I am a 15 year old girl. I had childhood trauma and I felt that there was no way my life could be normal again. But stumbled across your videos I watched them and I have full faith now that I can overcome my self doubt and insecurities. Thank you from the bottom of my heart sir💖🙏

I'm in my late twenties and almost about to give up. My life has become a joke at my own fault. I'm trying to recover through JP's teaching which I wish I knew before.

I hardly knew or understood myself before listening to the works of Jordan Peterson. It has been a difficult road. The more I learned, the dumber I felt, and the more self chastising. I am still on the bumpy road...went off into the ditch a time or two and thought it easier to stay put, but here I am again. I don't think there is much help for me in my 70th year, but what help there is lies in the words of Professor Peterson.

Will you tour North America again? You're the only celebrity I've ever wanted to meet.

Doctor Peterson is a voice of reason in the current sea of anti-human ideology. People like him restore my faith in myself and humanity.

Doctor Peterson’s words have really helped me to get on the path to being a better man. Looking forward to the new book!

[meinking]

Dr. Peterson appears to look healthier in each video. This is heartening. He seems to be making great progress in his recovery.

[PsychotherapyAnaZoreGrmek]

The reflection of our archetypal patterns that you talked about is also being shown through your presence dr. Peterson. Showing how one can knowingly confront the unknown is truly worth witnessing, thank you.

[raindropsfukushemiaflavore]

So happy you are feeling better. Our humans need your brilliance to bring light to their consciousness.
Know you are appreciated and loved.

[JohnSmith-ffde]

This man is a gift from God sent for benefit of all humanity. O ye who believe; pray for his recovery. May the good Lord make him strong again and free from all suffering. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray amen.

a few moments ago I was informed about a terrible, horrible thing someone has been doing, and as I thought about it, nihilism struck me and I began to think that every person is horrible and to hell with this seemingly god-forsaken planet. as I was being overwhelmed with negative thinking I found this video and was able to shove away those wretched thoughts by being reminded of all Dr. Peterson has taught me. I've followed Dr, Peterson for a bit now, and thinking back to his biblical series on the psychological significance of the story of genesis helps me deal with the struggles of life and the world. thank you so incredibly much, Dr. Peterson, I couldn't possibly overstate the good you have done for my life.

I'm doing your self authoring programme. It's helping me tremendously but it's also bringing up a lot of repressed traumatic memories - I hope the latter means I am healing from my childhood abuse and coming to terms with it. If anyone reads this, I recommend doing it❤️ I can't wait for your new book!

[jonsnow]

I live in Brazil and i started to watch your lectures when i was 16. And you helped me to make sense of the world and find a meaningful patch thank you. And watching your lectures also helped me to learn english.

[diannemacadam]

Dr. Peterson, I see you getting closer and closer to good health and I can’t tell you how happy this makes me. I hope you really are feeling better. You are so needed on this planet today. ❤️

[andrewlamb]

Thank you, Dr. Peterson. I hit a low and your work always brings me back up and gives me strength. I am so grateful for what you do, thankful that your health has improved and that we didn't lose you. Please continue to focus on your well-being and thank you for still working in the name of helping others. Your loving fans are wishing you all of the best!

[jamesmccloud]

Thank you Jordan Peterson for all the work you've done. I am 16 years old and I am still not sure what I want to be in the future. Your book and online lectures really helped me a lot in terms of finding meaning and handling responsibility. So thank you. Love from the Philippines!

[RealMenRealStyle]

Thank you for this video Dr. Peterson - very excited for this next book! Love this lesson - Imagine who you can work to become that person!

Have been listening to a lot of Jordan Peterson recently. I've been trying to tidy my room since last year, well all my life actually and I'm 32. I've always completely understood the value of having an ordered space around me and that the state of my room directly correlates with the state of my mind. Just started a new job today as I thought part of my problem was an uninspiring job and that this would be a positive change, but I don't know if I can even manage to go back in tomorrow. Nothing changed, I still feel no positive emotional reaction to something which in the not too distant past was something that excited and inspired me, and this was hugely disappointing today, but I think I knew I couldn't run away from myself. Nothing interests me any more, even music which I thought I couldn't live without. But these talks and podcasts etc do interest me and so maybe the answer lies in them and also learning as much as possible through reading and listening. When I was younger I had so much hope and confidence in who I would become as an adult but never really vocalised these thoughts due to incredible shyness, and if at times I did explore a creative path in life I was discouraged by one of the most creative influences in my life. And now my mind has completely digressed to where I can't see past today. Honestly all I want to do is go and live alone somewhere remote and peaceful. Until then I'll try and find peace in my mind through education and inspiration from people like Peterson and those who write comments like those below. Maybe reading Dostoevsky isn't the the best start - notes from underground is proving a good read though.
