    "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.

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

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

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

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

    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

    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.
