      Chris! pay up buddy. I'm an out shape rather barbarian egg faced human in America and believe you owe me some of your Pretty, Deep brown eyed, Statue of David physic Privilege. A check simply won't do! And No I'm not comparing myself to you, I'm making fun of me and you. I've been working hard brother from a much much lower status spot then you .. but again that's my fault ..I was once the king of all that i saw.. and Hubris Came .. the Piper Did Call... I'm putting in alot of work .. I'm not perfect or as ready as one would like me to be .. but history Waits for no man .. or women for that matter.. I believe i have cracked a big societal nut no ones been able to quite figure out .,.. at least in the US .. it's about the homeless crisis and how to reverse it .. here is a video i put out today mostly for my Facebook family and friends, but I think it's a good measure of where I'm at... czcams.com/video/23XtnDnL6mc/video.html i know this is breaking a once cardinal rule about the internet but ...I'm desperate .. you should have me on as a guest +1 509-818-6005 The names Cameron Vessey

      Chris a taste of my fix.. Many a late night commercial, new aspiring book or author might say “forget everything you know about Blank”. Because their about to blow you away with a whole new way to look at an old problem. Check out my new mouse trap. But as I often do, I must take a different approach, as I tell you to check out this Mouse trap Escape tool. Take everything you know about habits, From Jocko to Books on self-discipline, from self-help to psychological research take it all …and try to imagine what a human being older then 20 years old would look like, act like, be capable of or what they wouldn’t be capable of if you wiped them clean of every single habit they’ve been forming since birth .. then place them into society.
      This human can be of normal intelligence, of privileged genetics’, and well educated. This human can also have avoided any psychosis inducing trauma throughout his or hers life. As well-adjusted of a say 25 to 40 year old as one might imagine. Then thoroughly wipe them clean of any habits they might normal of developed over the same period of life. Take minute. Physical habits, emotional habits, greeting people with a hello, avoiding cracks in the road. Putting their shoes on in the morning, wiped clean of every habit you can think of and oh so many that you haven’t. And place them into society for a week. For a month .. how would they fair? Could they maintain their patience when cashiers bagging the potatoes in another plastic bag even though they come in a bag already? How often would they just start running to safety like a deer in a grassy field sensing possible danger? After a long week of putting forth effort to do so many little things how exhausted would they be? One might even think they were suffering from depression. Tired, lethargic, no direction.. What if a perfectly healthy human who was suffering from a habit chalk board that had been wiped clean were everything is far more of an effort then normal was given anti depressants ..
      Take every thing you know about habits, motivation, daily routines, effort, mental health .. and now look at a chronically homeless person as if every habit they’ve spent a life time developing have been erased completely off their habit chalk board.. What would you recommend as a doctor or a counselor or a loved one now? What would your expectations for this person be for the next 30 to 90 to 180 days ? What responsibility’s could they really be given ? When getting dressed in the morning with out outside stimulus becomes a major chore. This is just the first part in my self-proclaimed ground breaking discovery as to why the homeless crisis is just getting worse … is it worth a chat ? I hope so! Please Dr. Peterson .. I believe I’ve cracked one of the biggest nuts our society has been struggling with over the past 15 to 20 years .. I’m 46 years old .. when I was high school dropout and my grandmother forced me to get my GED I did an IQ test at the Spokane community college were I took the GED test the last grade I had completed was 7th grade .. I was 17 and scored a 135 .. I believe I have figured something profound and deeply simple .. and away of fixing it ..RIGHT NOW..TODAY..

    I discovered JBP 3 years ago
    Since then I’ve lost over 100lbs,
    Mentally & emotionally I am in a stable and increasingly secure place,
    No longer suicidal,
    I am writing and am going to start school this year to be a special education teacher,
    I am currently going through a divorce where for 18 years I suffered every type of abuse you can name and I have my moments where things get unbearable but bc of JP I am getting through it in a very healthy way.
    I don’t know if you see this comment but that’s a small list of so much I am grateful to you for JP. I had no one in life to help me in positive ways and I took on those lectures and videos hours on hours and it’s done so much in my life I have your books and can’t wait to get the new one 👍🏼

      The adults who were in our lives when were children influenced our expectations implicitly and explicitly, for good or ill, and usually both. We may think our expectations change as we get older and become our own, but the dye has been cast. We will always be trying to please someone else if we don't recognize what's going on and do the difficult work of charting and setting out on our own course.

Those are nonsense feelings that serve no one good. And don't be worried about other people and what they think, you can always use them to your own advantage as you should because that is what most people do anyway.

    Facts! When I was in prison I went through the initial intense withdrawal for opioids (mainly dope). Although, when I was released I still suffered from PAWS (post acute withdrawal syndrome). I sought clinical help and the director noticed potential in me that I could not see for myself. So he took me under his wing and told me "Jake, first take one day at a time, and then when you overcome individual days, take it week by week, and then month by month. Eventually, you'll look back and realize that you've been clean for years". He was suggesting that I take incremental steps like JBP describes.
    Well, let's just say that I've been clean ever since I took his advice, over 11 years ago. I say this, not to brag. The main thing I wish anyone takes away from my story, is that you too can defeat whatever seemingly unshakable demon that torments your soul.

    Of all life's problems, this is the one that crushes my soul. I was given so many gifts, told I have those gifts over and over, and wasted my entire life up to late middle age, ultimately on addiction and the total annulment of life's riches. Those gifts were as nothing compared to the negative core beliefs that were instilled within me. To begin from scratch with a broken body and mind, heavy with regret, is not an easy thing to do, no matter how many tools and insight there are available.

    It's especially bizarre to see young people in their 20s comparing each other in the most specific of ways and i see it often. One is 23 and he's crowing that the other is making 4% less money at age 25 while the other is angsty because he's 22 but the other two were already [meaningless title of a job position] and he wants to be 7% more by the time he's this and that. Holeeeee shit they have no idea how utterly nonsensical and pointless and foolish nothingness that is. 1000 peculiar twists and turns will happen 1000 times in their lifetimes up and down, one launched to poverty to be launched back up, another will be on fire for a minute, later 1000 XYZs will move the sandbox around and so on and so on. They go on like it matters so specifically and it's really just weird.

      @KobeR JP mentioned in a previous video that, in previous generations, 15-18 was the most awkward period in a person's life. Think Catcher in the Rye or any 80's coming of age movie. But in recent decades, 18-25 year olds have felt the most stress, thanks to a combination of delayed marrying, college debt, hyper competitive job markets, and skyrocketing housing costs. It's funny but I feel way more "teenage angst" now than I ever did in high school. Just the joys of growing up I suppose!

    @TheBartExperience Před 3 lety +37

    Learning that progression is made in incremental steps has transformed my life in so many ways. Because of what we are exposed to every day I was always under the impression that I need to do and have everything and it all needs to happen and be gotten right now, all the while being so overwhelmed with not being where I wanted to be that I made no progress at all. Progress is also not measured by how well you perform - you can't expect yourself to perform better and better each day, rather, each days' efforts compound; for example, three days from now you will have 3 days of effort more added to your work than you did today and that is what makes you better, not that you got more work done than you did yesterday. Otherwise, you can 'not work yourself' into last week in terms of progress and that's greatly demoralising.
    P.S, great interview, Dr Jordan looks much better in this interview than when he first came back, really great to see!

    i listen to jordan peterson a lot, i have been doing it for the last 4 years, read his books and all that, watched him live and everything and everyone associates me with him, when my friends hears the name jordan peterson they think of me because i talk about him a lot. The problem and question is my life is miserable, my situation is tragic , i tell the truth rather than lie, i have a very strong character, but most things i don't think i really implement it in my life, like i still compare myself to others and i cry about it so hard because i failed unviersity, i still keep going and trying, but like everyone graduated, have a job, financially stable and i'm 10 times backwards. Why have i not implemented jordan petersons teachings even tho i've listened to him for so many years, watched all his videos and all that, does it mean i dont truly understand or what? If i did implement his teachings i wouldnt end up in my situaition i am today.

    My word! This touched me so deeply.
    I knew you shouldn't compare yourself to others, especially based on social media. Easy to say but something else entirely when you're feeling all small and setback.
    "You watch the highlight reel of other people's success on social media but have the front row seat to all your failures and limitations..." most of which, you alone know about.
    "No one else has the same set of opportunities and limitations as you."
    Yours is a unique situation.
    "They", are really not out there judging you, it's just you.
    Don't be an unfair judge, don't be unkind.
    Take your daily steps forward no matter how small. Have faith and patience.
    This video answered some questions I didn't know I was asking and that's a step forward. It's exciting!

    The incremental gain he talks about in your life reminds me of first starting to lift weights. I did a popular program called Starting Strength, where you just start with the bar. If you can do that you add 5lbs the next time, and if successful 5lbs the next, and so on. If you fail you remove 25% of the weight and start the process over. In a surprisingly short amount of time you can achieve your goal, as long as you are disciplined.

Can't keep a good man down they say. He's proof now for his followers you can make a comeback from rehab and attempted character assassination too so leading by example.
