I'll argue Jordan Peterson looked on his own personal issues with his addiction, and despite his reputation potentially taking a hit, despite all of the people who'll inevitably bash him for his weakness, he realized he needed to take care of himself first so he could build himself up better than before. That takes courage, even if he was suffering personal demons before. He's actively practicing what he preached, and I hope he'll recover so he can not only continue giving us amazing universal advice, but also so he can become a better, happier, person.
He is quitting some of the hardest medications to quit. The withdrawl can actually kill you if you rapidly come off of it. To put it into prespective, getting off cocaine would be a walk in the park in comparison. Even heroin is easier to get off
@Psychonaut if you knew anything about medications you would know if you're on a high dose of that stuff you dont just get off it easily. But it is kind of bizzare he went to russia.. he could have just tapered himself over a long period of time, i dont understand why he would need to go through such an extreme situation for something that can be solved by a really slow taper
This man is brilliant. Literally brilliant. And he’s using it to change my, and I’m guessing so many others lives. I cannot express enough gratitude for your existence Dr. Peterson.
"You cannot negotiate if you don't have any power." This man helped me just the other day with a situation at work. Resume is next and thinking of interview. Thanks Dr. Peterson!!
I adore this man!! He's an incredibly gifted communicator who always wants people to live their best. How can you dislike such a person? Domari Nolo *III*
MyCatFooed If you weren't asking rhetorically, the main reason I have for generally disliking his ideas is that his position on truth and to a significant extent peripheral topics is fundamentally based upon irrelevant factors such as emotional benefit rather than objectivity (for examples see his discussion with Sam Harris). There are all sorts of problems that such a thought process will cause, because in essence you'll be forced to choose between cognitive dissonance or a worldview that is based upon arbitrary factors in hopes of avoiding unpleasantness. In other words he is still making the classical error of any given religious person where they can't handle the truth of life (not many people can) so they need to build less than accurate belief systems in hopes of finding emotional relief. With all that said I suspect that he's smart enough to realize all of that on some level. I wish him well.

I wish Jordon would do a video on what HEARTBREAK (a broke heart from a life experience) does to one and how is best way to handle it when you can only work on yourself in ways to deal with it.
Leona Owen He has ! And lots - his take would be that a "a broken heart" is the same as post traumatic stress. I am assuming this is because of a broken relationship / a betrayal rather than a death / loss but in either case the lack of preparedness would be the cause. If you discover that a loved one has been having an affair what you actually discover is that you didn't know the person you've been with, that therefore you didn't know yourself - that all the memories you have now don't exist in the way in which you created them - you're plunged into chaos and the underworld, Have a look though hid personality lectures and the early chaos and order / tragedy vs evil lectures , there are so many lectures where he does go over and discusses what you mention. Good luck putting your model of the world back together again but it will have to start with you - it will be you who wasn't ready to deal with the tragedy of the world and will need to strengthen yourself!
Bessel van der kolk also mentions heartbreak a lot in his book "the body keeps the score". He also focuses a lot on (post stress) trauma. I would agree with the idea that a real heartbrake is (somewhat) traumatic, and has similar components. and hence tools to progress through it.
You've genuinely helped me put things together properly, I need your guidance and reminders less and less as I apply your advice to my life. I can't thank you enough for putting together your videos, you've had such a profound positive impact on my life.
I’ve been viewing anxiety as excitement. There are different levels to anxiety but it usually starts mild for me. This mild anxiety is noticeable when it arises which allows me to become aware of it quicker before it consumes me. By viewing it as excitement the extreme cases don’t arise anymore or not as much.
At 6:45 is currently my biggest problem in life. For example, I hate being late but I end up late, I have high standards for my grades but I don’t study. I really do need help and he said the answer is to act consistently but it’s very hard.
I know it’s been 4 years and I hope you doing great ! But I face the same problem and I tried to do little improvements day by day, until it becomes a habit. Your spirit is ready but the flesh is not. Fight against it and it will lose power ! All the best and may God bless you ❤️
This guy will live through history amongst the greats of all time. He is an absolute treasure. To be alive at the same time as him is unbelievable to me.
Got his book on the way to me, can’t wait to read it. First book I’ll have read in years but he’s so interesting im looking forward to it quite abit more than I thought I would.
MyCatFooed I haven’t no I’ve just been watching a lot of his content and lectures online and have decided I should buy the book and give it a read as well.
So thankful that Dr Peterson decided to rise out of the ashes. Him being rejected by specific communities has allowed him to help millions of people. Grateful
I'm so happy to have found Jordan Peterson. When I clicked the suggestion from RUclips I almost didn't watch it, I'm happy he could catch my attention because he's had such a positive impact on my life. I hope he's doing well and getting better
He's not kidding about aging twenty years in ten. Living a high anxiety lifestyle for a prolonged period of time--and managing it badly--destroys your physical health.
Exactly. Look what happens when you have a heavy meth habit for 10 years, constantly in fight or flight mode, overstimulated. the aging is ridiculous, chronic stress has similar effects although its kind of reversible to a point
This man has helped so many. I wish him well soon. Under the eye of the world/media no doubt he will get attacked for his ( what they may call weakness ) but I'm hoping that the same fighting spirit that he has shown previously to the world will allow him his return. He's practicing what he preached - amazing . And to anyone who read of his news with delight - WELL!! NEVERMIND!! I don't argue with fools - they've had to much practice. ALL THE BEST TO JORDAN AND FAMILY XXXX
To be sure, I am always in such awe of Professor Peterson’s insights and observations! Wow! What a superiority gifted man! I’m immensely humbled by his knowledge.
Thanks dr. Peterson! Please get well soon. This planet is endlessly grateful for your work. You have fixed our life... Our room and our head. You have told us how to save planet and why we need to raise our children to be daring scateboarders, active listeners, "social lobsters", and we'll mannered rational parents of our grandchildren. Thank you!
Dr.Peterson, you have done me and millions around the world a tremendous service with your lectures. May God bless you and keep you alive. We need you doctor.
Whats so valuable about it? Im mean thats just a definition of a problem. You can a problem, fix it! Thats common knowlage, whats so special about that
Noting every instance of problems at work is genius... When I brought up being mistreated by my boss at my previous job, he asked me to give examples and I didn't have any off the top of my head.
@Psychonaut - Family is chronically ill. - He is chronically ill. - He is a psychologist with the burden of hundreds of people's problems weighting on his conscience and even more thousands that tell him practically on a daily basis how tragedy filled every-day people's lives are. - He has bloated in popularity resulting one of the most toxic groups of the world wishing him and his family constant pain and suffering with little of his collegues to stand by and fight with him. - And THEN his wife he loves more than anything in the world is diagnosed with cancer. There are popular people who have been going into therapy and have been taking meds for less than half of the worldly woes befallen him. But yeah, he is a weak man. What responsibilities have you shouldered? You comfortable, sheltered worm? Fuck you.
@Psychonaut I don't think it always is, and I don't think he espouses that perspective. Put yourself in his shoes for a minute and see how a medication might not be tempting. And I'm not even sure that's his case regardless.
I’m struggling to understand why some folks really do dislike Jordan a great deal. And among them are not just simpletons, but well-educated and rather clever individuals as well. Talking to them and reasoning in order to try to persuade them to see Jordan for who he truly is-a brilliant, well spoken intellectual and a decent human being with a positive message-alas, just doesn’t seem to work. For them, he’s some sort of ideological enemy, for lack of a better term. Those of us who support Jordan simply have to accept that his views are not for everyone. And that’s OK.
when you’re being stalked and surveilled for years and years..it takes a while to figure out..then it’s a matter of getting out of the trap you’ve landed in, nothing else matters...
This one video has done more benefits for me than any other psychologist I’ve spoken to or any anxiety book I’ve read lol. Anyone know if he’s doing ok?
Anxiety over not being able to pay one's bills can't BE overcome. And that is the situation in which so many people on planet earth are trapped. Those who are wealthy have their own reasons for being anxious ... and one of the major reasons ... is ... losing the source of income.
"People who spend time writing carefully about themselves become happier, less anxious and depressed, and physically healthier." You mean, like a journal? I tried that once when I was a kid, never really clicked. Are there other options I do to do this?
Recording yourself is pretty much the easiest way to document your day-to-day life. Doesn't have to be perfect, just record your every thought, every idea about pretty much everything that bothers you or inspires you. Start with your phone, and if you really want to share your thoughts... buy a microphone and put it on RUclips. 9 times out of 10 you will find a community of people that have the same thoughts you do... it's amazing really.
Probably easier to do things without anxiety. Lacking focus causes more problems than just anxiety. Nothing else matters beyond what you are doing in this moment. Can't really control anything else. Why worry about it if you have no power over it.
Your possessions, property and promises are an extension of the self - a less attached arm or leg. Those things in conjunction with your experiences is the painters pallet from which you make a difference to those around you while you exist. its a shame that your experiences are interred with your bones and barely can be transmitted to others.
I'm angry because I get to the "oh what's the use." There's just so much going on negative right now. Guess you can relate and you also know we cannot give up!
Actually that’s true I been playing my stupid psychiatrist like damn fiddle cuz those I met are easy to be exploited lol, sadly none I met can correctly diagnose my split personality yet
@@jesss8922 Nope, it's performative contradiction. He's uses that phrase a few times throughout this lecture series. Listen to what he says prior, it's an action, so performative and it contradicts the point being made. Hence, performative contradiction. Take care.
i really like what he says usually, but theres one flaw in his logic (or missing point). if you do what he says during the 1st minute. yeah you have a huge dragon behind you, but the one in front of you doesnt magically disappears. so now you have double or more the anxiety. and if youre in a tough situation where you cant really escape or move forward. then is inner hell for a long time. People who really have troubles (or trauma) do not choose to be afraid or worried (demonstrated even at brain/neuronal level). so the proposition is not THAT useful, since you don't really have a choice to not worry/being anxious, or what to worry about, even. it's very useful for people who needs direction or motivation, yes. but won't help with the worry/anxiety by itself, nor it will help removing the original fear, nor help people with trauma. Doing things "despite the fear" could be traumatizing as well. Also i don't agree when he talks negatively about anger. Anger is a very healthy needed response to perceived pain/unfairness, the problem is not being able to channel it properly. Also specially since he mentioning Jung and integrating our emotions, as well as "you need to be able to hold a large stick and talk softly" (there's some anger there, or the promise of it). I think Peterson would agree with me, since he's been called "angry" a lot of times, and has spoke about being assertive, and integrating your shadow. I've heard him many times saying something like: you need to be capable of the worst but be in control. How are you gonna do that by not engaging with it? how are you going to integegrate something that you're constantly dismissing or suppressing? After all he studied about tyranny, i wonder how would you oppose to that without some level of anger? i think our culture has a big problem demonizing anger and pathologically overfocusing on joy. Anger could be biologically toxic when experienced constantly, but what's the cost of suppressing anger, or even not being able to show anger/assertiveness when necessary? (Read about trauma and cptsd) A lot of people is stuck on trauma (or even hurtful experience) because they're not able to process their emotions properly and hence integrating the experiences. And that includes anger and sadness. Pete Walker and Bessel van der kolk have nice books about it. (BTW there's a difference between being angry, and acting out unjustly or violently, i'm not talking about the latter). PD: if Peterson reads this: i'd really like if you could interview Bessel van der kolk.
Easier said then done. Thought I could trust people when I talk about stuff. Now this person knows what I said about her. My work environment, everyone at my job just like yea your here if I don't say anything, no one talk to me, because of what I said about this person It really sucks. I hate my job, I am a joke.

Winston Smith Good luck buddy! I wish all the best!
Always having options is HUGE in negotiation, and a way to have many options is to become as competent a person as you can
That is a fantastic idea. Have your anxieties chase you rather than let them paralyze you. Be more scared of inaction than action.
Psychonaut I think the idea is if you let it chase you, eventually you’ll out run it
Psychonaut ever heard of a physical addiction bud.

nope nope what’s the point? Writing is easier, you can go through all of it without LISTNING through all of it, more convenient.
I like to listen to lectures like this & just write down the quotes or ideas that resonate with my self.
Probably easier to do things without anxiety. Lacking focus causes more problems than just anxiety.
Nothing else matters beyond what you are doing in this moment. Can't really control anything else. Why worry about it if you have no power over it.
I have suffered a lot of stupid pain.
I missed you man !!!
*Be more scared of inaction versus action*
Your possessions, property and promises are an extension of the self - a less attached arm or leg.
Those things in conjunction with your experiences is the painters pallet from which you make a difference to those around you while you exist.
its a shame that your experiences are interred with your bones and barely can be transmitted to others.
I'm angry because I get to the "oh what's the use." There's just so much going on negative right now. Guess you can relate and you also know we cannot give up!
Actually that’s true I been playing my stupid psychiatrist like damn fiddle cuz those I met are easy to be exploited lol, sadly none I met can correctly diagnose my split personality yet
8:10 chaos, not order, chaos!
Grow some wings and fly
amen
Where can i find carl jung saying what he reffered? Couldnt anybody help? Iam really interested in reading that material
I love these but the adverts get so jarring half way through
My problem with this view and program is that it could make anxiety and fear your sheperd or master. I don't want to be motivated and pushed by that.
I wonder if he meant cognitive dissonance at min marker 6:47?
6:38 a 'performative contradiction'
I was thinking it was 'cognitive dissonance'
@@jesss8922 Nope, it's performative contradiction. He's uses that phrase a few times throughout this lecture series.
Listen to what he says prior, it's an action, so performative and it contradicts the point being made. Hence, performative contradiction. Take care.
Jess, from new girl?!?! Is that who's hot??!?!! If so , I agree!!!!
The only question i have about dr. petersons courses is; what are the tests like lol
Im curious too lol
i really like what he says usually, but theres one flaw in his logic (or missing point).
if you do what he says during the 1st minute. yeah you have a huge dragon behind you, but the one in front of you doesnt magically disappears. so now you have double or more the anxiety.
and if youre in a tough situation where you cant really escape or move forward. then is inner hell for a long time.
People who really have troubles (or trauma) do not choose to be afraid or worried (demonstrated even at brain/neuronal level).
so the proposition is not THAT useful, since you don't really have a choice to not worry/being anxious, or what to worry about, even.
it's very useful for people who needs direction or motivation, yes.
but won't help with the worry/anxiety by itself, nor it will help removing the original fear, nor help people with trauma. Doing things "despite the fear" could be traumatizing as well.
Also i don't agree when he talks negatively about anger. Anger is a very healthy needed response to perceived pain/unfairness, the problem is not being able to channel it properly.
Also specially since he mentioning Jung and integrating our emotions, as well as "you need to be able to hold a large stick and talk softly" (there's some anger there, or the promise of it).
I think Peterson would agree with me, since he's been called "angry" a lot of times, and has spoke about being assertive, and integrating your shadow.
I've heard him many times saying something like: you need to be capable of the worst but be in control. How are you gonna do that by not engaging with it? how are you going to integegrate something that you're constantly dismissing or suppressing?
After all he studied about tyranny, i wonder how would you oppose to that without some level of anger?
i think our culture has a big problem demonizing anger and pathologically overfocusing on joy.
Anger could be biologically toxic when experienced constantly, but what's the cost of suppressing anger, or even not being able to show anger/assertiveness when necessary? (Read about trauma and cptsd)
A lot of people is stuck on trauma (or even hurtful experience) because they're not able to process their emotions properly and hence integrating the experiences. And that includes anger and sadness. Pete Walker and Bessel van der kolk have nice books about it.
(BTW there's a difference between being angry, and acting out unjustly or violently, i'm not talking about the latter).
PD: if Peterson reads this: i'd really like if you could interview Bessel van der kolk.
Perfect time to cut that clip - Look around for something that bothers you and see if you can fix it
Rinse repeat
Easier said then done. Thought I could trust people when I talk about stuff. Now this person knows what I said about her. My work environment, everyone at my job just like yea your here if I don't say anything, no one talk to me, because of what I said about this person
It really sucks. I hate my job, I am a joke.

for some reason I feel like there is something unethical about performing psychological alchemz on yourself. It is like manipulating yourself.
Then you cant change at all.
Are there any books on using your anxiety in your favor?
Anybody know how to hack an anxiety attack?
06:36 does anyone know what the philosophilcal idea to which Jordan refers to but can't remember the name of is called? thanks :)
They pretended it was mine but it was yours and having your tongue means you never earned what they bought you on everyone else's dime. You are dying that's the easy part. You arent goingvto know til we show up but we are coming soon. We need that tongue gone to make you powerful for once. With it you have nothing anyone cares about. After your tongues gone you'll have the strongest voice on earth.
I quit breathing with my anxiety. It does not do me well!
5-22-2020 Ten thousand things in the house? I've got 10,000 things just in the first room when I come in the door. My house has no closets or shelving. It's maybe 150 years old.
0:25 he nodded in affirmation. Guess what he's saying to not make it a mantra.
Some peope aren't assertive enough to a point...and then explode like a bloody bomb going off. Some try to overcompensate for it and march in like Clint Eastwood.
I'd just end up with the dragon in front of me AND chasing behind me and end up with double anxiety.
