Uncle Jordan always makes me feel good about life. I love this man.
Did he diddle in the closet during Thanksgiving
Yeah. His speeches and monologues - whatever subject he chooses to talk about - are, shall we say... Therapeutic. 🙂
Yeah, same 😭
same
Really? You feel good when the maxim he points out is that life is suffering?
6:06 You need a goal, but we don't want to let your distance from the goal crush you.
6:15 Break the goal down into parts, so that you can move towards it and you have a fairly high probability of success.
Thanks
Thank you
The rest is simply all over the place 🤪
Thanks
Gracias
1. Set the ideal aim.
2. Break it to simpler goals you can do right now to get you moving towards it.
3. Struggles are unique. Every people in their life has different set of struggles, which may affect their life path.
4. Who can you compare yourself the best? Yourself. Do it.
5. Incremental improvement helps to make it continuous.
Thank you so much for summarizing this so that I could screenshot it.
No.4?
Great notes 😂
"Incremental improvement is unstoppable." Beautifully true.
Somebody hey
Summary:
incremental improvement is unstoppable. Pareto distribution and the power of compound interest is amazing. Start small and shitty then build up. Those who have more get more, those who have nothing everything will be taken.
You need a goal but do not let the distance from the goal crush you. So you need to differentiate it down and make the steps difficult enough to push you beyond where you are but also where you can do it. Break into smaller steps difficult but proximal.
Aim high but compare yourself with yourself yesterday just try and make yourself a little bit better. Gets the ball rolling you get momentum and starts to compound. You’ll progress pretty rapidly. JBP sees this in people’s lives all the time.
Thank you 😊 very much!!
Really great summary man thanks for sharing.
THANK YOU!
for 1: taking the work to make Peterson's wisdom more accessible in the form of these shorter clips (to thousands of people) and
2: for always quoting the full video, so we can dive deeper in his lessons.
WE APPRECIATE YOU!
Use you as a control... Have daily incremental changes... Be a little bit better than you were yesterday... Well put
Absolutely man.
I kid you not, the "be a tiny bit better than yourself yesterday" thing I was just telling myself that the other day, and now just hearing it again here is like .. wow, amazing
it means you're on the right path, when seemingly unrelated things all start telling you the same thing, atleast I often see it that way.
evariation we kinda already know ourselves and what we need to do. In my case I know I tell myself things in my head constantly, the question is when I’ll follow them and apply it.
Beats the alternative;)
"He who has a why can bear almost any how"
It's not just goals, it is strategy. As I told my own subscribers this week. I have known people who fail at everything they attempt. Repeatedly begin start ups that go under. Pursue visions that never materialize. Many times this isn't because the person is a loser--they just have bad strategy. They leap off the cliff with self belief, having no idea if there is water below or if they will land face first into the jagged rocks. They just think things will work out. Careful planning far in advance is the key. Where is the location of your business going to be? How many competitors are there? Is your degree marketable? Is it only marketable in the city and you want to live in a small town? People who don't think about these things are the ones who will continually think the universe is against them as they fail over and over. As the saying goes: the war is won before the battle even begins. Hope this helps someone out there--Charles.
“All we have to do is be better than ourselves, yesterday”. Beautiful.
When this guy speaks gold comes out of his mouth
Ghazwan X when this guy speaks, gold goes into his bank account.... But he deserves it for all the hope and help he gives to all of us. 😉
Jody Mac Donough lmao tru tho
He’s a truth teller for sure.
It’s been 4 years .. how successful are you now? Did you stick to you goals?
His ability to maintain and articulate factual truth is a beautiful appreciated gift....thank you Dr P.
It’s been 4 years .. how successful are you now? Did you stick to you goals?
I really took away how when you're setting a goal - you make your next step attainable - but you also have to make the next step challenging enough to where you have to push yourself. Good stuff!
It’s been 4 years .. how successful are you now? Did you stick to you goals?
This man never ceases to inspire me. A good soul
If the true inequality is not of diversity, but of competence, then the solution is to distibute the means of compentence, which is self-knowledge.
That is perfectly congruent with Dr Peterson's public speaking in general, his Future Authoring Program more specifically, as well as my own project to democratize competence through coaching. Massive kudos!
If everyone is competent, nobody is. And not everyone is capable of competence even if they have the resources.
Clearly one of the best advices for goal setting. For anyone who wants to set goals, use his method and add just one thing. Try to set the goals specific, measurable, acchievable, reasonable and timebounded (SMART).
this video was very useful and of course when you have such a figure like this man, you are motivated to get started right away. (Most people that clickes this video is because they want to improve their life). This doesn’t mean you will achieve your goal or that you will not find difficulties, YOU WILL. I’m very young and what I’ve found that has been working for me is that, after I already set my high goal, I would not focus on that as i’m working my way up, I would be present day by day, making slight adjustments to the things I was doing wrong yesterday.
Example: reading a long 1200 page book. Is true that it can be painful to just think of finishing the book and even gettingstarted, but I trick my mind to actually get started by focusing on reading one page at least, maybe even one paragraph, this automatically cuts the long-time that you think in your head is ggoing to take to finish it, I enjoy it. This is what Jordan Peterson means. The other thing is once you achieved your goal… what did it teach you? Are you better person? How are you going to help others? We really have to appreciate those that are there along the way and that facilitate your opportunity to even have access to that book or whatever is that you are after.
If your goal is to travel to china, make sure to be grateful for the pilot, the airplane company, and other members that helped you get to your destination.
This was longer than expected but I’m really happy we have UA-cam for free to watch and learn from wise people like this man!!
Wow! This video is like a treasure chest! Once you find it, understand it, apply it, it will truly make your life better!
I will start to apply this very important learning, Mr. Jordan. Amazing! 👍👍👍
Wow. I've never heard the concept of goal-setting explained this way. Usually it's always about schedules and S.M.A.R.T. goals, which are great advice. But the words Peterson uses just somehow _inserts_ directly the knowledge needed to progress.
It’s been 4 years .. how successful are you now? Did you stick to you goals?
Real practical advice based on fact. Thank you so much.
incredibly intelligent person……Jordan Peterson is amazingly smart, i hope he keeps these youtube videos coming and sharing his knowledge with us. It’s great being a recipient on the other side of this, thank you so much.
*Burrito distribution*
Good one...jajjajaj
😂😂🤣
Most human characteristics are equally distributed, BUT THIS IS NOT HUMAN!!!!
🌯
I do love that distribution brother hahaha
Great 👍Would happily watch the whole lecture
M M: PI always links it in the description
Ive prayed for something to happen thatd help me out with my problems years ago and we were all given Dr Peterson
Thank you for sharing this snippet.
Whenever I listen to a Peterson video, I just start cleaning my room without consciously thinking about it. Such an incredible influence.
Dr JD is a gift to humanity
You really are one of the most well read orators and motivators for 10000s of people WHO REALLY WANT A GOOD LIFE. not the ones who think life is about constant pleasure
It's refreshing to hear thought on issues that can't be boiled down to "X is bad, so what we need to do is Y and that will end X. or just think about stopping X because it's so very serious and urgent."
Every human being needs to know this truth!
Wonderful, useful insight.
Matthew McConnaughey's Academy award speech stolen from right there!
"You see, every day, and every week, and every month, and every year of my life, my hero is always ten years away. I'm never going to be my hero. I'm not going to obtain that and that's fine with me because it keeps me with somebody to keep on chasing."
Peterson... You are a hero!
"...otherwise you'd droop around like a number ten lobster, you know, that's just not good..."

LIVIN’ LIKE LARRY
Its all in your mind- Set your goals close enough so you can see your own progress- Be you!! Only you know!! You can only use your mind to set your goals- Someone can't give you your own thoughts, dreams or in this case your goals!! Do the best you can do with only what you got and not what you haven't got- I believe in those people who did not make their goals- Get up and start again.
It’s actually a distributional law.
Called, pareto’s law,
And it fits to any kind of supply and demand distributions far outside economics.
Gets super interesting when you look at how it applies on social scales between men and women etc
I love how he always gives credit to the people he’s learned from
I'm glad I watched this. Been in a serious rut for two weeks, I have goals but it looks like absolute torture to achieve and I always seem to return to square 1. I'll give this a try, I have done amazing stuff in my life but myself yesterday is a lot more relatable than myself years ago when I was a lot more hard working
Im in the same boat brother. Just gotta do things incrementally and stay focused
So how is it going?
Jesus this is such spot on wisdom.
Thank you for sharing
Important sharing! Amazing experimentalist science-based argumentation
Thx Dr. Peterson. I really needed that speech.
Damn, that really put my brain in a good place!
Like it best when JBP discusses his experience working in his clinical practice with women.
Jordan Peterson is incredible
THANK YOU
Good one.
Bravo!
Great video
Excellent
Thanks
Jordan Peterson for President!! 👏🏽
You mean Prime Minister? He is Canadian.
Absolutely true!!! Lovely as well! :-)
I often forget to compare myself to my past self. This leads to disorienting myself from my goals, and I am a worse person in every metric when I forget to do so.
This video is exceptional advice. I will follow it daily.
Thank you
5:05 “i’m gonna make a real lateral move here.” ive never heard him say that or anything like that it was funny. i’m going to start saying it lmao
The add for this video was so no expected!
Anyways...
Go JBP
So, you're saying I'm a lobster?
Tom Forsythe so, you’re saying that he is calling the human race lobsters?
So you're saying life is an ocean?
Wtf
@@imjustczarina So you're saying there are other fish in the sea?
@@danielcalma2138 so you're saying that women belongs to the kitchen because they like seafoods? How dare you imply such a thing!
Pareto distribution in action: 1500 Likes vs. 33 Dislikes
Now look at it
And look at it now😄
Workers vs 33 not wanting to work
And those 33 leave 80% of all the dislikes on UA-cam
@@serolog2 probably!
Intersesting how Peterson considers the "Pareto" principle as a natural law!
There will always be someone out there who is better at it then you are what you choose to do with it is up to you. :)
yeah that was great
6:27 - how to achieve a goal
Every one needs to be educated like sir Peterson if we want to get rid of a bit ridiculousness in society.
This is the exact comparison I made with myself (with Elon Musk). So, this is super relevant to me.
💙💙💙💙 thank u
I wouldn't say that he found a satisfying solution to the problem of keeping the benefit of a high ideal without the soul-crushing judgment from it.
Aik: Sounds like you need to work on your perfectionism.
Ann, Could you elaborate?
Aik
Some amout of soul-crushing may even be necessary, I guess. Especially if one is to aim for truth and honesty.
Ouch!
thanks，
Lastly, your reaction to difficulties determines your succes and your character. Today I was punched in the face really hard from behind playing soccer, a normal reaction would be to punch the guy back and get revenge, but instead, I managed to keep calm, stay in the floor while I let my mind cool off a little bit. Let life ‘punish or pay’ for his wrong act. You are not a coward by not punching him back, you are smarter and know which battles are worth your time. (Obviously there are limits to everything). The point is, if a coworker insults you or throws you an indirect intentional comment, instead of losing your patience, go to the bathroom and think twice. Life is hard enough already, you don’t need extra problems
10 mins video summary is present in the comments. Which hardly takes 2 min. Still I'll watch the video 🤝
7:58 So who should compare yourself to? (Points to someone in audience) You! (who did he point at and how can we compare ourselves to them???)
4:02-4:10 OMG Jordan Peterson is Alan Watts REINCARNATED.
I love it when he tells us about the lobster :3
What Peterson is referring to with square root doing half is not the Pareto distribution, it’s prices law
Wow
What book is this talk from? He mentions "Chapter 4"...
In the end he said "This is chapter 4". From which book is he talking about - anyone knows?
Physicis call it the "power law". th size of stars and Income distribution in the US both follow the power law.
The perato distribution also apply to the number of people listening to this that will actually apply this information that’s why there’s no cure for inequality because everyone is different and everyone makes different choices because everyone has there own emotions
Chapter 4, man
Is he referring to the book "12 rules of life", or some other book?
Did the pareto distribution apply for the cause of the French Revolution?
D Drake please elaborate.
You cut 20% of the body (Guillotinewise) and the death comes better than cutting the other 80%
It's very hard to stick to goals you've set for yourself. I've made in my eyes fantastic weight lost progress this year but my progress has slowed drastically and at times even reversing because my outdoor job isn't nearly as strenuous during the fall months which I have attributed much of my weight loss, but also my cheat day(s) get really out of hand at times. Monday morning my weight is completely shot up on the scale and it takes all week to get back down, but I keep rewarding myself for little to no progress each week and feel bad about it afterwards.
I've gotten to my goal weight of 200 lbs but was disappointed to find out that even dropping 75 lbs wasn't enough to look the way I wanted.
I've gotten to 198 but I'm currently 214 as of writing this, and it's really discouraging. I can manage to maybe get back down to 205 by Friday but I know I'm just gonna gorge myself on pizza and ice cream...
How is it going nowadays?
any updates?
@@simplyaasian7176 since that time I've made great strides in controlling my appetite. I'm still the same weight, but I've developed a much better muscular physique and I'm actually really happy with my body composition. I still have fat stores around my midsection, and I'm making my progress is way slower than it has to be, but at least it's progress.
@@mermaidman961 ayyy thats good to hear brodie u should give yourself a pat on the back
It’s been 4 years .. how successful are you now? Did you stick to you goals?
Set big unreasonable long term goals and take small daily steps towards them
Great book on this principle is James Clear’s “ Atomic Habits”
Get 1 percent better each day and truly change your life!
This sounds like the Objectives and Key Results framework.
Great speech! I love Peterson and everything... BUT... Isn't that Price’s law instead of Pareto distribution?
The Weresheepdog same thing discovered seperate from eachother, both names work

Profit is the cost of productivity
MyLifeForAuir87 I prefer the terms effective and competent.
FOR ARDUN
Isn't Peterson mixing up Pareto (20/80) and Price's Law (the square root of)?
I think he mentioned both
6:07
OK, that's interesting, but I have some follow-up questions:
If 3 out of 10 employees do most of the work and 100 out of 10,000 do most of the work, then does this say more about each one of the 10,000 (or 10) employees or does this say more about the opportunity distribution? After all, the qualities that enable those more productive humans are normally-distributed.
And of course, does it mean that 9,900 employees should really be fired? Or, what does it mean, really?
7:26 Stop comparing yourself to other people [because] 7:56 you don't know all the details of their life
8:17 Make today some tiny increment better than yesterday
80/20 pareto principle , pareto distribution and , matthew principle . Means there are always going to be around us , so we cannot compare ourselevs to others or succesful people because then you then have nothing to aim at and move towards it ?
we need a ideal to aim at , but not a ideal which is too distant from oursleves because that makes it dificult to move towards it and take action . [ an ideal is always a judge ]
benefit of having an ideal + also not letting the distant from the goal{ideal} to crush you = make a big goal goal , then break it into actionable steps and make the coming step a little hard that it compeles improvment in you but not that much harder that you lack motivation to do it .
you cannot compare yourself to others because the details of your life are different and you don’t know in detail about thier life.
the best person to compare to is you yourself yesterday [ it make you able to start and get the ball rolling ], goal is to make some tiny increment better than yesterday , learn and implement something new daily or do something extra daily , or break your limits daily .
incremental improvment is incredible , it Compounds , it start to generate pareto distribution consequences
The man talked about in the beginning is ask yourself’s grandfather
How would you tell treat children
Babysteps! :D
Pareto efficiency is to be found in the first semester of economics on universities.
Yes, but the Pareto distribution is a completely different idea.
1:25
Is it bad if I live to help support my siblings? I don't have kids of my own and I don't want any, but I do want to help my family. Is this a bad goal to aim towards? I prefer to be alone but feel as though that's as healthy as a relationship
Any goal is a good goal as long as it is moral and lawful. And something like you've said is very noble. Do not let today's world fool you. Our ultimate biological goal in life is to create life and to take care of our peers.
