How the Self Authoring Program Works | Jordan B Peterson

Define what you want and specify what you don't want your future to hold. Find your purpose.

People who spend time writing carefully about themselves become happier, less anxious and depressed and physically healthier. They become more productive, persistent and engaged in life.

I did the future authorship program, 6 months later I had done everything on my plan an over doubled my already very good salary an started my own business and was working for myself which was all in my plan, after it I said I need to meet Dr Peterson shake his hand and tell him thank you, and I did exactly that in Manchester last year when I went to see him speak, I bought the meet and greet tickets I was front row no more then 2 meters from JBP almost the whole show, after it I got to say thanks and shake his hand, just like I visualised it, this man helped me improve my already good life, it is nearly 2 years since I did the future authorship and I have never had it better, I now need to redo the plan because I need new bigger goals

The idea that people already know what they need through their conscience but don't know how to get there, and telling them step by step how to get there won't help (generic self-help), and only by prompting them to *write* out what they need for themselves can the path become apprehended before them...that is one of his most profound understandings.

This lectures have changed my life, I can’t be grateful enough

I decided to start with Present Authoring: Virtues, but by the time I finished selecting traits I found I couldn’t write about how my life has been improved by them. Because all I could see was the Fault aspects of the traits, and how they had made my life worse. (And I hadn’t even completed the Faults part of the program yet.)

So, frustrated, and figuring that I was doing something wrong, I searched Jordan talking about the program on youtube. It’d been a while since I’d heard him speak about it, and I had decided to start the program on a whim years after purchasing it.

And like magic, the first video I watch solves my problem within the first 30 seconds lol Thank you Mr. Peterson.

I have to go in with the mindset that I’m someone worthy of respect and care. Part of me is kicking and spitting and cussing like a cat at vet’s office at the /thought/ of doing that. But what happens if you don’t take a ill cat to a vet? And what has become of me and my life as a result of not taking care of myself?

Suddenly I’m not fighting this exercise anymore.
Edit: Just because the cat’s been sedated, doesn’t mean the issues are gone. Now it’s time to get to work.

I'm planning to do the self-authoring Program too. His talks and lectures have changed my life, I'm utterly grateful.

How could anyone listen to this description of who the Self Authoring program helps the most and decide that JBP is a nazi or white nationalist or bigot or whatever they're labeling him with today?

[AgüeroJM]

The only thing i want to say to Mr Peterson it's thank you, from the bottom of my heart, thank you...

I’m 27(male).
I decided to buy the program on a whim, because I wanted to work on myself through writing.
Everything started off great until I started to detail my past experiences.
I went from feeling normal to breaking out crying unexpectedly as I started to type more.
I wasn’t expecting that reaction from me, but once I stopped crying I felt a lot better.
Did anyone else cry or release emotions while doing the program?
If so, did it have a positive or negative impact on you?

[ZetTroxX]

I can feel the potential in me wanting to break free. SO grateful for this <3

3:34 Dr. Peterson: "it works better for men"
Cathy Newman: "so you're saying you don't want to help women?"

[StoicBarbarian]

You don't have to buy any program. He just laid it out right here. Great advice.

[davidescobar]

Excellent I'm just starting Self Authoring. Anyone who already did it. How it was? Did work for you?

[evanrogers]

Oh hey, this was at Liberty University! I work there!

In another lecture he described women's mostly being agreeable.
I expounded that many agreeable people by excepting so much end up on the treadmill of the historical male work profile. Whereby many seem to end up chasing their own tail in to the oblivion of past historical mistakes, such as the monarch type control of the elites or the vacuum of personal choices & freedoms of the Chinese Communist model. Men though it took millenia and millions of lives, even those lost in our revolution to be less agreeable enough to fight for the freedoms many formerly oppressed now enjoy. Thus the purpose for men in advancing societal progress through a Christian model of moral & ethics, even though it produced the greatest outcome of humanity's existence is being thwarted by the agreeable hordes willing to kiss up to any length dispite moral or detriment to others or society even humanity in general for a pavlovian dog's reward for now sacrificing the future of human kind and potentially the planet itself

[majakawalio]

Ok, so... let's work from the start - We are worthy of care and respect and there is something valuable in us that could be developed... I feel it's the main thing to overcome. Does the programm cover this fundamental issue?
Also would be great if the Program was translated to Polish!
Thank you : )

Jordan Peterson just took us through Dante’s “Divine Comedy”

If you need my support please get me.

Can i really improve my neuroticism though? You said in your personality course its hard to improve the trait neuroticism & it will takes a lifetime. Why do i feel like my fate is set in stone. I dont like someone or life telling me what i can or cannot do just because i have a high neuroticism.

In the self-authoring program, do you write something very personal and electronically transfer it or email it to the self-authoring website?
Is there data security?

[n.c.]

I want to ask people who have used the program: my husband does not write. He won't sit and write. Can we do this together and can we record him verbally answering? Or with me jotting down sketch notes? Is this something that could be done in a rough manner ?
