Jordan Peterson, best internet dad ever.
Kimo Sabe ❤️
Thank you the comment, so true.
Better than my dad at least, hahahaha.
yes he is. After a while with his guidance and help you can't help but to call him dad
@@michaelbark3893 he's a good Zionist dad
haha love it!! 😆
This guy has to be high on the empathy scale. It's like...he really wants you to succeed, even though he is giving some harsh & difficult advice
He speaks like a father
Evan Green, I would call his speech a general talk about care - true care. Not post modernist oppression rant about how weak we all are. If everyone urged and supported each other to what we are afraid of I truly believe society would be better off
Facing Your Dragons: The Beginning hey man do you have any advice, I desperately want to get a job but so terrified of being around people and I feel like I’m going to mess up and get fired.
Well, he is a clinical psychologist. He is really interested in helping people in harsh situations.
NOPE that’s funny bc I was questioning harsh... maybe both are in question.
I'm never getting tired listening to him.
This is a good point. I just realized this. There are many great speakers, lecturers and thinkers who are wise and admirable but after awhile I get tired of them or need a break. However, it's not the same with Dr. Peterson. I could literally listen to him non-stop and not get tired of him. Something about him.
Why'd you type it like that
Someone please give this man an award for articulation.
Where the dragons are, is also where the treasure is
this was really an eye-opener for me. Really good perspective to look at the things that frighten you
"Aha!... Dragon! Treasure!"
-Jordan Peterson
qwertyuiop123456789 The uninitiated might think that Jordan Peterson is some character from a high fantasy story.
Nice photo. In Korea right now, love the country.
Treasure is behind the dragon, you only get the treasure once you defeat the dragon
Do not watch his videos to be motivated. Motivation only lasts so little. Watch them to learn and view the world differently which might then change the actions you are taking.
Damn... This motivated me.
Thank you
Also, the word "motivation" has been sorta tainted today (all the get rich gurus)
He’s like the trainer who is in your corner giving you advice before the bell rings and the next round begins.
Watch videos to face truth man!
Actually, motivation is something that you do because you are forced to do.
This video couldn't have come at a more perfect time
THIS is what real empowerment is.
My dragon fighting skill has just leveled up with this video.
grats andre the dragon slayer
You can add a plus 2 to your stat 🤓
You feel like you've get some livechanging advice from a warmhearted place.
* * * Your Knowledge and charm has increased!
Jordan’s “pearls” never cease to surprise...”I see something I fear...this means dragon; AND gold...right here”.
We have nothing to lose by trying to beat the dragon; at the very least there is only learning to be had - even if that particular dragon wins that round. Knowledge is second only to air!
Horror is associated with disgust. Terror is associated with uncertainty
Brandon Brophy I agree
Very well put.
The horror
....the horror.
I wonder what the tests in this class were like.
'Should you clean your room and why?'
I’d imagine it’d be more like “what does clean your room mean in general?” If its a more generalized philosophy course. If its a higher level then maybe “what would cleaning your room mean for you?”
5:47 How cool is it to see this extremely serious man genuinely laugh for once? That's great.
AND that fifteen seconds he takes after is great. I would love to know what that was.
I'm glad that a man like him exists.
He has been more present in my life than my actual Father.
Same.
I have a fear of intimacy from being hurt and betrayed by authoritarian figures throughout my childhood. I’ve pushed people away for years but now I have a chance to have a relationship with the most beautiful and funniest girl I’ve ever met. I have to overcome this. Thank you Peterson
Watch the movie "Good Will Hunting" if you haven't already.
Spoilers: it is about a kid with exactly that kind of problem. And my GOD it is a wonderful one.
how did it go?
Gotta first pull yourself out of the victim mindset before you interact with people or you'll leave them damaged forever.. Work on yourself
But did u smash
omg 6:00 Jordan smiled and laughed... so fucking cute
A DC oh, get it together. He was thinking about what to say next.
I like to believe he was holding back tears during that silence, touched by the fact that the audience gave him some hope for humanity.
7:44 Aha! Look I'm afraid of something and I'm avoiding it. Dragon. Treasure. Exactly there.
Key part, screen recorded, added to vault
Remind yourself of this video the day of a great painful failure.
Belive me young people, anything helpful will help A LOT.
I'm turned all the way on!
otoolex hahahahaha
Turn me on coach!
so's your mom
Great comedic timing on his part! And he didn't even intend it!
😂 uncharacteristic/unanticipated comedy is my favorite kind of comedy.
To transform yourself, you have to confront the murky snake in a dark cave. You have to find the things that you are avoiding though you know you should do it. If you dare to voluntarily face things that you don't know how to do and let the consequences transform yourself, you will grow. Don’t avoid things that are necessary to pursue the goal just because they cause negative emotions. It's a tough thing to know that the world is not safe. Nevertheless, you'll get to be competent and persist despite sufferings in life.
Very powerful shit.
You have a biological repository of potential yous laying dormant at the highest resolution level of your molecular structure. 5:34 so true
We know what he is talking about. Ever tried completing an end of year exam with minimal time left?
@@pieismylove5875 me, me, me.
I haven't yet been motivated by JP like most people have, but this one does it!
I love Jordan Peterson so much man. Great role model and invaluable counsel to have in such trying times.
Was really dope to see him laugh and smile for a change. Only other time I've caught that is when he's talking about his wife (which says a lot about how highly he thinks of her).
I don't want to listen to these videos, so that means I REALLY need to watch these videos to get the cold hard truth.
Hououin Kyouma! AHA !
ha gotcha!
true lol
Hououin Kyouma! Clean your room bucko!
This is amazing.
Brilliant. Even when his advice is hard to swallow, I find that I often walk away empowered after watching these videos.
I cannot believe how lucky I am to find this right now !!!! Absolutely beautiful !!!
Listening to this it just hit me: That safe space and the core Philosophy of every SJW Agenda is the very antithesis to the idea Peterson lays out here.
Why do you think he's against it? Besides that it's a cancer that destroys whatever it touches?
3:11
Did he just say Muzak?😂
JP the 🐐
Hahahaha
Was looking for this comment lol
Thank you again Dr Peterson. Always learning from you.
I really don't want to watch another of Jordan's videos... AHA!
I see what you did there.
Lmaoooo.. AHA!!
i got so much initial "up front" material to work with from the good doctor that it can be difficult to narrow down one or two useful things. but his dragon (of chaos) analogies - i *always* love those. they speak to the young (now, older) adventurer in me and are instantly relatable and useful. thankyou Dr. Peterson.
This video has been in my feed several times the last week (I also added it to watch later so might be why). The title and the algorithm putting it in the feed really spoke to my paranoid psychotic part.
Trying to face such fears continuously. Gonna watch this video again.
Battle the dragons!
This Video came just in the right time
Courage often seems superfluous in ways it wouldn't have been in the past. Then, you stumble across fear and are offered a chance to do something about it. It is a lot more impressive when it is very real and right in front of you. Then, you know what courage entails.
Thanks for that
Absolute and clear info.. bless n carry on DR.P. thank you for your time...
Dude this guy is such an awesome human, it’s unbelievable
musac playing
im so pumped! cmon everybody lets get turned completely on !!!
That fatherly smile at 6:08 is just priceless ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I really enjoyed this ❤ TY
This is brilliant
Probably my fav clip of his.
So good!!
As someone that suffers from severe social anxiety, this is so relatable, lol. Being forced to do oral presentations and public speaking hit me like a ton of bricks.
@NOPE public speeches behind your own back, that must be really something
being forced wont help you, you have to do it of your own accord. Peterson talks about this. Being forced brings negative fight or flight response, willingly doing things that scare you brings about a feeling of accomplishment.
Pretty cool how he evolved from having the camera on his desk to having someone tape it in the back
Amazing human being
Peterson says "it's not 'follow your bliss'", a direct counter to that other modern champion of mythology and archetypes, Joseph Campbell. From Campbell I always got the impression that "follow your bliss" meant pursuing what inspires you, what you enjoy working hard at, what causes you to lose track of time, etc. Sounds wonderful, if a bit new agey and idealistic. And the truth is, we often don't do it. Why? Because dragons are those things that can limit your territory of exploration, and can devour you if you get too close. Does one have to conquer one's dragons to follow one's bliss? It won't hurt. They're likely guarding territory that contains a higher bliss, and they can greatly inhibit what little bliss one is trying to follow. Like the artist who never activates the bold daring visions within for fear of criticism, spending a life circling it from a distance, "pursuing his bliss", but never fully realizing it. So in a way, the treasure the dragon guards *is* the bliss, or the exponential growth of it. Campbell just didn't focus on the terrifying consequences of his statement. Peterson says something like, "no this is going to scare the crap out of you, but it's more than worth it, in fact it's necessary if you want to truly live".
Matthew Anderson - nicely summarised.
Your predicament sounds pretty shitty, and I can't imagine what it's like for you. Also, I don't know anything about you or the details of your situation, so what I have to say is very speculative.
Having said that, this sounds something like a Harvey Weinstein scenario, so maybe there's some leverage possible for you here in the wake of the #metoo movement. But you've likely thought of that, so maybe not.
My intuition is telling me that the more something requires you to sacrifice your values, the more likely it is to be a mirage, or a "let down" as you put it. That is actually a big part of what addiction is, btw. It lures people with a taste of heaven, "touching the stars", peace, whatever (depending on the drug of course). Then it takes more and more to get less and less of a taste, until the only reason you're using is to feel normal and to avoid the hell of withdrawal. In the meantime, you've had to sacrifice all your values such as loyalty, honesty, etc. to sustain the habit.
Is your dream an illusion, an inevitable letdown? I couldn't possibly say. But have you spoken to dancers who are already there? Are they genuinely happy? Are they experiencing everything that you imagine it to be? What are the downsides? And if they claim it's great, can you tell if they're rationalizing (to justify what they went through and might still be going through), or if it's genuine?
Also, I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "touching the stars". It could entail a need for recognition (which I definitely recognize within myself), or it could also imply an experience of transcendence. Recognition comes to very few, and I suspect it's very overrated (I wouldn't know personally). But experiences like transcendence and meaningfulness are different. My faith is that these things are available to everyone, and that nobody is required to sacrifice their values in order to experience them. That's actually part of what makes them so great; they don't leave a bitter taste due to the requirements of attaining them.
When it comes to these sexual predators, or any external circumstances which you ultimately can't be guaranteed to "defeat", at the very least, don't let them defeat you. New possibilities will open up that you never saw before. There is always a way, not to every external result (e.g. becoming a dancer), but to every internal result (e.g. meaningfulness and transcendence)
So in the process of transformation that comes with facing our dragons the result may or may not look how we preconceived it would. It may or may not show up as what we thought we wanted. But it *will* show up for those who go through the process.
Personally, my greatest (and unintentional at first) achievement in life, and most meaningful and rewarding experience, has been raising my two children to the best of my ability. It has required a lot of sacrifices (e.g. I've been a barista for 14 years so I could be there for them, instead of using that time to pursue a better paying, more socially respected career). But I never had to sacrifice my values. Quite the opposite. I've grown tremendously, and I'm not sure what would be more meaningful than that.
I'm just a random guy online, but I hope these words will be of some help, and I wish you the best of luck.
I hear what you're saying. Maybe I should transcend my being to find other ways to achieve my dreams and keep what morals I do have alive; I was so ready to feed them to the lions man because I do want fame. I deleted my comment, so as to not keep personal business out there too long,, but thanks for your reply.
chini with, to be honest, I regret using the word transcendence because I'm not entirely sure what it means to transcend one's being. But if it means something to you and if you think you can genuinely do it, then great. I do believe it means something, I just don't know exactly what it looks like, or if it's an appropriate way to deal with your particular issue.
What I do know is the value of orienting oneself toward a meaningful purpose. It can help one endure and overcome a lot of hardship and suffering. Things which are probably unavoidable in life and the process of growth.
Also, there's nothing wrong with wanting fame and recognition. It's good to be aware of it, and be careful not to let it drive you to do anything that's not in your best interest.
This video must have been extremely beneficial to everyone!
He is AWESOME!!!
Wow. Just wow
God Bless Dr Jordan Peterson
Jordan you truly are a genius at Explaining what you want to get across to your students
I was never able to fully appreciate the value of what Jordan Peterson is talking about in these courses when I stumbled upon them years ago while I was still living my life content and with my eyes closed to the things I was afraid of about my life. I just thought they were interesting thought experiments and quirky stories. But when you actually encounter and wrestle with your fears you realise how important these ideas really are.
6:43 Oh my fuck, that hit a nerve on my brain
It was ,again, great 👏👏👏👏
Grow up? How about "grow-out".
I LOVE this perspective, thank you!
This just gave me an Epiphany of why I was so scared during a really intense salvia trip I had a few months back
As ever Peterson is right !
good.
At 5:34 I experienced a paradigm shift in relation to self expression. Wow!!!! JP is something.
Damn........ these students are actually learning about how to go through college and life in college. And if they learn it, they pass through. How wonderful and meta at so many levels
5:56 Jordan Peterson lecture gone sexual.
where are these type of teachers when i was at college? i graduated listening to lectures, right now several years after college still listening to lectures
"If you want security you might as well be dead. Because there`s nothing happening over there. "
But that's nice but in life though
This is why i have no qualms about putting myself into dangerous situations, even intentionally as well as incidentally.
I want to know how i will react in them. I want to face my fears, and know i can handle it (which ive been in enough situations to know that i can) and i want to grow up. Im 26 but i feel like im 16. I never had a father to help me grow up. And i believe experience is the best teacher.
It has nothing to do with "thrill seeking." It has to do with maturity by fire.
Inputs and outputs.
5:24-6:02 maybe Peterson’s best moment of all time
Fun fact:
Jordan Peterson was a professor at Harvard for 5-6 years before he decided to move back to Toronto.
There’s great utility in the things you don’t like
Epic video! It's not only what Jordan says, but the way he says it. He makes it visual using great metaphors. He is a Jung enthusiast.
Ammer Reduron "Metaphors"
cheers dude, typo, no native but perfectionist hehe
3:46 in a few words he described me completely. Now I've been at parties, I've had bad times in parties, but I've never been able to improve my social skills. I'm just incapable of holding smalltalk and casual conversations
I really think I don't have any potential
I love this dragon and gold shit he’s always on about. Powerful
I honestly, with all the truth in my soul, i never seen before a better human being that jordan peterson, for me he is the peak a human can be in this time.
The end of this tidbit also ties into his overall order vs chaos teachings.
My favorite so far lol
Yes! the DNA
ERP Therapy is difficult..I am going through it will OCD and this is what he is talking about.
I'm so grateful to God that I've found you
alot of people give the blair witch project shit but i thought it was really good for the budget that went into it. i really appreciate how affective the movie was and i also think the climax was as good as they couldve made it
Joe Geraci I think Christian Fundamentalists give it crap because of Satan worship or whatever.
That was hilarious and informative
This is called the treatment of OCD which is Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). This man is absolutely the right man to watch.
I have this weird issue where I avoid eye contact with people simply because when I do look at them they avert their eyes. They can look at me while I look away or I can look at them while they look away but we can never meet in the middle
7:35 ❤❤❤❤
Would like to meet the dude!
" Dont avoid doing things, because they make you feel negative emotions". So true. When there are times I want to attempt to socialize, and I don't, I have this negative feeling with me throughout the day, but I did not realize how not doing what I want to do because of fear, makes me feel miserable. Amazing Dr. Peterson!
This is as simple as going to work in the morning, or as hard as i think it is to go to work in the morning, all the more reason to go.
Thats universal, stop imagining you have a connection with someone just bc you want one with their ideological networth. Sometimes growing up is realizing everyone is the master of their own destiny and some of us are meant to do this alone. We cant house break something thats bent on being gross
We come to terms with only actually having control of just ourselves and thats fine, go away.
Ahahahaha "you should think AHA!! DRAGON! TREASURE!" JBP kills me
How does this video not have more views?
synopsis: you set your own limits, and move toward what you are afraID OF
JP is right on the money here about your personal demons being the worst. I've watched the worst horror movies you can think of -- The Exorcist, The Human Centipede, Hostel, Baskin, etc. -- and let me tell you those are a cuddly delight compared to how I feel when I upset someone and/or let them down, or how I feel when I think I've wasted a significant chunk of my life. I'd rather go through what all of those characters went through in those movies than experience what I feel when my aforementioned personal troubles confront me.
I'm not exaggerating. I am extremely intelligent and insanely enthusiastic about working my ass off. I could have been a billionaire or a top-cited scientist by now if I wasn't fucking crippled by my fear of mistreating people and misusing time.
Its okay
I fought many dragons and get many treasures and wounds.
Hopefully the fights seem to be endless, they rarely take the shapes we would like but when those boring and disgusting enemies are killed, more interesting bosses arrived.
Slaying a dragon a day keeps the doctor away.
He's a great man I would love to show him what happens when you dive into the spiritual world. And show him what an extra sensory can do.
Seen it
Man, I hate sales calls, I mean it really gives me anxiety, but for my business to grow, I need to do them
Thing is, when I actually get on the calls it’s not as bad as I expected, even though I’ll sometimes have shortness of breath, jumble up my words, or lose my train of thought
So hearing this is illuminating, I realize my imagination is capable of both making me better and destroying me,
The horror movie example especially, it just makes sense, if I can see the thing making the scary noises, it’s not as scary
I want to change, I do, but man there is some serious push back going on,
I need to change, I need to step out of my comfort zone more, but I think I’m scared
If every class was like this, i wouldve never stop going to college
