Last year I attempted suicide. I was newly single and jobless. I was living out of my truck and extremely lonely. I couldn't even afford data on my phone to properly communicate with the outside world, or my mother in England (I live in NZ). One day, when I was sitting outside a café, using their free wifi, I saw a suggested video pop up of a "Jordan Peterson Owns..." I clicked on it. It was entertaining. That led me to watch other videos of his and soon I found out that he wasn't just someone who puts people in their place- but a loving, caring man with great wisdom and knowledge on how to fix the mess I called my life. I parked outside that same café every night for a couple of weeks and I've been obsessed with his teachings ever since. I know he hears this a lot; and for good reason, but this man has literally saved my life. I keep his book on me like a bible and I revisit old lectures all the time. I'm no longer suicidal. I'm not longer homeless.
I have a room to clean.
Thank you, Dr. Peterson.

Edit:
I'm completely blown away by all the lovely messages from people from all over the world. It gives me a great feeling of global unity, that we are all one, fighting the same battle. Endless love and respect to you all. I wish you nothing but happiness.

An update to my life:
I just got a puppy. I guess you could say I took rule 12 a little too seriously and instead of petting a cat (in this case a dog) I actually adopted one.

Take care, love to you all.

I don’t think many other 17 year olds are watching this, but I for sure am. This man is amazing

[izagdlife]

When nobody else celebrates you, learn to celebrate yourself. We hope to see more like this.

[samuelbraddock]

Being 18 years old watching him is probably the best choice ive ever made

[rocheldick]

4 million people took an hour and thirty minutes out of their day to watch a lecture on how to better their lives. I officially have hope for the future.

What a shame that some colleges are prohibiting their students from hearing Jordan Peterson's very important lessons for life. What a great loss. What i've noticed in my "working class life" is that many of the younger people have found him and that his lectures are available online (youtube). We need more of this man and those like him.

I'm functionally depressed. Been listening to Peterson almos everyday for a few months now. Just cleaned my room today.

Edit: it's amazing how so many people in the comments don't see the analogy.

[ikravchik]

I feel like I just took my brain to a five star restaurant. Wonderful!

This Canadian guy is not just a buddy, he's a friend.

[williamwilkerson]

I am amazed at the amount of wisdom that he has been able to cram in his head, and then be able to recall it in a useful manner. He is amazing!!!!

[LordOfTheRings]

The moment I found Jordan Peterson, my love of learning returned. This world has really got me down. Jordan brings me hope.

I told my girlfriend he was my favorite psychologist to while we were on the subject of psychology. She stopped responding for a bit then told me she bought us tickets to see him along with a trip to where he’s talking next. What a gift.

The most important thing that should be on everyone's mind currently should be to invest in different sources of income that doesn't depend on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the word. This is still a good time to invest in various stocks, Gold, silver and digital currencies..

[JW-jlst]

This gives me hope. I'm not sure if this counts as a therapy session but to me it was incredible. Thank you Jordan Peterson

[flamingburritto]

The guy who introduces Dr. Peterson is so genuinely happy he is here.

[AnEpicMemer]

Imagine being able to watch this for free.

33 years old, No education or understanding before hand on life just lived it, feeling my way through. Listening and resonating so deeply with him with what i stumbled upon, fumbled, tumbled through life so far.. haha This man is everything to humanity

21:50 "You have a light you have to bring into the world, and if you don't bring it into the world, the world is a dimmer place, and that's a bad thing because when the world is a dimmer place it can get very very very dark." This is so profound in many ways. You caught me by surprise and put words to my 40 years of action, and got a tear as a reward. I like to think of my light as a torch to light others lights, I hope that makes sense Mr Peterson. Best of wishes to you. Thanks you for the mental health breaks :)
