    you have inspired me to start learning in a new way. i never attended college just trade school and finished 2 aprentiships , but im hooked on your lectures. i may be behind in pysch 101 but i can follow without confusion. THANK YOU and keep it up
  • @davidfarrall
    Maps of Meaning is a great work, well worth the struggle over 15 years. I hope to learn more about it from you and put some of it into practice in my life activities and interests. I think Dr Peterson will be thought of as the Freud/Jung/et al of modern times.
  • @bibi3297
    These lectures are an inexhaustible source of wisdom and practicality. This is priceless. We can't thank you enough for sharing your well-earned treasure of education with us all. ❤
  • I sure wish that all psychologists were a brilliant as Jordan Peterson. Really learning a long in the Maps of Meaning. We'd probably have very mentally healthy people in our nation if others even touched a bit of his skills.

    Self is who you are, ego is who you think you are.
  • @amanjha3020
    my god, Thank you so much, my life would have been destroyed if not for Dr, Jordan peterson. I thank your from the core of my heart.
  • I just realized his whole explanation of reality is a breakdown of the exchange in dialogue, "what do I do? Watch out for the snakes."
  • On his nephews story. Clash of the titans. Perseus's shield was used as a mirror to "see" medusa. Who is the archetype of a beautiful women. Meaning mentally reflect back the stare that attractive women give like a shield of protection "neg". To turn her to stone instead of her turning you into stone. Mythology and theology give you all the tools you need to move through life without fear. If you look deeper into the stories instead of the surface level.

    1:24:00 I think this is where stoicism plays its part by abandoning your day map and just focusing on whatever happens you will just remain calm and composed.
  • “You get the chance briefly to see what that person could be like if you interacted with them the most perfect way you could. It’s like a glimpse into a potential extraordinary positive future. So the vision emerges and it shuts. And it is up to you to build it, to make it happen to take what you see and transform into reality.” Well articulated insight about love. Instead of thinking of it like “yeah it is all delusion” blabla, here is a constructive, at least a practicable plan. Thank you Mr. Peterson.

    Weekly feedback is my big practicing reason to be a Christian. Every Sunday I pray on the hardest stuff this week at church.
  • @durrysdingdong
    I read The Archetypes and the Collective Unconcious back in the early 90s. The Fischer King with Robin Williams was partt of this, the hero's journey. Archetypal exploration helped shape my understandings of my world when (and aftter) searching meaning in all types of religions couldn't. Mythology, or even the myths of man collectively are what help me understand myself in the world. At different times and needs in my world, this is the faith/s that temper me.
  • @JamesVestal-dz5qm
    I encourage others whether Christian or not to pray for their highest ideals even if they're afraid. This will teach other people to support you in your goals.
  • Two cans of soda, Dr. Peterson? Health hazard. I think the two cans of soda represent order and chaos (or Yin and Yang); Dr. Peterson is the hero, and the laptop is the unknown.
  • @GrubKiller436
    Damn. I think this is'll be one of my favorite ones.
