The greatest battles you will ever face, are those that are in the battlefield of the mind

J. Peterson is doing what my parents, teachers and everybody in my life never did. Showing me the very me.

An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. “A fight is going on inside me, ” he said to the boy.
“It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.” He continued, “The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too.”
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”
The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”

The end of the video is profound.

"The key to the prevention of the horrors a person does in the future is the reconstruction of the individual soul at the level of each individual"

I sure wish I found these lectures back in high school. Better late than never, I guess

[johnyannelli]

I wish I had discovered this man years ago. I wish I could have studied with him. He is a genius, it is that simple.

It’s always impressive to listen to him express those profound and complicated ideas with such ease. A great mind.

I lost my first business and went bankrupt, I tried really hard but there are things I could have done differently, there are things I couldve done better and mistakes I definitely made. Losing it set me back years in my career but I watch videos like this to try and resolve that within myself healthily, so I dont repeat the same mistakes

[yaydos]

This is really deep. I can totally relate to doing something wrong, knowing it is wrong but still doing it

Prof Peterson is probably the most lucid and self aware human i know of.

These words are currently helping me…

I learn as much from the comments as I do from JP. I am blessed by the introspection, wisdom and eloquentness of you all. Wishing you all a blessed 2020.

Darkness can be a strength if you know how to utilize it and turn it into a positive, its not easy and for some not realistic. But it has been my greatest advantage over others. Adhd, ptsd, bipolar, anxiety, psychoses, type 1 diabetic and im still here, giving up is not an option for me and heres why. I want to see the end of my own story. Never give up folks things do get better with lots of effort ofcourse. have patience and appreciation for yourself and 1 day and goal at a time.

Genius. Absolutely a huge help for those of us who did suffer abuse by the hands of our "loved ones."

"the truth has a certain ring to it" Hemingway said .. for me it sounds like beautiful music and this speech almost moved me to tears starting at around minute 10:00

I'm been in a pit of nihilism in the past months, I really needed this.

Write. Just write about your feelings. Then you don't need to act on them. Draw, paint, sing, dance, act in a play...dress up in silly outfits...do what you need to do, but harm none....

I love how his own most strongly held principles shine through in his lectures. I can almost see JP telling himself he's got no right to judge others until he gets his own house in order. He'll tell you the same thing because he truly believes it. It's so refreshing to see someone who isn't selling something. He's just telling you the truth as he sees it. In this day and age, simple honesty like that is so unexpected and so refreshing it's almost enough to make a ya cry.
