The way this book, Raising Warriors: Preparing Your Children for a Godly Life is written makes it so engaging. I couldn’t put it down! It motivates you to take parenting seriously while also making you feel like you can succeed

this man talks so much sense it's ridiculous

In case 2:22 doesn't make sense to anybody, OISE is the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (aka teacher's college).

One thing Peterson doesn't get enough credit for, he's really funny.

Even though all these clips are from a full lecture, It feels like (watching a few over the last few days) that the guy beside him is just happy to be silent listening to his genius forever ha

Oh I thought he was talking about CS:GO and Overwatch lol

jordan peterson is an incredible human being and i am gifted to have him in my life as a teacher and transcriber of otherwise clouded undefined thoughts into grounded words we can all understand.

Who is arguing against competitive games? All I saw this man do was explain the very very very basic fundamentals of what we call "sports psychology". Nothing in this was profound. I go through these comments and it's like people are amazed. At what people? I feel like he also completely disregards the state of where childrens' sports are, at least in the U.S. And how sports have become more and more competitive for children at a younger and younger age.

Life is mostly a competition, if you learn to compete late you will lose.

Where was this video when I was doing my Silver 2 promos in LoL...

[alexanderflores]

made me regret not doing a team sport growing up : \

[georgemichaels]

I love how Peterson has a personal Yes man servant

Hockey does contain both cooperation and competition. People on either side of such an argument would agree to that, right? So isn't the issue for those against competitive games the effects of the competitive aspects?

[SirKhalsa]

im confused, didnt he just explain the importance of co-operation, not competition? can someone explain plez?

[caucasianafrican]

Can anyone understand that very first question that's asked?

[marsbel]

Is he talking about Victor-Arthur Piégay ???

[CheshireAndAliceee]

Ooh, does he elaborate on female and male competition? that's interesting
