My son age 23 took his life 2 weeks ago. Strangely I'd felt compelled to watch this video over and over in the weeks leading up to it. I appreciate this perspective so much, it has really helped me carry this cross and not be crushed under its weight.
The audience is laughing, but Jordan is being as real as possible. You can hear the tearful heartful plea in his voice that let's you know that what he's saying is coming from the heart, and he's just hoping that someone, anyone, hears him. God bless you Dr. Peterson!
Xx BigBoss xX that’s a joke, right? What do you think the concept of grace is about? “Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast.” I was an atheist. It was through the grace of God that I found my way to Christ. He came after my heart and brought me to the Lord. Even as an atheist, God still loved me, and he was still after my heart. So don’t you dare try to say that God doesn’t bless the nonbelievers. With enough love and prayer, during our time on earth there is still hope for the nonbelievers, and God will not stop trying to go after their hearts.
I was only 18 when my dad died in 1985. I was actively doing all I could to be a part of his funeral preparation and funeral. For the next 2 years my mom was just in such deep depression that I was taking care of her and my sister who was only 8. When other guys where doing teenager stuff, I was making sure she ate right, helping her with homework, getting her clothes ready, going to see a doctor when necessary and going on parent-teachers meetings... I couldn't even imagine any other way. I was always hoping that if my dad could see me he would be happy and proud of me. As he was my true hero which I miss all my life.
God bless you for being so caring and holding it all together for your family. I'm sure all that responsibility at such a young age taught you many life lessons too, which takes most of us all our lives to learn. Your Dad would be very proud of you 🙏❤️
You’re father would be so proud of you, and I’m sure up in the pearly gates he’s smiling down at you. You’re sister is lucky to have you as a brother, and I hope you’re mom is doing well. Loss is tough. I haven’t lost either of my parents, I can’t imagine how that must feel. Know this,YOU are a god damn hero!
I always thought the words “he saved my life” to be cliche, cult-like, and pathetic, but with Jordan Peterson i can truly say he changed my life. I was lazy, irresponsible, a victim, always blaming others for my problems, did drugs to escape reality and avoid responsibility until just a few months ago I found out who Jordan B Peterson was. Since then my life turned around for the better. He changed my life for the better, helped me face reality, helped me accept responsibility, helped me find meaning, and overall, accept that life is suffering. Not everything in life is perfect and balanced like we always hope. Chaos, tragedy, and catastrophe is right around the corner, so instead of bracing for a catastrophe we need to embrace it as a time for self-growth. I turned my chaos into order, reduced suffering, and got my life together. Thank you for everything Jordan Peterson.
Well written man!! I can hear the wisdom in your words. The more tragedy I’ve been through, the more I gravitate toward Dr. Peterson’s teachings. Little by little I also hope to make my life and other’s lives better and alleviate suffering.
That’s so wholesome! His lectures and speeches helped me out of a rut, and out of my “dark age” last year. I love this man, and his “life is suffering” mantra is now what I live by. Life is suffering, but you gotta rise to the occasion to make it better.
He comes off as an above average Lecturer but when one examines His Life Experiences in relation to what he preaches, there are little to zero facts, just his opinion at best.
My mom passed away yesterday. I was watching these videos weeks ago preparing myself for such hardship. I hope im doing good in face of this horrible horrible nightmare.
i just wanted to you let you know that you’re doing great. hopefully today you’re feeling less compelled to be a victim but moved to be greater because of your circumstances. love you❤
“Everything you do matters” what an important powerful phrase this is- as a youngster due to different experiences & trauma I developed an instinct to pay attention to what was going on around me at all times, as things weren’t quite as they seemed & confusing to understand in my younger years. sadly when I grew up and fell into certain traps these podcasts & divine words of advice literally saved my life- thank you Dr Peterson you will never know how much these words left an imprint on my soul whilst I was going through all kinds of challenges “everything you do matters” 👏💯🙏⭐️ 🇨🇦

Dude, me too. I am a socialist and atheist, but his message is absolutely amazing and really hope he pulls himself from this chapter of his life. Stay safe!
@@MLCommy The application of being a good person does not discriminate against what you believe in but what you do! Capitalist, Socialist or otherwise.
I had a series of events that caused me to spiral; non of which was of my doing, at my lowest, and most lost, suffering from a existential crisis, suffering more then I have ever in my life, this lecture came to me. I wasn’t looking that I can remember, it’s like the universe knew I needed this and it came to me. Hearing that one line “pick up your suffering and bear it, try to be a good person so you don’t make it worse” literally turned every thing around. Reading his books, listening to his lectures, revolutionized my life. I can not think him enough, I found strength that I was searching for so desperately.
@@jesusislukeskywalker4294 the flouride we get in our water is a helluva lot more sinister than just an antidepressant. in a large number of cases, it is literally unprocessed, concentrated industrial waste, straight from fertilizer plant scrubber filters, to a tank that gets poured into the water supply. in some cases, its even mildly radioactive.
I've been watching this clip on loop for days as my young sister in law, who just got a cancer diagnosis, deteriorates rapidly in the ICU as I type. It's all I can do to keep from becoming a hot slobbering mess. This bit of lecture is serving like a psalm I keep repeating in my head over and over again - so that I can try to help those around me. Dr. Peterson can never know absolutely crucial his lectures and books have been, and continue to be.
Hey, Darling. So, sorry to read this. I totally feel you. I'm just like you, having my sister going through a rough cancer path. If you feel like it, I'd love to share our experiences, give you all the information I have about the disease, and hopefully become better humans for our family and for ourselves. Much love and strenght.
This comment doesn't help the situation. She died 4 days after I wrote that comment. There was nothing I or anyone else could have done. I did my best by following the advise from Dr. Peterson's lecture.@@monopolythesecond
@DrumWild Yeah, I feel like my critical thinking goes out the window during speeches as compelling as this one. That aside, which of his ideas do you find inappropriate? I'd be happy to ponder about them.
The video that saved my life, thank you jordan peterson, in your suffering and sacrifice in life you became a man so capable you saved the life of another man youve never even met.
@@jamesparson It is meaningful for someone, if it is not by other persons, can meaningful for you. Thats the whole point, and you can do many meaningful things if you start with yourself, then applies to the others around you. But yes, everything you do matters

Its so refreshing to hear good old fashioned timeless wisdom again. A lot of what he says is what I learned in USMC Boot Camp over 50 years ago. In boot camp the technique was more raw and much less intellectual than the class room but the message is the same and that is: the world does not revolve around you, so lend a hand......NOW!!!!!
Very few people in the public eye today put so much effort into sharing true wisdom of happiness and success. I love his talks, not just the content but the passion and authenticity in his presentation. In a world of warm blankets, netflix and uber eats we drown in meaninglessness and comfort. JP is the internet dad of the world forcing us back outside, giving us the tools and courage to grapple with the chaos of the unknown and the strength to face the world once again. Much love dr jp, keep it real my dude x
What so many Christians forget, if they ever learn it at all, is that the Cross is a feature, not a bug. The Crucifixion is embedded in every string or subatomic particle at the bottom of the universe. "Christ...the lamb slain from the foundation of the world" (Rev. 13:8) - what does that tell you about suffering? And the proper preposition with regard to God is WITH, not UP. God is not UP THERE, looking DOWN; God is Immanuel - "God-WITH-us" (one might with justification say "within" us), to strengthen, guide, guard, protect and forgive.
@@chidimmaahanonu8252 is it "it" or is it him. Him or it ? If it is a human or it is something else ? Is a war on science is going on ? I hope you find "him" in yourself and everything around you. And Life is not suffering it's as it is only we categorize it. Life is extraordinarily beautiful and magnificent. Only those who have the courage to be in the unknown will find it, as one wise man said - the most precious thing in life is life itself are we going to acknowledge it now or only on the deathbed ?
@@virajdobriyal6321 It's a 'him' and not an 'it'. Of course life is beautiful and magnificent but it comes with many trials and tribulations. But I believe what we as humans would regret the most on our deathbed is living a life without fulfilling our purpose on earth. That's the beautiful thing about following Christ - we find our purpose in him and live our lives following his example. And even if it means forfeiting some of the world's pleasures (at the end of the day they are all vain and mostly lead to instant gratification), we get to do what it is we have been created and called to do on earth and to me that's the highest form of pleasure anyone can have. This can be found in Christ - fulfillment.
This video gives me a strength I can't describe. I listen to it 1-2 times a month. The person I was before 12 rules fore for life should be proud of the person I am today. Thanks Dr. Peterson. And god bless you.
I found my mother deceased at 6 pulled the plug on my father when I was 24. Lost many others too. At first I thought it would break me and it did but now there’s nothing I’m afraid of losing and I realize that suffering is the reason I am so strong . Jordan Peterson is great man he says like as much as a teenage girl but he’s exactly right about most of his messages because he just states the hard truth . If your hurting beyond comprehension and everything stops making sense , something that helped me was strangers talk w them from your heart find the golden ones and ull find suffering is as ancient as love and our realities are personal it’s up to us to see beyond what cultures in the east call the Lila. Understand that there will always be doctors and murderers and both are just actors in this great drama that the eternal self plays out to have to dance between suffering and love which both need each other
When I'm listening to Mr Peterson I'm like a child and Mr Peterson is like my uncle who came from abroad with a bag full of things I've always wanted to have but my father couldn't provide . This man's every video always gives me something to fix myself which i couldn't find elsewhere , this man is a true saviour for the people of this era . God Bless him.
I can honestly say this is the best video I’ve ever seen, everything he says in this videos resonates so deeply with me and it was this video along with others that made me the person that I am today, not where I want to be yet but got out of my worst years in depression and have goals and duties that I am looking forward to as I continue with life. I am in the process of getting my life together. Thank you.
Life is hard because we stopped helping each other, and now we only help ourselves. But usually what we lack is in others and what they lack is in us. We need each other.
The majority of people have always been egoistic as long as it was rewarding. And the majority of us will continue to be so until we manage to built a system that rewards altruism and punishes egoism.
@@stefan1924 The issue I find with altruism is that it is an idealistic construct. Virtually, every single person on the planet is selfish or does something for self-gain. The only people I think who would be considered altruistic is saints because their actions are done solely for God. Even a mother jumping in front of a bus to save her son is considered selfish.
I'm proud of you for getting help man, we all need a little "professional" help from time to time... Some of us don't get it though due to embarrassment, lack of funds, previous obligations, a myriad of reasons. The greatest healer has but a few requirements, the largest of which is humility. A little bit of humility goes a long way. See you soon, we love you man...!!! Peace and hair grease brother.
I watched this during a difficult time in my life. I was living away from my family for work-related reasons. I had mental issues partially due to this isolation, but also due to a messy breakup with my girlfriend involving family issues we had right before high school ended. I saw this video while on break at work one day, and it motivated me. After watching and rewatching Peterson's videos again and again over several months I decided to enroll in college and pursue my dream of being a teacher. I pushed myself harder than ever before, working and studying. Right when I got myself together, my sister attempted suicide, and my father fell into a coma due to a diabetic seizure. It was a really tough time, but thanks to the personal responsibility I developed, I was able to reform my relationship with my sister that had become distant over time and show her that she meant a lot to our family and myself. I've always had a difficult relationship with my father, as growing up he was abusive towards my siblings and I and was an alcoholic that rarely worked. But I saw my mother suffering during his recovery period, and I knew she needed help taking care of him. So I got myself together, and put the tension between my father and I behind me to ensure that my mother didn't have to bear everything alone. Eventually my father recovered, way beyond what was expected of him by the doctors. So, my mother didn't end up having to constantly keep him under supervision, his brain was somehow permanently affected little to none. Afterwards, my former girlfriend and I worked out our family issues and got back together. We're now happily engaged and building a future together. Life isn't perfect, but it doesn't need to be, because all of the good in my life has made the suffering feel more than bearable, and life truly feels meaningful and worth every second.
I can't believe the beauty, love, majesty, and truth I just felt. This was a masterpieceof human thought. I can't believe I witnessed this magical sermon of modernity.
Jordan Peterson at his best! "Get yourself together, transcend your suffering, see if you can be some kind of hero, make the suffering in the world less. Well, that's the way forward as far as I can tell, if there is any way forward."
@@Igor_lvanov I think he’s giving him the words to say it, bc Bobby said “words cannot explain”. So “better” I believe meaning “better than it was before”
Dr. Peterson - I am not religious at all - have diagnosed with brain cancer 2 weeks ago, have had a surgery a week ago - watching this clip was very very helpful for me to get trough it - and now moving on for the next steps - I have been so lucky to know you and find this video! Thank you very much!
Thank you for this truth. It was bitter,very bitter but brought tears of joy!! The mentor I needed in my life. The male role model I needed in my life. Thank you for uploading this video.
Having Dr. Peterson as a prof has been life-changing. He rose to fame in a time in which the modern world needs people like him the most. I recently wrote a spoken word on my channel with a lot of his teachings and philosophies. I think we need to spread his message as much as we can in order to redirect our collective mindset. Thank you for all you do Dr. Peterson.
@@jamesparson Not really. Suffering in this context means that you continue to reflect on the pain you were/are/are about to endure, like whining about having to clean your room, then bitching about it constantly while cleaning it. Pain just means the discomfort you are experiencing while you are doing the activity that you've been whining about.

This is truly one of the best videos of all time. It nice to hear someone who understands how much suffering and emptiness is in life. Truly when i heard the quote "To be' or not to be." as a kid, i was like ok, i know what it's saying but it didn't mean anything to me. But now, it's one of the saddest most profound quote i've ever heard. Now feeling the weight of being a adult, the absolute nagging heavy weight comes with just living is hard sometimes. To just exist you have to bear the weight and pain of life. That's the cost we all have to pay. And of course life isn't all just doom and gloom if you have friends and a good family but damn, sometimes you just think why me, i don't want to deals with this. But all you can do, is try your best in life. Try to make it as good as it can possibly be. That's literally the only control we have over our own lives. But i do believe in God, and i believe we all have something we were put here to do, and it's up to us if we're strong enough to do it. But sometimes i see friends who love each other deeply. And i see a wife and a husband who love each other more than the world. And i think, will i ever get to experience such joy as well? Or is my job here different than what i would like. And sometimes i just want to scream into the sky so loud maybe i could be free of everything the world binds you in. But we all know it doesn't work that way. And sometimes i feel empty inside. It's as if i can physically feel a whole in my chest. While my heart feels cold and heavy. As i desperately scramble to fill and warm my heart. But at the end of the day i can feel that my heart and soul are longing and trying to reach out for love, as my mind tries to convince me i don't need it........ I would argue that there is no such greater, than love.
@@y04a Thanks i was in a rough place when i wrote this, im much better now but i still believe what i wrote. Just now im dealing with it in a more healthy way. Its still always tough though.
@@Samuel-sg2iv I'm glad to hear you're doing better. Even so, life is hard sometimes and as long as persevere, all is not lost : ) I think it's awesome you can describe your emotions so clearly. Even if it hurts, it can help to have words to describe it, in my opinion.
@@y04a Thank you, it really means a lot when you say that. But yeah, one of the best pieces of advice i've ever heard was, you have to feel your feelings. Which sounds kinda simple, but for me i really needed to hear that. Cause a lot of the time i wouldn't. And what i found that really helps me a lot, is when you are feeling bad about something that happens to you, write what you feel down on a piece of paper or i use google docs, lol. But you will be surprised if you really sit down and just feel what your mind and body feels, it helps a lot. But, thanks for the nice comments, i hope you're doing good as well.
@Samuel-sg2iv Hey, if you wouldn't mind, I would suggest watching some Eckhart Tolle videos on awareness and pain. God bless you. There's *always* sunshine after the storm. 🙏
Greatest man of the modern era in my opinion. Thank you Dr. Peterson. You've articulated thoughts i've always held but never been able to but into words.
Some time ago my wife complained about a migraine, then our 5yo son put a hand on her shoulder and told her "Mom, life is pain". I teared up. My wife came to me and asked "WTF are you teaching our son?!" It was one of my best parenting moment.
I don't think I've seen this man being more raw, intense, and figuratively naked in any of his other speeches. The defenses are down, and the earnestness in his tone is sweeping out like a typhoon, as he's desperately pleading with everyone to be better stronger people.
I've always been a huge nerd. I love learning how things work. I used to think I knew why I was like that. After watching this, I realize that I was wrong. I'm a male in the 97th percentile of neuroticism. I realize now that learning how things work keeps me grateful, and that is what has kept me from losing my marbles.
This video has been one of my biggest inspiration in my life. I found Jordan Peterson during the hardest part of my life ever. It was a point that could’ve ended with me not existing on earth anymore. But listening to him and learning has helped me take responsibility for myself. Made me realize that I have to get myself out of the situation that is making me miserable and depressed. I’m very happy where I am in life now. But it was something I was able to obtain because I made very hard decisions in that were necessary. “If you want to have a meaningful life, everything you do matters” is a word I’ll never forget for the rest of my life
I could endlessly repeat the other comments praising how good the message in this video is but I want to just quickly praise you for adding subtitles in so many languages, you can't imagine how much it means to me to be able to share this with all of my friends and them being able to understand it. Keep it up man.
even though the audience is giving out giggles from time to time, Dr Peterson is intensely emotional. I had a tear in an eye while watching one part of this.
That’s what I needed to hear right now. I wish everyone who is suffering that he finds a noble way out of his burden and can improve his life and maybe that of his loved ones too.
More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
"if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move." well personally I would prefer to move the mountain first, but if it wouldn't work than I would climb it :D
I’m 29 years old, been trying to get my act together and be a better person. It’s been hard, I started reading JP’s 12 Rules for Life recently. I hope it helps!
I’m still here because of Dr. Jordan Peterson. Everyone I love has died. Most recently my dad in December and my dog of 13 years 1 month later. Then to top it off I was died the next day from my dream job. Still struggling daily.
My son age 23 took his life 2 weeks ago. Strangely I'd felt compelled to watch this video over and over in the weeks leading up to it. I appreciate this perspective so much, it has really helped me carry this cross and not be crushed under its weight.
I am sorry for the death of your son.
Be strong and try to prevent other people from doing it.
May he rest in peace...

I'm 23. My oldest friend, same age, died of an overdose 3 months ago. You're not alone in your suffering. Stay strong for those around you.
Sorry to hear Rosie. Hope you are doing ok.

This was the clip that made me realize I had to change things.
Me too man. How are you
I watch this everytime when i start slacking in my life and i get back to getting my shit back together.
It helped me feel real silly about how badly some things were depressing me and I got some quick relief, like a slap on the face that actually worked.
Are you sure?
So what did you change?
any channel propagating Professor Jordan B Peterson's wisdom is worth subscribing to.
I agree, the guy knows what he's talking about. Great mind of our time.
Yep. Just checked. I'm subscribed. 1 of 116k. We are in GOOD company here I believe. Gives one hope.

I had a series of events that caused me to spiral; non of which was of my doing, at my lowest, and most lost, suffering from a existential crisis, suffering more then I have ever in my life, this lecture came to me. I wasn’t looking that I can remember, it’s like the universe knew I needed this and it came to me. Hearing that one line “pick up your suffering and bear it, try to be a good person so you don’t make it worse” literally turned every thing around. Reading his books, listening to his lectures, revolutionized my life. I can not think him enough, I found strength that I was searching for so desperately.
I'm so weak, and radically insufficient in many ways. And I know exactly what I need to do.
Don't do it
I didn't insinuate suicide, I meant improve, and develop for the better.

I've been watching this clip on loop for days as my young sister in law, who just got a cancer diagnosis, deteriorates rapidly in the ICU as I type.
It's all I can do to keep from becoming a hot slobbering mess.
This bit of lecture is serving like a psalm I keep repeating in my head over and over again - so that I can try to help those around me.
Dr. Peterson can never know absolutely crucial his lectures and books have been, and continue to be.
Hey, Darling. So, sorry to read this. I totally feel you. I'm just like you, having my sister going through a rough cancer path. If you feel like it, I'd love to share our experiences, give you all the information I have about the disease, and hopefully become better humans for our family and for ourselves.
Much love and strenght.
That doesn’t help the situation. Get to work researching people who have beat cancer and what they did so you have the ability to help.
You can do this 🙏
This comment doesn't help the situation. She died 4 days after I wrote that comment. There was nothing I or anyone else could have done. I did my best by following the advise from Dr. Peterson's lecture.@@monopolythesecond
This helped me get through my father's recent death. I'm so glad I saw it before his stroke. Thank you.
The speech made me start calling my father regularly.
This is my favorite video of Jordan. He brings me to tears every time I see it.

This is some of the best material I’ve ever heard.
This lecture was ahead of its time. 2020 is what he worried about.
Woah
No it's not. Those are very old problems. Nihilist bs has been strong in the western world since at least the 80s.
Yeah talking about going outside, not everything burning in a riot.....
“Is to live is to suffer, is to survive is to find a meaning in the suffering” - Nietzsche
Sometimes you just suffer until it kills you.
Just because you want something to be meaningful, does not mean it is.
@@jamesparson It is meaningful for someone, if it is not by other persons, can meaningful for you. Thats the whole point, and you can do many meaningful things if you start with yourself, then applies to the others around you. But yes, everything you do matters
yea but there realy is no meaning, everything is futile.
I think beheading victims should find meaning in their brutal murders.
Oh wait, they can't cuz they're dead.
Meaning is self proclaimed I don’t drink so if someone bought me the most expensive bottle in the world I’d just look with no want of it. If u bought me an al then I’d 💛 u
If someone notice this, I'm fighting depression and I really wanna win this. I know God is always with me. I'm just tired.
Its so refreshing to hear good old fashioned timeless wisdom again. A lot of what he says is what I learned in USMC Boot Camp over 50 years ago. In boot camp the technique was more raw and much less intellectual than the class room but the message is the same and that is: the world does not revolve around you, so lend a hand......NOW!!!!!
Typical conservative propaganda. Pick yourself up by the bootstraps, but bailout corporations and pay CEOs 100x more than working employees.
@@gabrielg3838 how did u get that?
This is one of the most beautiful speeches I've ever heard. I always come back to it.
Very few people in the public eye today put so much effort into sharing true wisdom of happiness and success. I love his talks, not just the content but the passion and authenticity in his presentation. In a world of warm blankets, netflix and uber eats we drown in meaninglessness and comfort. JP is the internet dad of the world forcing us back outside, giving us the tools and courage to grapple with the chaos of the unknown and the strength to face the world once again. Much love dr jp, keep it real my dude x

Nice to hear this😊
“Take up your cross and follow Me” (Matthew 16:24;
What so many Christians forget, if they ever learn it at all, is that the Cross is a feature, not a bug. The Crucifixion is embedded in every string or subatomic particle at the bottom of the universe. "Christ...the lamb slain from the foundation of the world" (Rev. 13:8) - what does that tell you about suffering? And the proper preposition with regard to God is WITH, not UP. God is not UP THERE, looking DOWN; God is Immanuel - "God-WITH-us" (one might with justification say "within" us), to strengthen, guide, guard, protect and forgive.
Christ sucked my dick to grow stronger , it's written in Quran also.
@@virajdobriyal6321 If only you know who it is you are talking about, you will not be saying those words. I pray you discover him for your self.
@@chidimmaahanonu8252 is it "it" or is it him. Him or it ? If it is a human or it is something else ? Is a war on science is going on ? I hope you find "him" in yourself and everything around you. And Life is not suffering it's as it is only we categorize it. Life is extraordinarily beautiful and magnificent. Only those who have the courage to be in the unknown will find it, as one wise man said - the most precious thing in life is life itself are we going to acknowledge it now or only on the deathbed ?
@@virajdobriyal6321 It's a 'him' and not an 'it'. Of course life is beautiful and magnificent but it comes with many trials and tribulations. But I believe what we as humans would regret the most on our deathbed is living a life without fulfilling our purpose on earth. That's the beautiful thing about following Christ - we find our purpose in him and live our lives following his example. And even if it means forfeiting some of the world's pleasures (at the end of the day they are all vain and mostly lead to instant gratification), we get to do what it is we have been created and called to do on earth and to me that's the highest form of pleasure anyone can have. This can be found in Christ - fulfillment.
This video gives me a strength I can't describe. I listen to it 1-2 times a month. The person I was before 12 rules fore for life should be proud of the person I am today. Thanks Dr. Peterson. And god bless you.
I found my mother deceased at 6 pulled the plug on my father when I was 24. Lost many others too. At first I thought it would break me and it did but now there’s nothing I’m afraid of losing and I realize that suffering is the reason I am so strong . Jordan Peterson is great man he says like as much as a teenage girl but he’s exactly right about most of his messages because he just states the hard truth . If your hurting beyond comprehension and everything stops making sense , something that helped me was strangers talk w them from your heart find the golden ones and ull find suffering is as ancient as love and our realities are personal it’s up to us to see beyond what cultures in the east call the Lila. Understand that there will always be doctors and murderers and both are just actors in this great drama that the eternal self plays out to have to dance between suffering and love which both need each other
Jordan Peterson is the "golden tool" of the western society.
When I'm listening to Mr Peterson I'm like a child and Mr Peterson is like my uncle who came from abroad with a bag full of things I've always wanted to have but my father couldn't provide . This man's every video always gives me something to fix myself which i couldn't find elsewhere , this man is a true saviour for the people of this era . God Bless him.
Words cannot explain how grateful I am to have you in our lives, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson. I am eternally grateful.
i want a movie of this man

Jordan Peterson has probably saved more lives than anyone in these past decades. He truly is an amazing person, god bless you Jordan.
From now on I think I'll watch this video every day
I can honestly say this is the best video I’ve ever seen, everything he says in this videos resonates so deeply with me and it was this video along with others that made me the person that I am today, not where I want to be yet but got out of my worst years in depression and have goals and duties that I am looking forward to as I continue with life. I am in the process of getting my life together. Thank you.
Life is hard because we stopped helping each other, and now we only help ourselves. But usually what we lack is in others and what they lack is in us. We need each other.
JoHn LyTe
Life is hard because it's full of unbelievable suffering.
The majority of people have always been egoistic as long as it was rewarding. And the majority of us will continue to be so until we manage to built a system that rewards altruism and punishes egoism.
>we stopped helping each other
What complete nonsense. Your ignorant believes about the past are the greatest threats to civilization.
Agree
@@stefan1924 The issue I find with altruism is that it is an idealistic construct. Virtually, every single person on the planet is selfish or does something for self-gain. The only people I think who would be considered altruistic is saints because their actions are done solely for God. Even a mother jumping in front of a bus to save her son is considered selfish.
I'm proud of you for getting help man, we all need a little "professional" help from time to time... Some of us don't get it though due to embarrassment, lack of funds, previous obligations, a myriad of reasons. The greatest healer has but a few requirements, the largest of which is humility. A little bit of humility goes a long way. See you soon, we love you man...!!! Peace and hair grease brother.
I watched this during a difficult time in my life. I was living away from my family for work-related reasons. I had mental issues partially due to this isolation, but also due to a messy breakup with my girlfriend involving family issues we had right before high school ended.
I saw this video while on break at work one day, and it motivated me. After watching and rewatching Peterson's videos again and again over several months I decided to enroll in college and pursue my dream of being a teacher. I pushed myself harder than ever before, working and studying.
Right when I got myself together, my sister attempted suicide, and my father fell into a coma due to a diabetic seizure.
It was a really tough time, but thanks to the personal responsibility I developed, I was able to reform my relationship with my sister that had become distant over time and show her that she meant a lot to our family and myself.
I've always had a difficult relationship with my father, as growing up he was abusive towards my siblings and I and was an alcoholic that rarely worked. But I saw my mother suffering during his recovery period, and I knew she needed help taking care of him. So I got myself together, and put the tension between my father and I behind me to ensure that my mother didn't have to bear everything alone.
Eventually my father recovered, way beyond what was expected of him by the doctors. So, my mother didn't end up having to constantly keep him under supervision, his brain was somehow permanently affected little to none.
Afterwards, my former girlfriend and I worked out our family issues and got back together. We're now happily engaged and building a future together. Life isn't perfect, but it doesn't need to be, because all of the good in my life has made the suffering feel more than bearable, and life truly feels meaningful and worth every second.
Bless you friend, for your story could just be the thing many others including me needed to hear tonight.
You're an inspiration for many of us.❤
I can't believe the beauty, love, majesty, and truth I just felt. This was a masterpieceof human thought. I can't believe I witnessed this magical sermon of modernity.
Just what I was thinking myself.
What hes saying is present in most religious texts, its an eternal truth of mortality and human life.
Jordan Peterson at his best!
"Get yourself together, transcend your suffering, see if you can be some kind of hero, make the suffering in the world less. Well, that's the way forward as far as I can tell, if there is any way forward."
He warned us.
He literally warned us.

Thank you very much!
I hope you get better
Thanks a lot for message! I have had 4 rounds of Chimo and bone marrow transplant, everything went well, with minor issues and side effects!
Thank you for this truth. It was bitter,very bitter but brought tears of joy!! The mentor I needed in my life. The male role model I needed in my life. Thank you for uploading this video.
Having Dr. Peterson as a prof has been life-changing. He rose to fame in a time in which the modern world needs people like him the most. I recently wrote a spoken word on my channel with a lot of his teachings and philosophies. I think we need to spread his message as much as we can in order to redirect our collective mindset. Thank you for all you do Dr. Peterson.
In hardship and unbearable suffering, i found myself in here listening to jbp. Makes it bearable. Thanks for that
The pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
Well said.
Useless distinction.
@@jamesparson Not really. Suffering in this context means that you continue to reflect on the pain you were/are/are about to endure, like whining about having to clean your room, then bitching about it constantly while cleaning it. Pain just means the discomfort you are experiencing while you are doing the activity that you've been whining about.

This is truly one of the best videos of all time. It nice to hear someone who understands how much suffering and emptiness is in life. Truly when i heard the quote "To be' or not to be." as a kid, i was like ok, i know what it's saying but it didn't mean anything to me. But now, it's one of the saddest most profound quote i've ever heard. Now feeling the weight of being a adult, the absolute nagging heavy weight comes with just living is hard sometimes. To just exist you have to bear the weight and pain of life. That's the cost we all have to pay. And of course life isn't all just doom and gloom if you have friends and a good family but damn, sometimes you just think why me, i don't want to deals with this. But all you can do, is try your best in life. Try to make it as good as it can possibly be. That's literally the only control we have over our own lives. But i do believe in God, and i believe we all have something we were put here to do, and it's up to us if we're strong enough to do it. But sometimes i see friends who love each other deeply. And i see a wife and a husband who love each other more than the world. And i think, will i ever get to experience such joy as well? Or is my job here different than what i would like. And sometimes i just want to scream into the sky so loud maybe i could be free of everything the world binds you in. But we all know it doesn't work that way. And sometimes i feel empty inside. It's as if i can physically feel a whole in my chest. While my heart feels cold and heavy. As i desperately scramble to fill and warm my heart. But at the end of the day i can feel that my heart and soul are longing and trying to reach out for love, as my mind tries to convince me i don't need it........ I would argue that there is no such greater, than love.
That was beautiful to read. I hope you continue to search for love and to find it 💗

I think it's awesome you can describe your emotions so clearly. Even if it hurts, it can help to have words to describe it, in my opinion.
@@y04a Thank you, it really means a lot when you say that. But yeah, one of the best pieces of advice i've ever heard was, you have to feel your feelings. Which sounds kinda simple, but for me i really needed to hear that. Cause a lot of the time i wouldn't. And what i found that really helps me a lot, is when you are feeling bad about something that happens to you, write what you feel down on a piece of paper or i use google docs, lol. But you will be surprised if you really sit down and just feel what your mind and body feels, it helps a lot. But, thanks for the nice comments, i hope you're doing good as well.
@Samuel-sg2iv Hey, if you wouldn't mind, I would suggest watching some Eckhart Tolle videos on awareness and pain. God bless you. There's *always* sunshine after the storm. 🙏

This goes up there with “Gettysburg Address” and “I Have a Dream” speeches as the greatest of all time.
Agreed
This video has been one of my biggest inspiration in my life. I found Jordan Peterson during the hardest part of my life ever. It was a point that could’ve ended with me not existing on earth anymore. But listening to him and learning has helped me take responsibility for myself. Made me realize that I have to get myself out of the situation that is making me miserable and depressed. I’m very happy where I am in life now. But it was something I was able to obtain because I made very hard decisions in that were necessary. “If you want to have a meaningful life, everything you do matters” is a word I’ll never forget for the rest of my life
I could endlessly repeat the other comments praising how good the message in this video is but I want to just quickly praise you for adding subtitles in so many languages, you can't imagine how much it means to me to be able to share this with all of my friends and them being able to understand it. Keep it up man.

so this is freestyle lol? he loses himself in it totally
Peterson would be a great rapper lol
If you had... one shot..
Once he left the university basically everything he did is improvised on the spot

Dutcharedope 😂😂 freestyle
even though the audience is giving out giggles from time to time, Dr Peterson is intensely emotional. I had a tear in an eye while watching one part of this.
This is my favourite Jordan Peterson video.
That’s what I needed to hear right now. I wish everyone who is suffering that he finds a noble way out of his burden and can improve his life and maybe that of his loved ones too.
More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
Amen
This man helped me so much. Forever grateful.
"Lord, don't move that mountain! Please give me strength to climb it." :)
