Iceland: 12 Rules for Life Tour: Lecture 1

There are two videos from Iceland, covering different material. This is the first. The second is at (TBA).

I was in Iceland in June and gave two lectures (June 04, Lecture 1; June 05, Lecture 2), followed by a Q and A. I was hosted by Gunnlaugur Jonsson, who also introduced both talks.

I've been using the lectures as an opportunity to extend, develop and publicly test the ideas I presented in 12 Rules and Maps of Meaning.

My wife Tammy and I had a remarkable and memorable trip to Iceland. My mother and aunt also came for the adventure, and were treated with exceptional care by Gunnlaugur and his crew. We are looking forward to returning to Iceland in 2019,

Thank you very much to Halldór Fannar Kristjánsson (Sigurgeirsson) for the video recording and editing.

Peterson starts at 7:10. Upvote so others can see.

Dr. Peterson, you will go down in history as one of the most important intellectuals of our times. Maps of Meaning will continue to gain in significance for decades to come. Future psychologists, students, and intellectuals will be learning from you for generations.

I am turning 30 in 10 minutes. Cleaned the House today and did preparations for launching a new buisness. Listing to JBP now. Seems like a good Start for the next decade.

Very grateful for someone like Peterson in this world.

Listening to this man, for me at least, is like sitting in a snow covered car with someone clearing the windshield of snow and you start to see the world again as it should be seen.
As a fifty something year old man that’s been suffering badly with undiagnosed depression for at least ten years, I’m starting to feel I’m coming out of a dark hole, it’s like I’ve been handed a torch, in a dark cave and I can find my way back, with maybe a hint of sunlight as I walk my way back. It’s comforting to hear a lone voice of sense in a nonsensical world!

A Great Man! The World is a better place with Sir Jordan Peterson in it!

It occurs to me that the rule, "don't compare yourself to who someone else is today, compare yourself to who you were yesterday", is not only a defense against envy, but also a defense against pride, arrogance, and complacency.

About half a year ago I got a new home after living for years above an abusive land lord. After all those years of stress and anxiety I really didn't have much energy left to fix up my new home, because about everything needed doing: laying floors, painting walls, painting doors, etc. I couldn't see through all the work that needed doing and I became pretty desperate about whether I would be able to get anything done at all. And then I found Jordan Peterson and his videos and his book. He really taught me to carry my load and move forward to a place of betterment. I still haven't fixed everything that needed fixing and I'm a slow worker but I'm been trying to move forward inch by inch as best as I can manage and there were some complications as well but I don't think I would've gotten as far as I've got without the encouragement of Professor Peterson. My deepest thanks for your work sir.

I love Peterson's talks. He is misportrayed by the mainstream liberal left because he challenges the status quo. In order for the status quo to remain the status quo they can't have intelligent, free thinking, healthy individuals questioning the typical narrative. As he discusses in his talks the platform for long narrative discussions is great for engaging a well informed intelligent audience who is able to discuss important "controversial" topics with an open mind. Question everything, may peace be with us all.

Dr Peterson, you have a rare talent to make me listen very attentively to you telling me things that i already know.

[theoc.victor]

Ironing my shirts while listening to this, so I'm simultaneously ironing out my soul, technically speaking.

[garrettwidner]

This is the clearest, most well-structured speech you've ever given. Touring has really sharpened your focus. Fantastic. Thank you.

[kostazarikos]

Every time I hear sold out in reference to JP's lectures I smirk

[Hinchsta]

Just had to say, what an excellent introduction.
Bravo that man.

[jackthebasenji]

I love that Peterson takes a fluff question like, "How did you like the last Star Wars movie" and has a thoughtful answer.

[petergullick]

Isn't it refreshing to see him introduced correctly. Bravo.

[azza-in_this_day_and_age]

after the applause and his initial remark, the audience is just instantly silent and giving him full attention, and an earned respect. says a lot about JBP and his audience

[kundankumar]

Keep up the good work Mr Peterson. And know you have worldwide admirers. Even in India!

Dear character building teachers out there, please listen to Dr. Peterson, and your product will thank you one day.

Dear Jordan B Peterson, from the day one since I accidentally watch one of your videos, my life has become a better one. Thank you so much for sharing your "life building" lessons. Your videos are a beautiful treasure.
