If you like Jordan Peterson's material you might be interested to know that both his audiobooks, “12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos” and “Maps of Meaning: An Architecture of Belief”, are currently available FOR FREE via the Amazon Audible Trial program ( amzn.to/2D9maL2 ). They are even narrated by the man himself. Enjoy :) The above is an official Amazon affiliate link.

On KZfaq I often see the sorts of comments like " this video needs more views" " what an underrated channel" " only # of likes?" I've never made such a comment until now. This is that video.

He is a great motivational speaker. I have found myself wearing out at 50 years old and having to deal with a lot of overwhelming problems had left me feeling defeated. I was dying inside and barely functional but this little 15 minute speech is so encouraging. It reminds me that life still matters.

Jordan Peterson changed my life.

Terrifying and True. I'll do it tomorrow.

I had a professor of Sociology that was very much like Peterson in his instruction in undergrade. That was one of the best classes that I've ever taken.

Inspiring, enlightening and reality-confronting lecture, thank you

As this is very relevant to the video (well, at least if you happen to not chose the Nihilism route), I would like to let everyone know that Dr. Peterson also developed the online program “Self Authoring” bit.ly/SelfAuthoring that basically helps you to get your act together by analyzing your past and finding a more rewarding path for the future. It’s not free, but it has been proven to work in studies performed with university students. (Sorry, I make this sound like some toothpaste ad). Jordan Peterson Fan Channel is an official affiliate of the program, so if you follow the link through, you will not only support Jordan Peterson and his endeavors but also this channel in a small way - and most importantly yourself. Thank you and all the best!

'refuse to participate deception. orient you speech as much as you can towards truth. take self responsible.' This is what I am doing in personal life. Thanks. This speech make so much sense to me. I do feel noble and self respect. at the same time I try to be kind/friendly as much as I can and not judge people.

Thanks for sharing this amazing lecture ❤I wish KZfaq should recommend this video to more people

Too much truth for one mic to handle.

Thank you Psyche Matters! Keep these nuggets coming

That was a powerful lecture 😮

Great edit with a correct title ( sadly unusual with JP). Great job.

so good and so intence that will be better if I can listen in more detail.

How can i hear this and and have a conversation in person im impressed and want to listen and learn. Making the world a better place a few words at a time. Wow

I love this man. Thanks

If you turn the camera around you'd see a room full of raised hands being supported by the other arm with the head laying upon the desk...

I think this is my favourite video on the entire internet.

He speaks my soul in this. I know I could be so much more and I am just too lazy and wasting time. I try at least once a year to change it and I can for a month, maybee 3-4 but then I fall back into my old self.

Suffering is built in - existentialism If your alive you will suffer , that’s life

Speak your being forward...

Just after 11:30, that sounds much alike Kraya in how she conveys to you the effect of your actions upon others, no matter the magnitude. That it all matters and can even determine the fate of others.

What puzzles me is how we can have such brilliant people like JP. in this World and we have 2 people running for president to run this great country who are not as smart as Jordans shadow

Life is very fragile . . & its also tough , a hard thing to see

A brilliant man

Better to avoid sin or activities related to. So right to correct yourself, but sometimes you have to correct yourself by avoiding. Why do we have to be strong? Does that makes us more happy? Also you can avoid the bad by doing good. That is what is valuable.

JP is the scheeeeaat!

I had a more simplyfied idea of that to push me when i'm stucked doing nothing with my life. " WHEN YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO THINK OF THE THINGS YOU SHOULD NOT DO"

Wow. This was great. Subscribed. Check out the upcoming TV series, Counterpart. It ties right into the point of this talk.

J b Peterson articulates thoughts that I want to fathom

There's so much in these not even 15 minutes that I really don't know how any of his students are supposed to grasp and process a whole lecture without forgetting and/or confusing half of the contents before it's over...

I fully understand when he talks about making yourself more efficient. I’ve often thought about how much I could improve my circumstances, how high my career path could be, how richer I could be, fitter, more motivated in life. But then I think “ Nah! I can’t be arsed! I’d rather watch telly/ go out/ have a nap.” It’s called being Human!

Which book is he talking about at 13:33 ?

You can lay suffering at a social structure that believes it is simply a temporary physical body.

Pareto_"tolerate yourself, maybe even respect yourself a little." He loves teaching.

It's hard

Recently found out about this guy helping me not be a piece of shit when nothing else has slowly but surely crawling out of a hole I dug for myself

5;00

A LOT of the time, I honestly fail to understand what he's saying. This is one rare occasion where I feel as though I understood what he said prominently.

Imagine walking into a university lecture and Jordan Peterson is stood waiting at the front

😳

so sad how many little views this has

"If enough people pathologize their lives, it's hell on society." I think that's where we are today, at least in the West. We've become more childish as individuals, and our society is more childish as a result.

I discovered Jordan Peterson precisely right after I threw away my potential.

This is water-Wallace

I feel like Adam just after eating the forbidden fruit after this video 🥵

JP often cites or mentions Gulag Archipelagos, but it's not a historically accurate book, not even close. It's a fiction that was spread as historical in the west during the Cold War.

Peaked at 9billion and declining rapidly

well, better get my act together then...

Me knowing 1,000 people doesn't put me 2 nodes away from a million since most of the 1,000 people I'd know would also know some of the people I know.

Wait did he predict the rapid declination of earths population due to Covid 19 by saying that by the time we hit 9B population we would start to decline?

Why does he say after 9 billion people the numbers will decline.

I feel like I'm in a paradox. The guy is saying that people waste time watching things on KZfaq that make them feel horrible. I'm wasting time watching him saying that I waste time watching him...

Not much of you but a lot of everything else. LOL Genius

The Ritalin and All beef lifestyle

Can I just say this. When I play World of Warcraft, I feel that I am doing something important. When I started trying to study again I feel like I am wasting my life. I feel like I have all my essential things and raising my status is to proclaim trivial luxury items, has never seem to make me happy. Now my wife thinks we are poor (I don't feel poor) and that pressure is the one good reason I attempt to change at all. I feel rich and secure but I guess I don't make that much? I play games to expose people's limited thinking. I could talk about philosophical ideas, or collect expensive things, but feel the most satisfied when my ideas prevail over another in a strategy game. Also, taking on responsibilities to help people not in my immediate family actually feels wicked. When I first got married I was handing out a lot of money to beggars but ran into money problems later and felt like I had "sinned". Helping people I share little in common with feels like I'm betraying the few people I actually care about. All of this to say. What does it mean to be productive? Cure aids when no one I love has aids. Feed low IQ people who would kill me if I tried to be honest with them? Improve technology so dishonest manipulators could censor me more while simultaneously pretending to be noble? I will just pretend to be depressed and keep my secrets and tell the world to go fuck itself. I guess the one thing that drives me is the desire to protect my small inner circle but I fear I will end up actually hindering their own personal growth, so I should limit this too. How many six figure parents fail at disciplining their kids, they justify greed by proclaiming it is for their loved ones but don't actually spend any time with them. I feel that many people who spend 5 hours a day doing stupid things are in way being more productive than people who are working to support some other person's bad habits. Some people are trying to feed their family and pay medical bills. Honestly, a lot of greed is so some rich dick weed can buy prostitutes on over seas trips or keep their cocaine addiction. Don't kill yourself making other people rich unless you have a reason to love them. Go ahead and waste 6 hours a day expanding your horizons in a comfortable way and don't hate yourself for it.

every time I see this kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j9OVgrl0q9a-l2g.html reasoning I ask myself: maybe the problem with this reasoning is the fact that we talk only about one side and this logic is defeatable by default. IT will be great if you said that " these are the people that did the things they are afraid of and succeeded and look .. the is a smaller percent of people that did the things they are afraid and failed miserably. If that was true Everyone will do this and things would be great. But I think that is not true and because of that we are still trying to sell this like the lottery ( because for the group/society it is beneficial make people try and do more .. of-course 90% will fail but if 10% succeed, we as a group evolve. I know it is not a positive perspective, but I did not manage to go over this logically.

Everday I tell the people thatI work with, that consumerism has replaced citizenship, that people have become dollar signs when looked at by the jail/prison/law enforcment, pharmacutical anti coping skills view. Moo, Moo, moo

There’s the people that waste 4 hours watching dumb videos on KZfaq, and then there are the galaxy brains that spend 4 hours watching Jordan Peterson lectures

FYI: Jordan would have us "make our bed". The very title of this video is the exact thing he denounces.

Please define "wasting time" and define "time not wasted". Until then this is just superficial postering.

9 billion people and then decline rapidly? That f up my retirement age plans. 😁😂

I hate how he’s done the math around all wrong.

WoW I wish I could unhear that , this is gonna be a tough change . Come here for some political advice and you give me the red pill and pop me out of the matrix and everything is tasteless . the world no longer seems the same .

Deceit is a disease. Face your fears and grow stronger. "... in order to meet their goals, their self defined goals..." Greta Thunberg is a great example of what JGP is speaking about. Admit that, and you've learned a lot.
