Jordan Peterson - Successful Men Are Insane And Work All The Time

Jordan Peterson is a Canadian clinical psychologist and a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto. His main areas of study are in abnormal, social, and personality psychology, with a particular interest in the psychology of religious and ideological belief and the assessment and improvement of personality and performance.

Peterson has bachelor's degrees in political science and psychology from the University of Alberta and a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from McGill University.

He was a post-doctoral fellow at McGill from 1991 to 1993 before moving to Harvard University, where he was an assistant and then an associate professor in the psychology department.

In 1998, he moved back to Canada as a faculty member in the psychology department at the University of Toronto, where, as of 2019, he is a full professor.

Peterson's first book, Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief (1999), examined several academic fields to describe the structure of systems of beliefs and myths, their role in the regulation of emotion, creation of meaning, and several other topics such as motivation for genocide. His second book, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos, was released in January 2018.

In 2016 Peterson released a series of YouTube videos criticizing political correctness and the Canadian government's Bill C-16, "An Act to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code".

The Act added "gender identity and expression" as a prohibited ground of discrimination, which Peterson characterised as an introduction of compelled speech into law, although legal experts have disagreed.

He subsequently received significant media coverage, attracting both support and criticism. Peterson is associated with the "Intellectual Dark Web".

100% agree. Life is about choices and some people simply chose to work hard because thats where they find meaning

I built a business for the last 12 years, and all I do is work, or think about work and how to fix or grow my business. It is so freaking irritating when people that don’t own a business and don’t know what it is like say to me, “oh, must be nice to just be able to do what you want and rake in money”, they just don’t know what it is like.

I'm somewhat of a workaholic and I'm motivated by, of all things, guilt. Feeling bad about wasting a lot time doing nothing when I was younger ( like watching too much tv ). So I work to try to make up for that time that I wasted. That's my motivation.

You know what is better than just work? Working in something you are passionate about. Jeez. That shit is unbuyable

[lLl-flrv]

Work hard in something you LOVE. That’s the most wonderful thing you’ll be ever doing.

One of very very few men who can break down complex ideology and explain in simple terms.

Hardworking people always wish our days were longer and not capped at 24 hours. Even when we’ve worked 14 hours or 80+ hours a week. We still feel like we have not done enough. Many times after an exhausting month I ask myself if I’m lazy. It’s just fascinating to think about.

People think of having more money giving you freedom but once you get to a certain level it’s actually less because of the insane amount of responsibility you have to take on the get there.

Dr. Peterson is the Jordan of psychology and public speaking 🏀🏀🏀

Man I wish I had a professor like Jordan in my college

[Tinandel]

If there’s one thing I’ve learned at my job once I got more focused, it’s that there’s no shortage of people who will line up to pay you extremely well. They just demand an awful, awful lot in exchange, and it may be more than you are willing to give…

I did this, worked a 9-6 job then worked on my own business from 7pm-1am. Almost every night for about 2 years.
Then my business got investment and allowed me to leave my 9-6 job. The job I was doing was also a fully-fledged career but I couldn't stand it any longer (simulations).
I've been running my business for about 6 years, had some really tough things happen recently and now I'm totally burned out. I struggled to get 4 hours done without feeling completely demotivated and tired. I'm a shell of what I used to be and working to get it back.
Working at a company where you're just doing tasks and completing things is so much easier. It's a fragment compared to running your own business.
Hopefully, I get back to normal.

The 1920's millionaire on the cover of the Monolopoly Game! I'm gonna use that one. .

[KNakanishi]

Absolutely agree. I'm glad I worked this hard for a year, because it has really helped me to realize what I actually want out of life and need from a significant other.

[vcab]

We get ONE LIFE. Some folks figure it out too late.

I'm assuming that you can't appreciate the extent of their work until you see things from their perspective; it could also be an addiction of sorts to power

[patmclaughlin]

I worked in steel mills in ohio years ago now i run multiple businesses. The mills were obviously more strenuous work, but i can honestly say owning businesses takes alot more to do. Im constantly working and solving problums. I feel blessed to have them and work 16 hour days doing what i love. It was alot of strenuous work to be in the situation on constantly thinking about how to work smarter everyday and exponentially grow a company. Wouldnt change it for the world but its not for everyone

The men that occupy those insane positions usually built those positions themselves by eliminating any competing competition around them and then being John on the spot and consolidating the responsibilities of that position with theirs. I know first hand! You Nailed it Jordan!

I've watched tons of this guys videos. This is probably my favourite one.

There's this guy I met who did IT work for a financial transaction company, including stock market transactions. They would call him up in the middle of the night, to fix an urgent problem, every minute that passed meant multiple millions of losses on the market that had to be accounted for to the shareholders; just imagine the stress. They pay was according, but still.
