12 Rules for Life (Animated) - Jordan Peterson

Have you checked out 12 Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson yet? An absolute amazing book, I actually listened to most of it on Audible :)

1) Stand up straight with your shoulders back
2) Treat yourself like someone you would be responsible for helping
3) Make friends with people who want the best for you
4) Compare yourself with who you were yesterday, not to who somebody else is today
5) Do not let your children do anything that makes you dislike them
6) Set your house in perfect order before you criticize the world
7) Pursue what is meaningful, not what is expedient
8) Tell the truth - or at least don't lie
9) Assume that the person you're listening to might know something that you don't
10) Be precise in your speech
11) Do not bother children when they are skateboarding
12) Pet a cat when you encounter one on the street

You yourself are your greatest competitor, your greatest friend and your greatest enemy!
And so you should aspire to be the strongest version of YOU, not of somebody else! 💪

Investing in an animator was the best idea you had .. this video took the quality of the experience to the roof.. keep going :D

Rule 1 explanation is imprecise. It's not about being confident but about willingness to be vulnerable/transparent/can be criticized and still move on and do action.

Confidence tend to be superficial unless you are already competent. Now if you are already competent then confidence is natural which renders the rule moot.

So the rule is not about confidence because the premise is the person is not confident in the first place. The rule is about being open to experience and be courageous in spite of the risk taken and confront it face-up shoulders straight. It is a rule that calls upon an adventurous spirit towards the unknown. You are not confident, but rather you are courageous. There is an ocean of difference.

The motto would be "i am not sure i will be able to do it and most likely i'll fail but in spite of it, i will face it head-on because i'm pretty sure my best will amount to something valuable regardless of the outcome".

I would say you misinterpreted number 6 rather badly. The point of setting your house in perfect order before criticizing the world is that if you cannot control your own very small sphere of influence to a high degree, then you're not qualified to even begin to examine larger and much more complex systems such as global problems. Virtually nobody is able on an individual level to accurately understand global issues, let alone critique and fix them. That's the point.

This is like a really great “trailer” but I recommend everyone go watch JP’s 1.5 hours of talking on each rule!

Whatcha think of this animation style?

Red Lobster: Stay away from our lobsters!

JBP: are you standing straight with your shoulders back?

The discussion of the rules was the real meat of the book. This is not a book who's benefit can be fully gotten without reading it. Part of why it's amazing is the mentorship and guidance of Dr Peterson

After reading this too many times, I now, sleep with my shoulders back and have achieved the ability to exude confidence to the people in my dreams and dominate my unconcious life.

Jordan teaches you not to be a victim, which is why so many people see him as a huge threat, their ideology is based on being a victim. And it's ironic, the people that protest him are the people that need to listen to him the most.

My mom was absolutely a helicopter parent and I am greatly aware of my issues that have developed from it and yet don't know how to grow out of it... I have fear to do what I need to and a life of suffering doesn't seem worth living. I've had way too much cushion in life... My sister on the other had was raised passively and she's self centered but a go getter and successful
