I am 66 years old and I never heard anyone that can bring together ancient wisdom, religious principles, popular culture, psychology, biology and then produce a profound and useful insight that I can actually use in a practical way the minute after I hear him speak. His words are a gift to all of us who struggle with life's variables.
@Word I did not write that Jordan Peterson is perfect, I wrote that his videos, have been very helpful to me in a very practical way. Quite unlike most professors & psychologists. Besides, many of the people that we admire because of their achievements & contributions, also have serious flaws. Have a great day.

Your comment reminded me one piece from JP speeches: “If you don’t follow the pathway that you suppose to follow, the seas will come stormy for you and something will come up and pull you down. And you will be in a terrible place for some length of time till you learn the lesson. And if get lucky you will be spit back up on shore and then you can go do what you should do.”
Growing up having never met my bio father, this man has given me more answers than any other. Saw a comment under one of his videos that said he’s the father to the fatherless generation and this idea genuinely resonates within me every moment I watch his videos. Thank you mr. Peterson for who you are and striving at your own personal “greatest good” aim
I have many people I call "internet dads" on youtube I go to for life advice. There is so many basic things my dad never even brought up or cared about that has left me lost for answers. Its shown me so much and makes me grateful for all of these amazing videos out there so we can go on fixing ourselves.
Man I had the same thought while watching the video and before checking the comments. I was seperated from my bio parents at 6, 33 now and still feel that hole. I'd like to shake Dr. Petersons hand, thank him and give him a hug for offering even a glimmer of that role, be it unintentional.
God bless you all. + That was my comment. Thank God He sent Jordan Peterson. JP's living proof of the great good one man can do when "aiming for the highest good."
It seems to me, that anyone who has negative things to say about Jordan Peterson, fears that the things he says will blow away the preconceived notions they had of the world. Thank you Jordan Peterson for everything!
@jack bran Dr. Peterson was prescribed a highly addictive anti-anxiety medication to help cope with the stress of his wife having cancer and multiple complications with the treatment. Deciding to check oneself into rehab to have professionals help you get off them isn't something I would exactly call "being a junkie"
“All truth passes through three stages: First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as self-evident." ~ Arthur Schopenhauer
For many of us whose dads shrugged their fatherly responsibilities, Mr. Peterson fills that missing paternal role in our lives really well, if only in limited extent. YinYangHomebwoy , you "should really stop" telling people what they should do in absence of some reasonable explanation. And try to get to know us a bit better before giving us advice.
@@EzerEben Who said I was giving advice? I just said people should stop calling his father. It's ok to respect the man and take on his advice, but alot of people calling his "father" Sounds like brainwash worship or just something obsessive. Appreciate his contribution, no need to exaggerate him as a cybernet father.
This is perhaps the best - really profound. Aim at the star and the steps will be provided for you. Aim at the mudpuddle in front of you and you might stumble into it. So, aim high, and do the most good.
Some people aren’t ready for it, or willing to face the challenge. Peterson speaks to those who are willing to confront themselves and look into their own darker corners and recesses. It takes a certain amount of courage.
Please stay healthy Jordan May the Lord shine His face upon you May the Lord of heaven and earth set a strong hedge of protection. Around you and your family Please keep pointing to God the Father Jesus His son is simply the only hope of the world ..... We thank you for all your hard work Jordan . We love you !
Your aim in life should always be toward the highest good possible. Chasing after stability, a “future”, what my parents advised, has always been less than satisfying.
JP presents the challenge, yet again, to become an overcomer, and thus a better person. Always it’s the concept of rising out of the ashes of despair through choice to make life better. Thank you.
"The World Shifts Itself Around Your Aim" love it. He mentioned in another lecture that the literal meaning to "sin" is to miss the mark. Coupled with this it blew my mind even as an atheist.
Because he tells people that they aren't as good as they ought to be, and that's a rough thing to hear and know it to be true. Instead of resolving to work harder in their lives, they take the easy way out and attack the messenger.
He aims at victim perspective with what he has. And commands to take responsibility. And whoever is in that group, they think that their power over things is in danger.
This is what I have been attempting to do since I retired eight years ago. And in my life, the words of Christ have been borne out. I live well. I’m retired. And I didn’t earn what I have. Except to earnestly attempt to do the will of God as much as humanly possible. With periods of stumbling and failure, of course. But my Father loves me and he will never forsake me.
I totally agree with that. I have decided to get out of my wheelchair by June and I have since deciding, I've been able to walk further every day, I've lost weight and I'm more able to do my job so thank you, Jordan.
Things have not gone so well for me lately. Fortunately this word came up in my mind "you see what you aim at", Jordans words of wisdom sticks and guides you through life´s challenges, provided a great toolkit to avoid hell. Thank you hopefully i will prevail and build towards a better life for me and those around me.
Dr JP “ If you dare to do the most difficult thing that you can conceptualize, your life will work out better than if you do anything else.“. The beauty of this phrase is so powerful.
After self authoring I was messed up because I could not handle that much truth. I took the first step to start cleaning my damn room and the truth got a little bit easier to know. It's been 6 months since I started and have a lot more cleaning to do but my life seems better for it.
I have never regretted clicking on your videos. I always leave refreshed and ready again to aim at the highest good possible. Thank you, word to the wise.
If I had a son in future I'll name him Jordan , that is the best way to thank this wise men who is father figure of most young mens and to me either . ♡🙏 God bless you men for this video
I just watched his one video . And to be honest my whole perception of world around me changed . How he talks about meaning and responsibility . Made me get out of bed twisted my Nihilism filled mind . This man is so Smart . We are lucky to have him in our generation .
Jordan, benzo withdrawal will end in you being free and sane. Please be safe, it’s not permanent and I know it feels like you’re going crazy but you are not! I almost killed myself on 2 occasions after severe hallucinations both visually and auditory, I hope you can also see through that and come out alive and happy. Please be safe and be around your family. We love you 💙
I listened to Alan Watts intensively few years ago. He really isn't that helpful. I was nihilistic and my psyche was freaking out whenever I wasn't "in the moment". He never considered having an aim in life to be important. His almost whole idea is the acceptance that life has no meaning. After listening to Peterson, I lost that feeling of freaking out and now I know that you need both - presence and aim.
Dear WTTW Have just discovered your wonderful (and beautiful) videos incorporating short excerpts for Jordan Peterson's various talks and lectures. Really well done. Thanks.
What a fabulous take on that. I knew there were layers. The Kingdom of God is the highest, and His Righteousness keeps me on the Straight and narrow. The Lord will actually do it alongside me. I've been miraculously taken care of but have only done this at a low level. It so ties in with 'Who am I?' since we are multi faceted, what is my highest for the Highest?
Too all of you aspiring to have a better life I wish you the best of luck on this journey. Jordan Peterson helped me turn my life around in a 180 degree. Take responsibility and be the best damn archer you can be!
I think the exact same way that he speaks. I wish I had his gift of forming eloquent speech around these complex ideas so I could make videos like this too.
Corina Weber My Book is complete, I’m sending out query letters to agents. It’s a very heavy topic. I’m sober 40 yrs and my brother has 44 years. My brother started having memories of our abuse when painting, as he’s an artist. Just go to Michael Hemphill Artist. It’s not easy writing about painful childhood memories as our mother was a child serial killer.

May the Lord of heaven and earth set a strong hedge of protection. Around you and your family
Please keep pointing to God the Father
Jesus His son is simply the only hope of the world .....
We thank you for all your hard work Jordan .
We love you !
“Have an aim and focus on the day you have to move towards it"
Your aim in life should always be toward the highest good possible. Chasing after stability, a “future”, what my parents advised, has always been less than satisfying.
I think Jordan has learned much about himself through his Bible series. It is quite profound to watch!
I’ve read this many times and missed the kicker all my life. Aiming at the highest possible good is an antidote for worry. Thank you Jesus.
This is a very good one. I love the rationale, “what better do you have to do?” Reason enough to dedicate yourself fully.
JP presents the challenge, yet again, to become an overcomer, and thus a better person. Always it’s the concept of rising out of the ashes of despair through choice to make life better. Thank you.
Best psychologist and best sermon in town, anywhere.
Who ever made this video or took part in the making of this video, may God’s blessing be on you. For you have taken the world a little away from evil.
"The World Shifts Itself Around Your Aim" love it.

Jordan P. in some way he has become the Father of many of us!!
Most inteligent human being of all time!
Quite impossible not to love this good man.
This is bringing me to tears for some reason that I can't ascertain at this particular time.
The truth has a powerful effect on us, it breaks us down, then puts us back together better than before.
This is what I have been attempting to do since I retired eight years ago. And in my life, the words of Christ have been borne out. I live well. I’m retired. And I didn’t earn what I have.

Probably my most favorite one yet
Just found Dr Jordan....listen daily now for a week!
Gets my focus on order while being surrounded by chaos.
