From the original video on Jordan Peterson's channel "2014 Personality Lecture 11: Existentialism: Viktor Frankl". Viktor Frankl, a psychiatrist, wrote the famous book Man's Search for Meaning, a description of his experiences in the Nazi concentration camps, in an attempt to describe the need for a profound and meaningful life.

Jordan Bernt Peterson (born June 12, 1962) is a Canadian clinical psychologist, cultural critic and professor of psychology at the University of Toronto. His main areas of study are the psychology of religious and ideological belief, and the assessment and improvement of personality and performance. He authored Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief in 1999.

He's trying really hard not to say "clean your room". It's hilarious.

For some narrow minded people it may be the case, that the "existential space" has got just the same size as the rooms theyre living in. That's indeed "hilarious", to quote the comment above.

No, and again no. Jordan Peterson’s advice is not good advice for mental health and successful life. He is a quack pop psychologist. He and his cult followers are in some ways deluding themselves. Just think logically what he is doing. He is doing EXACTLY what people in religious cults do. They provide what they may present as a “solution” of some kind (in Peterson’s case his “genius” advice about self discipline) and they try to CONVINCE you that you have a problem and that this problem is exactly what HE is describing. In Peterson’s case, generally speaking, the problem is people’s lack of willingness, desire, discipline, defined set goals Etc. Basically his advice can be summed up in Shia Lebouf’s “just do it”.

But think, is this anything Peterson has discovered and invented? No. First he just knows that it will work for some people in his audience. 2nd, he can regurgitate existing knowledge and publish a bunch of books he wants you to buy; and he indirectly, maybe sometimes directly, dismisses over a hundred years of psychology and psychiatry.

His “just do it”, “just wake up early”, and “just clean your room” advice is essentially designed sneakily by him like a cure-all despite the fact that society was already holding this view before psychiatry even developed. It was not working. Rigid anti scientific society of the Victorian era and the first half of 20th century often simply blames the person as being lazy, and lacking willingness to fix their lives. But anyone who has been in a real depression, or real chronic anxiety knows that this is all bullshit and that it has nothing to do with the individual’s character.

Basically do not fall for Peterson’s quack pop psychology.

'Maybe if you stopped bullying yourself, the tragic conditions of existence would become bearable, because you would be strong enough to tolerate them.'
It's just something I really needed to hear
