I love this man’s classes so much. He’s a genius of course, but his delivery is spectacular. I’m grateful he publishes so many of his classes here so we have a chance to learn from him. Thank you Dr. Peterson.

I have seen this lesson displayed through my own experiences and jordan peterson many times. To be courageous is not to be fearless, but to be afraid and keep going anyway. To be good is not to be incapable of harm or evil, it is to have the capability to do either good or evil and to choose good anyway.

I'm studying to become a mental health counselor and this was just an amazing segment to take in.

Thank you Mr Peterson. Even those two words can’t convey the impact your lectures have had on my psyche. You are changing futures. Your well-being is of the utmost importance! May God speed your body, mind and pen.

Man would I love a brilliant therapist like Jordan Peterson. I’m such a hot messed up jumble of mental gymnastics.

There is nothing wrong with being scared. There is a lot wrong when being scared stops you from doing things that you want or need to do, but fear is good. Like JBP said, it's not about becoming less scared, it's about becoming more brave.

I'm a psychology students but I always get bored in class. But somehow i don't understand how I don't get a slight bored feeling watching this

Most people are afraid of what they shouldn't be and have no fear of what they should be afraid of.

When you get better it always metastasizes into M.D.D . It did with me. Then I looked at my genetics and there my family members were. Dead from depression related circumstances.

[WolfLeveledUp]

I undersatand the danger. I'm just not afraid of death. But i'm afraid of living, asking a girl out, hanging out with freinds, and leaving my home. What's my mental disability?

[veronicalopes]

[kevinmotz]

I wonder how the students are able to focus on prof Peterson with all that screens in front of them. Just crazy. Close the lid people and listen what this man has to say.

[Adam-uiyn]

As usual very insightful lesson by Dr.Peterson. If we're being nit picky I disagree with his example of not knowing the gender of the person beside you. As a young male in school my brain automatically knows when there are females present, especially attractive ones. If a pretty girl is sitting beside me you can guarantee that will be in the back of my mind for as long as she's there.

Why do these kids need to be on a screen during a lecture? They can't just focus on this brilliant man and take notes with a pen?
