I like to imagine he is talking to a room of confused looking kindergartners.

People with low self-esteem: "Oh great, first I had little and now I have none!"

[KnuckleHeadMusicUK]

I've personally found that confidence comes through earning self-respect. Self-development and achieving goals is key. Start small eg waking up on time or even just making your bed daily, then aim for slightly bigger goals and work your way up. Your confidence rises at the same rate, and it becomes clearer where you stand in life. Then when someone tries to knock you, you don't let it because you've earned what you have and you don't need to be told whether you deserve credit. That's why it's SELF-respect. I guess you have to prove to yourself with action that you are capable, only then you can believe and feel it.

My parents reinforced in my childhood the importance of agreeableness, putting other first, sacrifice my desires for someone else. I didn’t realize the consequences of that mindset until I graduated college. I wasn’t a great leader because I didn’t know how to speak my mind or form my own opinion. Managerial positions also don’t want people who are scared of correcting others.
Pro tip: learning how to become more disagreeable is very important

As George Carlin (RIP) once said: "The Self-Esteem Movement began in 1970 and I’m happy to say it’s been a complete failure... because studies have repeatedly shown that having high self-esteem does not improve grades, does not increase career achievement, does not limit the use of alcohol, and certainly does not reduce the incidence of violence of any sort because as it turns out, extremely aggressive, violent people think very highly of themselves. Imagine that! Sociopaths have high self-esteem! Who would have thunk?”"

Imagine if all teachers were like Jordan, school would be awesome, no one would miss a single class, imagine the strong students and future leaders.

I love this dude. He gets me totally. My depression and ptsd is too much for me, and I have thoughts of suicide. He helps pull me out of it most of the time. I wish I could meet him to tell him how grateful I am. I listen to him so much that I’ve adopted his manner of speaking, unintentionally. Lol. Pray for me, and love one another.

Ok but the line "Grant yourself the right to exist just like you do everyone else..." holds so much in it and he just passes through it like it's nothing.

"If you have a lot of negative emotion, you don't feel that good about yourself. Isn't that a surprise!" ---gotta love Dr. Peterson!!!

[saltmeiner]

This man saved my life. I was so close to the edge, i believed the normal things of a normal life was not for me, that those things were not my lot.

[omg-bhpg]

I think of it this way. Low self-esteem is really an anxiety that keeps one back from being assertive when it might be beneficial to do something.

"Self esteem is the disposition to experience oneself as competent to cope with the basic challenges of life and as worthy of Happiness"

[maddoxtolliver]

*i'd like to think just after the clip ends someone says, **_"THAT'S ALL GOOD, BUT SIR, THIS IS A WENDY'S."_*

[sofuknossum]

I like to think that Jordan is talking to an empty room in this video

Don't go for self-esteem. Go for self-acceptance and self-compassion

[robxnav]

Im trying to imagine how amazing it was for people to be taught by a teacher with such wisdom and passion.
