"You have to believe your actions have some redemptive possibility"

This just hits the nail on it's head.

[michaelyadchuk]

Dr. Peterson! I'm 18 years-old and trapped inside of a perpetual Purgatory but I escaped Hell thanks to you. Over the last year and a half you opened up my eyes to the fact that there is a lot of order and stability on which my culture rests.. guided at least at its core by Judeo-Christian values. I've mostly stayed away from the social world but when I talk, I often accidentally imitate the characteristic themes of your speaking. The patterns of thought you've outlined in "Maps of Meaning" and "Personality and its Transformations" often encourage me during daily runs, weight-lifting, or while I strive stupidly and blindly to be "the best dish-washer" and prep person at Taco Bell. I struggle severely with amphetamine addiction to motivate myself to sit stupidly and quietly in college.. long enough to find real meaning and truth buried in the shallowness and ease of a lot of classes and the "tacit" mentalities of my classmates. I'm trying to quit and I'm making the most meaningful moral choices that I can conjure up.

Maybe it's stupid to pretend I'm writing this to you specifically but screw it. I'm sick of repressing my words to conform to the shallowness of the world. You made Christianity meaningful to me. You saved my life by awakening possibility in me. And even though I've hit a long plateau for the last 9 months, I'm treading it with a certain superordinate grace and faith. God bless you.

I so appreciate that he says "something you might do as a clinician OR as a friend or as a partner." Helping someone heal is not sacred to the realm of the clinical.

I came back listening to you sir after a year or so....I am on this path and have bettered my life and trying to better the world around me ...thanks a lot sir ... gratitude

Honestly, as soon as I started going to church a few months ago, my overall mood has been consistently high. Much higher than I can ever recall. It's helpful to have real connections and to turn your focus outside of yourself towards something greater.

Thank you Jordan for being my therapy almost daily. I fail daily but one day I will bring about the changes in my life that would make you proud of what youre doing for people.

Watching this giant of a man in the flow state, so excited by communicating with his peers in humanity. Fellow travellers looking to lift themselves up. Employing a sophisticated story to convey a message to that aim. Just bloody marvellous eh. Thanks Doc 🙏🔥

This man has earned every penny he has, through hard work. This isn't easy at all!
He makes it look easy, but he combined many great thinkers ideas in a way to provide practical
benefit.

After the first step is the next step! The most important step a person can take.

Great reminder on the power of small, consistent actions! 🌟 Focusing on incremental improvements truly compounds over time and creates lasting change.

- Stop drinking or at least stop binge drinking.
- Get to bed early and get enough sleep. (this is crucial)
- Get out every day.

If any of those are difficult, talk to your doc about meds to help get you where you need to be. Therapy is hit or miss unfortunately, but it's worth trying if your insurance covers it.

Ive never not known the sense of depression, its been a feeling deeply entrenched in my day to day life sense I was a teenager. Anyone else?

[DavidPereiraLima]

Seein Dr. Peterson bringing wisdom to a captive crowd is a thing I only imagined, but at the time, the turn of the decade I thought of him as a more reserved college professor at most, involved accidentaly into chaos by political activists who would share bits of knowledge to young (at the time) people. I'm glad this is actually happening, amazing. Those who kicked him out of the system and took away his license out of malice made this happen, thankfully he conquered this dragon and is using it as flying mount. I can't help but smile seeing these losers seething and him thriving.

[smithbrenda]

So many people need to hear this right now. Praying for our country! ❤
