This man saved my life. I was in and out of incarceration, a deadbeat father and a heroin addict. Now I’m a single father, clean and sober over 2 years and becoming a better man everyday and it all started with stumbling across this man on RUclips. Thank you kindly sir, you are in my prayers Jordan
I AM You 1st step to recovery - admit you have a problem. Next is to seek out support. Nearly impossible to do by yourself. I grew up in a family of addiction.
Jordan Peterson was my professor and I remember him giving us these kind of talks all the time. He was the only professor any of us actually looked forward to attending class for. I'm glad the world discovered him too
Oh man, how I wish we had RUclips back then when I was 22 years old. It's the really the internet that made all the difference plus your desire and hunger. Good for you! ☺️
Indeed it's a blessing to have discover him despite whatever age you are. If you found this in a miserable place ,this is the time to start cleaning your room.
I'm 21 and I feel so blessed and lucky to be alive, Jordan Peterson is just a God among men sent to give us clarity on challenges we face, God bless him ♥
@Psychonaut I'm 43, so there is that... but I'm sure you have much more! I can tell by the way you desire to embitter and destroy everything around you... but it won't work on me. I actually pity you, and I do have enough life experience to know you are extremely unhappy. Great username by the way! ✌
@Psychonaut really don't care what it means. And to be truthful, I am defensive when I see people trying to make this world a lesser place by their daily actions. I wish you all the best though, I truly do... and hopefully one day you'll see the light. Try taking on some true noble PERSONAL responsibility and you will be much more fulfilled in life! The great thing about this man is HE IS FLAWED, and doesn't dispute it. He is a true prophet and what he learns from going through this crisis he brought on himself will make him so much more wise to explain the meaning of life to us. I can see you don't like the message because it puts all the responsibility for life on you and me, but until you embrace that truth, you will never be truly fulfilled. God bless!✌
To anybody who's reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind. May clarity replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life.
This put me in tears. When you realize that you’re the one that is capable of ending your own suffering you become free! People are so hard on themselves, especially in comparison to others. I’ve realized over time that none of that matters, and JP is spot on when he says that all you have to be better than was the person you were yesterday. The moment you realize that is the moment you’re truly free ❤️
This man has made me into a lean learning machine. Prior to listening to him, I understood the benefits of reading, running, studying and so on. However, this man made me appreciate every single moment. I was always in such a rush, now I’m in the moment flowing through time. Thank you Dr Peterson!
I am still surprised that there are clips of Jordan Peterson I haven't seen yet. Or maybe I have seen it already.. but it's still so inspiring to listen to him
Im incredibly thankful for finding Jordan Peterson on RUclips. I had been struggling with my life and depression for about 5 years now and pretty much lost everything I had. Ive been living in a homeless shelter for a year now. I found this video at the beginning of this year and I play it almost daily to remind myself that I have the power to turn my life around. I now have a job with USPS and just got my own apartment. Ive been teaching myself to code for the last 3 months to hopefully get a job as a programmer. I honestly dont know where i would be if not for the motivation Peterson instilled in me. Thank You Sir!!
This guy really brought me out of a dark spot in my life that I’ve been able to maintain for going on almost 3 years now. I hope others find the same value in his wisdoms. I’ve listened to this every day since it came out and find new tidbits each day. Thank you for making this.
I have been in deep depression for over two years, at times suicidal, I started listening to JP & mate, he has helped me so much, the most helpful guy on the internet, thankyou JP & I thank God that he gave you to the World. Always praying for bro. ☝🏾✊🏿
"the right question is: "could you be a slightly better tomorrow than your currently flawed self?" and the answer to that is: "if you have enough humility to set the bar properly low.""
This has got me hyped at 6am. I’m flipping a house right now and it’s a ton of fucking work and I need to confront this problem head on and it doesn’t matter if it takes another month or two, I’ve got to suck it up, get it done so I can feel accomplished and do it again. I’m learning something every day and trying to get better every day
The key to psychological strength lays in the way a person encounters the world. Many people think that objective numerical figures determine everything. However this is actually not the case. Those who gain confidence only when they are fully embellished externally or when things work out smoothly, tend to be vulnerable more than anybody else. Because there are so many conditions that have to be met for bringing themselves out into the world, that are encountered with numerous obstacles in that process. On the contrary, if you have the ability to open up yourself to the world with ease, that indicates that you have mental power. Such individuals with inner confidence may not stand out at first glance, yet people tend to be drawn to those individuals and are persuaded by them. Even in moments of failure or uncertainty, they do not sway and are rather immersed with what they can do. Most of those who conceal themselves with external factors- whether it be looks or wealth - tend to break down in these situations. Those who had approached these “flashy” people realize their true faces and start distancing themselves.

There are certain things in life that are more worthy, more valuable than anything else, knowing how to help someone, supporting someone in times of need, how to be a friend, a warrior, a good human being, knowing what to do in certain situations, knowing how to do things that will make things better for yourself and others, and it all starts with you being completely honest. Truth is embedded in your heart, it is the reason why you do the things you do and the heart never lies in anything you do because you are always doing what you feel is good in your heart. Everything is connected in the world. From the way we live, the way we speak, the things we decide to do, our health, our strength, our perception, how we treat others, how much time we take to make real changes and how much time we make to better ourselves.
To anyone reading this, you're bigger than your obstacles keep pushing towards success God has believe in you... You Are A Champion!!! Do whatever it takes, to chase your dream! You can do it
This video is so GOOD....when I go to work, or throughout the day...I replay this video over & over....being better than yourself the day before....transcending yourself...
One of the toughest things is trying to follow this mindset but being dragged down by people around you who are intent on criticizing you for adopting this mindset. They attack your character, your seriousness, everything you’re doing...while they live mediocre lives and avoid responsibility. It’s hard to keep going when all these people around you are trying to discourage you.
Mr.Peterson....I can't go thru a day..an hour..without listening to your lectures.You help me. I'm broken..lost..& never have I been so empty..I want to disappear..I'm finished with this feeling. Cindy........Boston Strong
This video is a cornerstone of my life. It is the beginning of my journey of philosophy and psychology. Thank you jordan, although I have moved on from your ideas I still appreciate the message you put out there, you get people to start thinking. “You repay the teacher poorly if you always remain a student”
I was in a dark dark place for several years and could not figure my way out. I had a lot working against me but was able to start turning it around. JP definitely played a part in that. I’m maybe 10% out of the hole but I feel like a billion dollars compared to how I felt at my worst. I am absolutely dedicated to a steady path of self-improvement, both mentally and physically and it feels great to know that I’m doing everything I can do to perpetuate it. I used to aim way too high and compare myself to others so the sentiment of this video bears much significance in my journey. Good luck to anyone reading this who may be where I was a year ago.
I found this man 5 years ago and i changed a lot because of him. I was a desperate,alone and poor boy from Afghanistan but today i look at my life and say thank you God to put this person in my way in life
I’ve seen this video more times than I can fathom. And where I’m at in my life right now, it connects with me. Lying, cheating, giving up on myself, losing my composure easily, being more selfish than selfless, etc… I could blame what I’ve gone through and say it made me this way. No… It’s all on me and I have to do better. This video has done more for me when I didn’t think I’d need it like the way I do right now.
I've been listening to JP since 2017, and i think this is one of the best clips ive come across, it really hit me. Thank you for putting this together. I hope that one day I can be the Hero that I know is within me
The ending part about the house his hard. Listening to this while leaning how to do sheet rock in my house I got 7 months ago and just had to fix a roof leak yesterday. Love some Jordan Peterson.
This is Rule 4: Compare Yourself to Who You Were Yesterday, Not to Someone Else Out of all the Rules in his book, this for me is the most relatable and the one I listen to the most.
@@CuntLucifer Well, since you never knew my Grandfather, you have no foundation to say what he did, and did not teach me. As far as the amount of *likes* I receive, I could care less about that.

He's one of the most articulate men of the modern era. I could listen to him for hours on end. It would be an honor to have had him as a professor, and I hope to meet him some day!
You really don't know how and where you are changing lives around the globe. I am from South Waziristan Pakistan. I found a clip of you on TikTok where you were talking about stop talking to people who are not listening to you. I loved that very much and wanted to search for that guy and here you are. I love you. From the past few days I am listening to your speeches, several times to each. My life is changing. You are my favorite personality currently living. Love you. I will mention you everywhere if I get succeeded. You will be alive when are not here.
I’ve listened to a ton of Jordan Peterson and am currently reading his book. This is the best Video on RUclips in my opinion because it is a direct understanding of what the individual needs to do for the individual.
This video couldn't have come at a better time for me. I've been struggling with motivation, and these insights have given me a fresh perspective. Thank you!
JP is the most brilliant person on the planet in my opinion and this is literally his absolute best. I have heard thousands of hours and never something better than this
Thank you Jordan. You helped me to get my life back on right track. You helped me to touch, for a moment, limits of my inner being. You showed me dim of light in my darkest period. I am little lost at the moment but I have experience and your lectures at my disposal. Sometimes all things I have at the moment seemed so far away. But they are not anymore. I worked for them and put into practice many lessons I heard from you. They arent perfect but neither am I. I know I need tk show adequate gratitude toward them. I know that I am not everything I can and want to be at the moment, but I want to change that. Just like I already did - step by step, thing by thing, day by day. Thanks Jordan again, and thank you God for bringing this beautifull human being in my life.
@@Dany-gf9zu I'm doing badly: I failed the last year of HS, and I've been living with my father. I had no motivation to do anything, and my daily routine became one of constantly indulging my pleasures. recently, he was going to kick me out if I didn't go back and earn my HS credits to graduate, so 4d ago, I stripped my routine down to the bare essentials so I can study w/ the rest of my time. but even now,, my mind gets distracted by so many thoughts, ideas, & topics that I'm barely making progress studying... I'm just such a broken, dysfunctional person, and I feel like I'm too incompetent to even fix myself when I do have the motivation; it shouldn't be hard, but my incompetence makes it feel impossible...
@@zoklev Hey, thanks for the answer. I'm sorry to hear that. You're not incompetent, you just need to change your focus again. I highly recommend Dr Jordan Peterson, he truly changed my life. I wish you all the best in life. May you follow your dreams and gain the necessary motivation again! :) Cheers
@@Dany-gf9zu I think the problem is that there aren't enough hours in the day; if I had 48h a day, I'd prob be fine. I can do things, just my mind gets distracted so much that it takes too long to do them. what do you think I should change my focus to? I've listened to a lot of Jordan Peterson's teachings, and he's helped me get the right attitude towards life; unfortunately, I haven't successfully implemented&converted into a productive lifestyle good wishes to you too
Dios mio ya tienes 369,000 seguidores. Me da tanto gusto que compartas estos videos con tantas personas. Me da gusto que crecieras tanto. Te sigo desde hace 5 años. Gracias por tanto.
the minute you start looking at yourself honestly and make an honest, faithful attempt to rectify your wretchedness -- whether that be procrastination, speaking while angry, or whatever it is -- you IMMEDIATELY begin to feel better. The difficult part is in sticking with it. Remember those flashes of hope where you were able to do something about your dark, anxious, addicted, stupid sinfulness and formed it into light. Those moments will keep you going to the next moments. String enough of those together and in a few years you'll look back and realize that you really, truly don't want to kill yourself. That's what's happened to me. I still have a lot of work to do, so it's still happening to me, but I truly feel like I will not kill myself. Not if I have anything to say about it, which I now believe that I do.
Amen bruv. I’m aware of my faults, I do avoid things and have an incredible amount of work to do but I have managed to provide and protect my kid. Everyday is a challenge but I do feel good overall for the most part. I have negative thoughts far too often but it’s less and less. I feel that I still got fight left.
Jordan Peterson is really like an aiming up for me, thank you so much for being part of my pursuit in the meaning of life, i really love and appreciate you Sir, you remain in my prayers
My life is in plain shambles right now. Going through what could be called a "Quarter life crisis". Just turned 32, suddenly faced an existential crisis, left my now ex-fiancée (whom I care deeply about and hope she'll be OK) after 11 years together because I faced a massive wall all of a sudden. Some things were related to her and us, but most are personal things that surged and I couldn't deal with all of it. So I left. And now I'm utterly lost. Left our apartment, left her, left the city I was living in with her for more than 5 years (in another country, her country), back at my parents', back in my old bedroom, back in my country, for now. I'm an empty shell of a man. I have friends and family here, loving parents, but I've never felt so alone, the world has never appeared so big, my path has never been so blurry and uncertain, and I've never felt so lost and unsignificant. "12 rules for life" helps me. Or at least it has the potential to do so. I'm battling too many things. I know I'm in no position to claim the victimhood in the break-up, as I instigated it, but I'm utterly heartbroken, as she was and is a great person, a great partner. Not without flaws (who hasn't flaws?), some that had their slow burning effects on me, but still a great person. But I can't come back to her. Not after how I left her. I might need years before I forgive myself. For now I can't. I'm not the man she knew anymore, I'm not the man I thought I was, and I'm not the man I wish I could be. I don't recognize myself. I tried to be what I thought she wanted me to be, and I forgot myself in the process, for years. I don't know where to go, what to do. I don't know how to start over. I want to leave, explore, find myself. But I need my driving licence first, I need money as well. I'm "just" an illustrator, I don't have a high-paying skill. I feel stuck, lost and alone. But this book, it soothes, it's a caress to the soul. It's not sugarcoating things, it's honest, and necessary. I need to finish it, then read it again, and again. I need to embrace these rules, and find myself through them. I hope I will. Life is suffering, I need to find my meaning into all of it. Sorry for the rant and the awkward honesty, but thank you Dr.Peterson.
It's true that defeating yourself is like challenging your own being , yourself interfere with the positive and negative emotion ,and yourself consistent in point logical conclusion and behaviourism .God bless Professor Jordan Peterson....
If you are searching for that one person that will change your life, take a look at the mirror. If you are looking for that person you should be better than today, that was the person you saw in the mirror yesterday. If you could kick that person in the back, who is responsible for most of your problems & troubles, YOU will not sit down for a month 🖖
Indeed. I am 66 years old. In many ways, beaten down. The dreams I had wanted so much to achieve in our school where I am a teacher have been destroyed, literally, by others in the workplace. This isn't hyperbolic; it's merely description. What Dr. Peterson is teaching me here is that the harshness and malevolence of life is the norm; how can I lift myself up and transcend these circumstances? My circumstances aren't even unusual. I struggle with the bitterness and the rancor, though. The lesson is that gentle forbearance, on a foundation of focused strength, based in family and faith, is sufficient. I wish I could thank this man in person for his unceasing devotion to healing the pain of humanity.
This man saved my life. I was in and out of incarceration, a deadbeat father and a heroin addict. Now I’m a single father, clean and sober over 2 years and becoming a better man everyday and it all started with stumbling across this man on RUclips. Thank you kindly sir, you are in my prayers Jordan

The key to psychological strength lays in the way a person encounters the world. Many people think that objective numerical figures determine everything. However this is actually not the case.
Those who gain confidence only when they are fully embellished externally or when things work out smoothly, tend to be vulnerable more than anybody else. Because there are so many conditions that have to be met for bringing themselves out into the world, that are encountered with numerous obstacles in that process.
On the contrary, if you have the ability to open up yourself to the world with ease, that indicates that you have mental power.
Such individuals with inner confidence may not stand out at first glance, yet people tend to be drawn to those individuals and are persuaded by them. Even in moments of failure or uncertainty, they do not sway and are rather immersed with what they can do.

No… It’s all on me and I have to do better. This video has done more for me when I didn’t think I’d need it like the way I do right now.
I keep coming back to this video...humbling yet powerful...I've watched it like 10 times...
I've been listening to JP since 2017, and i think this is one of the best clips ive come across, it really hit me. Thank you for putting this together. I hope that one day I can be the Hero that I know is within me
Peterson does nothing but drop truth and wisdom bombs! This generation needs this wisdom!
The fact that this entire speech is from 1 talk sais a lot about how good of a speaker jp really is
still listening, once a day
Quite possibly the best video on RUclips right now, really nails it on the head!
Jordan still and always will be underrated. People do not know the weight that his words carry.
"You need to be aiming for something
and that means you're going to lesser than people
who've always already attained along that dimension"
So True
The ending part about the house his hard. Listening to this while leaning how to do sheet rock in my house I got 7 months ago and just had to fix a roof leak yesterday. Love some Jordan Peterson.
This is Rule 4: Compare Yourself to Who You Were Yesterday, Not to Someone Else
Out of all the Rules in his book, this for me is the most relatable and the one I listen to the most.
My grandfather taught me, the biggest room in the world is the room for improvement.
Amen to him telling you that 💯🙏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Haha, what a bunch of complete and utter bullshit. And a bit cringe too, to be honest.
Lucifer has more room for improvement than most people in this whole comment section.
@@CuntLucifer Well, since you never knew my Grandfather, you have no foundation to say what he did, and did not teach me.
As far as the amount of *likes* I receive, I could care less about that.
Some don’t appreciate Jordan Peterson, if this is the case then move on, it’s simple….
The key to psychological strength lays in the way a person encounters the world. Many people think that objective numerical figures determine everything. However this is actually not the case.
Those who gain confidence only when they are fully embellished externally or when things work out smoothly, tend to be vulnerable more than anybody else. Because there are so many conditions that have to be met for bringing themselves out into the world, that are encountered with numerous obstacles in that process.
On the contrary, if you have the ability to open up yourself to the world with ease, that indicates that you have mental power.
Such individuals with inner confidence may not stand out at first glance, yet people tend to be drawn to those individuals and are persuaded by them. Even in moments of failure or uncertainty, they do not sway and are rather immersed with what they can do.
Most of those who conceal themselves with external factors- whether it be looks or wealth - tend to break down in these situations. Those who had approached these “flashy” people realize their true faces and start distancing themselves.
ur channel is brilliant.
thanks, Daniel
Im shocked.... 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Spot on!
Thanks Daniel for this wonderful insight.
God Bless! Stay strong, stay safe, and take care of yourselves! Wishing everyone the best! :)
He's one of the most articulate men of the modern era. I could listen to him for hours on end. It would be an honor to have had him as a professor, and I hope to meet him some day!
This is my favorite video, the music and message always remind me of the path I’m on and transcending myself.
You really don't know how and where you are changing lives around the globe. I am from South Waziristan Pakistan. I found a clip of you on TikTok where you were talking about stop talking to people who are not listening to you. I loved that very much and wanted to search for that guy and here you are. I love you. From the past few days I am listening to your speeches, several times to each. My life is changing. You are my favorite personality currently living. Love you. I will mention you everywhere if I get succeeded. You will be alive when are not here.
Man this guy just hits home with every word he utters. He really makes me want to become better then who I was yesterday. Love from Australia
I love this man. ❤️ So much respect for him
Jordan Peterson is a gift to mankind.
I love how he makes everything he says relate to everyone. Thank you Jordan you are needed so much. He cares about everyone. Modern Alan Watts.
Jordan Peterson is a genius that was put on this earth for a reason . Thankful to be living in a time where his words are in our present days
Phenomenal wisdom from an amazing man! Get well, Jordan.
I’ve listened to a ton of Jordan Peterson and am currently reading his book. This is the best Video on RUclips in my opinion because it is a direct understanding of what the individual needs to do for the individual.
Glad to hear you liked it Will 💕🥰
Love this man ,, what a great mind and great human ! May his life be fulfil and full of love
This video couldn't have come at a better time for me. I've been struggling with motivation, and these insights have given me a fresh perspective. Thank you!
JP is the most brilliant person on the planet in my opinion and this is literally his absolute best. I have heard thousands of hours and never something better than this
Thank you Jordan! You saved my life. With your guidance, I am able to overcome my personal chaos. Things are better now.
I listen to this every single day and I am forever grateful.
Thank you Jordan. You helped me to get my life back on right track. You helped me to touch, for a moment, limits of my inner being. You showed me dim of light in my darkest period. I am little lost at the moment but I have experience and your lectures at my disposal. Sometimes all things I have at the moment seemed so far away. But they are not anymore. I worked for them and put into practice many lessons I heard from you. They arent perfect but neither am I. I know I need tk show adequate gratitude toward them. I know that I am not everything I can and want to be at the moment, but I want to change that. Just like I already did - step by step, thing by thing, day by day. Thanks Jordan again, and thank you God for bringing this beautifull human being in my life.
Thank you for being there when I was at my lowest point you helped me realize so many things so I can improve myself

@@zoklev hey! How are you doing my friend? Hopefully, you're okay
@@Dany-gf9zu
I'm doing badly: I failed the last year of HS, and I've been living with my father. I had no motivation to do anything, and my daily routine became one of constantly indulging my pleasures. recently, he was going to kick me out if I didn't go back and earn my HS credits to graduate, so 4d ago, I stripped my routine down to the bare essentials so I can study w/ the rest of my time. but even now,, my mind gets distracted by so many thoughts, ideas, & topics that I'm barely making progress studying...
I'm just such a broken, dysfunctional person, and I feel like I'm too incompetent to even fix myself when I do have the motivation; it shouldn't be hard, but my incompetence makes it feel impossible...
@@zoklev Hey, thanks for the answer. I'm sorry to hear that. You're not incompetent, you just need to change your focus again. I highly recommend Dr Jordan Peterson, he truly changed my life. I wish you all the best in life. May you follow your dreams and gain the necessary motivation again! :) Cheers
@@Dany-gf9zu
I think the problem is that there aren't enough hours in the day; if I had 48h a day, I'd prob be fine. I can do things, just my mind gets distracted so much that it takes too long to do them. what do you think I should change my focus to?
I've listened to a lot of Jordan Peterson's teachings, and he's helped me get the right attitude towards life; unfortunately, I haven't successfully implemented&converted into a productive lifestyle
good wishes to you too
Dios mio ya tienes 369,000 seguidores. Me da tanto gusto que compartas estos videos con tantas personas. Me da gusto que crecieras tanto. Te sigo desde hace 5 años. Gracias por tanto.
the minute you start looking at yourself honestly and make an honest, faithful attempt to rectify your wretchedness -- whether that be procrastination, speaking while angry, or whatever it is -- you IMMEDIATELY begin to feel better. The difficult part is in sticking with it. Remember those flashes of hope where you were able to do something about your dark, anxious, addicted, stupid sinfulness and formed it into light. Those moments will keep you going to the next moments. String enough of those together and in a few years you'll look back and realize that you really, truly don't want to kill yourself. That's what's happened to me. I still have a lot of work to do, so it's still happening to me, but I truly feel like I will not kill myself. Not if I have anything to say about it, which I now believe that I do.
Amen bruv.
I’m aware of my faults, I do avoid things and have an incredible amount of work to do but I have managed to provide and protect my kid.
Everyday is a challenge but I do feel good overall for the most part.
I have negative thoughts far too often but it’s less and less.
I feel that I still got fight left.
worth to listen again and again till his words planted in your mind....Thank you Mr.Perterson!
Jordan Peterson is really like an aiming up for me, thank you so much for being part of my pursuit in the meaning of life, i really love and appreciate you Sir, you remain in my prayers
I desperately needed to hear this in my 20s when I was comparing myself to all my more “successful” friends and feeling like I was falling behind.
My life is in plain shambles right now.
Going through what could be called a "Quarter life crisis". Just turned 32, suddenly faced an existential crisis, left my now ex-fiancée (whom I care deeply about and hope she'll be OK) after 11 years together because I faced a massive wall all of a sudden. Some things were related to her and us, but most are personal things that surged and I couldn't deal with all of it.
So I left.
And now I'm utterly lost. Left our apartment, left her, left the city I was living in with her for more than 5 years (in another country, her country), back at my parents', back in my old bedroom, back in my country, for now.
I'm an empty shell of a man. I have friends and family here, loving parents, but I've never felt so alone, the world has never appeared so big, my path has never been so blurry and uncertain, and I've never felt so lost and unsignificant.
"12 rules for life" helps me. Or at least it has the potential to do so.
I'm battling too many things.
I know I'm in no position to claim the victimhood in the break-up, as I instigated it, but I'm utterly heartbroken, as she was and is a great person, a great partner. Not without flaws (who hasn't flaws?), some that had their slow burning effects on me, but still a great person.
But I can't come back to her. Not after how I left her. I might need years before I forgive myself. For now I can't. I'm not the man she knew anymore, I'm not the man I thought I was, and I'm not the man I wish I could be. I don't recognize myself. I tried to be what I thought she wanted me to be, and I forgot myself in the process, for years.
I don't know where to go, what to do. I don't know how to start over.
I want to leave, explore, find myself. But I need my driving licence first, I need money as well. I'm "just" an illustrator, I don't have a high-paying skill. I feel stuck, lost and alone.
But this book, it soothes, it's a caress to the soul. It's not sugarcoating things, it's honest, and necessary.
I need to finish it, then read it again, and again. I need to embrace these rules, and find myself through them. I hope I will.
Life is suffering, I need to find my meaning into all of it.
Sorry for the rant and the awkward honesty, but thank you Dr.Peterson.
you got it brother, wishing you luck
Big prayers for you bro. It's tough man. I hope you get better soon
For some reason, all that has happened is in your favor ❤
Wow, this is really beautiful and very helpful ❤️. I've never heard the truth being told so softly and yet so powerfully.
Want to achieve success, then learn to work beyond boundaries.
It's true that defeating yourself is like challenging your own being , yourself interfere with the positive and negative emotion ,and yourself consistent in point logical conclusion and behaviourism .God bless Professor Jordan Peterson....
Mr Peterson, you are unbelievable hero of this century
The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
What JP said is perfectly blunt and inspiringly true!!
The best summary of all motivational speeches ever💪
True modern philosopher.
Thanks, Professor🙏
I'm so inspires every time i watched motivational videos, I learnt a lot and motivate myself to be better individual.
Jordan Peterson always says how i feel in my heart but i cant say it the way he does. Than you sir!
I needed this. I Definitely Needed This. Thank you, Mr. Peterson
Remarkable man, hard to figure out, easy to listen to, impossible to assimilate... impossible to overlook. A must follow

If you are searching for that one person that will change your life, take a look at the mirror. If you are looking for that person you should be better than today, that was the person you saw in the mirror yesterday. If you could kick that person in the back, who is responsible for most of your problems & troubles, YOU will not sit down for a month 🖖
I will see Jordan Peterson April 23, 2022. San Diego, California!
Indeed. I am 66 years old. In many ways, beaten down. The dreams I had wanted so much to achieve in our school where I am a teacher have been destroyed, literally, by others in the workplace. This isn't hyperbolic; it's merely description. What Dr. Peterson is teaching me here is that the harshness and malevolence of life is the norm; how can I lift myself up and transcend these circumstances? My circumstances aren't even unusual. I struggle with the bitterness and the rancor, though. The lesson is that gentle forbearance, on a foundation of focused strength, based in family and faith, is sufficient. I wish I could thank this man in person for his unceasing devotion to healing the pain of humanity.
5/5 best motivational video across all of youtube
I think everyone should be obligated to see this at least once, so life changing!
Proffesor Peterson, you are simply the best at what you do.
This man truly is amazing after I discovered him on RUclips. He helped me get a better view on life and how to change myself.
Keep improving yourself everyday.
Some of the most valuable advice in my life! My deepest gratitude to J.B.Peterson!
I'm listening to this on a loop over and over.
