If someone notices this, I’m still alive and fighting depression thanks to this video

My son age 23 took his life 2 weeks ago. Strangely I'd felt compelled to watch this video over and over in the weeks leading up to it. I appreciate this perspective so much, it has really helped me carry this cross and not be crushed under its weight.

The audience is laughing, but Jordan is being as real as possible. You can hear the tearful heartful plea in his voice that let's you know that what he's saying is coming from the heart, and he's just hoping that someone, anyone, hears him.
God bless you Dr. Peterson!

I was only 18 when my dad died in 1985. I was actively doing all I could to be a part of his funeral preparation and funeral. For the next 2 years my mom was just in such deep depression that I was taking care of her and my sister who was only 8. When other guys where doing teenager stuff, I was making sure she ate right, helping her with homework, getting her clothes ready, going to see a doctor when necessary and going on parent-teachers meetings... I couldn't even imagine any other way. I was always hoping that if my dad could see me he would be happy and proud of me. As he was my true hero which I miss all my life.

Sitting around feeling sorry for yourself gets you nowhere, be strong.

I always thought the words “he saved my life” to be cliche, cult-like, and pathetic, but with Jordan Peterson i can truly say he changed my life. I was lazy, irresponsible, a victim, always blaming others for my problems, did drugs to escape reality and avoid responsibility until just a few months ago I found out who Jordan B Peterson was. Since then my life turned around for the better. He changed my life for the better, helped me face reality, helped me accept responsibility, helped me find meaning, and overall, accept that life is suffering. Not everything in life is perfect and balanced like we always hope. Chaos, tragedy, and catastrophe is right around the corner, so instead of bracing for a catastrophe we need to embrace it as a time for self-growth. I turned my chaos into order, reduced suffering, and got my life together. Thank you for everything Jordan Peterson.

If you can die with the feeling that you endured and didn’t give up on this unfair life, then you are a success my friend. Be proud.

This was the clip that made me realize I had to change things.

I watch this at least once a day. Dr. Jordan B. Peterson is a hero of mine.

My mom passed away yesterday. I was watching these videos weeks ago preparing myself for such hardship. I hope im doing good in face of this horrible horrible nightmare.

This video is probably gonna produce some pretty decent examples of people

Obviously no one wants to admit life is suffering because they have 0 to gain from it, but much more to gain from saying how easy and insanely good their life is on social media

This guy is truly one of the most powerful speakers i've ever heard, amazing man

3 years ago* “i’m stunned when I go outside and it isn’t a riot”

[martinmcneil]

“Everything you do matters” what an important powerful phrase this is- as a youngster due to different experiences & trauma I developed an instinct to pay attention to what was going on around me at all times, as things weren’t quite as they seemed & confusing to understand in my younger years. sadly when I grew up and fell into certain traps these podcasts & divine words of advice literally saved my life- thank you Dr Peterson you will never know how much these words left an imprint on my soul whilst I was going through all kinds of challenges “everything you do matters” 👏💯🙏⭐️ 🇨🇦

The most intelligent men in the world were unappreciated in their time. As a controversial figure right now, Peterson will be remembered by history as an absolutely legendary figure in the saving of western culture

"I'm stunned every day when I go outside and it isn't a riot with everything burning."

[gonzalohuelmo]

as a 18 year old this is a very good advice

[dariusasghari]

I'm so weak, and radically insufficient in many ways. And I know exactly what I need to do.
