tried this. For the first time in years I finally don't feel empty inside. If ur wondering if what he said work, please do what he says. It will work.
Great video! We are both in our 80's and feel better than ever! We are all about healthy aging. Our goal is to "Die Young...As Late as possible!" Need to maintain a strong body, calm mind, & positive outlook. We're doing some research for our new healthy-aging advice CZcams channel. Want to inspire and motivate others. Learned from you. TY
@@solaveritas2 Thanks for this. ALL of our subscribers are younger than us! :)
Jordan Peterson is like the step dad who actually cares
Thanks Theo
The step dad we all needed.
Politics aside; I love this guy. I went through the usual education system and became a doctor. But what he says always blows my mind
Thank you for your service
Probably a podiatrist
@@ryanwise2556 Emergency physician. Also Podiatrist are one of the best docs i know.
@@ryanwise2556 why you talk like that?
Why?
Make this man a legend. Always remember him.
Jockos latter point on the ‘why’ thread running through a company to the individual is something I never thought about. Really interesting point.
6:02 this is so true. I wonder what my life would've been like if someone sat in front of me and pushed me to push myself. And ask the important questions.
I have been reading self-help books for over 40 years now, but not once did I ever read about this idea of first setting your personal goals and then seeing if your company's goals aligns with where you want to be. That is a staggering change in optics for most of us. Why do I say this? Because - to my knowledge - it has never been explicitly stated before. If, say, you join the army or law firm or any other organization, one's typical long term goal is to rise as high as one can within the organization. It's a given. It's what culture ingrains in us, i.e., "careerism." However, there is something worth even more than rising within an organization or a company, i.e., making sure that one's own goals or purpose is kept firmly in first place. Life shouldn't work any other way. And, the truth is that life truly doesn't work well - either for the organization or the individual - when that perspective is not acknowledged, respected and cultivated. Yes, your heard me right..."cultivated."
I'm so unmotivated I can't even watch this
Perhaps you were being facetious. If not...start caring for yourself. Eat right. Get sunshine for 15 minutes a day or increase your intake of vitamin D (egg yolks, salmon, red meat, fortified cereals). Exercise. Be kind to yourself. Forgive yourself. Address trauma you may have suffered. If someone told you you were stupid or a failure, it was said to manipulate you or to satisfy their own aggression. Remember all the celebrities like Harrison Ford who were told they would never succeed but they did because they refused to buy into another person's opinion. Act like you matter because you do.
You will get past this I feel u don't give up
@@kathiegifford5112 it should be pointed out that someone can be doing all these things and still lack motivation/purpose. It’s possible to be eating well and exercising, no trauma etc and still not have motivation. Doing everything you can (which ironically takes commitment and motivation itself) to improve sometimes doesn’t get at the root of your suffering. Don’t blame yourself for failing. Continue trying. Even if you fail ultimately, it’s better to fail trying then to not try at all and fail anyway. (This is the stupid shit we tell ourselves to justify our existence. We’re programmed by the forces of biology to fight for a living. Most of us. Sometimes this circuitry goes awry and one cannot feel purpose anymore. Others that have “functioning” circuitry don’t understand this. They think their inner world reflects all of reality, all minds must function the way theirs does. This is a stupid presumption. No one has the same talents. Not everyone looks the same. Not everyone is the exact same height. Why the he’ll would you expect everyone to share the same inner lives? Not everyone responds to stimulus in the same way. Sometimes people are unlucky. Bad genes combined with bad environment can totally destroy a person. Sometimes how you feel isn’t under your control. You’re lucky if you can feel happy, or love yourself. Not everyone can. If you insist they can and they are just “choosing not to” then you are oblivious to the reality that surrounds you. Free will isn’t a thing. We are a biological system. The mind reflects the state of the brain. The brain can malfunction just like any other organ.) I don’t know why I typed all this out but I’ll post it anyway.
Thank you so much for this dr. Peterson! May God bless you and watch over you and your wonderful family
This is serious wisdom here. My dad did this when he was young and in college. He was very successful in his career and happy in life. I follow in his footsteps to this day, which seems to be working quite well for me.
Anything this man speak's gold. Always.
He always gives the most incredible advice with stories you can visualize and apply!!
Ok. I've motivated myself, put myself through school. Graduate school. Medical school. Residency. Now all that motivation got me here... Happiness was never part of the equation.
According to my fiance, I still don't literally stand up perfectly straight, but she said that my overall posture has greatly improved. So literally, I'm standing up straighter then I used to. On the more abstract end, I stand up for my truth with a lot more ferocity and have the courage to not fall in line with what I don't believe to be true and what others want at the expense of myself. Part of standing up straight with your shoulders back, in my opinion, includes telling the truth. It isn't easy, and I screw up a lot. But I screw up honestly and with the best in mind. Overall, it's helped shape me more into what I am becoming. What I am becoming, continually, is the thing that is constantly shedding skin and changing into the best version of myself. Bare in mind, that's always changing. And life is hard. But it's worth it.
Awesome. "Constantly shedding skin and changing into the best version of myself."
Keep it up brother.
Definitely keep it up. Is your fiance offering this critique without your request? If so thats a red flag my friend. The fact that she is being critical while you are clearly working to be a good man is a good indication that she will make a bad life partner. This may seem small but reverse the roles and ask yourself if you would offer the same criticism
@@ryanwise2556 no no. I asked her myself lol...I ask for critique all the time.
“Competence beats obedience...” deep....
Thank you Mr. Peterson for all your teachings.
can't wait for more regular posts and talks from Jordan.
it is always good to listen to JORDAN PETERSON--- there is always something to learn.
Agreed ♥
Perfect reminder at this time and to the point with action thank you!
I just did the fun activity and I have to say I already feel determined to focus on what I want. I’ve been doing it wrong this whole time.
Watching your videos sir there are such immense benefit for listening and seeing which parts of it i can apply in my own life and my business. Thank you.
Thanks from Korea
I thank Jordan Peterson for his thinking, he explains things in a illuminating way. So realistic and positive. I feel lucky and blessed even now this year so complicase for so many, in different ways... He confirms some of my convictions, and I like o listen to him because I always learn something.
2:27 yes!!! As a person who loves stories, experiencing and telling them, I believe this is so true. Life is very much like a personal story, lots of story telling elements can be analogous with life as well.
If you think of all the common building blocks of a good story like good characters and character development, relationships, conflicts and resolutions, the big message or main idea the story tries to tell, the fact that it all has to end, etc. You can kind of see how some of them connect with aspects of life and how the ways these parts are set up can determine a good or bad ending.
Also I like video games like almost any other person, and I like story based ones the most, (I usually don't enjoy playing other types of games unless its multiplayer and I can play with friends) and there's even stuff about those kinds of games, like farming for loot and xp that can be analogous to working or schooling in life, both last long and are quite boring but the whole point of doing them is to try and get something good for yourself, in a game that could be some item or cosmetic even that you like or that will help you progress in the story, and in life that is trying to reach some goal you've set, like what you want to do for other ppl or a community or for yourself. I guess it is probably dumb and pretty nerdy to make that analogy, but it does help me think of what I'm doing any boring or strenuous work for, there's some kind of goal that it should be helping me reach or else what's the point?
I ranted a lil too much I think, idk I just wanted to point out how I love and agree with that analogy JP made, about life being a personal story and how it correlates to all kinds of smaller stories we love telling, fictional and nonfictional.
I can’t even verbalize how much I appreciate this man and his wisdom!!
Felt great after listening to his words. Godbless you sir. Thanks.
Dr Peterson changed my life!
He’s right. We’re always asked what do we want to do when we grow up , not what kind of person we want to be
VERY IMPORTANT TO ME! Thank you Dr. Peterson!!!
Waking up to this to look for motivation because I'm so overwhelmed right now is the best thing ever. Listening to Peterson is my motivation
Thank you, as always, Sir.
Knowing what NOT to do is just as important as knowing what you need to do
great clip
I will watch this over and over. Best therapy
Thank you so much Dr Peterson
I love how he casually nukes the conversation with “..which is the purpose of memory btw.”
Like WHAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!
🤣😂🤣 I love this man so much! Nothing helps me feel proud to be Canadian like this man does.
@2:50
You don't have much else to be proud of Canada for.....m
Jordan Peterson is a brilliant philosopher and great leader for the times we live in....
I love you Mr. Peterson .
thank you doc. so much
I used to really dislike this guy. I’ve changed my opinion of him. I find him to be interesting now.
Why did you dislike him in the first place? (Serious question)
D.D D.D I was expecting this question frankly. Well, a few things. I found him combative and kind of a wind bag to be totally blunt. As a step father of girls, his position on feminism seemed very harsh (until you read between the interviewers attacks and subsequent defence). So I suppose for the most part I just felt like he spoke too much to say too little. But I have watched many videos and given him a chance - I have changed my stance mainly due to these types of talks. Being said, I still tend to stay away from the feminism (or perceived anti feminist) views/discussions.
What changed your mind & why did you initially dislike him?
Robert Groen see comment above
Stephan Bernard I did, thx. I don’t think he is intentionally combative. But he’s been asked to perpetually explain, repeatedly, his position on many issues. That gets exhausting, annoying & frustrating lol
Jordan Peterson is a treasure to humanity.
So true ♥
JBP and Jocko two of my favorites
Man i do hope he will have a huge comeback, all the best.
Thanks for this. Doing that exercise was a huge relief, feel like a weight was lifted.
Gold knowledge... Thank you!
Excellent video and message! I think I'll animate this one next! Thank you Dr Peterson for the work you do ♥
Watch a motivation video while you are relaxing for a bit in the evening and it gives you superfuel to get things done the next day. it's like suddenly putting on a Superman t-shirt...
Jordan, I love your content. Keep up the good work
2:55 "which is the purpose of memory, btw".. So much contained in an off hand sentence (comment). I felt Niechzte nod in approval.
As with many things, it's un-PC, but Jocko Willink and Jordan Peterson are two real men: decent, caring, intelligent and fearless. Dr Peterson is talking what should be common sense, but it's not very common, as they say. It should be obvious to leaders and managers that if you want to motivate people, you have to tell them exactly how what they're doing will help them and other people. It's like if you don't understand that, you must never have had a good conversation with a human being.
Sir, so happy to see you are back! Be well!
he is not, this video is old
Jordan Peterson has one main flaw: He knows and understands SO MUCH that he cannot teach it fast enough for the rest of us. He's constrained by the fact that we have to use this clunky thing called speech to convey knowledge. If he could simply think things and the people near him would just get it, it would be so much better.
Well that’s the problem with most professors. They know staff yet they don’t know how to articulate it well. And then they just make a face that they don’t care.
Peterson is great because he taught himself to digest info and spread it to people
@@birzhanabdikhan8175 I bought his first book and it's a struggle. He can't see the look on my face (like he can with a live audience) that says 'Slow down! My brain hurts!). I had to set it aside. I'll try again over winter because I WANT to learn this stuff!
@@Comicsluvr good to hear that. I becomes easier with time. I am know reading high-tier books like they were written for kids. Just keep up.
Jocko is such a great listener here
Great talk! Thank you.
Bought the program. Gonna do future authoring soon
Hoping for the best for you!
The program he was talking about? I can buy it?
James Armistead Double spy undercover You can! It’s called the Future Authoring Program, and it seems to be extremely useful for the personal self. It’s available on his website for further details.
Did you do it yet?
@@adolfotibana2810 i wanna know the progress :)
Sir Jordan B Peterson.
Just the video I need
So good n Gr8 to see u back in action!
Thanks
This man is amazing
As an entrepreneur, I speak to alot of people. I am surprised to see how many people have not really sat down to look at why they are doing what they are doing. Also found most are doing things for the wrong reasons. Time is your #1 commodity. Unfortunately money is #2. Find what you can do to make the most amount of money in the shortest amount of time. Then you can live like most can't. ;) This is right mindset.
"Don't sell them a goal" is an essential idea.
Yes!!
awesome vid, hope you are doing well doc!
This was an excellent discussion.
ty
The part about motivation shocks me. Our society is so driven to perform bigger better stronger. Get out of university with 21/23 in europe, get higher stocks, produce more, get everything online right now. But yet we don't focus on building up our people. Show young people why Education matters, why sport matters, why clubs/associstions matter. If you associate our society with a person, i think you would see someone running around quite nervously, trying to get every thing done at once for high volume. Not someone who carefully builds up a strong foundation. Not someone who is interessted in high quality.
Now I am motivated!!
I've just discovered your channel. I like Jordan Peterson speaches and interviews with him and I really appreciate that you are not spoiling his speach with music like many other channels. Their music... on background or rather sometimes even on foreground .... is sinking the content - I feel like it tries to stop my thinking and investigating my feelings and just instill that sheepish pathetic feeling, using clickbait titles...
Thank you for not using that cheap manipulative way, thank you for meaningful selection of good content. Thang you for letting us really digest his words and thoughts , not only gobble and fart afterwords.
I'm subscribing.
1.3k likes. 2 dislikes. There's a reason why this resonates so much with so many people. We desperately need more of these kinds of messages in our society
Agreed :)
small steps bring big outcomes
Balvenie...the kiss of an angel.
I realized something that I never recovered from realizing 🤣🤣
Really interesting. I think this expains the success of companies like Tesla and SpaceX. They have a really clear vision and clear way to move up the company. And all the workers feel like what they are working on is really making a difference in the world
coming from jerusalem nice video peterson
This is a good video!
I admire your persistence in the scientific search for answers and how to apply these to the meaning of life and behavioral issues and you drive to help people. I feel sorry for you for trying to understand so many things. I believe we are all wired for happiness (quote from bishop Barron). It is in giving that we approach our innate wired patterns and attain happiness.
The problem is that in the taking mode in which most of us live we short the wiring. Put yourself in God's hands and pursue you interests, ask (pray) for his guidance and wisdom. You have to ask in order to receive. I see you suffer in trying to understand stuff. One thing I learned from my father is that you can only do the best you can with you God given capacity. If you did your best, you can sleep in peace and you can be happy knowing that you did your best, and if you realize you could have done better, do it next time. God bless you.
Was looking at when this occurred. If possible would be great to have dates attached to the content. Ty!
I really do like the podcasts between Jordan Peterson and Jocko Willink. All 3 of them are brilliant. I'm hoping Jordan Peterson will be on Jocko Willink's podcast again since he's returned home and when he's better. I encourage people to listen to those podcasts.
#98: Is just an all-around awesome podcast. I'm certain all sorts of JBP fans may enjoy it. (Before the release of 12 Rules For Life)
#112: Is on 12 Rules For Life, and it's kind of funny. (I listened to this before and after reading the book. I definitely had a more profound experience listening to the podcast after reading the book).
#155: Is about the horrors of The Gulag Archipelago. A brutal podcast. (I haven't read The Gulag Archipelago yet. Please don't judge me, I'm currently reading Man's Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankl before I dive into the work of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn).
I think Jocko Willink's podcast is seriously underrated and I encourage people to listen to it, even if it's not their taste. With all being said, I wish everyone the best.
I'm motivated to eternal life!! motivated by the best and the only one God, no men!!
Yeshua
First time I ever heard mr Peterson as a layman when he said 'dont be' he is human after all🙃
Oh shit he's alive!!
great
I know so many kids that try to set goals and have been asked to find something that they like...they couldn't, and they killed themselves. Not having drive is a disease and people need to understand it is almost impossible to fix...just because someone asks you to find your happy place.
