30:45 - "Your conscience will torment you for the things you are not doing" Damn Accurate!!!
or the things that you did but did not approve of
He is spot on with his understanding of the mind and consciousness. I haven’t found anyone who explains it better than he does. He is quite amazing in all he has done. I agree with your highlight at 30:45, Thanks for sharing this.
Yup! JP is a blessing to many @@KindnessMatterz
Hell yeah
Correct
I'm just an over the road truck driver but listening to these lectures and podcasts I feel like I'm really broadening my horizon. Thank you.
Thank you for doing the work that keeps our society running smoothly. You're not just a truck driver, you're an important part of our society.

why aren't you at the top?!
Thnks mate
I totally agree about Dostoevesky. I read "The Brothers Karamazov" for a college class-- "Sacred Symbols and Patterns of Thought Through Time". That was something like 30 years ago, and I still think about it. Especially the chapter called "The Grand Inquisitor." So much yearning to know truth, so much confusion, complications, false ideas mixed up with true ones.
Re-review this
Jordan B Peterson: "My message to the Hungarians Do not rebel against your PM Your leader is trying to restore the metaphysical foundation of the 1000 years old Hungarian empire I would like to tell you a secret about Jesus and a secret about your PM. Another name for Jesus is Viktor"
Back in late 2016 when all the fuss about Trump began, the algorithm started to show me videos about a canadian professor who spoke about truth, mithology and history, little did I know that these videos would influence my life the way that they did. I hope this video is thrown into the algorithm for another person to enjoy. We are very lucky for having JP alive talking to us.
This man is a true blessing to humanity.
I found him around that time too, 2015 or 2016, when he started appearing on Joe Rogan's podcast. Joe had interesting psychologists on often, but that first exposure to JP just blew me away. Then I discovered he had all these lectures of myth and Soviet ideology, two things I'm fascinated by. And then had written a book to help people with depression take back control, which I was struggling with at the time. I owe so much emotional and intellectual growth to Dr Peterson now.
I wonder what Dr. Jordan Peterson's stance is on Neon Genesis Evangelion.
I love writing. It makes my ideas real. I sit in front of my computer. dial up Google Docs and all of a sudden I'm understanding myself better 29 pages in writing a long, long letter to someone I'll probably never meet. Writing is a conversation--with myself, sure, but with someone of whom I have a model in my head. Everything I've ever written, including papers and articles and two screenplays, were addressed to an imaginary reader. It's communication.
Hey Karen, can we see a blueprint of your writing?
@@gillianobigiman4063 There is no blueprint. I tell my addressee what I'm thinking about and reread it so I know where I am in the world. I'm up to page 47. It has done more for me than I dared dream.
Try going back to pen/pencil and paper. You might be surprised at what happens...
@@snowyrain5730 very interested in what you mean by this
@@somethi3741 There's a very big difference between using some kind of technology to "write" and not doing so. Have you seen all those ads for "grammarly" ? Show me anyone who actually needs something like that to write anything at all (in their native language no less!) and I'll show you an idiot. Similarly, actually writing with a pen/pencil/paper is an organic process and therefore can provide insights while working you won't experience otherwise. Not to mention, you won't ruin your eyes by staring at a screen all day.
I credit Dr. Peterson’s lectures in helping me write and finish my tv show pilot and script for my own graphic novel. Maps of Meaning was a life changing course!
Good luck with your endeavors.
Kinda helps with the whole memory recall thing. I can remember in my middle school years having a friend from PR named Freedom. Wasn’t his real name and he barely spoke a lick of English. We nicknamed him Frito as a result because of how he annunciated his name in his broken English dialect and accent. However, his favorite snack was chocolate peanuts. For some reason I had a sense of awe and surrealism how he was so enthralled with the excess and accessibility to his favorite treat. Which, made me aware for a moment that he probably didn’t have it as good as I did before we met.

JORDAN! I made a list of 8 things I wanted from my life after completing the future authoring program. I went from depressed, not getting out of bed for days on end, not attending classes, working awful jobs… to getting my life oriented… I am set to finish school in April, I got a job working for the government & have been working religiously on my own projects/pursuits. I’m developing a healthy relationship with another person for the first time in years. I feel calm most of the time. I repeat the trajectory of my life to myself frequently.

I had zero desire to go after high school, 20+ years ago, and instead went straight to the work force but also went to a more affordable trade school. I’m grateful for videos such as JP’s so I can get an idea of indeed how to write my own story. Thank you, Jordan. ❤️🙏☮️
Maybe you may give me some advice, on how to cope because sometimes I feel like I'm losing I'm 22 yrs old men, trying to find means to stay sane and build a good future. I have no diploma, no degree but just high school certificate which is not doing a thing. My one dream is left in trading

Nothing like eating and watching an hour long Jordan Peterson talk. When I first found out about him I didn’t know he had videos this long, or a podcast even. Now I have something to watch besides movies and shows.
WOW!!! "You're either in love with what you know, or you're in love with what you don't know, and there's alot more of what you don't know, so pick you're love carefully..." WOW!!! Suddenly my humility doesn't have to cost me my self-confidence!!!
“Suddenly my humility doesn’t have to cost me my self-confidence.” WOW… wow YOU!
I've been a long-time follower of Dr. Peterson, but what really struck me about this video is Dr. Peterson's advocacy for the humanities. I am a student of History, and I have felt over the past several years this sense that my study, along with the rest of the sister disciplines in the humanities, have been denigrated constantly, accused of being an area of knowledge that no longer provides any sort of economic or moral value. The prevailing rhetoric now is that young people either have to get a STEM degree, or go into Trade School; there is nothing else in between that is a worthwhile effort. It seems as if there has been a moral darkening over the population, a growing fixation with what is practical and not with what is good. Yet we've seen with the handling of the pandemic that there is a need for a humanitarian education, because we are increasingly faced with the crises of unethical science and governmental policies. I hope that soon, Dr. Peterson will not have to dissuade people from studying the humanities, and that our western civilization once again rediscovers the importance of the humanities. After all, the study of the humanities was one of the only things that pulled Europe out of the Dark Ages and into the Renaissance and Age of Reason.
Indeed.
The humanities lost their prestige when they began to produce activists instead of thinkers.
This man is the kind of professor that I thought I would had at university but I never had
Same here bro. I studied in south korea. Profs mainly used power point and always read...😢 disappointed from univ. lectures😢
I wonder what Dr. Jordan Peterson's stance is on Neon Genesis Evangelion.
Like any brilliant artists, God only made a few.
The best professor I had in college gave me a C on my first written assignment in his class. I am actually pretty good with words, and pretty well-read, and I was accustomed to getting high marks on everything in all my classes and here I was with a C in front of me? Well, my writing was not concise, it didn't get to the point, it had unnecessary words. It was a linguistics course, not a writing course, but Wick Miller taught me how to write. And it was the best thing I learned out of all my classes.
One of the greatest gifts my father gave our family besides his unconditional love was his wonderful library of great literature. Thank you dad, and thank you always JP for your never-ending unconditional inspiration.

I can see, old as I am, how he would have been and I hope still is, a truly inspirational lecturer. The one you REALLY wanted to be in the class of. A true, great, teacher. THESE are the people we NEED in education, at every level. I studied a crap degree - as in it was great if you wanted to be a chartered accountant. But I did something called The International Management Programme...so I had an AMAZING professor lecturing on the papers in my 4th year, to do with international management. And that experience, was the first time I ever had my mind and horizons in an intellectual sense, truly broadened.
Free knowledge is the most valuable and powerful thing to me and I just started watching your lectures and know I can learn more from you. You’re work is more valuable than many realize I just wanted to thank you and I look forward to learning more.
Thank you for everything that you have done for all of us, Dr. Peterson!!!! Your dedication to your craft is immense, along with your passion and steadfastness to HELP people understand the world around them, and what they can do to make their lives better! Wether it be starting with dragging the vacuum cleaner into the doorway of one’s disastrous room, or organizing themselves personally to go on to be hyper successful in life - your work has reached millions of people, AND HELPED THEM. I personally have benefited greatly from your work, and you and I have never once met in person. Thank you for your time and energy!

About halfway through a man mentions a smoking addiction and how he realised he used it as an excuse to not do certain things. That was definitely a big part of it for me. It's sad but especially after I had my child and was done breastfeeding I started again because I was around it and that made it easier to pick it back up..but many family members were only willing to watch my child when I was smoking. So I kept smoking because "why not" (and I was depressed and stressed). Until I started to realise I didn't want a smokers cough and I didn't want to spend the money...then I realized I could just say I'm smoking but choose to breathe and take a moment instead. One family member did thankfully understand and was kind to knowingly watch my child for a bit while I just had a break (without smoking). Back to being honest..I discovered who I wanted around me and my child anyway vs who I didn't. The people that were refusing to watch my kid if I wasn't smoking...all of them ended up being people that I now cut out of my life for many reasons. Just being honest about that one thing was a big hint.
I've cut off my entire family so I understand this
I literally talked to my sons about NOT going to university because of the educational rot, the programming to become an “activist” or being molded into a mouth piece for political bias through indoctrination The both joined the Military and have great careers ahead of them. Hearing Dr Peterson talk about the decay of our higher educational system, confirms my choice of conversation with them

Speaking of financial freedom, I've been thinking about it a lot and the best option is to invest more because I don't think you can get very far depending on a single source of income. Investing can be intimidating for many people because there are so many options and it can be difficult to determine which investments are the right ones. I would like a recommendation if you have any?
Investors should be careful with their exposure and be careful about new purchases, especially during inflation. These high returns in this recession are only possible under the supervision of a trusted or professional advisor.

I really enjoyed this lecture Dr Peterson, thank you. I have always been curious of your further perspective on Buddhism and furthermore, holistic psychology, working with the connection between body and mind. Like you mention in this video that the ultimate maxim from Buddhism is "Life is suffering" but the Buddha also delivered a guide on how to elevate that suffering. I would love to hear your thoughts for example on how far you think a person can come in terms of feeling happiness, meaning etc, by working on him/herself from the inside, "from the root" as Buddha famously said. That is, in how I translate it, resolving trauma stored in your memory and body for example. I, for example, see myself as ultimately a spirit that is bound to the chains of misery and suffering due to this spirit being "locked in" by psychological mumbo-jumbo, that is, trauma that interrupts the natural flow of life (the natural flow of our spirit). If this trauma is addressed and leviated, our spirit will naturally guide us towards the life we naturally want to live. Because our natural state (spirit) is a state of joy, peace, clarity and love. Oh, how I would love to have a conversation with you about this haha. Anywas, thanks a lot Dr Peterson for your work, I truly admire you and your competence.

Hey. Can you say why? I’m fighting with the thought to buy and read it. Is it easy to read, like 12RFL and Beyond order? What do you learn from it?
@@hosseinakbari9609 I think it sets the baseline for all of the information that comes from the second two. Maps of meaning shows his thought process on how he gets to the conclusions he comes up with.
@@MichaelLabs ok. thank you
@@hosseinakbari9609 I would suggest reading 12 rules for life before reading maps of meaning. 12 rules for life goes into detail on some these ideas in maps of meaning but in a more understandable/graspable way. I started maps of meaning and as someone who didn’t really pay attention in high school and just got high a lot. It was very hard for me to understand but 12 rules of life was almost like an introduction of what maps of meaning was trying to convey.

Illuminating and insightful, Dr. Peterson!
Such a Fantastic lecture! Thank you Prof Peterson for letting me learn the life from you.
God I love jordan peterson. Listening to him really makes me find my direction in life and stave off depression and anxiety.
Dammit he's such a brilliant lecturer 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
I so appreciate that Jordon Peterson cared enough to follow through thoroughly, carefully and responsibility with an open mind to make this correlation between literature, spiritually, truth and God. +E
Get your words together man! Powerful message. Thanks Jordan. 😎
Waiting for Professor Jordan to come to Oslo!
He is coming this summer, I’ve already bought my ticket
@@leonhorn7727 Yes, me too. :)
I never trust words, I even question actions, But I never doubt patterns.
thank you very much for this beautiful narrative, Dr. Peterson
Some of the best advice I've received I wont go into here but for young folks and their concentration there's a critical element that society no longer pushes. Reading not a computer screen but printed words on paper. It exercises the brain. I was given this pearl by someone who archived two masters degrees.
Dr. Peterson, This was a great compilation that captures your findings on the power of writing, sorting out your past, and transcending it into a positive future. I particularly enjoyed Tim Ferriss’s point on how Viktor Frankl’s motivation to make it out of the concentration camps was to finish his book. I can’t divorce the connection between Frankl’s desire to finish that book (or his life’s work) and his aspiration and drive to return to and “finish” the life of righteous intent he had chosen for himself. He ultimately transcends the evil bestowed upon him and being the father of logotherapy and the author of Man’s Search for Meaning, I’d say he positively impacted not only his own circumstances but those of thousands of others taboot. He’s a perfect example of what you’re trying to convey here. But thank you always for your daily reminders of self-reliance and strategies for overcoming life’s inevitable suffering. You are changing so many lives for the good, just like Frankl.
I think one thing that hasn’t been mentioned, is that while writing is an extremely important part of life. Our own *handwriting* is so very important in this digital age. It is a skill that has the potential to become obsolete over just a generation or two.
Isnt it amazing the fact that if you change your handwriting your personality changes too? Amazing!
every time, every time I listen to Jordan I learn something (actually, soon I'm gonna start making notes to review everything)
