I hope before I leave this world, I have the chance to look this man in his eyes and shake his hand. Letting him know how much he’s truly helped my train of thought, that truly helped me realize so much about myself.

"They may not be able to express themself very well but they still have something to say". Gut wrenching line

[rossboraan]

Some people would rather be right then happy.

I'm really impressed with the fact that you actually _listened_ to people's criticism about your videos and took active steps to fix it. That's a very honorable and self-sacrificing thing to do.

Great job man. The subtitles and lack of music is perfect. This is the perfect format for Dr Peterson.

Thanks for the great video.

He seems to be genuinely trying to make a difference.

I was just reading one of the oldest writings in the world, the Maxims of Ptahhotep from Egypt c. 2350 BC, which includes various similar bits of advice, e.g. "If he who listens listens fully, then he who listens becomes he who understands"

[steve]

Years ago I gave up trying to win arguments for just trying to be understood. Huge difference.

Made me realize I don't have a relationship with anyone, gotta work on that

[PhilJonesIII]

Funny, I've had to do exactly that. I had to make multiple court appearances over several years trying to get custody of my sons. The downside being that the proceedings were in French and my spoken French was not good.


I adopted a technique of saying (in French) "If I understand correctly, you are and then rephrase the things I had heard.


There was a risk of slowing everything down and even alienating all the wrong people. In fact, it worked very well. They all knew I had been listening hard and more people turned toward me when it was their time to speak.



I did get custody of my sons and improved my French significantly. (I can't say it's the best environment to learn a foreign language.)

The 466 who disliked this video weren't really listening.

You must understand this, my dear brothers. Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. James 1:19 interesting! 🤔

I'm hearing impaired, so I have to give people my full attention when they're speaking to me in order to make sense of the sound stream. I'm often amazed at how much people want to talk with me. Now it makes sense. In a world of all-too-often distracted listening, I'm probably rather rare. Unfortunately, this is also quite draining for me. It takes a lot of work to really listen to people!

"The place we end up is better than the place we left". I like that very much.

When a person tells me something, important to them, I usually say ' tell me more".

Jordan Peterson's talks are thought-provoking

I tried this technique of "mirroring" with my wife today, and I did as JP says, I tried to make her arguments and reasons stronger by repeating and restating what she had said. We're pretty close to divorce, and I have been too defensive about my words and actions.
Later on, we were talking to our therapist, and my wife told me she finally knew I was listening to her, and that I FINALLY heard her and her pain.
It works.
It may have saved our marriage!
Try it.

My entire life, I have never looked up to a single human being. I've never been one to idolize other people, and I've never had a "hero". I started listening to Jordan Peterson speak, and I am fascinated and awed beyond words! He is a great example of why _everyone_ can benefit from therapy.

[christianimrie]

“I’m on the side of the part of the person, that wants things to be better”
I think thats a great way of letting a person know that you want to help them, but your not going to feed their ego. He has a way of speaking that takes something hard to hear and makes it palatable.

[TamiShey]

This was hard for me to understand English is my 4th language and after listening to this 5times it changed me because we do argue a lot with my husband he always tells me to listen so now next time I can use this thank you 🙏

[alexterrel]

Big facts. The last statement is so true. God damn my ego gets in the way so bad

[paulb]

When you actually listen to a person and respond with questions from what they actually say, well they will tell you all sorts of things that normally wouldn't be said. Its stuff they gladly let out and feel happier for it. And Jordan is right it sometimes is really weird. But, sometimes its really personal to them. True listening is rare in conversations today.

[evangeliakaratza-styliara]

What I think is happening with Jordan Peterson is that he says things just as they are. He doesn't put a "net"-pink cloud around anything. And he gives actually easy (....) solutions. We need to get trained for that. But I SO MUCH LIKE THE PRESENTATION OF THE FACT THAT LIFE IS DIFFICULT AND FULL OF MALEVOLENCE...And that WE CAN ACTUALLY CHOOSE TO SPEND IT WELL...
I like so much the fact that he actually talks to me, to anyone who's listening...and also that he uses such beautiful language.
I thank you Jordan Peterson, you make a difference....
