Dr Jordan Peterson brought to tears in latest Piers Morgan interview

Watch the moment clinical psychologist and public intellectual Dr Jordan Peterson breaks down in tears from a line of questioning by Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan.

In the wide-ranging interview, Dr Peterson discusses life, God, heaven and hell but it was one particular moment he couldn’t contain his emotions when delivering his answer.

Mr Morgan questioned the famous clinical psychologist about what is the “best and worst thing about being Jordan Peterson?”

Dr Peterson replied by saying the worst thing is that he is “a bit much” and “running in all directions” which can be hard on people around him.

“I’m a bit much, man,” he said.

“The best thing about being me – it’s overwhelming really – the deep appreciation that people have for what I’ve been doing.

“It’s stunning, it’s soul destroying but it’s amazing.”

Dr Peterson continued to state, “it’s a strange thing to have far more than you could ever imagine … that’s my life, I have far more than I could ever imagine – I didn’t think it was possible.”

I cried with him. He kept saying it's a strange thing because he's so humble and grateful. God bless him!

This man has saved my life. I read both his books at my worst times in undergrad. I thank him for everything and I tell him to everyone who needs help

[VictoriaPfeifer]

He’s so full of wisdom! Glad he shares it with us

[millermanhal]

Authentic compassion. This is why he resonates. He still holds to his truth and suffers for his convictions to save us from ourselves. True masculine, strong, loving man. I aspire to be so brave as him. Lets pray he doesnt get silenced or worste.

Jordan Peterson - you are not too much. Thank you for being you. Inspirational

[rickguerrero]

I think Dr. Peterson is moved by the amount of pain he sees in everyday people. He wishes to help them with simple advice. And as he said, he never imagined he could have so much in his life. Bravo.

[NickSievers]

I am so hit by this. Tears of gratitude... What a rare thing and a rare person to have that kind of humility. That's quite a thing to think about.

"Is marriage good for you?" Marriage to a good person is good for you. Marriage to a controlling, manipulative individual is much, much worse than not being married.

[rhondarowe]

To be such an intelligent and influential man, Mr. Peterson’s gratitude and humility is extremely admirable. Godspeed.

[someoneelse.]

Can't help but like this man. Appreciated Morgan asking good questions and allowing Peterson to reply.

Love Jordan Peterson, history will look back on this man as a hero of our time.

[aprilholton]

It's a shame more people aren't like Mr. Peterson, grateful!! Gratitude does so much for the human experience.
God bless this man

[justinfuzzyhat]

He's a positive father figure for millions of people he's never met. I'm sure it's overwhelming. I'm not even religious but God bless him

[Smackemback]

His appreciation for the things he has in life is possibly the biggest reason that he is able to offer so much to the people who listen to & converse with him. His humility is what makes him so human & so unlike many of the people out their that profess to being so called influencers & advisors. Possibly one of the greatest minds of the 21st century so far.

We have so respect for you DR. You deserve our support & respect 🇺🇸✌️

[fromunderthekilt]

I’m a grown man and I’m not afraid nor ashamed to say that I adore this man. Probably the only person in the public eye that I have any respect for.

[KDT]

I sincerely appreciate Prof. Peterson. So honest and authentic .

[julieannhawley]

Such a lovely man. Jordan Peterson carries the weight of the world on his shoulders - and as this interview shows, it all gets a bit much. But if he stepped aside… what would we do without him?!?! He’s making such a big difference - bringing clear perspective perspective into this crazy world.

Dr. Peterson really changed my life, I was a total wreck, irresponsible, and totally blind not knowing how to fix my life. I didn't know whereto start, how to begin with. But now I'm a more responsible person, and like he said and advised; I began by making bed and cleaning my room which overtime helped me to study and later I became confident enough to choose a goal I once really wanted to reach (7 years back). I have not reached yet, it's been a year and a half but I'm definitely half way there. I listen to your message a lot and it's making me a better person. How I wish I can thank you in person. I'm truly thankful to God for your life. God bless you Dr. Peterson.
