Feels like a gift to live in a time where this guy is alive

[markmurphy]

I was here for this event in Dublin. Sat near the front, on your left hand side. I have followed you for many years now, Dr Peterson. I simply can not put into words the ways in which you have changed my life for the better. It is through your words and your attempts to convey the truth that has allowed me to pursue it in my own right. I know in your humility you would deflect my admiration and point it towards the great thinkers that came before you. However, it is you, here and now, that has affected all of us here and the culture at large. We are blessed to have you. Stayed blessed sir.

Without Jordan Peterson I would have never realized how pathetic I was, and who's job it was to change. Hope and God feeds the soul I didn't realize I had.
Thank you

[lilymembu]

The wife introducing him is so lovely. I mean. Amazing to see the core of family representing even at the forefront of a lecture

[newfreenayshaun]

My room is almost clean, thank you Dr. Jordan Peterson!

Once you start listening to JP there's no stopping midway no matter how long the lectures.

[danieldosso]

Watching this on Youtube, I started crying when he mentioned the example of being at a music concert and someone comes up to you and says, "you know this is going to end, right?"

I've been struggling with suicidal thoughts for the past year, and depression for much, much longer than that. My sense of self worth has eroded over many years, losing weight is really difficult, and made all the more so because I stress-eat.

As a really little kid, I remember always loving life, and these days I struggle to find anything worth really enjoying. I got in to the Food Industry right out of highschool because I hated learning, in highschool, and just wanted a way to apply myself rather than talk about theoreticals and math equations that 90% of us students would never use.

I hope Jordan Peterson's words can touch others like it does me, and at least start a spark of life in us as a society again.

Thanks Dr P, best therapist I've ever had, and have never even met

[FakeAmerican]

I'm nowhere near as sophisticated, educated or intelligent as Dr. Peterson, but, I can't help but feel that I already know some of the things he says from a social perspective but can never put it into words until he says them. Truly a gift to my mental being.

Cleaning my room while listening to a new JP lecture is quite therapeutic.

Thanks for the video Dr. Peterson

[calebmorgan]

Being the pompous atheist thru my esrly 20s then finding JP and understanding the all thru the lense he views the world. I get it now, not to mention the change in my own life - going from living with my mom at 27, 20hr job, sleeping with a new girl every other day. To now 32 having a family, wife, and a daughter, along with a career as a union iron worker making 2x more than I was just 3 years ago. Thank you Jp. Thank you, for everything.

Just clicked on Jordan's channel, and saw a new video 40 second old! What a treat❤❤❤

[bikechannel]

As a black man that can't identify with his own community I appreciate the video. What depresses me the most is the way any type of people blame their depression on race. Grow up black man!

[evil-scotsman]

You have helped me more than you could ever know Dr peterson 💚

[Jordy_NL]

Just the energy of the crowd and the introduction by Tammy Peterson and the coming on stage of dr. Peterson was already great to watch.

[TrudentDentiiey]

I wrote this comment dedicating my gratitude to you Dr Jordan B. Peterson I am from South Africa I think it's been 4 years since I started to know you and I was 17years old I was motivated about your talks and that has made me to be the better vision of my self, I perhaps do not spend a day without watching to your YouTube video and I even bought your books this year 12 rules of life I read it everyday because that is the part of my routine...I am pleased to inform you the fact that I am in university aim high on my career I am having outstanding grades so by so saying you have been powerful weapon to my journey my life has changed in a rapid rate... May God bless you more and up lift you to the highest level🤝

[chaplain]

It's been 3 years since I first heard about this man. I've gone through so many of his lectures and one lecture I remember distinctly was the "Take up a responsibility and carry your cross" "As pathetic as you are, at least you can show the world that you are carrying a cross on your shoulder"
Looking back at it now, it's been quite a journey. Finally moving forward with life and working towards a goal instead indulging in pointless pleasures in life. Thanks JP.

It's great to be able to see what a Jordan Peterson public lecture is like. I tried to get tickets to hear him in Europe last autumn but couldn't get any of the ticketing websites to work properly. Wonderful to see thousands of Irish fans giving Dr Peterson such a warm welcome. He is such a gifted speaker. I'll try to hear him live when he returns to Europe later this year. Good to see the YouTube subscribers edging closer to the eight million mark. The two 12 Rules For Life books have helped me no end, I read each of them twice in the space of a few weeks last summer. What a positive effect Dr Peterson has had on millions of us around the world, long may it continue. 👍❤

The world is a better place for having Jordan Peterson

[afringedgentian]

Oh I just can’t BELIEVE we get this. I have been LONGING to see more of the Beyond Order lectures and I wasn’t sure we were going to get them. I am thrilled, absolutely thrilled, and overflowing with gratitude!
Dearest Dr. Peterson, I can’t believe I get to come see you NEXT WEEK. You will know me because I will be wearing a beautiful blue dress. A dress I bought two years ago when I hoped to come and see you the last time you came to Boston but I was not able to come. And you got so sick that spring and you didn’t know if you could make it, either. But I saved that dress for the occasion of coming to see you. And I also have a traveling companion for whom I want to be especially beautiful, as it were.
I can’t express how I am looking forward to it.
With Ruth Anne’s love
