I just discovered him - and I think that might well be true. It is awesome to listen to someone with whom you can't escape confronting one's own reality.
Peterson is just absolutely masterful...discovering him has saved my life...thanks to u tube...he is at my fingertips everyday...I am comforted by his voice his honesty his courage & and his immense intellect provides a daily guide to my everyday life...carry on brave honest brilliant man.
Aloe Vera so true! My 18 year old niece died from cancer and before she died she forgave the two biggest monsters in her life - a mother with a narcissistic personality disorder and a father who believed blindly in the child's obligation to never question a parent, which forced her to suffer her mother's emotional abuse. Once she knew her inescapable fate, she let go of the paralysing aspects of resentment and hatred. Partly she did so because we did research on how stress is related to cancer, but also she hoped her act of forgiving them would change them for the better. Her parents continued their dysfunctional behaviour but she had overcome the suffering her parents inflicted...please don't wait to let go of resentment and anger. Do your best to do it now, for yourself!
Take on responsibility and resentment will fade. im sure he says something like that as well. And Hatred is apart of responsibility, but its also shows what you are aiming at in the responsibility if you are even. Are you aiming at the Star or everything you hate along the way to get there or that is shoved in the way you walk it.. Are you in the center of the Wheel or Being spun by all the life of suffering. Take for example, The Pain of running, or being hurt. Or Someone did something that betrayed or hurt but whats the root responsibility you are aiming at and how much does that have to do with what you are hating, and again then if it does have something related to the Responsibility. TAKE AIM Not at the Star you can do, not what cant be
The atmosphere in that lecture hall became so deep and beautifully engaged by the end. Absolutely fantastic, this is easily one of my favourite JP clips.
Peterson, you are so very insightful. I am the typical man you are speaking of. At my previous place of employment I felt like a caged animal because I did not want to be there. I have since quit, returned to school and started a business which is just starting to take off. It is so important to be able to make the choice of which responsibility and which load you want to bear. Then you can pick something truly meaningful to you. I have never had anyone explain how I felt and what I was going through in such a clear and logical manner. I did not understand what I was going through until listening to you. Thank you for helping me organize my thought patterns. You help bring meaning to my life and I have a deep respect for what your are trying to do. The world needs more men like you. For everyone's sake, keep up the good work! You're word will echo throughout the eons.
if you stop searching for the holy grail, you will enjoy life and discover it is withing you... i have a feeling JP is going for this most of the times
What else do you have to do? He makes a really good point here. You either resentfully deny life and live as if you might as well be dead, or you actually choose to live by actively taking the steps that are necessary in order to be a life confirming person. And you do this by acknowledging the necessity of suffering if you choose to live. As Albert Camus correctly stated, the only logical alternative to this is suicide. Denying yourself meaning by refusing to accept suffering is denying yourself any hope for a glimpse of happiness in this life.
Isn't it ironic that the denial of suffering brings about the ultimate suffering, and the acceptance of suffering is the path to ultimate intrinsic meaning?
"Do it Just do it Don't let your dreams be dreams Yesterday you said tomorrow So just do it Make your dreams come true Just do it Some people dream of success While you're gonna wake up and work hard at it Nothing is impossible You should get to the point Where anyone else would quit And you're not going to stop there No, what are you waiting for? Do it Just do it Yes you can Just do it If you're tired of starting over Stop giving up" - Jordan Peterson
im 26, right now im struggling.. On one side, i wish someone like him told me these things he says in lectures before, my house was full of dragons, my family is full of dragons, i got a big dragon and i cant keep peter-paning. On the other side, im glad i found this right now, i hope i can steer my life, make it meaningful, and if i fail, at least i will do it acknowledging everything and that it wasnt as meaningful as it should've been but here and there, meaning was found, given and taken.
‘Reduce the damn responsibility until it’s tolerable’. One of if not his greatest pieces of advice. How many more would get started if they realised it was okay to adopt this when making a start? I know plenty.
"So instead of aiming to be the entity without flaws, you are aiming to be the entity that realizes its flaws and tries to overcome them, and that's a game you can play forever."
Sometimes he says things that make me get choked up and I can't even explain why. My brain scrambles around uselessly to get it and my soul is just like, 'yeah, there it is'. It feels right but it's frustrating because it clicks somewhere I can't get a grip on mentally.
CA L When your mind and soul converge to feel the rightness you felt as well as grasp it by way of intellect that is when wisdom is born and has the potential to grow. You'll know how much you've internalized these insights when you look back through your developmental trajectory and notice that your cognitive and behavioral patterns have changed in accordance with this wisdom. Perhaps it is not that you lack the mental sophistication to grasp what he says, but that the most superficial aspect of your psyche, to some degree, resists such simple truths despite their profundity... Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. A lot of this self-development stuff is counter-intuitive because ppl throw a bunch of information at us in very sophosticated ways and yet it seems that the things that resonate the most deeply are the most simple reframings of existence. The holy grail of spirituality comes by unlearning. Beauty feels innate to reality once all the abstractions r removed. The truth is so simple that a thing as complex as your mind rejects it. Just some thoughts
If just one of my dozens of teachers from kindergarten to university would have had the decency to say this to me, it would have helped more than anything I've ever been taught by them combined... but alas, in the words of Jordan Peterson himself... I must "take responsibility for the catastrophe of my life"...
To what end though? Life has 3 options in my view... Escapism, trying, giving up. Even with escapism (drugs, video games, or whatever thing that distracts you from the mundane painful experience of existing). Your're left with reality right after the escape ends. Trying can only go on for so long before you start to lose sight of the point of trying in the first place.
In the first thirty seconds, he's just explained why I get bored of most albums within a week, but listen to some on repeat for years!! I never knew why that was.
"Responsibility is the ability to respond" is a quote from Milton Erickson that I learned from Steven Hoskinson, who does amazing work on healing trauma. I believe this is highly related to Peterson's point: healing childhood and intergenerational trauma that keeps us stuck in fight/flight/freeze (and therefore dis-ables us to respond to the environment) will finally enable us to again re-orient to the here-and-now and to the future (in the sense described by Peterson and in the biological, literal sense of having an online orientation response and social engagement system) and therefore make us able to respond -- responsible -- to the world that we live in. This responsibility is greatly enjoyable because 1. it is by definition a state of 'mindfulness' / being present / living in the here-and-now and 2. we re-connect with our shared humanity and we can experience the broader interdependence with all of life. Those are intrinsic and deeply meaningful experiences of connection to others that I believe invoke an irrepressible sense of compassion -- and a natural responsibility to one another.
Is one of his most useful lectures. More parents should speak to their kids like this, tell them how life actually works so they can make better good for themselves. 2:50 you don't take responsibility for things you don't accept, only for things you do accept. Intolerable vulnerability. Cain externalized responsibility for his life. Accept responsibility for the catastrophe of life and transcend it. You're strong enough to do it but just don't know it. Don't let what you are stop you from being what you could be. Aim at the star you can see. Play a straight game. A sense of meaning will elevate your pathway. Responsibility makes life meaningful. It's worth it. Paradoxically, the solution lies in the acceptance of life mortality. Summary at 13:50 15:30 you are all in it.
"...thing about being alive is that your all in. No matter what you do, this is gunna kill you. So i think you might as well play the most magnificent game you can, while your waiting. Do you really have anything better to do?" I couldnt imagine, as a current university student, a professor saying something so profound in a lecture that it would immediately take effect on my life the way this quote did.
"Use your meaning to calibrate your progress through life - but there are rules: You have to aim at the highest possible good that you can conceive!" Aim for that star, honestly and with love, baby.
I believe you thanks dear for your love you are more valuable for me in my life brought me out from all denger i have lot of peace i love me and i respect me as you said don't make fool of yourself thankyou i have my self control thank you for telling me for i got nothing to do with whom i don't have any relationship with those who are in good and bad thanks dear for your love we will not leave i believe you say and i believe thanks for all your support and encouragement words one God father son and Holy spirit i believe in you for i am experiencing your love in me for i have strength in me when I am weak lord Jesus is my strength
"All you have to give up is your resentment and hatred" I would add to that RESISTANCE. Let go and let God. The path to happiness (aka, contentment, enlightenment) greets you every day in the form of problems and challenges. Take them on and make an effort to improve the situation in some way. I believe the "suffering" we experience is merely the impetus to evolve as a species. Just as other species evolve improved characteristics and behavior, it comes through constant challenges in the environment. We're here to improve our species in some way and then die. What is so wonderful is that we are actually hard wired to enjoy overcoming the challenges. Let go of resistance and evolve. It's what you were born to do.
Every life has meaning. The sad part is because a person means nothing to me or someone else doesnt mean they have no meaning. They may mean the world to someone else. The important thing is living your life the way it makes you happy and your filling fulfilled. Don't live your life the way society says you need to so that you can have meaning. Do you. Be happy, follow your interests, enjoy your hobbies, and find those that relate.
The first few minutes when JP mentions music; I`m like damn hes exact on that: `Cavatina` (The Deerhunter Soundtrack) Which I learnt on Guitar and actually studied the hand stylizations watching John Williams play it (Live 1979 version) at the time amazed me so much I took on the challenge: Once I had `mastered` it I played it quite a lot then forgot about it: Then I went to play it on Guitar last week; as it came up recommended: I got to a mid point in it and forgot the next little nuance which locked me out of the rest of the play through: Strange.......
Heyyy other people looking for answers. Isn't it extraordinary how we're all suffering this shit at the same time, around the world. Hope you're doing better than I am. Jolly ride we've gotten ourselves into. Btw, are most folks here psychology students?
on his comment about how music needs to have that even balance between catchiness (predictability) and mystery, everybody who hasn't should listen to tool just for that whole point because they have layers, deep thick layers form the poetry to the actual instruments.
Interesting...I always think I am pretty low key and not holding resentment. But yah I have resentment to people in my life, my thing is pull away from them.
The nature of self pity extends itself to view self as victim and paradoxically target an easy patsy like a corporation to blame for all that is wrong in what ever negative view they are set on. It is, thus, a logical and rational stand to say such people ought to fix their own problems and rather dedicate time to problem solve instead of projecting out what needs to be solved in their own stance. So in between their emotional response of self desperation and the thought or idea to use the energy to solve the issue, in between thought and idea is a feeling. This is an intuitional heart felt energetic focus. It is also the most powerful survival skil in a human. In animals it is the four f's fuck, feed, fall asleep and fear, in a human it is the 'f' four-letter word: FEEL. In actuality humans tend to solve problems within by projecting and solving a similar issue on the outside, this is a very valid and predominant problem solving skill. These actions are an inception of empathy which is precursor of compassion, the one saving grace of the species. Grandly underutilized. For example, if one is lacking love and needs nurturing, one goes out and provides food and comfort for the poor, thus caring for another and nurturing a part of the self that needs to feel love and uses compassion to feel it. This is true for every creature, going beyond self, helping others to the best of one's abilities and thus perfecting those abilities, enables a human to go beyond the self and bring awareness to every part of their (his/hers/midsex') being. A meditator of ideas and possibilities may feel, for a second example, that their liberties are regulated by agendas that are most likely 'insert something negative here', he may feel that it is a conflict to have a language restricted by regulations that narrow his scope of perceived choice and protests by civil disobedience instead of going to the root of the problem, language structure itself, its origins and propose a more empathetic and compassionate solution.
When I think of having responsibility in the context he's describing I think of being a provider for a family. Now that I've started my career and have a good foundation, and sowed my wild oats and got in touch with my self, I'm ready to be a provider. Just one problem. I'm now too old to attract anyone to provide for. Guess I'll just get a bunch more cats and provide for them instead.
Just one point that needs clearing up in general: the Hindu swastika is all used all over India and Nepal, and it usually "points" the same was the Nazi swastika does. The Nazis didn't "reverse" it. I don't know what it's doing on the Buddha there at 04:28, but that's not the norm.
The image of the virgin Mary is NOT the "meaning of life" but the coming of a savior to the world who takes upon our sufferings and leads us the path to eternal life
“The answer to the problem of humanity is the integrity of the individual, that’s the answer. And states that are predicated on that Realisation are healthy, and states that aren’t are doomed to stagnation and catastrophic collapse, And Personalities that are predicated on self tyranny and the tyranny of others are doomed, and doomed to collapse, And then you think we’ll what’s the barrier, and the barrier is are you willing to accept the responsibility? And part of the answer to that is reduce the damn responsibility until it’s tolerable, you don’t have to fix everything at once, you could just start by fixing the things that you can fix, you could even do it with less self sacrificing, you could do it by fixing only the things you wanna fix, you could get a massive way that way, so do it! see what happens, that’s what you should have been taught in the University right from the beginning, aim at the highest good, tool yourself into something that can attain it, and go out there and manifest it in the world, and everything that comes your way will be a blessing, and so all you have to do is give up your resentment and your hatred, I know that that’s a hard thing to give up, because you have plenty of reason for it.” So much in such a few words, amazing work, I hope more people get this message. So let’s fix ourselves and work on ourselves, and maybe then we are ready to talk about climate change, religion, and wars and conflicts.
The ability to dislike this video is a performance of either evil or retardation, or both. roughly speaking lol for real though I found JBP at a very trying time in my life and I honestly look at him as a prophet or something. Everything he says resonates with me so deeply that I feel like he is articulating the religion of my life and he's exactly the leader I want to follow. What a beautiful man.
This guy is going to go down in history as one of the greats
The real MVP
G.O.A.T.
I just discovered him - and I think that might well be true. It is awesome to listen to someone with whom you can't escape confronting one's own reality.
If he isn't blocked and censored from every snowflake libtard-owned media outlets.
Some might say he already has.

Can you imagine having a teacher like this in college.
Chad Eklund college is dominated by feminists
If only...
I probably did, but I wouldn't have appreciated them at the time.
Most teachers are parrots of the curriculum. He truly cares and draws on so many things.
I had really good teachers at uni. Not all of them so emotionally open but it worked for the most part.
There were some horrible professors though...
"All you have to do is give up your resentment and your hatred" - That's all I've got left doc!
memento mori. at the end of your life you will wish you hadn't spent so much of it with alongside your own resentment and hatred

Can I have job? Thanks.
Richard B agreed, applies to the celebs I’ve met who are up their own thingies - it’s enlightening to find that Peterson doesn’t fit the norm.
jordan made me clean my room
Same here!!
Interesting. When asked "what is the meaning of life?" Jordan Peterson's answer is:
*A meaningful life.*
I think they cut the important part off the front lol
Of course everybody knows, life has no meaning or purpose. You just have to find some illusion of meaning and purpose you like.
if you stop searching for the holy grail, you will enjoy life and discover it is withing you... i have a feeling JP is going for this most of the times
Saying the definition of a word is not defining the word.

What else do you have to do? He makes a really good point here. You either resentfully deny life and live as if you might as well be dead, or you actually choose to live by actively taking the steps that are necessary in order to be a life confirming person.

We're now pretty sure there's no such thing as a soul. Part of your mind just understands what Jordan is saying :)
all you have to do is give up your resentment and your hatred. I know this is a hard thing to give up, because there is plenty of reasons for it ;)
“Like a termite gnawing on a temple”, what a fricken great quote. This entire lecture is phenomenal!

Sometimes it's so profound I find myself in tears. That doesn't normally happen to me.
I would of loved to have had him as a professor in college! I appreciate his candor and the way he sticks it to ya.
Jordan is an inspirational man. I don't have many heroes, but he's definitely one of mine
the sequence of the past eight videos has blown my mind. and my mind was pretty open to start.
For me, that piece of music that is somewhere in the middle = Rush. Complex, catchy, beautiful.
I thought the exact same thing
This is incredible. Thank you so much!
God only knows what Jordan Peterson meant to/for this generation, I suppose only time will tell.
When you seek happiness for yourself, it will always elude you. When you seek happiness for others, you will find it for yourself.
This man has been anointed for a good work.
To what end though? Life has 3 options in my view... Escapism, trying, giving up. Even with escapism (drugs, video games, or whatever thing that distracts you from the mundane painful experience of existing). Your're left with reality right after the escape ends. Trying can only go on for so long before you start to lose sight of the point of trying in the first place.
He's a gift to humanity
iv listent to this like 102 million times and everytime i burst into tears man .. is it normal?

My brain was exploding at the end. Most articulate defense of Western Civilization I've ever heard.
Peterson is a genius of genius. He stands on the shoulders of titans, but like all great men before him they did to.
great great great ...... thanks god unstoppable !!! only the truth can heal !!!
Is one of his most useful lectures. More parents should speak to their kids like this, tell them how life actually works so they can make better good for themselves.
2:50 you don't take responsibility for things you don't accept, only for things you do accept. Intolerable vulnerability. Cain externalized responsibility for his life.

glad to hear this at the age of 21...
These 10 minute slices of his lectures are awesome hah
it makes me cry
Ok, I have my list, and as a reward for completing x number of things on my list, I will get to watch another J. Peterson video.
Life and living, are not for the faint of heart.
"You identify with yourself? Then you are a tyrant!"
Man, that hit me too hard. Peterson really knows what might got everyone struggling.
All the best to you
This man is awesome.....Thank you!!!!
I couldn't love him more.
He reaches the height of wisdom at about 13:40- "Life is suffering. What do you do about it?"

It's like he's not even speaking English
Balance is the key.

So much wisdom to process in a single video. There should be some breaks in the video to give time to think :-D
"All you have to give up is your resentment and hatred" I would add to that RESISTANCE. Let go and let God. The path to happiness (aka, contentment, enlightenment) greets you every day in the form of problems and challenges. Take them on and make an effort to improve the situation in some way. I believe the "suffering" we experience is merely the impetus to evolve as a species. Just as other species evolve improved characteristics and behavior, it comes through constant challenges in the environment. We're here to improve our species in some way and then die. What is so wonderful is that we are actually hard wired to enjoy overcoming the challenges. Let go of resistance and evolve. It's what you were born to do.

Every life has meaning. The sad part is because a person means nothing to me or someone else doesnt mean they have no meaning. They may mean the world to someone else. The important thing is living your life the way it makes you happy and your filling fulfilled. Don't live your life the way society says you need to so that you can have meaning. Do you. Be happy, follow your interests, enjoy your hobbies, and find those that relate.
I couldn't imagine having to do this lecture 5-7 times in a day. Is he tenured enough to just have to speak this well once per day?
Jordan Peterson's brain has gone viral in a good way.
Can you recommend addiction related presentations you offer?
This dude makes too much sense!
Man I wish I was in his classes. Might actually have enjoyed uni if I was...
i have bookmarked this video
The first few minutes when JP mentions music; I`m like damn hes exact on that: `Cavatina` (The Deerhunter Soundtrack) Which I learnt on Guitar and actually studied the hand stylizations watching John Williams play it (Live 1979 version) at the time amazed me so much I took on the challenge:
Once I had `mastered` it I played it quite a lot then forgot about it: Then I went to play it on Guitar last week; as it came up recommended: I got to a mid point in it and forgot the next little nuance which locked me out of the rest of the play through: Strange.......
The purpose of life isn't happiness.
The happiness of life is purpose!
I like to think that both are viable options
I want to see the picture he looks at at 4:00 ^^

Every act of kindness grows in an exponential way. When people are victims of kindness they spread it like a virus.
"In the most meaningful moments of life, we don't stop to ask the question, 'what is the meaning of life'." Sam Harris
on his comment about how music needs to have that even balance between catchiness (predictability) and mystery, everybody who hasn't should listen to tool just for that whole point because they have layers, deep thick layers form the poetry to the actual instruments.
Sublime.
Interesting...I always think I am pretty low key and not holding resentment. But yah I have resentment to people in my life, my thing is pull away from them.
This is amazing!!
The nature of self pity extends itself to view self as victim and paradoxically target an easy patsy like a corporation to blame for all that is wrong in what ever negative view they are set on. It is, thus, a logical and rational stand to say such people ought to fix their own problems and rather dedicate time to problem solve instead of projecting out what needs to be solved in their own stance. So in between their emotional response of self desperation and the thought or idea to use the energy to solve the issue, in between thought and idea is a feeling. This is an intuitional heart felt energetic focus. It is also the most powerful survival skil in a human. In animals it is the four f's fuck, feed, fall asleep and fear, in a human it is the 'f' four-letter word: FEEL.
In actuality humans tend to solve problems within by projecting and solving a similar issue on the outside, this is a very valid and predominant problem solving skill. These actions are an inception of empathy which is precursor of compassion, the one saving grace of the species. Grandly underutilized. For example, if one is lacking love and needs nurturing, one goes out and provides food and comfort for the poor, thus caring for another and nurturing a part of the self that needs to feel love and uses compassion to feel it.
This is true for every creature, going beyond self, helping others to the best of one's abilities and thus perfecting those abilities, enables a human to go beyond the self and bring awareness to every part of their (his/hers/midsex') being. A meditator of ideas and possibilities may feel, for a second example, that their liberties are regulated by agendas that are most likely 'insert something negative here', he may feel that it is a conflict to have a language restricted by regulations that narrow his scope of perceived choice and protests by civil disobedience instead of going to the root of the problem, language structure itself, its origins and propose a more empathetic and compassionate solution.
When I think of having responsibility in the context he's describing I think of being a provider for a family. Now that I've started my career and have a good foundation, and sowed my wild oats and got in touch with my self, I'm ready to be a provider. Just one problem. I'm now too old to attract anyone to provide for. Guess I'll just get a bunch more cats and provide for them instead.
Just one point that needs clearing up in general: the Hindu swastika is all used all over India and Nepal, and it usually "points" the same was the Nazi swastika does. The Nazis didn't "reverse" it. I don't know what it's doing on the Buddha there at 04:28, but that's not the norm.
The image of the virgin Mary is NOT the "meaning of life" but the coming of a savior to the world who takes upon our sufferings and leads us the path to eternal life
Does anyone have the image he was talking about in the first 4 minutes? I want to see it and read what is on it
“The answer to the problem of humanity is the integrity of the individual, that’s the answer.
And states that are predicated on that Realisation are healthy, and states that aren’t are doomed to stagnation and catastrophic collapse,
And Personalities that are predicated on self tyranny and the tyranny of others are doomed, and doomed to collapse,
And then you think we’ll what’s the barrier, and the barrier is are you willing to accept the responsibility? And part of the answer to that is reduce the damn responsibility until it’s tolerable, you don’t have to fix everything at once, you could just start by fixing the things that you can fix, you could even do it with less self sacrificing, you could do it by fixing only the things you wanna fix, you could get a massive way that way, so do it! see what happens, that’s what you should have been taught in the University right from the beginning, aim at the highest good, tool yourself into something that can attain it, and go out there and manifest it in the world, and everything that comes your way will be a blessing, and so all you have to do is give up your resentment and your hatred, I know that that’s a hard thing to give up, because you have plenty of reason for it.”
So much in such a few words, amazing work, I hope more people get this message.
So let’s fix ourselves and work on ourselves, and maybe then we are ready to talk about climate change, religion, and wars and conflicts.
The ability to dislike this video is a performance of either evil or retardation, or both. roughly speaking lol for real though I found JBP at a very trying time in my life and I honestly look at him as a prophet or something. Everything he says resonates with me so deeply that I feel like he is articulating the religion of my life and he's exactly the leader I want to follow. What a beautiful man.
