"You dont excactly exist until have your own words." This hit me.

"Nothing uglier than a stagnant 40 year old infant" ayo im off to the fucking library boys.

How does he articulate his thoughts so clearly. His brain is so well organized.

“You can’t participate in the conversation until you’ve read the book.” Well said.

This man is a definition of University Professor of utmost respect

Top form from Dr Peterson here, it's moments like this he's at his greatest.

Jordan Peterson is right about these books tearing you down. I remember finishing Brave New World and felt very depressed for a couple of days. After that initial feeling I began to appreciate what the book had to say about the future of our society and even where we stand now. I’m glad to have read it and feel a lot more aware and conscious of our world.

Self Education is crucial when you want to build a strong healthy mindset. Love it! 😍

Reading some books from Dr. Peterson's reading list, has brought more light to me as to why he thinks the way he does. It's absolutely enlightening.

You dont have to read the right people. You just have to committe to intellectual honesty, then read everything of interest.

Who else is watching this and feeling pumped?

This man deserves more. keep your chin up Jordan. Thank you for helping make us stronger individuals with cleaner rooms.

“Arguments move the world forward”

I've not seen Pinocchio in years (since my youth) & its been a favorite story that puzzled me during a chaotic childhood. This was quite enlightening. Thank you, Jordan.

So glad I found this video!

At 70 how the heck does a person devastate themselves then rebuild as a better person. Iv'e already read some of those books albeit some years ago but it didn't happen for me, JP is so ahead of the field it's frightening. Having had elocution as a child, reading poetry and learning to speak to an audience I gained some power from it, but this man is at an altogether higher level. The pen indeed is mightier than the sword.

my way of self education is 50% creative ideas from inspirations, 40% of gaining that said inspirations AKA knowledge and also verify the legitimacy of that said creativities based on said knowledge, 10% reflect on self actions especially mistakes based on said knowledge

This man’s mind is brilliant..

exactly what i was searching for.tq

Thank you for the furthered insights.

He's actually explaining why positive self-talk like a mantra you recite everyday is crucial

So happy you're back doc and looking healthy. We all appreciate what you do and by proxy do for us. You're a voice for millions whether you intend to be or not. The funny thing is too, as I would expect you would agree, your just saying obvious things that we should all know but have forgotten in this me me me and the gimme gimme world society has become! But, you have to take care of yourself first. Realizing you had an problem and asking for help is another sign of your humility and character. Things that make so so appealing.

Knowing you are speaking the truth, which integrates you, also it's a harmonizing effect, Listening to others, allows you to integrate more clearly, and learning how to write, a major undertaking, using syntax in your writing exercises, DONE DEAL.

this is deep.. we must go deeper

Well damn, growing up with very independent political ideals I have become very right wing over the last several years, but it feels very conflicting with my natural tendencies. He just made me realize I have been speaking Jordan Peterson words and ideals not my own. I have being following his teachings for self development, but in turn I also have taken his political beliefs which are not my own.

Thanks for the upload! Have a blessed one

Many thanks Sir

You took me back to college English class thabk you for this video

Very well, thanks you Jordan!

- "Being torn down and rebuilt is no joke."

"If you speak the truth, the results are the best that is possible under the consequences" WOW this hit me

God bless you.

Really inspiring video! Lately I've been trying to educate myself property, and this really gave me more reasons to start. Thank you!

I was just thinking about searching up a video like this with jordan (didnt even know if it might exist...) And then 5 min later it popped into my feed... wow

Yes, Jordan going within self is key..powerful. For me, reading Jungs writing many years ago he made me cry. Because his words were transforming. He was a man of great insights but one of higher consciousness. Maybe a mystic? Correct about educating one's self. I have been listening to world teachers daily for 40yrs. Because I didn't like what I saw as a child. Living in a smaller town at 14yrs..I thirst for change. But after many years- realized change starts within you first. When we raise our personal consciousness we can only raise the collective consciousness of our world. Just maybe if we could raise our individual consciousness we could change history. Because peace is a state of being from a raised consciousness. My ancestors were Indigenous they had no books. But had great wealth of knowledge. Their way of life was lived with the interconnection of all life. For me, in my many years of research segregation divided our world through our thoughts and actions. It being war, relationship, race, religion, caste, all division -lacking the interconnection to all of life. If we harm something we harm another and self. Still learning but become humbled by it. Stay blessed 🙌

A very clear theme I see from the authors and books he recommends

Thank you Mr Jordan Peterson. God bless .

Very good!!

“Many idiots have already chosen to go into hiding (some in fridges) and many more could easily follow. We really don’t know what the future holds for us,” he said.

He uses a wider range of words in 2 paragraphs than I use in month

Thankuou

Thank so much for this incredible video! Where can I find the whole thing?

Waaah! Only got a few years left before Im a stagnant 40 year old infant. Just finished Crime and punishment, it was truly a great read. Hopefully I will make it in time...

I love JP and his videos on the bible, is so awe inspiring! Thanks JP xxx

let's see if we follow through with the sound advice

I adore Jordan Peterson's teachings. Powerful!

The Russians are brilliant writers because of Russian winters and vodka.

"Arguments move the world forward"

Amazing

Good content ❤

I am reading Nietzsche at the moment and I have to say it’s tough man, I have constantly the feeling, I am bloody dumb and need to reread, to even get the sentence right ….

I’m currently trying to get through The Gulag Archipelago. It’s tough going but Jordan says it’s essential. It will be the sixth of Jordan’s recommended books I’ve read, after 1984, Animal Farm, Brave New World, The Bible and Crime and Punishment. Crime and Punishment was very interesting, I was thinking about it for weeks after I finished it. I’m dreading Nietzsche though.

I think there is danger in consumption of these type of content, if your belief system is not well develop it might results in the person not knowing there potential in actions but I keeps getting interesting and all you can do is being done and enlightenment is no longer a goal but you're state of being ... This type of education is free wow thank you

I am reading the books about western history written by will durant,,is this a good Idea or should I read the books that Peterson suggest?

Beautiful words, really. I have always appreciated Jordan Peterson's concise gripping of truths. However, I do have one issue, how come he was unable to educate himself with regards to "Plaestine" before he thought that "giving them hell" would be the best and most moral response?

Tolstoy is a legendary writer ... I recommend all of his book especially Anna karnina

More importantly, how do you educate others?

That's strange - why his room is in a mess?

I would also add 10 books every woman should read - A Room of One's Own, Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, The Bell Jar, The Second Sex, The Awakening, The Handmaid's Tale, The Feminine Mystique, Little Women, Bad Feminist, The Color Purple.

Which books would anyone recommend from all of these authors!?

❤

Dostoevsky Tolstoy Solzhenitsyn Orwell Huxley Nietzsche Jung

Mind = blown

At least I recognize every name on that list, even if I haven't read much of them. Read People in Quandaries, Wendell Johnson, 1946. General Semantics.

where do i find the full video?

3:40 authors list

Anybody know where I can find the full video?

Couldn’t find the lists on his website, can someone help?

Does reading Plato's republic or Aristotle help? Or reading the dictionary? What philosophy books I should read?

I’m in spot in life where I want to educate myself but I do not know what about. And I’m 20 now, I don’t have time to just learn random stuff and hope it provides value to me. I need to learn something that I can use to provide for myself. Any advice?

When you use [others words] simply make sure you are aware of what you are saying and upon agreeing with same, for example, Shakespeare, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and so on, even if you don't fully understand what is meant by saying the words, it's a learning curve issue, DONE DEAL.

Why does this resinate with me?

Which books all by eeach author of specific ones

read Nabokov

The Gulag Archipelago put me in a dark place. Man that book is tuff!!

Read All quiet on the western front

What will i gain by reading them?

(yes, two are primarily historians, but, from history comes the shapes of man)

the power of speech an writing only works if people ar willing to listen to you

This reminds me of A.A and N.A Meetings

Logos; the gift of representation and communication. That's cultural gift.

Me sees JP room Me: Say SIKE RIGHT NOW

Okay, PhilosophyInsights... Let’s understand something: Jordan Peterson is speaking.... therefore...... come on... you can do it..... Okay, I’ll GIVE you the answer: It is NEVER TIME FOR AN AD in the middle of his speech.

I never knew pinnochio was so deep lol

Jordan Peterson, I think we should get together for a discussion and I think it should be filmed because It might be pretty damned hilarious.

I wonder what Dr. Peterson would think about Don Quixote and The Trail.

Why because we feel it's good to tell the truth is it good to tell the truth? What is good/evil in this context? Why not feel weak and ashamed?

Can anyone give me their thoughts on reading books from Machiavelli?

It’s one of the best videos

Fellow autodidacts, run from the scam of academe

"How to educate yourself beacuse your family, society, country, and school system has failed you" should be the gd title.

What's the story in the beginning about pleasure island

Can someone tell me where's the full lesson?

What is the truth? How do you know if you're telling the truth? How do we know if our idea is correct or wrong? Where do we get our basis to examine if our idea is correct or wrong? What is the underlying basis for all of these?

Whats a good Jung book to start with?

who should i read first for a good foundation?

It seems more like it's about teaching you debate and history, I was hoping for more. I can't wait to see what his Online University teaches. I hope it's not just humanities

Other people can help you find your own words by acting as positive and negative models.

This is what I think.

He needs to tidy his room
