I did the future authorship program, 6 months later I had done everything on my plan an over doubled my already very good salary an started my own business and was working for myself which was all in my plan, after it I said I need to meet Dr Peterson shake his hand and tell him thank you, and I did exactly that in Manchester last year when I went to see him speak, I bought the meet and greet tickets I was front row no more then 2 meters from JBP almost the whole show, after it I got to say thanks and shake his hand, just like I visualised it, this man helped me improve my already good life, it is nearly 2 years since I did the future authorship and I have never had it better, I now need to redo the plan because I need new bigger goals
StrongerthanYesterday do it man nothing to lose :) I still haven’t redone it btw :( without a solid plan I can confirm you will just drift by like me now, but am still in a great position from the last plan so it’s still all good :D
The idea that people already know what they need through their conscience but don't know how to get there, and telling them step by step how to get there won't help (generic self-help), and only by prompting them to *write* out what they need for themselves can the path become apprehended before them...that is one of his most profound understandings.
I don't get it... if I want to take his course and ppl keep talking about remembering your past.. someone said they can't remember anything early until grade 6..I only remember bits and pieces. And I'm late 30s. So what hell is in my brain that my brain only unlock? If I can't remember
@@YasminMahnaz the thing is the most important moments you will remember, and to be honest you just got to understand what are your fears now , your believes, thinking patterns ,... sorry if its not spell correctly
I decided to start with Present Authoring: Virtues, but by the time I finished selecting traits I found I couldn’t write about how my life has been improved by them. Because all I could see was the Fault aspects of the traits, and how they had made my life worse. (And I hadn’t even completed the Faults part of the program yet.) So, frustrated, and figuring that I was doing something wrong, I searched Jordan talking about the program on youtube. It’d been a while since I’d heard him speak about it, and I had decided to start the program on a whim years after purchasing it. And like magic, the first video I watch solves my problem within the first 30 seconds lol Thank you Mr. Peterson. I have to go in with the mindset that I’m someone worthy of respect and care. Part of me is kicking and spitting and cussing like a cat at vet’s office at the /thought/ of doing that. But what happens if you don’t take a ill cat to a vet? And what has become of me and my life as a result of not taking care of myself? Suddenly I’m not fighting this exercise anymore. Edit: Just because the cat’s been sedated, doesn’t mean the issues are gone. Now it’s time to get to work.
I love the profoundness of your comments😊. They are are so true believing I'm someone who is deserving of respect and care has eluded me for far too long and I hate the idea of loving myself, especially when I can't stand the person in the mirror. It's nice to see I'm not the only one fighting this battle.
How could anyone listen to this description of who the Self Authoring program helps the most and decide that JBP is a nazi or white nationalist or bigot or whatever they're labeling him with today?
People who don't care. People who hate the idea of responsibility. People who hate the idea that one can improve their life, but that it's hard work. Most importantly people who hate the people he appeals to and why.
Only those who don´t really listen to him are able to believe such idiotic nonsense about this man. Who truely is one of the most valuable persons alive at the moment, when considering their value for our whole species.
Because our society has gone so insane that the mob has decided that if anyone doesn't succumb to the hive mind perogative and cow tow to them fully on every issue that goes through their mind at every moment of every day, by default, that person is an agent of evil and must be destroyed. And after they misuse and misconstrue the message they are claiming to embody they usually say something about "peace and love," being "woke" or "positive vibes." 😊 #IfYouDontLaughYoullCry
I’m 27(male). I decided to buy the program on a whim, because I wanted to work on myself through writing. Everything started off great until I started to detail my past experiences. I went from feeling normal to breaking out crying unexpectedly as I started to type more. I wasn’t expecting that reaction from me, but once I stopped crying I felt a lot better. Did anyone else cry or release emotions while doing the program? If so, did it have a positive or negative impact on you?
Jordan Peterson said you may feel more emotional within the first couple of weeks during/after writing the past authoring program because you are writing very specifically about past events that played important positive and negative experiences in your life. Some of those experiences can be unbelievably daunting and scary because you may have had some exciting and/or traumatizing events happen in your life (which can cause emotions to be volatile). Peterson said later on though that people eventually feel way better after completing the program. The reason is that it makes people feel more grounded and stronger because they voluntarily confronted their past by typing it out. They may realize that some experiences were not as scary or a big deal as they originally thought in their heads (which is what happened with me). He says this quote a lot which I think is relevant to your questions and the self authoring program in general, "When people confront what they're scared of, it's not that they become less afraid, they become braver. And becoming braver is way different and better than being less afraid."
I just bought it, and i am in the beggining. After describing one of my faults, I fucking could not help it. It really affeted me (even though after finishing I realized I did the assignment wrong lol). But it is refreshening, like you never really know you have those issues until you do it on paper
I embarked on the self authoring program approx 3 years ago, with other commitments and duties, it’s taken me years to get to the present authoring chapter. The faults section has seriously disturbed my psych. How could I have been so ignorant, is the main trail of thought combined with a deep feeling of shame. I have not reached the past authoring chapter, I deliberately chose to leave it to last as I wanted to focus on improving the trajectory of the present and future. It’s a challenging process but transformational. I now feel a deep understanding and compassion towards why humans don’t want to change. Breaking the mold is a lofty aim. Facing external obstacles and solving life problems seems like a minor task compared to having to face yourself at the greatest depth!
Ok, so... let's work from the start - We are worthy of care and respect and there is something valuable in us that could be developed... I feel it's the main thing to overcome. Does the programm cover this fundamental issue? Also would be great if the Program was translated to Polish! Thank you : )
In another lecture he described women's mostly being agreeable. I expounded that many agreeable people by excepting so much end up on the treadmill of the historical male work profile. Whereby many seem to end up chasing their own tail in to the oblivion of past historical mistakes, such as the monarch type control of the elites or the vacuum of personal choices & freedoms of the Chinese Communist model. Men though it took millenia and millions of lives, even those lost in our revolution to be less agreeable enough to fight for the freedoms many formerly oppressed now enjoy. Thus the purpose for men in advancing societal progress through a Christian model of moral & ethics, even though it produced the greatest outcome of humanity's existence is being thwarted by the agreeable hordes willing to kiss up to any length dispite moral or detriment to others or society even humanity in general for a pavlovian dog's reward for now sacrificing the future of human kind and potentially the planet itself
Can i really improve my neuroticism though? You said in your personality course its hard to improve the trait neuroticism & it will takes a lifetime. Why do i feel like my fate is set in stone. I dont like someone or life telling me what i can or cannot do just because i have a high neuroticism.
In the self-authoring program, do you write something very personal and electronically transfer it or email it to the self-authoring website? Is there data security?
I want to ask people who have used the program: my husband does not write. He won't sit and write. Can we do this together and can we record him verbally answering? Or with me jotting down sketch notes? Is this something that could be done in a rough manner ?
I can't answer your question but I can tell you that "Writing" is the main component of most of Dr Peterson's programs. He firmly believes that "writing is thinking" and even though I have not done the Self Authoring program I did start using a form of guided journaling, idea and thought capturing about six months ago as I began working with "Personal Knowledge Management" software. I can highly recommend it and my advice would be to get your husband to start writing, just five minutes a day in a physical diary, a simple text file or a program like Obsidian.

@@clarkdavison40 My husband has been a mechanic for 24 years now. He is a hands-on type of person. He doesn't read (refuses to also read instructions often) and will scribble down notes on his to-do list for service writers.

Adding on deression is just another road block, unfortunately. I did finally ask him last night of he would attempt to write some goals down and follow a prompt.... so I think I will purchase and see how it goes.
Instead of lazily waiting for someone to tell you an answer on a UA-cam comment...just go to the website... I could tell you, but you won't grow because you're not taking action yourself and likely won't buy the course anyways.
@@LifeGuideYogiuhm, i just bought the full suite. I have written more words in the future authoring than my present faults, virtues and my past authoring combined.
Oliv Trees You won’t ever have any idea what you want to do or become if you don’t step outside of your boundaries. Sounds obvious enough. But the only way to know and find what you want to do and where to go in life, is to put yourself out there and try to do many different things, take risks, learn from others, delay instant gratifications, and most importantly; the ability to sacrifice. There’s no other way. Trust me.
I dont know exactly either, but you should try it anyways because it helps open your mind to possibilities. I am starting with the past authoring one first, then going to the present ones, and then to the future.
The program works you through exercises that will help you determine that so for example, you already know what the worst parts about your personality are, maybe you procrastinate or have an alcohol problem, so imagine what your life might look like if you allowed those vices to consume you. You would quickly become deeply depressed and dissatisfied with your life, now imagine what your life might look like if you overcame those issues. If you beat procrastination you would have less stress and more open schedule time and perhaps money, if you beat an alcohol problem you would feel better and who knows how many other benefits. Now, this is a small example, but many exercises like that allow you to piece together a sort of goal in concrete terms for how your life could be good, or at least better. Once you have the goal all you have to do is draw serious actions between your current objective and the goal and execute, which may seem difficult, but after having a worthy ideal, the motivation and discipline to pursue will come easier to you.
Oliv Trees I think that is the point of the exercise. It helps you bring to the front what you have in the back of your mind waiting. It also helps you brain storm and think bigger about possiblities. Doing nothing is worse than trying something!
Black is an american thing. People from Africa dont see themseves as black. A black dude from UK doesnt see himself as a black dude, he sees himself as british or insert country.
i realy like peterson but i have a little doubt about how efficient the program could be in totalitarian countries. it may work for a working class member in the west where you can choose your work (if you have the credentials) but how is it supposed to work for example in north korea ? (an extreme example i know) or a woman in saudi arabia. or let's say i want to become a model but i am short and bald or an olympic athlete ? thing is: not everyone in the world can become everything, and even if they could, there is HUGE competition. so you have to 1. be genetically gifted enough, so you can even meet the basic criteria of that profession and 2. be better than the competition, who want the same thing. on top of the pyramid, there is only enough space for one king, and i don't want to be a servant. in the end, everything is a competition and the winner will take it all, even if he is morally corrupted. life is war.
I would rather try my best at something or fail than not trying at all, no matter what my circumstances are. I believe only a super delirious person would set a goal that it's very unattainable by circumstances anyway. Most people assess their situations and take everything into account before setting a goal, and they should expect failure and acknowledge it's part of the process. It's not strictly about achieving the goal, it's also the process.
It’s not exactly about achieving the goal itself... if you can acheive your goal its very good, but the most important thing is to have something that is meaningful to pursue troughout your life. The pursuit itself its what is going to improve the way you live even in the poorest of conditions. To quote Nietzsche: “he who has a why to live can bear almost any how”
It's never too late to improve, I'm not 50 but I think you should try it. The fact that you've thought of taking the course means your gut is telling you to. Just try it with the aim of learning something new about yourself. Or don't take it, this is just a suggestion from a stranger on the internet.
Doing it now at 40 we are young the future has 40 50 years more now if we take care of ourselves properly both mentally physically spirituality and financially. The path your on is no where near over it's actually just about as long as your past if you do it right, personally I've survived cancer opiate addiction several comas from reckless irresponsible behaviour but today at 40 I'm the best physical shape I've ever been (even better then when I was professional athlete) not trying brag but if you regulate your physical state your hormone levels (on my case thru diet and exercise 5.11 Ng/mL currently so don't need trt at least yet). If you free yourself from your own limitations the opportunities are limitless. Learn about hypergamy so that your relationships with women become based of facts and circumstances not random Disney fantasies(maybe you already do and have a good social life). I'm simply point out the fact that there is so much information now available for everything external why not spend some time learning about your past your present and plan your future willfully? I'll give you a self authoring suite personally of the money man, don't spend another second thinking about improving your life and the lives of people around you worst case you'll spend some time on a program you dont like best case you stop being controlled by your past and your willful ignorance of why you do what you do and learn about yourself and adopt the skills to change what ever is wrong in your life mate
Being 50 years old or 52 or 55 is a good time. You can do another career shift before retirement (or two). Then e.g. at 65, it would also be a good time, since you can plan how to spend your retirement. If it's less than 100 US$, it's certainly worth it if it can positively influence the next 10 or 15 years.
thats all and good, but how do you do this when you literally have no wishes or "wants" as an answer for any of these questions? like i have no wants what so ever, unless you count wanting to die, but thats not much of a plan so wtf is next lol
You sound depressed. Maybe you could start by wanting to get better? I have been depressed for many years in the past, and remember that feeling. But believe me, it can get much better. And when you are doing better, you will have no wish to die.
Obviously you may be suffering from depression. Another possibility is that your emotions are numb, perhaps because of adverse experience / trauma. In either case, seeking medical help would be the way forward.
It is not only about what you want or wish for, you also have to be realistic and describe what you need, and sometimes what we need isn't fun or exciting.
I have similar sentiments as female but I have kids and little babies that need my help. I still think about death but I have responsibilities to them and I've read that kids have hard time forgiving the parent that did the suicide. Also being married to someone that is emotionally* dead, blase, indifferent unless it involves his parents or siblings or friends* is depressing. Life gets over whelming. I don't see purpose after raising them. I'd be useless and not needed one their able. I don't have career mindset and I'm older. So keeping busy with trying new receipes, trying make new friends, avoiding home life to get a break and break free from being married, unhappy, loveless marriage all for sake of raising kids. I chose this path and I'm on it. It's hard. Af. Covid and isolation was OK for little while then I tried finding new parks like adrug. Any way ihope you find ur path. I'm older than you and I feel this way. I felt it when I was younger but I too don't have wishes. I wish I didn't feel so much pain or emotions since I was a kid. I wish I wasn't sensitive and empathetic to the world. I wish I was lot things. But as Peterson said about women. I only wanted a family, kids and lover and good home. I got half. Was it worth it? Choose wisely when your young. Options to opt out are bleak. Get out when your young and able.
Your brain knows this program is a really good idea. But sometimes things that are good, are hard. And our brains can repel such ideas, because remaining as we are, is easier. It’s hard to grow. But we should Always try, and strive to improve ourselves. We can’t improve ourselves and our lives if we don’t try. Even if we end up not succeeding, we can try.
what the hell, this man put so many years and effort into becoming who he is today to help people and you are seriously going to thank god rather than peterson himself? 😂

I understand your question. My husband is trying to change careers after 23 years-- does this help him with a career direction at all?
Non western ethnic minority? Meaning black/asian?
Anything east and south of Europe tbh
He's racist
I'm asian !
Black is an american thing. People from Africa dont see themseves as black. A black dude from UK doesnt see himself as a black dude, he sees himself as british or insert country.
i realy like peterson but i have a little doubt about how efficient the program could be in totalitarian countries. it may work for a working class member in the west where you can choose your work (if you have the credentials) but how is it supposed to work for example in north korea ? (an extreme example i know) or a woman in saudi arabia. or let's say i want to become a model but i am short and bald or an olympic athlete ? thing is: not everyone in the world can become everything, and even if they could, there is HUGE competition. so you have to 1. be genetically gifted enough, so you can even meet the basic criteria of that profession and 2. be better than the competition, who want the same thing. on top of the pyramid, there is only enough space for one king, and i don't want to be a servant. in the end, everything is a competition and the winner will take it all, even if he is morally corrupted. life is war.
humility can help with that. with reasonable expectations, there's no way it would feel like you have had hit a wall.
Reasonable expectations may be?
I would rather try my best at something or fail than not trying at all, no matter what my circumstances are. I believe only a super delirious person would set a goal that it's very unattainable by circumstances anyway. Most people assess their situations and take everything into account before setting a goal, and they should expect failure and acknowledge it's part of the process. It's not strictly about achieving the goal, it's also the process.
It’s not exactly about achieving the goal itself... if you can acheive your goal its very good, but the most important thing is to have something that is meaningful to pursue troughout your life. The pursuit itself its what is going to improve the way you live even in the poorest of conditions. To quote Nietzsche: “he who has a why to live can bear almost any how”
Common sense perhaps?

Has anyone taken his self authoring course that is 50 or over? I am not sure if this is something that would benefit me at this stage in my life.
It's never too late to improve, I'm not 50 but I think you should try it.
The fact that you've thought of taking the course means your gut is telling you to.
Just try it with the aim of learning something new about yourself.
Or don't take it, this is just a suggestion from a stranger on the internet.
Listen to your gut man, give it a shot. You still have so many things to look forward to in life even at 50.
Doing it now at 40 we are young the future has 40 50 years more now if we take care of ourselves properly both mentally physically spirituality and financially. The path your on is no where near over it's actually just about as long as your past if you do it right, personally I've survived cancer opiate addiction several comas from reckless irresponsible behaviour but today at 40 I'm the best physical shape I've ever been (even better then when I was professional athlete) not trying brag but if you regulate your physical state your hormone levels (on my case thru diet and exercise 5.11 Ng/mL currently so don't need trt at least yet). If you free yourself from your own limitations the opportunities are limitless. Learn about hypergamy so that your relationships with women become based of facts and circumstances not random Disney fantasies(maybe you already do and have a good social life). I'm simply point out the fact that there is so much information now available for everything external why not spend some time learning about your past your present and plan your future willfully? I'll give you a self authoring suite personally of the money man, don't spend another second thinking about improving your life and the lives of people around you worst case you'll spend some time on a program you dont like best case you stop being controlled by your past and your willful ignorance of why you do what you do and learn about yourself and adopt the skills to change what ever is wrong in your life mate
Being 50 years old or 52 or 55 is a good time. You can do another career shift before retirement (or two).
Then e.g. at 65, it would also be a good time, since you can plan how to spend your retirement.
If it's less than 100 US$, it's certainly worth it if it can positively influence the next 10 or 15 years.
Now did you get the program? My offer still stands..
Trying to make payments but it’s not going through
Anybody want to buy a program together and split the bill? I could but coupon as well
thats all and good, but how do you do this when you literally have no wishes or "wants" as an answer for any of these questions? like i have no wants what so ever, unless you count wanting to die, but thats not much of a plan so wtf is next lol
How do you do this when you have no wishes or “wants”? Change the questions. Simple but not easy.
You sound depressed. Maybe you could start by wanting to get better?
I have been depressed for many years in the past, and remember that feeling. But believe me, it can get much better.
And when you are doing better, you will have no wish to die.
Obviously you may be suffering from depression. Another possibility is that your emotions are numb, perhaps because of adverse experience / trauma. In either case, seeking medical help would be the way forward.
It is not only about what you want or wish for, you also have to be realistic and describe what you need, and sometimes what we need isn't fun or exciting.
I have similar sentiments as female but I have kids and little babies that need my help. I still think about death but I have responsibilities to them and I've read that kids have hard time forgiving the parent that did the suicide. Also being married to someone that is emotionally* dead, blase, indifferent unless it involves his parents or siblings or friends* is depressing. Life gets over whelming. I don't see purpose after raising them. I'd be useless and not needed one their able. I don't have career mindset and I'm older. So keeping busy with trying new receipes, trying make new friends, avoiding home life to get a break and break free from being married, unhappy, loveless marriage all for sake of raising kids. I chose this path and I'm on it. It's hard. Af. Covid and isolation was OK for little while then I tried finding new parks like adrug. Any way ihope you find ur path. I'm older than you and I feel this way. I felt it when I was younger but I too don't have wishes. I wish I didn't feel so much pain or emotions since I was a kid. I wish I wasn't sensitive and empathetic to the world. I wish I was lot things. But as Peterson said about women. I only wanted a family, kids and lover and good home. I got half. Was it worth it? Choose wisely when your young. Options to opt out are bleak. Get out when your young and able.
There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman
He mentions a lot of questions. What if your imagination isn't good enough to answer those questions?
Your brain knows this program is a really good idea. But sometimes things that are good, are hard. And our brains can repel such ideas, because remaining as we are, is easier. It’s hard to grow. But we should Always try, and strive to improve ourselves. We can’t improve ourselves and our lives if we don’t try. Even if we end up not succeeding, we can try.
What is a nonwestern ethnic minority man? If that's not a mix of a mix, what is?
Indian/Asian
THE LORD is good. Jesus Christ, The Son of God is awesome.
what the hell, this man put so many years and effort into becoming who he is today to help people and you are seriously going to thank god rather than peterson himself? 😂
@@januus7764 lool

"you can have what you want and need" This guy clearly doesn't know what's it' like to live with severe limitations.
What would those be? I mean lets be sensible about it...
whats the least amount of effort you coul do within your limitations that would improve your life? Thats the point.
he doesn't need to knoow what it's like to live your life, you do.
@@ksyushakostyuk8449 that's assuming that I actually have to power to improve my life.
It will help you recover from being a victim and empower you. The world needs the best version of you Daniel.
