I grew up without my dad, and I coach several children who are growing up without theirs. This is spot on, Jordan, thanks.

Everyone wants more power, but no one wants to take responsibility. That's the current situation

Man I could sit through a 10 hour long Peterson lecture with no problem, with Youtube Ive essentially done that lol

"If your father rejects you, it is as if the spirit of civilization has left you outside of its walls". This is the best description of how i felt most of my life, but i couldnt name it. He is so good with his presice language. Being able to name something, seema necessary for getting clarity in Life. Thank you Jordan Peterson

My dad is an empathetic, encouraging, hilarious, kind, warm & incredibly intelligent man who has an endless desire to help those around him. When I'm at my low he's ALWAYS there with his optimism and encouragement for me to work on my brain exercises. I honestly don't remember a time he's ever put me down or said something negative to me. He's built up an optimism and inner peace that he worked very hard at during a difficult period in his life- a peace and self-contentedness which extends to everyone he meets. I hope to achieve this love one day. I could go on and on but yes, I am incredibly grateful and lucky to have a human like him as my father and life coach.

My father passed this week, around 700 people came to the wake and there was a massive outpouring of love and support from friends and family. I always knew my dad was special but this week has really put it into perspective. After hearing this clip and reading the comment section it’s making it even clearer how fortunate I am to have had such a loving honest humble funny supportive man in my life.

I love you dad
RIP
See you again some day

“The more responsibility you take on the more meaning your life has. The higher degree of responsibility that you agree voluntarily to try and bare, the richer your life will be.”

This should be the mantra we all live by. So powerful. So true! Thank you, Peterson!

Wow. Just wow. What an unbelievable human being. Those students in that class are witnessing brilliance live.

My Father was an abusive drug peddler who finally got arrested for having sex with a minor. My grandfather, who raised me during my later childhood, told me I was worthless and would end up as a hobo. And when I was on the streets begging for money, he was just going to laugh...I was 9. Everything Peterson has said is so fundamentally true in ways I can't even describe.

Man, father's make such dumb mistakes, I never understud why my father leaved my mother, we were an all right family, my father had his mistakes like, he yell a lot, and my mother was the opposite, totally calm and caring(overbearing) so he leaved the house and all hell broke lose, I'm 22 and it's being Almost 12 years, and it took me so much courage to go out into the world, my relationship with my father it's not what I wanted but we still talk from time to time, the absence of my father has hit us hard because, my mother never married after that, we never had a male figure who could encourage us, 5 months ago I found this man, Jordan Peterson, he's the closest thing to a father I had, and thank God for that, my brothers are going through that same path but I can change that, at least I can motivate them to be something else, and all of that it's thanks to Jordan, he gave me courage
thank you sir

My mothers was a freaking violent nazi who beat me up with sticks and went as far as putting a knife on my throat when I rebelled against her violence and kept telling me I was going to be a loser like my dad and my father, although a loving and idealistic one with a lot of optimism was an emotionnal wreck and a terrible role model who never taught me how to defend myself.Add to this that being a son of immigrants, I had to put up with discrimination daily growing up in Montreal in the fifties.My life has, despite my great lust for life and strong drive has been a mess of bad judgment and bad decisions, and out of that my brother became a drug addict and commited suicide.
Young people who have the chance to be exposed to Dr Peterson teachings and guidance should consider themselves very privileged.

Doc, you're the father that every man of the millennial generation needs.

[infentiemk]

the last part gave me a tear, i am 17 and i would love that this gets to as much young people as possible, he is totally right

[jamesnielsen]

So important for men to learn to be strong, competent, and a healthy "rock" for the family. So important! My Father was weak and absent, I paid a dear price - so did those close to me. But yes, we can recover, FIND A MENTOR & GET STRONG, FACE THE STRUGGLE! You can!

[tysonalba]

Well said im a fatherless child but i take my responibility for myself from now on!thank you mister peterson you are my figure!

I grew up without a father. My mother handled my upbringing pretty well and I haven't felt disadvantaged in any way, was able to break through adversity, do well in my academic and social pursuits. That is, until life started to show its ugly, satanic face. Suddenly the satanic reality of destruction, betrayal, psychological breakdown and ugliness of existence hit me hard on all fronts - geopolitical realities of ethnic cleansing and war, viciousness of women and betrayal when you're at your weakest, encounter with a monster within - seeing what I and the world around me are capable of... Hell is a real place. Thank you for being a father for me, Jordan. I hope I can survive this and find beauty again.

This man is an incredibly insightful lecturer.

[derekstark]

my dad made me the man I am today - beyond grateful for him.
