They've seen you say and do different things. They are sure that you at least believe what you do. So that has more innate authenticity value to them to imbibe.
Today at the breakfast table my 4,5 year old daughter told me somthing somewhat strange and I made a face when I heard it. She immediately did that face back at me, half consciously. :)
And never remove the sweatglands from your armpits because you’re self conscious about how much you sweat. Let it flow like water. Fools will laugh at me but the wise will understand
Lee grew up in Oakland where he challenged everyone he thought he can beat up. It was his way of telling his victim, I hope you have the strength to endure a beating from me. I was lucky to have gotten out of his way.
*"Rule 12 - Pet a cat when you encounter one on the street"* This one really hit me in the strangest way. I recently lost my best friend, my dog, and I was absolutely heartbroken because of it. One day I was walking aimlessly in the streets, like I many times did with my dog, when a random cat caught my gaze and came towards me. The only thing that I could do was the most obvious one: I petted it. After a few minutes, we both went our way. I don't know how or why that happened, but it truly was like a ray of light piercing through the dark clouds of my mind. It made me realize that, despite death and sadness, life can still go on and offer moments of shining beauty.
Losing a pet that is family as is the case with everyone, it’s a big hit on the family and one that takes a lot of time of getting used too of them not being their, but as the saying goes time is a healer but you don’t notice such a thing till you lose someone you love dearly. All the best 👍🏼.
*Rule 08 - Tell The Truth* -- I've been doing that for so many years. Not a single lie. I don't go out telling other people what I think of them, that is being rude. I answer SPECIFICALLY what they asked for, not more, not less. If for some reason I don't want to answer the question, instead of lying I have a trick that is super complex to normal people, I say "I really don't wanna answer that, if that's ok for you." and ta-da, we change topics. I'm not saying it's easy not to lie in a world where people expect you to lie, but with therapy and courage, you can. I learned that every time I lie, I'm being ashamed of who I am.
"I learned that every time I lie, I'm being ashamed of who I am." - I like that line. I think valuing to tell the truth has been one of my most beneficial qualities, greater that my intelligence or congeniality. As I've gotten older, I've found it harder to not deceive. I have come across people who will look for ammo against me and use partial truths as basis for lies against me. It is then hard for me not to lie in order to hide such truths. I also fear that I lie to myself more than I realize. That may be the biggest challenge to be truthful. Overcoming that necessitates having others in my life who love me and value truth. So many of us construct stories to uphold our own sense of worth and it might be a lie to think I am not vulnerable to that as well.
Stuart Hall I’m amazed at how you described your experience with this topic. I can understand this so much better because of your words. Especially the people who construct ammo with partial truths. Thank you.
When someone answers you "I really don't wanna answer that" and they say that because they don't want to lie to you, then you know exactly what their answer was.

@@davidgrosvenor1 Unfortunately, when anyone tries to distill ALL of the best ideas/rules for an entire lifetime, that apply to everyone for every culture and every situation... it takes creative and sometimes confusing wording to cover it all.
I remember reading this book like 25 years ago. Remember him talking about having the power to choose who lived and died in the concentration camp based on how he ladelled the soup (IE, if he scooped from the bottom the person would get more vegetables and meat but if he scooped from the top they would only get broth and there wasn't nearly enough to go around so he made the choice to give the veggies to the people that looked the healthiest. Wow. I can't imagine having to make that choice and then actually doing it.)
Rule number one is one I've often told my daughter and her friends when they where younger. Learned it from my grandfather, always stand and walk like you like yourself. It will attract good people and make bad people think twice about messing with you. Teaching the same to my grandkids.
MY LATE DAD ALWAYS SAID THAT GET YOUR SHOULDERS BACK FUNNILY ENOUGH AFTER THE SHITIEST TIME OF MY LIFE THE LAST 5 YEARS A PERSON SAID THAT U KNOW BY THE WAY U WALK & YOUR MANNER U CAN HANDLE YOURSELF I WAS LIKE WOW MY DAD WAS RIGHT ....
For all the kindness, passion and sincerity you’ve been giving out for many years, and especially to young men who feel alienated or confused, I hope you are also reaping a harvest of goodwill, love and appreciation Dr. Peterson.
An adage I made up many years ago goes like this " you can have anything you want in this life.... If you have focus, motivation and follow through......"
@@jochenstossberg5427 I see your someone easily confused and taking things out of the contextual meaning. I can help provide a misplaced contextual meaning for you. Take your stick that mommy helped you put the marshmallow on. And sit next to your uncle he's there to help. It may burn. It may fall off into the ash or fire uncle Bob always makes extras. He'll give you his. So get right in there with confidence beside the others, my confused little man. Know that you're going to be fine. No need to thank me. I like making the world a better place. God bless. Have a good day.
This reminds me of this one new testament bible verse saying something similar: No temptation[a] has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted[b] beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted,[c] he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.(1 Corinthians 10:13)
Jordan Peterson, one of my most sacred Heroes!!! My Heroes DONT wear capes, my heroes speak Wisdom, promote kindness and tolerance, and best off all, THEY SHARE THEIR KNOWLEDGE so that we all get to have a better personal life!! They Make a difference in the world!!! All my blessings I love you and I am so grateful for for your existence in my reality!!!❤️❤️❤️
I used to come here and listen to these videos at nights whenever I felt alone or perhaps lonely. It was a relief from time to time but I've come to a conclusion by the time. "Life is as meaningful as you fulfil yourself" That is why you get sad or mad and literary seeking for peace, putting your concern at ease and you trying trying and trying but you often break down and crawl toward distractions like p*rn, s*x, or cigar and any other sorts of addiction which it could even be eating food or not carrying about self and then, at the end of the day you feel impurity, defiled, self-loathing. We're all different but still yet have similarities. Make mistakes as soon as possible. Then you'll start learning and bettering yourself and Be unique and stay better. Love you, love yourself. Beloved
Currently reading your book this will be the first Book I've taken the time to read in over 10 years jordan has helped me so much in my life and overcome so many Things from porn addiction smoking alcoholism anxiety depression insomnia break ups and betrayl of friends and family members i dont think i would be alive without him and i can say that whole heartedly. He made me brush off scars like ash untouched and im walking threw the Fire with a smile on my face as a monster transforming into the hero.
Just finished the book, and came here for a little recap .. the changes I've made via wisdom through this book are already manifesting themselves in daily life.
Hi! I have bought the book and started to read it. I follow JP on RUclips and i don't need to emphasize how good his lectures are. But, I had a question for you. A lot of places, JBP references some story from Bible or somewhere and I have not read Bible. How did you tackle that? Did you just google it?
Read a digital copy. Now I have the hardcover in my library, going to revisit the book once I finish a book I’m reading. I remember reading the book’s after word or “coda” very impactful 🙏🏻
Let's hear some examples of the manifesting, nothing is changing apart from your perception that's it best of luck in that illusion that Peterson believes in.
11:50 Rule 12 made me a believer. Funny enough, my cat looks 95% like this cat and she is my world. Smartest and most loving sweetie. I found her when she was 1.5 weeks old, runt of litter, abandoned, and dying. She came at a time I was at my lowest. I never realized it until now, 5 years later - that she made me such a better person. Always there when I needed someone, and something to take care of. I am a better person because of her - as well as many other things
It's funny that you mention not to interfere with their skateboarding. When my son asked for one, I purchased one for him. Minutes after he rode it he broke his arm. After a cast was placed upon him I asked him how he felt about the incident. He said something like "I should have been paying attention." Which I responded that I was happy that he learned this lesson.
I relate a lot with Rule 6 as I created a channel to help other people, I get daily messages thanking me on Instagram.. but my life started to fall apart and so stoped making videos to take care of myself first. Can't help others if not first I help myself. Learned the hard way!
love jordan..he has tough love to apply on self and others....love blinkist ..thank you ...to buy this book and read takes time.to pick jordans brain and take notes in a few min is great#!#
"The world is a very hard place and it's a bitter place in many ways. And it's not only a hard and bitter place it's also touched with betrayal and malevolence and that's the fundamental bottom line. But there's something in you that is capable of taking that full on and transcending it." ~ Jordan Peterson
Taking responsibility in life is absolutely fundamental! With it will come challenges or challenging situations, but doing it will help you live a good, meaning and ultimately positive life, even if it's difficult
Exactly. I'm 25 now and when I was younger I used to always try to run away from responsibility and I used to feel like a piece of shit. I have finally understood that we need to responsibility to be full in life
The words of this man, Tony Robins, and many others are so, so needed and important at this moment in history. He's exposing the potential in all of us to demand greatness without ourselves, not to blame the world, not to fix the world while your own house is in chaos. Why can't people like this be the leaders of our country instead of the clowns that actually are? These people will lead and will lead by example. A true example for the confused, meaningless lives of others screaming at the world around them for their own inadequacies. Dr. Peterson, don't ever stop...you are making a difference. Thank you.
“I have a lot of potential that I’m not actually realizing and that actually constitutes a transgression against the good” wow, simple but transformational
I listen to this every morning and incorporate this knowledge into my life and family. Already seeing tremendous changes in everything and everyone I value.
But where is the line between coaching them and letting them figure out themselves how to do things. Kids need to understand what is expected of them before they can do it.
My father made me to independent. I remember when I was about 10 years old there is a girl that was bullying me and I want my dad to come in and protect me but he refused and he says go fight your own battles because there's going to be a time when I won't be there for you and that happened at a early age in my life.. I lost my parents when I was under 21 years old.. And I had no siblings I could depend on I grew up very fast I lost property and a house that was willed to me because of a crooked lawyer I became very independent to the point that it's very hard for me to accept any help from anyone especially being an only child.
I'm similar. My parents n fiancee died when I was 25 yo. I hv 1 order brother that is perfect 😊 frfr. I finally reached a point that trusted that sun rose and sat every 24 hours, literally. So I trusted if I stayed alive tomorrow was coming n that was my first light n got much much better each day after. I have a perfect life today 😊
My one rule for life is to always do my best. It has served me well -- a kid from a poor family who became an Eagle Scout, editor of his high school and college paper, managing editor of a 10-newspaper chain and then creator and publisher of a successful ski magazine before retiring to a life of golfing, sailing and skiing at 58.
Love the part on rule 12 when he talks about shortening the time frame to days then hours then minutes. By a loved one's death bed, that's exactly what you do. Give every ounce of love and presence and positive life force you have into that minute, that moment, because it's only a moment and the moment's gone. But that's how you find joy in sorrow. That's as close as we ever come to God.
For many years my husband tried to convince me to start listening to Jordan Piterson. I wasn't so impressed in begining. After a lot of talking with people in help center for depression I decided to take a book and read it. After this 2 books I changed everything. I start a new job. Cut bad relationships even with my husband. He wasn't expected that but in book I found answers for some things that I was thinking that I am wrong and silly, so it became clear how much I was under bad influence off some close people and how they manipulated me to believe that my point of view was wrong. Thank you Mr Jordan Piterson for all good explanation in books. They helped me to come back to myself and to respect my self. Wish you all the best.
A thing that I always remind myself - If I want to change or aspire to make a difference, then it starts with me. It's far easier to campaign hate than love and much even normal to just coast through life than go after your goals. Instead of being that person who laughs at someone's failures and keeps asking how someone got the perfect end-result, I'll always be on the other side of the coin who struggles and thrive for the better.
what is so brilliant about him? He is just a seller, a good one. Nothing he said, especially here in his book isn`t new or brilliant. Pet a cat, let your child ride a skate!? Common, ask a child to tell you about his philosophy and you will here something similar. He is just an advertiser, selling books and talking what you want to hear. Nothing special about him. I am here because someone recommended this book, and I am sceptical, because I know what he sells, but I respect that person who recommended me. Now, I am sure, I am not going to read it. Positive psychology is for women and people who cannot bare the truth, the life, as it comes. And what is that, if you don`t tell the truth, at least don`t lie? There is no middle, like if you don`t say it, it is ok. No, it is not, you have to say something, and it better be the truth. Yes, truth hurts, but if you are strong, you will take it. If you are a pussy, read positive psychology, but it will never help you. I will go back to Andrew Tate, because he is real, this guy isn`t.
#5 is a really tough one for me. I have a son with autism, and I work with children, who have behavior disorders. Nearly all of the parents whose children I have worked with struggle with #5, because our children have difficulty conforming to social norms. We have to shift our feelings about what is appropriate and likable about our children when they have profound disabilities. If we do not, we will certainly dislike them. Sadly, those around us, who do not know our families, may not shift their ideals, and when this happens, sometimes our entire family becomes socially outcast.
Outcast? Jesus opened His heart and arms to those who were treated as outcasts. You are in the center of the heart of Jesus and very much loved! God has chosen you for the extraordinarily life you are doing daily. No one understand your daily challenges but God knows and is by your side. God bless you abundantly!
There's a lot more information about autism now than there was a generation ago, enough for someone on the functional side of the spectrum to understand what's different about them and learn how to understand social cues and modulate their behavior. The world is "neurotypical" and it's unreasonable, not to mention unfair, to expect the majority to redefine the norm so people outside it feel better. People have a duty to be kind to those who are different but if those who are different don't undertake to learn how to interact normally with others, they will always be outsiders and never fully participate in life. Harsh but true.
@@texasred2702 ..."if those who are different don't undertake to learn how to interact normally with others, they will always be outsiders and never fully participate in life." You do not see that some are incapable of learning how to interact normally. I know from experience. Despite the years of intense training, my severely disabled adult child has been shut out.
Peterson is excellent at summarizing complex content effectively and succinctly. He does so in this audio for an entire book in just 14 minutes. His room to improve is to state things in a positive instead of negative way.
Jordon my life’s work is beginning again. I had stopped for the last 10 years. Now 62 and losing my 18 year old daughter, Finale Jaeger. She went on snapchat and found fake fentanyl pills to deal with a knee operation she just had. She was DEAD in the morning on 12-08-21. The grief has made me a different person. And now I have true drive to help others dealing with this crisis. I also want to address the mentally ill people and how we treat them. I really enjoy listening to you and it’s been very helpful. Thank you for all your hard work…
Love rule 4, in the era of social media, we tend to compare ourselves to others. So listening that we r to avoid jealousy and resentment, I took a break from social media and felt wayy better. Thanks Jordan
Just found Dr. Jordan PEterson. This is the first book i have just ordered, be here tomorrow. my excitement to embark on this new pathway of reading excites me.
Rule 3 is incredibly under rated. We constantly do the opposite of this, subconsciously. We surround ourselves with people who make life easy. People whom we begin to resent for the same reason. Ego is a hell of a drug.
I am finding myself more and more engrossed into Jordan Peterson and his descriptions of life. The connections he helps make for me is mesmerizing. Great looking video.
Rule #8 - TELL THE TRUTH: I agree with most heartily. I have violated that in my past for two reasons: The first because I was lazy and the truth took effort and discipline. I have worked hard to eliminate that character defect and made huge improvements. The second is to protect someone, or something of value, from damage. I have resolved that there will be little to no adjustments made to that ethos.
#1. Stand up straight with your shoulders back: Slouching often happens on the people who are shy and less confident. It happens to myself and my teenager daughter except I'm now gaining more and more conscious about it and will correct myself whenever I realize I fall back to slouching position, but she still doesn't put any effort into it despite I have reminded her many many times. She was getting irritated when I was trying to remind her again and again when we walk together. Any parents here have some good suggestions on that? I, on the other hand, use her as a reminder to myself not to slouch because it really looks awful. So with her standing by my side, I will always remember to stand up straight. I guess that's a silver lining.
Rule 12: “...in the narrowing time frame...in minutes... [that you have remaining] when you are up against the wall...[so, before that]… Take the time to appreciate everything you can that manifests itself, that allow itself to be appreciated.” Spiritually speaking, that’s when you are one with your world, and are nothing less or need anything more. Those intoxicated by their youth do not appreciate life’s last hour that comes inexorably as they squander time that would have been better used for self discovery. I have been on that journey of self discovery in the last four decades. It hasn’t been a smooth journey because there were not as much resources back then, but the struggle has been worth it. I have been challenged and have surmounted the obstacles on way to feel today I am worth it.
I genuinely feel better after watching this. I can't put my finger on the reason why. But I suspect it maybe the fact that it touches very deeply on the two key matters. One being 'meaning' and the other being 'focus'.
Make friends with people who want the best for you. This is the strongest advice for any Indian person. Too many backstabbers, very few innocent strong people. But the innocent strong ones are who help us the most in life.
Very important rule bind your ambition with humility. Everyone has ambitions to be successful but we should know the difference between right and wrong first.
Excellent presentation. Sure, Jordan did the heavy lifting, but choosing the videos, presenting the text and music selection can greatly impact the message. Anyone who’s done this, particularly about something important that can benefit society, knows it’s not as easy as it looks sometimes. Thanks for your contribution.
Rule 3 stuck out to me. Make friends with people who want the best for you. Simple enough, but it was his commentary . . . If done correctly, this won't make your life easier or more pleasant. If done correctly it will make your life more difficult as your TRUE friends will demand the very best from you. Solid.
I remember I had to do a presentation in front of the class and 5 seconds in the Instructor stopped me and told me to stand up strait , shoulders back . I became an instructor for a couple of years and would say the same thing to my students. That was 30 yrs ago , Stress , life and aging pulls you down and forward so I keep reminding myself to be conscious of my posture .
Dr. Peterson: I actually HAVE met someone whose parents made them too independent. They let the child run free and undisciplined and unsupervised from a young age. In my observations over several years of this child, this resulted in the child becoming very insecure. I suppose it was because the child was thinking, "Well, who's watching out for me? I'm responsible for myself and my own survival." This seemed to be terrifying to the child (and rightfully so) and resulted in the child regressing to thumb-sucking at an "advanced" age among other fears.
I ended up picking up "Twelve more rules to life" not realizing that there was a book before it. This video was a great summary and I am surprised to see that these rules have many ties to Stoicism intertwined with Christianity. I feel like now I can enjoy the book I picked up after really internalizing these rules in the video. Thanks for posting. Be good to yourself and be good to others.
like dude are you for real? This is a summary from the author himself, the pinnacle of all summaries and not even comparable to some guy skimming through a book and posting his brief interpretation to it, which might not even be correct.
@@litrecords7099 To each his own. I prefer listening to audio books from the author, summaries are pretty good too. Just in general, I liked this channel and thought it was at its best when it was just putting out animated book summaries. But that was years ago.
@@shabazz7776 Jordan Peterson? Name one racist statement and/or action this man has ever made. You can't because he's not. You heard it somewhere from someone who is too feeble to handle facts and regurgitated it didn't you? You may want to do some research and begin thinking for yourself before you slander people.
Reasons for Envy is needed: Envy is generally considered to have negative effects on individuals and society, as it can lead to feelings of dissatisfaction, resentment, and sometimes even malicious behavior. However, some studies suggest that experiencing envy can also motivate people to work harder, improve themselves, and strive for greater success. In this sense, envy can be seen as a form of inspiration or drive.
It's funnily ironic that Kierkegaard's philosophy rings true for this video. This entire video is a direct product of a world that demands a nice and easy readable summary of Peterson's book. Maybe the time will come where people will yearn to entirely read his book as a step towards difficulty. I don't mean disrespect to the video, but it's interesting to consider.
Struggling today with life. Listening to different things by you has got me through today. I wondered if I was no longer here how long would it take for anyone to realize. My mother suicide she wasn't found for days. Listening to this Now. Thank you
Your life isnt about others, but about YOU. ❤️ Keep going bro, because you deserve to feel good after things you surely went through. Life is hard, but you can make it better for yourself. Focus on growth. Believe in you mate. 💪
I am here for the 12 minute 14 minute comment :D On a serious note: One of the best books you can read (or preferably, listen to and hear the emotion while Jordan Peterson himself narrates it)
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my RUclips channel 3 months ago about self development. Now I have 241 subs and almost > 95 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.
I wish my parents hadn’t sheltered me as much, and that they had encouraged and guided me more. Thankfully I have still had a successful life and overcome these things - with a pinch of social anxiety. I will make sure I encourage and guide my child, and give him independence.
My parents have constantly discouraged any form of betterment. They did it not because they didn’t see potential. They didn’t want me to fail at anything. As a rebellious teen. I did everything the opposite.
❤you changed my life today .❤ I needed this ❤ I stared immediately looking around my kitchen ( how can I make it better , then my face ( make up ) then my room ( make my bed and give away unused clothing )…then upstairs …( give away sons clothes that he isn’t using ( he’s at college )…
I just finished listening to the audio book of JP's 12 Rules for Life and I must say, this short video was more beneficial than the entire book. I read a review from someone who said there were a few too many religious references in the book, which I wasn' too keen on. However, I assumed it would be sparingly so I got the book anyway. Disappointingly, around 90% of the entire book is constant bible references and metaphors. Not even exaggerating. I felt like I was listening to a preacher just reciting stories from the bible and metaphors in an attempt to explain the rules being discussed. I have been watching JP content for a while now and very much enjoy it, however the book was, for lack of a better word, terrible in my opinion. If anyone is thinking about buying it, and you are not christian, don't bother. Watch this short video and you'll get more benefit from the 12 rules.
In our nations folclore there is a lot of idioms which highlights the importance of these rules... For example "The lier can be catched on sooner than the invalid dog." or "The good priest learns till his death.". We tend to use these idioms so often. The wisdom of the idioms are so efective and short answers of the most important questions of life. You may use them, Mr Peterson. I recommend you. This culture of speaking in idioms has to be revealed.
Ideologies are substitutes for true knowledge, and ideologues are always dangerous when they come to power, because a simple-minded I-know-it-all approach is no match for the complexity of existence. -Jordan Peterson
religions are ideologies, therefore they are not knowledge. Religion = superstition. The Bible = a fantasy-fiction book with talking trees and talking animals. There's no evidence that anything supernatural exists at all o.O
My parents made me too independent. I grew up with no rules which gave me many difficult years. This might have been avoided if I had more guidance.i had to go the the school of hard knocks. I learned from mistakes that hurt me and others. My decision? Guidance is love.
12 rules for life here as a blinklist production of 14 minutes is way better than the book. Quick, no fat or filler, relevant, vital. thanks Blinklist.
“I’ve got some good news … and I’ve got some bad news,” the lawgiver yells to them. “Which do you want first?” “The good news!” the hedonists reply. “I got Him from fifteen commandments down to ten!” “Hallelujah!” cries the unruly crowd. “And the bad?” “Adultery is still in.
In deed...it is much more complicated as those rules! The whole dimension that the scientist dont want to understand. As Einstein said: scient is very Depending from his researcher and his own capacity of understanding.
In to accordance of the life I imagined 3 years ago. I am more in the middle , or as some would say in the journey of what I imagined. Speak what you want and go after it; And don’t stop for anyone or anything! Become unconscious to the feeling of pain and the thought of failure. Life is to short to not go after your dreams.

*"Rule 12 - Pet a cat when you encounter one on the street"*
This one really hit me in the strangest way. I recently lost my best friend, my dog, and I was absolutely heartbroken because of it. One day I was walking aimlessly in the streets, like I many times did with my dog, when a random cat caught my gaze and came towards me. The only thing that I could do was the most obvious one: I petted it. After a few minutes, we both went our way. I don't know how or why that happened, but it truly was like a ray of light piercing through the dark clouds of my mind. It made me realize that, despite death and sadness, life can still go on and offer moments of shining beauty.
@@netanelbruh1975 What was the point genius? Whilst the cat is a metaphor, in this case OP has taken the beauty of that moment.
This sharing is so beautiful 💜
Treat yourself like someone you cared for; Do what's meaningful Not what's Expident 💯
Losing a pet that is family as is the case with everyone, it’s a big hit on the family and one that takes a lot of time of getting used too of them not being their, but as the saying goes time is a healer but you don’t notice such a thing till you lose someone you love dearly.
All the best 👍🏼.

*Rule 08 - Tell The Truth* -- I've been doing that for so many years. Not a single lie. I don't go out telling other people what I think of them, that is being rude. I answer SPECIFICALLY what they asked for, not more, not less. If for some reason I don't want to answer the question, instead of lying I have a trick that is super complex to normal people, I say "I really don't wanna answer that, if that's ok for you." and ta-da, we change topics. I'm not saying it's easy not to lie in a world where people expect you to lie, but with therapy and courage, you can. I learned that every time I lie, I'm being ashamed of who I am.
"I learned that every time I lie, I'm being ashamed of who I am." - I like that line. I think valuing to tell the truth has been one of my most beneficial qualities, greater that my intelligence or congeniality. As I've gotten older, I've found it harder to not deceive. I have come across people who will look for ammo against me and use partial truths as basis for lies against me. It is then hard for me not to lie in order to hide such truths. I also fear that I lie to myself more than I realize. That may be the biggest challenge to be truthful. Overcoming that necessitates having others in my life who love me and value truth. So many of us construct stories to uphold our own sense of worth and it might be a lie to think I am not vulnerable to that as well.
"Not a single lie"...lol..
You just lied right there. :D
@@lancemarchetti8673 But, did you get Pedro's message at all?
Stuart Hall I’m amazed at how you described your experience with this topic. I can understand this so much better because of your words. Especially the people who construct ammo with partial truths. Thank you.
When someone answers you "I really don't wanna answer that" and they say that because they don't want to lie to you, then you know exactly what their answer was.

@@davidgrosvenor1 Unfortunately, when anyone tries to distill ALL of the best ideas/rules for an entire lifetime, that apply to everyone for every culture and every situation... it takes creative and sometimes confusing wording to cover it all.
“When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.”
― Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning
This is one of my favourite books, Victor Frankl's message has influenced, my life and music greatly. Thanks for the reminder.
I remember reading this book like 25 years ago. Remember him talking about having the power to choose who lived and died in the concentration camp based on how he ladelled the soup (IE, if he scooped from the bottom the person would get more vegetables and meat but if he scooped from the top they would only get broth and there wasn't nearly enough to go around so he made the choice to give the veggies to the people that looked the healthiest. Wow. I can't imagine having to make that choice and then actually doing it.)
❤️
Rule number one is one I've often told my daughter and her friends when they where younger. Learned it from my grandfather, always stand and walk like you like yourself. It will attract good people and make bad people think twice about messing with you. Teaching the same to my grandkids.
Thank you for the advice Eric!
That's probably why people who were looked down on by their parents attract bad people, in a nutshell.
MY LATE DAD ALWAYS SAID THAT GET YOUR SHOULDERS BACK FUNNILY ENOUGH AFTER THE SHITIEST TIME OF MY LIFE THE LAST 5 YEARS A PERSON SAID THAT U KNOW BY THE WAY U WALK & YOUR MANNER U CAN HANDLE YOURSELF I WAS LIKE WOW MY DAD WAS RIGHT ....
walk like stand like you like yourself. so profound.
For all the kindness, passion and sincerity you’ve been giving out for many years, and especially to young men who feel alienated or confused, I hope you are also reaping a harvest of goodwill, love and appreciation Dr. Peterson.

This really resonated and motivated me so much when I heard it.
Thank you, JP.
So does that mean that should you see a fire, you should go right in there filled with confidence and know that you're going to be fine?
@@jochenstossberg5427 I see your someone easily confused and taking things out of the contextual meaning.
I can help provide a misplaced contextual meaning for you. Take your stick that mommy helped you put the marshmallow on. And sit next to your uncle he's there to help. It may burn. It may fall off into the ash or fire uncle Bob always makes extras. He'll give you his. So get right in there with confidence beside the others, my confused little man. Know that you're going to be fine.
No need to thank me. I like making the world a better place. God bless. Have a good day.
This reminds me of this one new testament bible verse saying something similar:
No temptation[a] has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted[b] beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted,[c] he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.(1 Corinthians 10:13)
Jordan Peterson, one of my most sacred Heroes!!! My Heroes DONT wear capes, my heroes speak Wisdom, promote kindness and tolerance, and best off all, THEY SHARE THEIR KNOWLEDGE so that we all get to have a better personal life!! They Make a difference in the world!!! All my blessings I love you and I am so grateful for for your existence in my reality!!!❤️❤️❤️
Very well spoken.
I used to come here and listen to these videos at nights whenever I felt alone or perhaps lonely. It was a relief from time to time but I've come to a conclusion by the time. "Life is as meaningful as you fulfil yourself"
That is why you get sad or mad and literary seeking for peace, putting your concern at ease and you trying trying and trying but you often break down and crawl toward distractions like p*rn, s*x, or cigar and any other sorts of addiction which it could even be eating food or not carrying about self and then, at the end of the day you feel impurity, defiled, self-loathing. We're all different but still yet have similarities. Make mistakes as soon as possible. Then you'll start learning and bettering yourself and Be unique and stay better. Love you, love yourself. Beloved
I hope you are out of the den darknight. It's difficult going out ... but it's possible.
Currently reading your book this will be the first Book I've taken the time to read in over 10 years jordan has helped me so much in my life and overcome so many Things from porn addiction smoking alcoholism anxiety depression insomnia break ups and betrayl of friends and family members i dont think i would be alive without him and i can say that whole heartedly. He made me brush off scars like ash untouched and im walking threw the Fire with a smile on my face as a monster transforming into the hero.
Congratulations!!! Way to go!
God used him to heal you. I give thanks to Yahweh
Just finished the book, and came here for a little recap .. the changes I've made via wisdom through this book are already manifesting themselves in daily life.
Hi! I have bought the book and started to read it. I follow JP on RUclips and i don't need to emphasize how good his lectures are. But, I had a question for you.
A lot of places, JBP references some story from Bible or somewhere and I have not read Bible. How did you tackle that? Did you just google it?
SANKALP SHUBHAM JBP does a good job explaining all of that in his book 👍🏽
@@talha6164 Ohk, thanks for the response.
Read a digital copy. Now I have the hardcover in my library, going to revisit the book once I finish a book I’m reading. I remember reading the book’s after word or “coda” very impactful 🙏🏻
Let's hear some examples of the manifesting, nothing is changing apart from your perception that's it best of luck in that illusion that Peterson believes in.
11:50 Rule 12 made me a believer. Funny enough, my cat looks 95% like this cat and she is my world. Smartest and most loving sweetie. I found her when she was 1.5 weeks old, runt of litter, abandoned, and dying. She came at a time I was at my lowest. I never realized it until now, 5 years later - that she made me such a better person. Always there when I needed someone, and something to take care of.
I am a better person because of her - as well as many other things
I miss Jordan Peterson. His wisdom is much needed in our world right now.
What do you mean ? You miss him?
🙏🏻 he’s posted an update very recently. Haha just realized we are Davids in this thread. Be well.
He's back!
He’s back Davids
He is making a comeback after an unbelievable medical problem dealing with prescribed benzdiapines. Thank God!
It's funny that you mention not to interfere with their skateboarding. When my son asked for one, I purchased one for him. Minutes after he rode it he broke his arm. After a cast was placed upon him I asked him how he felt about the incident. He said something like "I should have been paying attention." Which I responded that I was happy that he learned this lesson.
I relate a lot with Rule 6 as I created a channel to help other people, I get daily messages thanking me on Instagram.. but my life started to fall apart and so stoped making videos to take care of myself first. Can't help others if not first I help myself. Learned the hard way!
I hope you are okay 🥺
love jordan..he has tough love to apply on self and others....love blinkist ..thank you ...to buy this book and read takes time.to pick jordans brain and take notes in a few min is great#!#

"The world is a very hard place and it's a bitter place in many ways. And it's not only a hard and bitter place it's also touched with betrayal and malevolence and that's the fundamental bottom line. But there's something in you that is capable of taking that full on and transcending it." ~ Jordan Peterson
Profoundly said. Thanks, sir. You have helped me in many ways to remember things I know. I hope that makes sense to you. 😉👍♥️
Dr. Jordan Peterson 's 12 Rules for Life and his lectures are like a bible that I need to have a look at every month or week.
It's core tenets are inspired by THE Bible.
Taking responsibility in life is absolutely fundamental! With it will come challenges or challenging situations, but doing it will help you live a good, meaning and ultimately positive life, even if it's difficult
Exactly. I'm 25 now and when I was younger I used to always try to run away from responsibility and I used to feel like a piece of shit. I have finally understood that we need to responsibility to be full in life
The words of this man, Tony Robins, and many others are so, so needed and important at this moment in history. He's exposing the potential in all of us to demand greatness without ourselves, not to blame the world, not to fix the world while your own house is in chaos. Why can't people like this be the leaders of our country instead of the clowns that actually are? These people will lead and will lead by example. A true example for the confused, meaningless lives of others screaming at the world around them for their own inadequacies. Dr. Peterson, don't ever stop...you are making a difference. Thank you.
“I have a lot of potential that I’m not actually realizing and that actually constitutes a transgression against the good” wow, simple but transformational
I listen to this every morning and incorporate this knowledge into my life and family. Already seeing tremendous changes in everything and everyone I value.
This book arrives at my doorstep next week and I’m so pumped
Sooo, did you finish it yet?
About raising the children
Don't do anything for anyone they can do it themselves ,
Really good advice .
that is 100% correct. Stop wiping your kids shit, make them clean after themselves ASAP
Too many children are infantilized and over-protected
But where is the line between coaching them and letting them figure out themselves how to do things.
Kids need to understand what is expected of them before they can do it.
My father made me to independent. I remember when I was about 10 years old there is a girl that was bullying me and I want my dad to come in and protect me but he refused and he says go fight your own battles because there's going to be a time when I won't be there for you and that happened at a early age in my life..
I lost my parents when I was under 21 years old..
And I had no siblings I could depend on I grew up very fast I lost property and a house that was willed to me because of a crooked lawyer I became very independent to the point that it's very hard for me to accept any help from anyone especially being an only child.
Thanks for your honesty...but there are those out there that you can trust that can help you in your journey. Don't close all doors.🍁
I'm similar. My parents n fiancee died when I was 25 yo. I hv 1 order brother that is perfect 😊 frfr. I finally reached a point that trusted that sun rose and sat every 24 hours, literally. So I trusted if I stayed alive tomorrow was coming n that was my first light n got much much better each day after. I have a perfect life today 😊
My one rule for life is to always do my best. It has served me well -- a kid from a poor family who became an Eagle Scout, editor of his high school and college paper, managing editor of a 10-newspaper chain and then creator and publisher of a successful ski magazine before retiring to a life of golfing, sailing and skiing at 58.
Still single Joseph??
Shoutout to u
Love the part on rule 12 when he talks about shortening the time frame to days then hours then minutes. By a loved one's death bed, that's exactly what you do. Give every ounce of love and presence and positive life force you have into that minute, that moment, because it's only a moment and the moment's gone. But that's how you find joy in sorrow. That's as close as we ever come to God.
That was deep bro .
For many years my husband tried to convince me to start listening to Jordan Piterson. I wasn't so impressed in begining. After a lot of talking with people in help center for depression I decided to take a book and read it. After this 2 books I changed everything. I start a new job. Cut bad relationships even with my husband. He wasn't expected that but in book I found answers for some things that I was thinking that I am wrong and silly, so it became clear how much I was under bad influence off some close people and how they manipulated me to believe that my point of view was wrong. Thank you Mr Jordan Piterson for all good explanation in books. They helped me to come back to myself and to respect my self. Wish you all the best.
A thing that I always remind myself - If I want to change or aspire to make a difference, then it starts with me. It's far easier to campaign hate than love and much even normal to just coast through life than go after your goals. Instead of being that person who laughs at someone's failures and keeps asking how someone got the perfect end-result, I'll always be on the other side of the coin who struggles and thrive for the better.
We are fortunate to have a brilliant mind like Jordan Peterson at a time like this in history.
I may not have much information to go on, but I know I’m having a difficult time in the modern age. It seems reasonable that many others also are.
what is so brilliant about him? He is just a seller, a good one. Nothing he said, especially here in his book isn`t new or brilliant. Pet a cat, let your child ride a skate!? Common, ask a child to tell you about his philosophy and you will here something similar. He is just an advertiser, selling books and talking what you want to hear. Nothing special about him. I am here because someone recommended this book, and I am sceptical, because I know what he sells, but I respect that person who recommended me. Now, I am sure, I am not going to read it. Positive psychology is for women and people who cannot bare the truth, the life, as it comes. And what is that, if you don`t tell the truth, at least don`t lie? There is no middle, like if you don`t say it, it is ok. No, it is not, you have to say something, and it better be the truth. Yes, truth hurts, but if you are strong, you will take it. If you are a pussy, read positive psychology, but it will never help you. I will go back to Andrew Tate, because he is real, this guy isn`t.

9. Assume that the person you are listening to knows something you don't.
@@zoel86 And Dr Peterson appears to know something that will teach/help all of us. Brilliant mind as he is a perpetual student.
@@Msloverawfood agreed
#5 is a really tough one for me. I have a son with autism, and I work with children, who have behavior disorders. Nearly all of the parents whose children I have worked with struggle with #5, because our children have difficulty conforming to social norms. We have to shift our feelings about what is appropriate and likable about our children when they have profound disabilities. If we do not, we will certainly dislike them. Sadly, those around us, who do not know our families, may not shift their ideals, and when this happens, sometimes our entire family becomes socially outcast.
Outcast? Jesus opened His heart and arms to those who were treated as outcasts. You are in the center of the heart of Jesus and very much loved!
God has chosen you for the extraordinarily life you are doing daily.
No one understand your daily challenges but God knows and is by your side. God bless you abundantly!
Never cast pearls before swine.
There's a lot more information about autism now than there was a generation ago, enough for someone on the functional side of the spectrum to understand what's different about them and learn how to understand social cues and modulate their behavior. The world is "neurotypical" and it's unreasonable, not to mention unfair, to expect the majority to redefine the norm so people outside it feel better. People have a duty to be kind to those who are different but if those who are different don't undertake to learn how to interact normally with others, they will always be outsiders and never fully participate in life. Harsh but true.
my brother has down syndrome and at work seems like people joke around about people who were born that way without there control . the world is mean
@@texasred2702 ..."if those who are different don't undertake to learn how to interact normally with others, they will always be outsiders and never fully participate in life." You do not see that some are incapable of learning how to interact normally. I know from experience. Despite the years of intense training, my severely disabled adult child has been shut out.
Peterson is excellent at summarizing complex content effectively and succinctly. He does so in this audio for an entire book in just 14 minutes. His room to improve is to state things in a positive instead of negative way.
This was an incredible read and very beneficial when applied in life.
Highly recommend it
Yeah, need to work to implement these.
Jordon my life’s work is beginning again. I had stopped for the last 10 years. Now 62 and losing my 18 year old daughter, Finale Jaeger. She went on snapchat and found fake fentanyl pills to deal with a knee operation she just had. She was DEAD in the morning on 12-08-21. The grief has made me a different person. And now I have true drive to help others dealing with this crisis. I also want to address the mentally ill people and how we treat them.
I really enjoy listening to you and it’s been very helpful. Thank you for all your hard work…
Love rule 4, in the era of social media, we tend to compare ourselves to others. So listening that we r to avoid jealousy and resentment, I took a break from social media and felt wayy better. Thanks Jordan
Yeah. I got to try this now.
Just found Dr. Jordan PEterson. This is the first book i have just ordered, be here tomorrow. my excitement to embark on this new pathway of reading excites me.
worth it??????
The purpose of life is finding the largest burden that you can bear and bearing it.
Jordan B. Peterson
Rule 3 is incredibly under rated.
We constantly do the opposite of this, subconsciously. We surround ourselves with people who make life easy.
People whom we begin to resent for the same reason. Ego is a hell of a drug.
🚀 RULE 7 / Pursue what is meaningful (not what is expedient) Understanding Urgent VS Important is a life long journey!
Probably the best gift my parents gave to me and my brothers was they never bothered us while we skateboarded.
Love Jordans philosophical approach to psychology. If only more people listened to him, the world would be a better place
This guy speaks so clearly, it's amazing how some don't understand this.
I am finding myself more and more engrossed into Jordan Peterson and his descriptions of life. The connections he helps make for me is mesmerizing. Great looking video.
Rule #8 - TELL THE TRUTH: I agree with most heartily. I have violated that in my past for two reasons: The first because I was lazy and the truth took effort and discipline. I have worked hard to eliminate that character defect and made huge improvements. The second is to protect someone, or something of value, from damage. I have resolved that there will be little to no adjustments made to that ethos.
This man touches my soul .
He touches your what!?
this saved my life
#1. Stand up straight with your shoulders back: Slouching often happens on the people who are shy and less confident. It happens to myself and my teenager daughter except I'm now gaining more and more conscious about it and will correct myself whenever I realize I fall back to slouching position, but she still doesn't put any effort into it despite I have reminded her many many times. She was getting irritated when I was trying to remind her again and again when we walk together. Any parents here have some good suggestions on that? I, on the other hand, use her as a reminder to myself not to slouch because it really looks awful. So with her standing by my side, I will always remember to stand up straight. I guess that's a silver lining.
Continue to show your daughter by example. Surely it will sink in one day. She will thank you for that later.
Rule 12: “...in the narrowing time frame...in minutes... [that you have remaining] when you are up against the wall...[so, before that]… Take the time to appreciate everything you can that manifests itself, that allow itself to be appreciated.”
Spiritually speaking, that’s when you are one with your world, and are nothing less or need anything more.
Those intoxicated by their youth do not appreciate life’s last hour that comes inexorably as they squander time that would have been better used for self discovery.
I have been on that journey of self discovery in the last four decades. It hasn’t been a smooth journey because there were not as much resources back then, but the struggle has been worth it. I have been challenged and have surmounted the obstacles on way to feel today I am worth it.
I genuinely feel better after watching this. I can't put my finger on the reason why. But I suspect it maybe the fact that it touches very deeply on the two key matters. One being 'meaning' and the other being 'focus'.
I miss my Dad. He worked hard to be a better person. You remind me of him. Thanks Dr Peterson
Make friends with people who want the best for you. This is the strongest advice for any Indian person. Too many backstabbers, very few innocent strong people. But the innocent strong ones are who help us the most in life.

Where does one find such friends?
It is not so easy to understand who they are...this is actually very bad advice!
I have friend who want best out of me.I am extremely grateful for that.
Very important rule bind your ambition with humility. Everyone has ambitions to be successful but we should know the difference between right and wrong first.
Excellent presentation. Sure, Jordan did the heavy lifting, but choosing the videos, presenting the text and music selection can greatly impact the message. Anyone who’s done this, particularly about something important that can benefit society, knows it’s not as easy as it looks sometimes. Thanks for your contribution.

Old but gold, hope I could know this sooner so that I could cope with tough times with an easy mind
Jordan Peterson is one those who influenced me the most. I love the way he looks into issues, analyzes them and try to find practical solutions.
Rule 3 stuck out to me. Make friends with people who want the best for you. Simple enough, but it was his commentary . . . If done correctly, this won't make your life easier or more pleasant. If done correctly it will make your life more difficult as your TRUE friends will demand the very best from you. Solid.
I'm glad I bought this book, can't wait to read it.

I remember I had to do a presentation in front of the class and 5 seconds in the Instructor stopped me and told me to stand up strait , shoulders back . I became an instructor for a couple of years and would say the same thing to my students. That was 30 yrs ago , Stress , life and aging pulls you down and forward so I keep reminding myself to be conscious of my posture .
Dr. Peterson: I actually HAVE met someone whose parents made them too independent. They let the child run free and undisciplined and unsupervised from a young age. In my observations over several years of this child, this resulted in the child becoming very insecure. I suppose it was because the child was thinking, "Well, who's watching out for me? I'm responsible for myself and my own survival." This seemed to be terrifying to the child (and rightfully so) and resulted in the child regressing to thumb-sucking at an "advanced" age among other fears.
I ended up picking up "Twelve more rules to life" not realizing that there was a book before it. This video was a great summary and I am surprised to see that these rules have many ties to Stoicism intertwined with Christianity. I feel like now I can enjoy the book I picked up after really internalizing these rules in the video.
Thanks for posting. Be good to yourself and be good to others.
😷 Always putting out great content, but man I miss the animated book summaries.
This is not great content. Its from a racist

Reasons for Envy is needed: Envy is generally considered to have negative effects on individuals and society, as it can lead to feelings of dissatisfaction, resentment, and sometimes even malicious behavior. However, some studies suggest that experiencing envy can also motivate people to work harder, improve themselves, and strive for greater success. In this sense, envy can be seen as a form of inspiration or drive.
It's funnily ironic that Kierkegaard's philosophy rings true for this video. This entire video is a direct product of a world that demands a nice and easy readable summary of Peterson's book. Maybe the time will come where people will yearn to entirely read his book as a step towards difficulty.
I don't mean disrespect to the video, but it's interesting to consider.

I wish my parents hadn’t sheltered me as much, and that they had encouraged and guided me more. Thankfully I have still had a successful life and overcome these things - with a pinch of social anxiety. I will make sure I encourage and guide my child, and give him independence.
This man is a genius 💯👌
My parents have constantly discouraged any form of betterment. They did it not because they didn’t see potential. They didn’t want me to fail at anything. As a rebellious teen. I did everything the opposite.
Rule 10 is my favorite. As a stoic it is spot on with my personality.
Do you recommend reading Meditations of Marcus Aurelias?
@@LourencoJJN I have that book, but have not started it. I believe it’s also on RUclips, someone reads it.
❤you changed my life today .❤ I needed this ❤ I stared immediately looking around my kitchen ( how can I make it better , then my face ( make up ) then my room ( make my bed and give away unused clothing )…then upstairs …( give away sons clothes that he isn’t using ( he’s at college )…
I just finished listening to the audio book of JP's 12 Rules for Life and I must say, this short video was more beneficial than the entire book.
I read a review from someone who said there were a few too many religious references in the book, which I wasn' too keen on. However, I assumed it would be sparingly so I got the book anyway.
Disappointingly, around 90% of the entire book is constant bible references and metaphors. Not even exaggerating. I felt like I was listening to a preacher just reciting stories from the bible and metaphors in an attempt to explain the rules being discussed.
I have been watching JP content for a while now and very much enjoy it, however the book was, for lack of a better word, terrible in my opinion.
If anyone is thinking about buying it, and you are not christian, don't bother. Watch this short video and you'll get more benefit from the 12 rules.
Thank you but how about his new “12 more rules for life” book?
@@nottoksic Haven't seen that one so couldn't tell you.
@@markreid3929 np thanks buddy
In our nations folclore there is a lot of idioms which highlights the importance of these rules... For example "The lier can be catched on sooner than the invalid dog." or "The good priest learns till his death.". We tend to use these idioms so often. The wisdom of the idioms are so efective and short answers of the most important questions of life. You may use them, Mr Peterson. I recommend you. This culture of speaking in idioms has to be revealed.
Ideologies are substitutes for true knowledge, and ideologues are always dangerous when they come to power, because a simple-minded I-know-it-all approach is no match for the complexity of existence.
-Jordan Peterson
religions are ideologies, therefore they are not knowledge. Religion = superstition. The Bible = a fantasy-fiction book with talking trees and talking animals. There's no evidence that anything supernatural exists at all o.O
My parents made me too independent. I grew up with no rules which gave me many difficult years. This might have been avoided if I had more guidance.i had to go the the school of hard knocks. I learned from mistakes that hurt me and others. My decision? Guidance is love.
I just got his book, its awsome!!
12 rules for life here as a blinklist production of 14 minutes is way better than the book. Quick, no fat or filler, relevant, vital. thanks Blinklist.
“I’ve got some good news … and I’ve got some bad news,” the lawgiver yells to them. “Which do you want first?”
“The good news!” the hedonists reply.
“I got Him from fifteen commandments down to ten!”
“Hallelujah!” cries the unruly crowd. “And the bad?”
“Adultery is still in.
Yeah they just stopped an orgy with the golden calf, that they had been having for the last part of the 40 days. They had moved on. lol
@Ann Love yeah I heard him.
😀🌷
Dr. Jordan Peterson, who opens the path to increase more Mental Patients. Psychiatric industry will forever be grateful to you!!
Amazing summary of this
I got goosebumps when he said Rule 1 , What a book man 👏🏻👏🏻
“The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing” - Socrates
In deed...it is much more complicated as those rules!
The whole dimension that the scientist dont want to understand. As Einstein said: scient is very Depending from his researcher and his own capacity of understanding.
Exactly!! So Aim for sanctity, or aka unconditional love!! Aim for Wholiness!! For the Love you were created For that your soul yearns for. 🕊🙏🏻
WHY DOESN’T HE SPEAK LIKE THIS IN THE BOOK! IT WOULD BE SO MUCH EASIER TO UNDERSTAND!
In to accordance of the life I imagined 3 years ago. I am more in the middle , or as some would say in the journey of what I imagined. Speak what you want and go after it; And don’t stop for anyone or anything! Become unconscious to the feeling of pain and the thought of failure. Life is to short to not go after your dreams.
Really loved the last rule ❤️
11 makes me laugh.
