I've been struggling with these things all my life and since digesting professor Petersons words and putting them into action, in just 8 months my life about turned from suicidal to getting in work, facing the debtor's, improving health, also smaller things like losing weight, dressing tidyish) and I can for once in my life look forward positively and actually making plans to enjoy my life. I have never been able to even think of the future never mind plan it. No joke, Jordan Petersons material is worth more than gold. Honestly, try it, keep it up, it's not easy, intact it's very hard at times but just give it time and weather it's a month, a year or more I don't know but when it starts to shift and it's slow at first but before you know you're flying and I have confidence in myself now I have the manual. Thankyou so much professor Peterson. With love from my new life.xxx

Jordan Peterson is a truly remarkable man. I searched Jordan’s YouTube video’s and found this gem.
I am facing job at the end of January and it was truly a situation where a toxic executive decided I was expendable because he saw me as a threat.
I know I am being wrongfully dismissed and I am distraught by the thought of facing a difficult job market.
I was in overwhelm since I was told on Monday. Listening to this video is helping me put things in perspective

thanks for making this bit sized with labels so we can refind things..I have listened to so many hours, I have no clue how to refind parts until now...

dealing with skitzophrenia and ocd was hell before going to the hospital.
keeping up with goals, a planer, and taking meds makes life so so so much better. having lived this long is incredible.

For a while I was absolutely convinced that I would be left without an intellectual role-model after the untimely death of Christopher Hitchens. Dr. Peterson, you have proved me wrong and I can't thank you enough.

[fullplates]

What a gift to be able to speak such complexities with such simplicity. Thank you.

[jessiedavid]

It is extraordinarily difficult indeed, and isolatingly stressful. I wish I had been prepared better. This has helped me immensely to understand.

[aoming]

Serious Lee, I feel exactly the same. I really feel that I have become a mental olympic Gymnast when listening to J. P!

[Azharjavad]

Jordan peterson is one of the meaningful personality on youtube..

[Thomassina]

4:14 is very useful by clarifying what happens to people when overwhelmed.

[pedroheberle]

This one is his best so far. It is so sensible and wise and carefully constructed (his language, I just noticed today how impeccably used his language is), and it has helped me understand so many things in such little a stretch of time I will find the means to thank him someday.

Figuring out who I am is extremely difficult for me, mostly because I don't really understand 'having an identity'...
I'm a 28yo Belgian male and I've been looking for a life that suits me for over 10 years.

- at 14, I started as a 'flagguy' at an indoor karting, was the mechanic when I left (just Honda 250cc 4 strokes so nothing too crazy).
-at 18, I took a chemistry class and started working at Fina (same job as Homer Simpson).
-at 21, I started working in a restaurant.
-at 22, i started as a windowcleaner in a company. A few months later, the same company asked me if i would like to start in their heavy duty cleaning team(suicides, murders, familydrama's)
-at 24, I started working as a mechanic for cleaning machines ( the ones that clean supermarkets with the substractor on the back)
-at 25, I bought a small Greek restaurant with my sister
-at 27, i started working in the same restaurant that I worked in at 21. Then someone approached me and asked if I was interested in becoming a drone pilot. So i took the class(3000€!!!!) and just recently finished it.
Now at 28, a good friend asked me if I wanted to go with him to Angola, Afrika for work i don't really know yet.


Does anyone recognize this in any way? Can you please leave a comment because I don't know anymore. It feels like I'm floating on the open sea in a stupid broken boat. . Thank you for reading my nonsense.

Very relevant today more than ever. Jordan, thank you for all you do sir.

[ms.marciasonkosi]

Lights just came back on. We had loadshedding earlier. I came across this video. All I can say is Thank You 🙏

[deboraholiver]

This made sense of what happened today .... how my path was so smooth and clear constrained chaos underneath everything inhibited by your contextual knowledge suddenly popped it's head up to your world... it's like the shark in the movie I was so frustrated.... now I'm like... ok.... that's a good way of looking at his day. Everything was going so smoothly until the various subterranean thing popped up in each circumstance that can pull you down and interrupt the peace in the good purposeful activities taking place. Those things were not relevant to the good purpose or activities, plans.... then he goes off on some other idea of thought. I will think of this each time we have a meeting or something goes so wrong like when the neighbor decided to kick my dog.... "Subterranean thing emerging again.... I'll stay the course.

The closing analogy he used about the beast outside the cave registered for me as a warrior fled inside a cave, and a beast with an unknown size lurks on the outside. What does a warrior do? Does he do what we do in modern times and panic about the adversity that could be lurking outside of the cave how big is it how big are its claws what will happen to me in the next few days in the next few hours can I handle this? I feel like a warrior would have preparation and bravery in his arsenal, so we should do the same. And if you’re not prepared for whatever kind of beast, you’re dealing with just have a shit ton of bravery.

I'm not an idiot by any means, but some things Jordan speaks about either goes way over my head, or takes days to finally figure out!

If I hear a lecture start with “ookey so” I’m listening until the end. I know who’s lecturing 😂

I almost cried walking down the street.
