@@microfarming8583 Why because he works for Daily Wire? Doesn't take away with almost everything he says is worthwhile. If he's controlled opposition he is anti-authoritarian, which is what side we're all on.
Dougla Murray ought debate Dave Smith. If Murray is so right in his Palestine/Isreal assertions, he ought be able to stand for them. I won't hold my breath.
I don't care what anyone says about Dr. Peterson (and a few others), he made me face the truth of myself and how pathetic I was. Always tell the truth even if it hurts you to your bones. I overcome so much because of it but I got more to do. Update (added Nov 9, 2024) - I posted a video update about my comment from Nov 28 2023, it's also an apology for failing to deliver what I intended. Update (added Oct 27, 2024) - The essay turned into a narrative on Canadian Identity tied to my identity. Since I posted that comment I became a standup comic, went viral on Instagram and still currently jobless because the Canadian tech economy sucks. I am a health tech professional, out of work, trying to get by with freelancing. I am going to post a video about my journey and give an update on the book. I think the comment I posted last year became a call to adventure to face myself even more and I learned more about myself than I when I posted it last year. Update (added on Tuesday Nov 28, 2023 at 8:40 am EST) - Thank you so much for all your positive comments. I was overwhelmed, truly. Thank you Chris for highlighting as well. This outpouring has inspired me to be more open about a project I am working on because I am scared to release it... I am a Canadian and I am creating a video essay to take down Trudeau. I don't support any political party but I also don't support tyrannical narcissists either. We're going to make Trudeau face himself like I had to, we're going to make himself look in the mirror. We're going to teach the world how to make a positive difference. There are too many narcissists in power now, enough is enough.
Glad that we actually get to hear how Doc.Thinks n Talks aren't we Lucky in The USA ❤ There's a little here an there that just hits your mine about things we might have really though of and what he teaches young men is awesome ! Thanks
concur my friend, I am acting on and looking for opportunities to my commitment to no lies and truthful actions in my life and recovery journey, thank you Dr. P
Almost 3,5hs, I´ve cleaned my apartment, washed the dishes, made dinner, ate, got emotional, cried, got enthusiastic, and motivated, then humbled at the end by the humility of jordans advice on how to be gratefull....This has been just wonderfull. Thank you both very much,
I couldn't get pat the whole "morally obligated to give it my best". Sorry, I'm already beaten down and cynical in life, I'm old now and I have given up. I'm tired of Jordan's lectures for youth, how about taking to those who have already failed, how do you climb out of the pit as opposed to how to avoid the pit "advice for youth". or if once you reach my point, there is no hope anymore. the world doe snot care when you get old and fail in life, I am "bad" now for giving up on life. ...oh well. after 54 years, can't do it anymore. It was all a waste of time.
This man changed my life in ways I could never repay. I went from a homeless, jobless man-child, blaming everything on everyone. Came across his lectures, and it changed everything. Then combine Dr Peterson with David Goggins and life is now something I never imagined. I work with horses and children who can't attend mainstream school. Have helped countless people to better their own lives and the future is beyond bright its blinding. Thank you Chris and the team for what you do too. Some of your podcasts have helped in dark times or when the world doesn't make sense. Keep up the great work 🙏
@dollasignsleeze210 thank you for existing and fir posting this comment. May it reach people before they fall for this scam. It is a scam, this comment was made by a bot and upvoted by other bots. My theory is that the publisher is probably using those bots to sell his merch. Bots are dirt f..king cheap and psychopathes will use them to their short term gains, i ducking hate psychopathes, no shame, no pride, nothing to be proud of, just a demon lying and playing schemes in a human form.
As an 18 yr old woman from a small, Orthodox Christian Balkan country, Jordan Peterson helped me immensely. I find myself agreeing with almost everything that this man says and he is truly a national treasure. He's the kind of person that i hope my future son will be like. God bless this man.☦
That is a wholesome aspiration to have for your future son. Surely he can learn more than a thing or two from this man. Out of curiosity, do you happen to be from Romania? That's where my thoughts have led me given your comment haha.
@@c_parker Thank you!! I am from Serbia actually, but Romanians and Serbs(for the most part) are like brothers and sisters, so you aren't far off at all!
“How does your cynicism let you off the hook? How does your cynicism justify your desire to avoid necessary responsibility and pursue your own short term hedonic gains?” I feel personally attacked
I was lucky to have discovered this in my own life (my own first steps toward wisdom) a few years before I discovered Peterson… so the first time I heard him express this notion my fist went up over my head and I yelled “yes!!!” before I even knew what I was doing.
I met Mr. Peterson at the Edmonton, Alberta, VIP Meet and Greet earlier this year. He made every single person he met feel like they were the only person in the room. I can't exactly explain it, but he has the "it factor". There was just a genuineness and humility to him that would be nearly impossible to fake. Jordan cares. That's the only way to say it. He cares.
@@YourunitYour response is really troubling. If I were you, I'd take a deep look inside myself and see where a response like this comes from. Because if it's projection you might be in distress.
2018 was my annus horribilus. I was constantly gaslighted, denegrated, disrespected, talked about. You name it. This was at my job. I survived because I cried out to Jesus to help me and he did. I’ve since been shown that many of the things that were done to me was due to spite and jealousy. If you get far enough past a horrible time in your life you will see how the Lord was working to help you the entire time.

Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way) don't help either. Thank you very much for your time. First of all, if you have any questions regarding Islam and yourself, just open the Quran randomly, and you will find the answer in front of you, like a miracle and a sign from God.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).. God said : Say, “We believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. And to Him, we surrender.” (2:136 / Translated by Community) Salam (Peace) -----------------
Hey Michael, in spanish I like to say "no hay mal que dure mil años, ni mal que por bien no venga", meaning "nothing bad lasts a lifetime, and there's nothing bad that happens that doesnt have something better following it", something along those lines. Keep going strong 💪🏼
Hes strength is acting like a good man but after the TRUST is stablished , he injwct the AGENDA, as he recently suggested a DIGITAL ID "solution" to online platforms, the same exact WEF digital slavery that he opposed all the time. He himself said hes supported by SOME LONDON BILLIONAIRES in an interview, coincidentally the city of banking cartel
12 rules for life was one of the best books i ever read in my entire life. i just watched 10 minutes and i know this is going to be a very good reflecting 3 hours with Jordan Peterson. Whenever I hear him talking or reading his books i feel like there is a man who understands me and gives me guidance
It make you think 😁I mean many things that Doctor is talking about and very interesting things and subjects and opinions of his life point of views and the world from his perspective and personal experiences and he’s intelligent and knowledge very honest

Jordan Peterson might be the greatest preacher of the Gospel alive today. And the way he does it, without using the worn out language of religion, is amazing.
Hmmm, maybe but he misses the full embrace of Jesus Christ. How through his sacrifice we have peace with God. Without Jesus Christ, we are separate from God no matter how righteous we are. Our righteousnesses are as filthy rags, we can never achieve the holiness we need to be welcomed into heaven. That’s why the good news in JESUS!
I love him, but he doesn't preach the Gospel. He talks about the importance of the Biblical stories and their psychological meanings, but I doubt he fully understand the Gospel, and so he doesn't try to preach it, as you suggest. And that's okay. Others can do that.
Na. If you go to the question 16:44 , that’s what the gospel is. If we can’t achieve our ideal, it’s because of our shortcoming. So the answer is grace, not lowering of your ideals.
@@chriswagner3703 You just gave a completely psychological explanation. Like I said, that's not the Gospel, it's just a psychological explanation of the text, not spiritual understanding. The Gospel wasn't written for this, despite it having some value
Tf, I hope that’s not how you actually assume people are intelligent. You need to listen to the actual answers. There are a lot of quacks out there who sure think hard about their answers all the time lmao
@@ssgg23 We definitely know, that you're not particularly intelligent, if his comment is too complex for you and you'd need him to be even more specific
Dr. Peterson saved my life with his words, I’m a better person now because of this person, I’m not lying anymore…I stopped creating a hell for myself and for the people around me…God bless him, he is a gift to this world 🌎 I think he is under appreciated because of jealous sick people who can not tolerate seeing his success, wish Dr. Peterson health and prosperity 🧠🧠❤️❤️
Three hours is not nearly enough time to hear even a fraction of the wisdom this man freely shares. I would love to see you have him back again after he's done book touring. Thank you for another great video and for asking some incredible questions!
I credit Jordan Peterson with helping me to grow up, stop wasting my time with meaningless dating without any serious commitment. I grew up a lot after reading his book and listening to his lectures, and found the love of my life and married her. It is largely thanks to him that I continue to seek personal growth from great podcasts like modern wisdom.
@@xbabyblue74x1 I read his most famous book, "12 rules for life" and I've also read "12 more rules". I also became a subscriber to the daily wire where he hosts an extended version of his podcast- he has really great discussions on his podcast but honestly, you can just watch them for free on UA-cam.
How was your feel if you were to get divorced destroying your mental health, and 5 to 10 years of everything you've worked for.. would it be worth it then? Many men who have been through the divorce machine would say no.
@@xbabyblue74x1 Probably referring to 12 Rules for Life as it does help you put yourself together. Maps of Meaning, 12 Rules for Life, Beyond Order are the most referenced books of Jordan's.
One of the best podcasts I've ever listened to. Jordan is a gift to humanity. “If you faced everything that was put in front of you, who would you be? Do you have a better bet than facing it?”
I just recently began watching your podcasts, and they have already begun to change my life. I don't have great parental figures in my life, so I find myself lost on my own path in this world with nobody to ask these deeper questions to. To hear the guests talk about their interpretations of the world really broaden my scope on how to understand different factions of life. Especially this episode; Mr Peterson truly does have a massive amount of wisdom that I am determined to dig through now. Thanks for your efforts with this podcast, and hello to everyone who is watching this with me.
This makes me a little choked up. The last time Dr. Peterson was on, he was still very ill and fragile. He was in a lot of pain, and it showed in his eyes. He was a melody in a plaintive, sorrowful minor key. Now, he is a melody in a triumphal major key of restoration of health and strength and enjoyment of life. Thank God for it again and again.
I haven't listened to him in a while. In the last week I've seen him here and on Diary of a CEO and holy heck. He is so, so back. Maybe even stronger than before. It seems like he's done some work and managed to lighten the personal burden of his fame by recognising that he is a conduit for ideas rather than being responsible for every idea. Just loving this new energy.
@AFringedGentian :) he has his own yt channel, sooooo valuable :), he is still in lots of pain tho, he mentions that (very little), he is a true gem since he cares, and that is often missing, what a wisdom & inspiration he brings, from Belgium
Dr. Peterson is somebody whose work, intellect and overall contributions to the world are of such a massive, indescribable value I can’t even put it into words. So much respect and thanks to him and Chris!
I've made it my hobby to rewatch these podcasts over and over because they are so educational. I'm always a better person at the end of a new podcast than I was at the last
Jordan is one of the few great thinkers of our time, and its unfortunate the left paints him as a negative force, he is such a positive figure for so many people including me
Growing up in Nigeria and moving to Australia was one of the most life changing experiences for me. It really helped me appreciate how easy my life is here. When Jordan Peteraon go onto the scene in 2017, his message about overcoming adversity and not blaming the world really inspired me. I am ashamed he gets so much flack for being so honest and forthright. I wish him every success and peace. God bless him.
Just wondering, have you ever thought about returning your skills back to The country you have came from to help people out and make your country better? Which country are you from and what do you do now in Africa, and does it make you happy! :D dm :).
I’m a combat veteran with childhood trauma & I first heard of Jordan almost 7 years ago by another military veteran buddy. You Sir have helped me through my journey and times it was so hard to live on, I revisit your videos from Time to time and you’re like the dad that I never had
7 yrs ago, becoming a psychiatric survivor. In the 7th. year Jordan’s message reaches life’s essential recovery from a Global Soldiers Disease. It seems to be the appropriate yr. for Dr. Peterson‘s power reaching out breaking the screens metaphorically in homes held by the wars spiritual disease. At this point, Families in general, are still attached the the continuation of its sickness. His voice is capable of Great change, especially when people suddenly realize what matters the most in life. And what no longer matters is in the attachment to such toxic securities. In this case, Society is due for real recovery to investment of the heart, & no longer to what destroys it.
Me too!! 7 years ago. Combat veteran of another variety. Should have died. Dr Peterson saved me. With the truth. ❤ Your comment jump started my heart ❤️ thank you
Huge respect for the interviewer!! First 10 seconds made J.P feel comfortable with an intellectual question, but body language, and tone were also KEY to gold nugget of an interview 💥 Beautifully played
This was a fantastic discussion. As a 49 year old Marine veteran, who is still eager to learn and grow as a human being, I have learned so much from both of these wise men just now. Thank you UA-cam for giving the common person a platform to receive wisdom so precious to humanity for FREE! I can only hope open AI can deliver such a gift to humanity.
Do not discount the wisdom that comes from being a 49 year old Marine veteran. Peterson is a bit of a wordsmith, but there are other, better teachers. The ancients have deeper better answers.
12:45 this happened to me. At 21yo I was killing it in life. I had three gf, was a club promoter making good money, working out everyday, going to college. Then my dad got sick and my mom got sick to the point they couldn’t work. I left school, got a job that paid more and helped them survive until my father passed away in 2015. My mom was able to get government help. After my dad passed. I was destroyed, I became depressed, fat and unmotivated. Took me having a health scare to wake me the fuck up! I’m up and wide awake again! And going after it everyday. Dropped 80lbs pounds and getting stronger as well. Eating healthier as well, just had a check up and all test came back good! Started down the road to getting into cyber security something I always wanted to work in. Currently consuming as much as I can to catch up in what I don’t know. Anyone reading this I would say get after it! Life is a beautiful thing to experience for yourself.
I once had a sales job and I viewed the entire experience as a dry bones experience of working harder than everyone else, beating myself to death fighting for results, and failing while others were goofing around enjoying life and getting much better results than I. Well, after the season was over and I quit, I began to look at, why? So I learned that nothing can be accomplished from the level of left brain trying, no matter how hard you try! Relaxing, getting in the flow, using your perception, expressing care and enjoyment, employing all levels of your being, not just your linear brain alone! I learned!
I stumbled upon a clip of the Cathy Newman interview at the beginning of 2018, it led me to the Biblical Series, from there to Maps of Meaning. I was cynical and lost. Fast-forward to today: I am making the final preparations for my wedding day tomorrow(!). I'm marrying a great woman, who's almost 3 months pregnant with our child. What a journey it has been, and this is just the start! I owe this man for showing me the way. Belief is indeed wiser than cynicism.
as a non english native speaker i had quite a difficult time going through both of his most famous books, as well as through of many of his interviews, including this one. It doesn't matter how difficult at first, there always comes a time when chills run down your back listening to this man
I don’t know if it’s good or bad that you are forced to slow down. Reading philosophical ideas too quickly are worse than not reading them. Great job taking up the challenge.
I'm not a native speaker too... and I actually had problems reading his books even tho I read the translated version in my mother tongue.... I have to expand my vocabulary circle in both English and my mother tongue 😭
The image of JP dancing tho… it won’t leave the corridors of my memory lol. Love this guy, and never tire of hearing his voice. Blessings to you JP - for ever and a day🙏🏾.
Even though there are major things I disagree with him about, Peterson is very knowledgeable about psychology and has much to offer in this domain. I would really like to sit down and have an in depth conversation about the areas where we disagree to see if I’m wrong. So far, he hasn’t said anything publicly that’s persuasive. This conversation about cynicism and development is highly valuable and I’m grateful for his insights. Thank you.
Our internet dad! Thanks a lot! Now I'm a license professional teacher! TELL the TRUTH and BEAR your CROSS! Thanks for re-echoing these messages to the people across the world!
5 days into my social media detox. 5 days into my mental health journey and healing journey. 5 days in my journey to become a new version of myself I come across this masterpiece of an interview. WOW just WOW. I’m 24 and I feel like I’ve missed out on so much. Better late than never. Hoping this comment keeps me returning back to this video. I’ve written so many notes.
Being able to listen to a person who's so articulate, speaking about deepest things in life is a one thing, but seeing in front of your eyes how things he lays out manifest itself it's whole new level! I hope more people in the world could hear his message ❤️🔥
Dr Peterson is a brilliant man and physician. He has helped restore my faith in doctors. I am LGBT and I am not offended at all by some of his other content our people have to be protected from a medical industrial complex that wants to profit from their confusion and trauma. He is excellence and I would love to have some sessions with him despite having learned to be my own physician. Brilliant he truly is! Such courage and tenacity!
Hello. Why is gay allied to trans? If you're not gay (because you're trans), why is it sort of the same? If you're now a woman you are not gay, surely.
Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way) don't help either. Thank you very much for your time. First of all, if you have any questions regarding Islam and yourself, just open the Quran randomly, and you will find the answer in front of you, like a miracle and a sign from God.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).. God said : Say, “We believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. And to Him, we surrender.” (2:136 / Translated by Community) Salam (Peace) -----------------
This is by far the best conversation I’ve listened to in 2024. Thank you both for a wonderful opportunity to “attend to my own ignorance” once again. Always, always, always a pleasure. I’m 42 and have just purchased tickets to my very first anything concert, lecture, show of any type. Dr. Peterson I can’t wait to see you in Phoenix in a few days. I’ve listened to you and you have helped me so much over the years I feel as though my presence and contribution to your live paid event is my opportunity to show you my gratitude. I wish so much that I could have afforded to meet you and thank you in person but we do what we are able. I know it will be a wonderful and worthy first time. I hope In your “stalk” we meet each other’s gaze and acknowledge our presence and gratitude.
3.5hrs later and I just want to start it over and watch again until its memorized. Feels like water to my soul in a parched land. So thankful to finally have found sanity after "wandering through the desert" through my 20s (I'm 29).
So glad for you. I was adopted. My parents and family did love me. I’m sure. Yet I’ve always been alone & felt misplaced, no home for me. Always lonely. I have to listen hard to his words, but I pray God will give me the wisdom & insight to understand. Some makes sense, but so much info I can see that’s valid. I’m 67 & so tired of the desert that’s most of my life. I know ‘y Savior Jesus loves me & im not truly alone. Yet it’s empty. I don’t know where I belong
@@christinawarrington3192 I'm sending you love. People were made to belong in a family. When that bond is broken, life always feels differently than it was designed to and suffering ensues. That's not your fault... my broken family is also the reason I ended up confused and without anchoring for so long, though I thought it was because I was so "open minded". It was because I was designed to be safe and secure inside the bond of a tribe and a two parent household, at least (possibly with many generations!). It's a tragedy for every person who doesn't get to experience God's love directly through their parents, laying the foundation of security for their whole lifetime. But I truly believe God is working good out of evil and redeeming all things broken or warped, when we surrender our lives to the "redeemer." I can't fix the world, but through me, I can watch the force of ultimate Love repair the unrepairable. Maybe not for us, but for our children, and our children's children, and our neighbors, and the people we disagree with. His love is so much bigger than us and our lives, He can create meaning out of what feels senseless. He has not forgotten you; you belong to the creator of the universe, Christina!
He’s the only intellectual I’ve heard that understands people who are completely mentally shut down…and how to get back up - using the tiniest of baby steps.
One single thing that makes this man great is the care and caution with which he chooses his words. Those sudden pauses in the course of a conversation speak volumes.
There are more lovers than haters of JP. But I thank him for making me see the value of truth and power of it while speaking it. I cured my lifelong anxiety by being truthful ALL THE TIME.
I came across Jordan when I was in a very dark place , ( I believe that the universe led me to him ) and I've listened to him on many podcasts , whilst walking dogs , his words have helped me move slowly and incrementally forwards and towards hope , thank you Jordan , you have helped me move out of that dark place , I now go to dance classes , working and connecting with my family in Australia ( I was adopted at birth ) and making my bed !! ❤❤❤❤ ❤️
I came across him under similar circumstances. And Caroline, I want to encourage you with this: it wasn’t the Universe that brought you here. It wasn’t an ambiguous, disembodied deity. No, it was a personal, incarnate God who is reaching out to you. I was the very real Jesus. Far be it from me to insist on what you should do, but I’d encourage you to visit your local Catholic Church and speak with a priest. I was fiercely anti-Catholic for most of my life. I began to delve deeper into their theology and philosophy and all of my misconceptions melted away. Jesus wants all of us to join his holy church and partake of his body and blood every week. He wants to walk with you through every area of your life. Come join into a relationship with God. He’s reaching out to you. He’s personal and interested in you. Forgive me for being so forthcoming. I suppose it’s my bombastic Americana showing. Blessings, Alex
What Dr. Jordan Peterson taught me is to own your shadows/darkness/flaws/mistakes/uneasy truths. Freaking own it. He is been telling us to tell truths for our own's sakes. That is how you get tough, and it can counter act the super sensitive part of ourselves that get hurt too easily. I have watched his lectures/interviews for I think 3 years now, that lesson is the most valuable lesson I will bring into my own grave. Jung and him is part of top list people I will be thankful for forever.
It’s a blessing to have come across this as a woman never taken a Philosophy class but have sat alone asking myself questions and looking within wondering why do I think this way and do not fit in the world. When asked what I fear by my peers I’ve said I fear the untrue. I’ve now spent hours listening to Jordan feeling validated in my personal thoughts I’ve not spoken to anyone. Cannot describe how I feel and where the lonely weight has gone. Thank you!!!
Monkette mode? Nun mode? Not sure what the correct politically-incorrect moniker should be appropriate. HA! Hope it's funny anyway. Pithy might be better, IDK. Either way, happy for you and welcome aboard.
Try listening to his personality and maps of meaning course lectures. They’re great. I’ve listened to them all (in the car) and might go through them again!
I found JP while trapped in my deepest darkest pit also. I'm also a woman and never understood the criticism he gets about "targeting young men." I've never thought he was speaking to a particular gender or age group. Wisdom is wisdom. That's it!

I thank Jordan for enhancing my English. It isn't my mother tongue and I listen all the podcasts of all creators in English and barely find the difficulty to understand the message until I step on Jordan speaking. I love it how I'm not only learning about the principles of decent living but also the new words I only knew in Polish before.tank you for never going the easy pathway with us listeners Jordan.
First 3 minutes are pure gold, so incredibly valuable for someone very close to taking a dark path. Jordan Peterson knows, you can see it in his face and persona, he has a certain responsibility, that he has selflessly placed on himself, to explain human phycologicaly for the general man and woman. I cant even imagine how many people he has helped by doing these videos. The world can be dark, when retreating, to protect yourself based on past experiences, he shows another option is possible.
I think he knows so well and it actually eats him up. He feels extreme pressure to do the right thing... For himself, his family, and his followers; in that order. I feel like he just need to be told that "he is enough". I feel so much pain for him and I hope he knows that he has influenced countless people for the good. You can tell fame has seriously affected his life and I hope he continues what he does; as long as he is emotionally capable.
This is the closest you can get to reality in a world full of misleadings and the truth became hated and unwanted. I appreciate every word as it definitely gave me hope and encouragement.
This man is a gift to society. A voice to cut right through the vicissitudes of life, and shine a light on the correct path to get through them. Amazing individual.
Absolutely a great podcast. A must listen. I’ve been raised a Christian, but I’ve had my doubts at times. JP’s explanations have certainly pushed me deeper into my faith. He is a positive light for this world. And Chris, great job in showing us that.
I hope and pray that 1 day I will be As articulant as him. Everything he says resignates with my life.Everything he says feels true. Jordan Peterson is amazing.
This man's a legend in his own time and rightly so. Dr. Peterson has helped me to understand my husband's struggles better along with his needs.The information he's provided has helped me to be a better person, wife, and mother. I was the absent one in our marriage at times and I am now so wonderfully present. It pains me to think how much I neglected my husband emotionally off and on over the years. I truly enjoy my husband and we've chased each other for 24 years straight. Lol. However, now the difficult days are much better and I am more attentive. I pray we have many more years of new material from Dr. Peterson and his beautiful family.
I listen to Jordan Peterson every day. His lessons on leading a successful life are jaw-dropingly eye-poppingly easy to follow and simple to understand. I owe this man more than I could repay for the vast improvement in my outlook on life. Many, many thanks JP 👍
I could listen to this man for hours and hours and still not be satisfied with with the limited amount of wisdom that I could gather from him. JP is a treasure and an absolute delight to listen to. Even after all his fame, I still feel that he his underrated. Truly one of the greatest thinkers of our time and my idol.
Me to. I do. I learn something from him everyday... this darkness that invades is too much to bear but jordan gets me through. Like he's been there his wisdom addresses so much in today society. His thoughts are my thoughts.
I am always so grateful to be alive in the same time period as Jordan Peterson. He is truly a gem in mind and soul. I walk away from his podcasts with deeper knowledge and wisdom and a restored faith in humanity. Thank you both for this talk. I learned a lot and will continue to return for this wisdom.
Chris , We need people like you, Jordan to tour Africa. I am Nigerian and I can say for a fact that we suffer from a mentality deficit epidemic. I don't have the wealth of influence and financial capability to bring this caliber of people but I know, for a fact that hearing you guys talk like this overtime, has helped shape my mind better and I know it will help shape many others too. Thank you for existing and for doing what you do, Chris
I'm so glad you share this view. I'm Nigerian as well and I can say for sure that this Dr has changed my mind. Something draws on my inside when I listen to him. I'm starting nurture the thought of a podcast too.
Some things he says are just so deeply true, it feels amazing to hear it out loud, and to hear it condensed into a simple sentence. True treasure of humanity, and a real tragedy that he gets smeared by much of our society's top layer.
Yeah- the “top layer” is comprised of bottom feeders who want the population to be immoral , debauched, depressed , demoralized , thereby making people easy to manipulate and control.
Even though I sometimes don't completely agree with some of the points Jordan Peterson makes, I have to admit that he also says a lot of important things. When it comes to psychology, his advice has been extremely helpful in my life. I started watching his videos 5 years ago and I can safely say that he is a very smart person who wants good for others. This interview proved it again. I can recommend him to everyone.
Easily going through the toughest year I’ve had in my 24 years of life. Conversations like these take me away from it all. Jordan helped me so much through the years. I don’t know where I would be right now without his endless pool of knowledge and advice. Thank you guys both for opening my mind in the best way from time to time. Much love
@lukecrawford8329 Right. The world isn’t fair and never will be. Hey, you should use periods in your sentences because your comment was very hard to read
This talk was FILLED with so much value! Every 5 minutes has me reflecting and recognizing subject points as they pertain to my life. Gotta watch every second of this, thanks for the post.
I needed this talk right now so badly. I notice myself becoming resentful and cynical with life without wanting to, all because my life has not turned out how I envisioned and worked hard to accomplish. This is the point where I just need to keep on working hard because reality might be that I am not the ultimate ideal but I can scale it down to where I can get as closest as I can. Thank you for this interview.
Learning to be grateful for what you do have is a blessing. It will give you a sense of peace. It doesn’t mean you stop trying. It just means appreciating what’s around you right now instead of always looking into the future.
Jordan is helping me face some of the most problematic points within myself. I’m 35 and trying desperately to find my path. My own mind has not been kind since I was a child, let alone being 35. He’s definitely helping me navigate myself and finding the cure to my own self disdain. I’ve got a ways to go, but at least it’s a direction.
Dr. Peterson has single-handedly taken me from a place of dread and misery to a hopeful place. Now I am active, healthy, working on something that matters and have the healthiest relationship I've ever had with family. In my world, any negativity, disdain and criticism of the man is nullified.
This podcast slapped me in the face and brought me to some deep state of revaluating all life. I mean, he is an example of mature, realistic, intellectual and wise man, who are really spiritual, not in a sweet delusive way, but in Reality. He demolishes illusions by his speech! Thank you for this Podcast.
This is so seminal and culturally important. Damn near every sentence is quotable, it’s been taking so long to get through it because I’m running it back like ‘He said what?!’ Great conversation, thanks for the contribution to the culture here
Yep, it's time for a Peterson lecturing. I need that talking to. Time to hit play and have my BS way of thinking recalibrated for the new year. Jp is the man!
Jordan Peterson was like a father for me I followed him maybe 7 years ago, listened to all the UA-cam videos bought his book and gifted his book advice to everybody I know to go read it he was the guidance I needed in my life one of my dreams was to have conversations with him and I will always be grateful for he did to my life and how he made me who I am but the day he said give them hell that moment destroyed the image and the high estime I have of him ! I hope no one experiences hell ! everybody is having a fight you don't know about. Be kind , always. I wish you only the best good luck with this hard word 😢
I have seen his lectures live twice. Met him once. He has changed my life. I had no idea how much I needed his wisdom and knowledge. He speaks so much truth he made many enemies. Which is par for the course.
My life changed forever when I was introduced to Jordan Peterson. ❤ Been on a constant path of growth for a whole year now. Read all 24 Rules For Life. Now I need to read Maps of Meaning!
Jordan Peterson is timeless! His wisdom and advice can be for anyone in any situation or circumstance. Not many people can speak in such a way where that is the case.
I am in a phase in my life where I am seeking a part of me that has always been there, but one that I have ignored due to laziness. I have this part of me that wants knowledge because I want to understand myself more than I think I do. There are times where I am arrogant because I have a pretty good life, but I know deep down in my soul that there is something else I need. I hope I find it in studying the words of Jordan Peterson and other men and women like him.
So many people think that influential figures such as Peterson must be absolutely perfect and make no mistakes, or else they are a fraud/hack/someone to constantly criticize. He's human just like us all, and all humans fail. It's our choice to see the good and to show grace towards others. That doesn't mean you must agree with or believe everything they say, but to at a minimum we should seek truth and positivity in the message. Thanks for all your hard work Chris, you're doing good work on a platform so full of negativity🙏
Well said, Struggler. There’s hundreds and possibly over a thousand hours of Peterson content readily available so naturally he’s going to say something that draws criticism from some corner of the planet. They take one small sample and demonize him as a whole. If that same attitude is applied towards everyone, themselves included, then we’re all frauds/hacks/failures. Doesn’t seem like a useful outlook. Some compassion is certainly in order.
If you take tiny steps toward improvement infact they can be so tiny that they are shameful and you have to be aware of that and become disciplined in doing those, But once you get the ball rolling it will speed up extraordinary rapidly! - LOVE THIS!
I read the Peterson books, they changed everything for me. Everything is basically perfect in my life now from watching these channels. Thank you for the amazing content!
Thanks Jordan. Reminds me of “Mark. 8 [36] For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” & “the truth shall set you free”. Thank you Jesus ❤

Thanks for this one Chris. Jordan is always a treasure trove of insight and wisdom. You are too. Don't let me sell you short.
@@microfarming8583 Why because he works for Daily Wire? Doesn't take away with almost everything he says is worthwhile. If he's controlled opposition he is anti-authoritarian, which is what side we're all on.
Dougla Murray ought debate Dave Smith. If Murray is so right in his Palestine/Isreal assertions, he ought be able to stand for them. I won't hold my breath.
I don't care what anyone says about Dr. Peterson (and a few others), he made me face the truth of myself and how pathetic I was. Always tell the truth even if it hurts you to your bones. I overcome so much because of it but I got more to do.
Update (added Nov 9, 2024) - I posted a video update about my comment from Nov 28 2023, it's also an apology for failing to deliver what I intended.
Update (added Oct 27, 2024) - The essay turned into a narrative on Canadian Identity tied to my identity. Since I posted that comment I became a standup comic, went viral on Instagram and still currently jobless because the Canadian tech economy sucks. I am a health tech professional, out of work, trying to get by with freelancing. I am going to post a video about my journey and give an update on the book. I think the comment I posted last year became a call to adventure to face myself even more and I learned more about myself than I when I posted it last year.
Update (added on Tuesday Nov 28, 2023 at 8:40 am EST) - Thank you so much for all your positive comments. I was overwhelmed, truly. Thank you Chris for highlighting as well. This outpouring has inspired me to be more open about a project I am working on because I am scared to release it... I am a Canadian and I am creating a video essay to take down Trudeau. I don't support any political party but I also don't support tyrannical narcissists either. We're going to make Trudeau face himself like I had to, we're going to make himself look in the mirror. We're going to teach the world how to make a positive difference. There are too many narcissists in power now, enough is enough.
I feel you. You are a good man, let's keep growing, there's still much to do 💪🏼
He has changed millions of our lives for the better. Speak the truth, obviously, but we lie to ourselves more than we want to admit.
💪🏼💙
Glad that we actually get to hear how Doc.Thinks n Talks aren't we Lucky in The USA ❤
There's a little here an there that just hits your mine about things we might have really though of and what he teaches young men is awesome ! Thanks
concur my friend, I am acting on and looking for opportunities to my commitment to no lies and truthful actions in my life and recovery journey, thank you Dr. P
Almost 3,5hs, I´ve cleaned my apartment, washed the dishes, made dinner, ate, got emotional, cried, got enthusiastic, and motivated, then humbled at the end by the humility of jordans advice on how to be gratefull....This has been just wonderfull. Thank you both very much,
Very well done, enjoy the new clean energy you've created for yourself and your home
agreed, congrats! its good to live by 2 rules; live in wonder, and thankfull; and all experience in truth and wisdom will be given..nb..
Yes. With what you mentioned, you have lots to be grateful for. People often don't recognize the blessings they take for granted....
Lucky for you he has many podcasts available on the internet ;)
I couldn't get pat the whole "morally obligated to give it my best". Sorry, I'm already beaten down and cynical in life, I'm old now and I have given up. I'm tired of Jordan's lectures for youth, how about taking to those who have already failed, how do you climb out of the pit as opposed to how to avoid the pit "advice for youth". or if once you reach my point, there is no hope anymore. the world doe snot care when you get old and fail in life, I am "bad" now for giving up on life. ...oh well. after 54 years, can't do it anymore. It was all a waste of time.
This man changed my life in ways I could never repay. I went from a homeless, jobless man-child, blaming everything on everyone. Came across his lectures, and it changed everything. Then combine Dr Peterson with David Goggins and life is now something I never imagined. I work with horses and children who can't attend mainstream school. Have helped countless people to better their own lives and the future is beyond bright its blinding.
Thank you Chris and the team for what you do too. Some of your podcasts have helped in dark times or when the world doesn't make sense. Keep up the great work 🙏

As an 18 yr old woman from a small, Orthodox Christian Balkan country, Jordan Peterson helped me immensely. I find myself agreeing with almost everything that this man says and he is truly a national treasure. He's the kind of person that i hope my future son will be like. God bless this man.☦
That is a wholesome aspiration to have for your future son. Surely he can learn more than a thing or two from this man.
Out of curiosity, do you happen to be from Romania? That's where my thoughts have led me given your comment haha.

Worthy of Oscar Wilde or Mark Twain. :)
“How does your cynicism let you off the hook? How does your cynicism justify your desire to avoid necessary responsibility and pursue your own short term hedonic gains?” I feel personally attacked
The interview was 3 hrs long and he pinned you in the first 4 minutes ? Wow, you're easy.
I was lucky to have discovered this in my own life (my own first steps toward wisdom) a few years before I discovered Peterson… so the first time I heard him express this notion my fist went up over my head and I yelled “yes!!!” before I even knew what I was doing.
except Chris did not describe a cynic what so ever and JP did not correct him on his incorrect interpretation on it, I wonder why
I met Mr. Peterson at the Edmonton, Alberta, VIP Meet and Greet earlier this year. He made every single person he met feel like they were the only person in the room. I can't exactly explain it, but he has the "it factor". There was just a genuineness and humility to him that would be nearly impossible to fake.
Jordan cares. That's the only way to say it. He cares.
I had the exactly same experience in Tallin

2018 was my annus horribilus. I was constantly gaslighted, denegrated, disrespected, talked about. You name it. This was at my job. I survived because I cried out to Jesus to help me and he did. I’ve since been shown that many of the things that were done to me was due to spite and jealousy. If you get far enough past a horrible time in your life you will see how the Lord was working to help you the entire time.

Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way) don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
First of all, if you have any questions regarding Islam and yourself, just open the Quran randomly, and you will find the answer in front of you, like a miracle and a sign from God.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..
God said : Say, “We believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. And to Him, we surrender.”

Only one way to go from here then. Find all the strenght you can and never stop pushing 🤘
Jordan has spoke the perfect definition for work. “Work is the sacrifice, in the present, for the future.“
The strength of Dr. Peterson is him being okay with being vulnerable and honest without the fear of what people think of him.
Yes, because he fears what the consequences will be if he’s anything but what he is. A fine example to follow
@lukecrawford8329What’s with the same comment repeatedly? Nobody is going to reply to you, so I figured I would humor you. 😏
He has conquered the fear of criticism, and probably more of the other 5 ghosts of fear
Nice
Hes strength is acting like a good man but after the TRUST is stablished , he injwct the AGENDA, as he recently suggested a DIGITAL ID "solution" to online platforms, the same exact WEF digital slavery that he opposed all the time.
He himself said hes supported by SOME LONDON BILLIONAIRES in an interview, coincidentally the city of banking cartel
This is one of the best conversations I have heard in the 71 years on my path to Goodness & God. Much appreciated!
Only it isn't. It's not a conversation. It's a collection of monologues. Chris is not up to the task to counter Peterson's arguments.
Love it
12 rules for life was one of the best books i ever read in my entire life. i just watched 10 minutes and i know this is going to be a very good reflecting 3 hours with Jordan Peterson. Whenever I hear him talking or reading his books i feel like there is a man who understands me and gives me guidance
You could watch this a hundred times. and still learn.
It's 3 hours long.

Jordan Peterson might be the greatest preacher of the Gospel alive today. And the way he does it, without using the worn out language of religion, is amazing.
Hmmm, maybe but he misses the full embrace of Jesus Christ. How through his sacrifice we have peace with God. Without Jesus Christ, we are separate from God no matter how righteous we are. Our righteousnesses are as filthy rags, we can never achieve the holiness we need to be welcomed into heaven. That’s why the good news in JESUS!
Same with Kanye
I love him, but he doesn't preach the Gospel. He talks about the importance of the Biblical stories and their psychological meanings, but I doubt he fully understand the Gospel, and so he doesn't try to preach it, as you suggest. And that's okay. Others can do that.
Na. If you go to the question 16:44 , that’s what the gospel is. If we can’t achieve our ideal, it’s because of our shortcoming. So the answer is grace, not lowering of your ideals.
@@chriswagner3703 You just gave a completely psychological explanation. Like I said, that's not the Gospel, it's just a psychological explanation of the text, not spiritual understanding. The Gospel wasn't written for this, despite it having some value
You know someone is brilliantly intelligent, when they take 10 seconds to formulate their reply to a question. Dr Peterson is next level.

I just recently began watching your podcasts, and they have already begun to change my life. I don't have great parental figures in my life, so I find myself lost on my own path in this world with nobody to ask these deeper questions to. To hear the guests talk about their interpretations of the world really broaden my scope on how to understand different factions of life. Especially this episode; Mr Peterson truly does have a massive amount of wisdom that I am determined to dig through now. Thanks for your efforts with this podcast, and hello to everyone who is watching this with me.
I’ve been to 3 Jordan Peterson conferences, and I wore a 3 pc suit each time. Best experience I’ve had.
This makes me a little choked up.
The last time Dr. Peterson was on, he was still very ill and fragile. He was in a lot of pain, and it showed in his eyes. He was a melody in a plaintive, sorrowful minor key. Now, he is a melody in a triumphal major key of restoration of health and strength and enjoyment of life. Thank God for it again and again.
Well said.
I haven't listened to him in a while. In the last week I've seen him here and on Diary of a CEO and holy heck. He is so, so back. Maybe even stronger than before. It seems like he's done some work and managed to lighten the personal burden of his fame by recognising that he is a conduit for ideas rather than being responsible for every idea. Just loving this new energy.
@@doetodeerhis latest with Dr. Oz is some of his very best work- it’s so beautiful. He is really truly back.

Dr. Peterson is somebody whose work, intellect and overall contributions to the world are of such a massive, indescribable value I can’t even put it into words.
So much respect and thanks to him and Chris!

It seems to be the appropriate yr. for Dr. Peterson‘s power reaching out breaking the screens metaphorically in homes held by the wars spiritual disease. At this point, Families in general, are still attached the the continuation of its sickness. His voice is capable of Great change, especially when people suddenly realize what matters the most in life. And what no longer matters is in the attachment to such toxic securities. In this case, Society is due for real recovery to investment of the heart, & no longer to what destroys it.
Beautiful! So happy for you and your journey and thank you for your service to our Country.❤
Me too!! 7 years ago. Combat veteran of another variety. Should have died. Dr Peterson saved me. With the truth. ❤
Your comment jump started my heart ❤️ thank you
Just yesterday I described Peterson with the same words. I have deep respect for this man without ever meeting him. Glad to hear you got better. 🤝
Huge respect for the interviewer!!
First 10 seconds made J.P feel comfortable with an intellectual question, but body language, and tone were also KEY to gold nugget of an interview 💥
Beautifully played
Had I not found him I would've been dead by now.......thank you Dr. Peterson for being a guide as a well as father figure of my life.
i salute you stay strong
This was a fantastic discussion. As a 49 year old Marine veteran, who is still eager to learn and grow as a human being, I have learned so much from both of these wise men just now. Thank you UA-cam for giving the common person a platform to receive wisdom so precious to humanity for FREE! I can only hope open AI can deliver such a gift to humanity.
I feel the exact same way. I`m very much older than you and I enjoy listening to Prof. Peterson so very much, cz I learn a little bit every time.
I can only hope that I’m not the only one sincerely thanking you for your service in the Marine Corps. 🪖⚓️
Thank you for your service. You're our Hero. God Bless You and may you continue to make progress and be as happy as ever! Merry Christmas!!!
Do not discount the wisdom that comes from being a 49 year old Marine veteran. Peterson is a bit of a wordsmith, but there are other, better teachers. The ancients have deeper better answers.
12:45 this happened to me. At 21yo I was killing it in life. I had three gf, was a club promoter making good money, working out everyday, going to college. Then my dad got sick and my mom got sick to the point they couldn’t work. I left school, got a job that paid more and helped them survive until my father passed away in 2015. My mom was able to get government help. After my dad passed. I was destroyed, I became depressed, fat and unmotivated. Took me having a health scare to wake me the fuck up! I’m up and wide awake again! And going after it everyday. Dropped 80lbs pounds and getting stronger as well. Eating healthier as well, just had a check up and all test came back good! Started down the road to getting into cyber security something I always wanted to work in. Currently consuming as much as I can to catch up in what I don’t know. Anyone reading this I would say get after it! Life is a beautiful thing to experience for yourself.
3 gf? Like three girlfriends at once?
Yeah think this guy forgot about the part about not lying.
Great improvement brother! May your father Rest in Peace.
@@EsseQuamVideriSe7enWhy not? He was very happy and productive so he was totally killing it.
@@Darknight526 thank you brother 💪
I once had a sales job and I viewed the entire experience as a dry bones experience of working harder than everyone else, beating myself to death fighting for results, and failing while others were goofing around enjoying life and getting much better results than I. Well, after the season was over and I quit, I began to look at, why?
So I learned that nothing can be accomplished from the level of left brain trying, no matter how hard you try! Relaxing, getting in the flow, using your perception, expressing care and enjoyment, employing all levels of your being, not just your linear brain alone! I learned!
This is good a observation. God Bless.
I stumbled upon a clip of the Cathy Newman interview at the beginning of 2018, it led me to the Biblical Series, from there to Maps of Meaning. I was cynical and lost.
Fast-forward to today: I am making the final preparations for my wedding day tomorrow(!). I'm marrying a great woman, who's almost 3 months pregnant with our child.
What a journey it has been, and this is just the start! I owe this man for showing me the way. Belief is indeed wiser than cynicism.
as a non english native speaker i had quite a difficult time going through both of his most famous books, as well as through of many of his interviews, including this one. It doesn't matter how difficult at first, there always comes a time when chills run down your back listening to this man
Keep on learning. You are clearly writing English better than most native speakers I know :)
@@0num4 yea man ahaha i can technically teach english up to university level. But this guy right here, he's of another kind
I don’t know if it’s good or bad that you are forced to slow down. Reading philosophical ideas too quickly are worse than not reading them. Great job taking up the challenge.
I'm not a native speaker too... and I actually had problems reading his books even tho I read the translated version in my mother tongue.... I have to expand my vocabulary circle in both English and my mother tongue 😭
The image of JP dancing tho… it won’t leave the corridors of my memory lol. Love this guy, and never tire of hearing his voice. Blessings to you JP - for ever and a day🙏🏾.
Even though there are major things I disagree with him about, Peterson is very knowledgeable about psychology and has much to offer in this domain. I would really like to sit down and have an in depth conversation about the areas where we disagree to see if I’m wrong. So far, he hasn’t said anything publicly that’s persuasive. This conversation about cynicism and development is highly valuable and I’m grateful for his insights. Thank you.
Our internet dad! Thanks a lot! Now I'm a license professional teacher! TELL the TRUTH and BEAR your CROSS! Thanks for re-echoing these messages to the people across the world!
Jordan Peterson is on fire lately. I feel like he's sharper than he's been in a very long time.
yes he is sharper!! amazing , we are getting so blessed
Jordan Peterson in Africa 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 !!! We are waiting for you Dr. Peterson.
5 days into my social media detox. 5 days into my mental health journey and healing journey. 5 days in my journey to become a new version of myself I come across this masterpiece of an interview. WOW just WOW. I’m 24 and I feel like I’ve missed out on so much. Better late than never. Hoping this comment keeps me returning back to this video. I’ve written so many notes.
Being able to listen to a person who's so articulate, speaking about deepest things in life is a one thing, but seeing in front of your eyes how things he lays out manifest itself it's whole new level! I hope more people in the world could hear his message ❤️🔥
And seeing it all in HD! ⭐️
It's all in +The Bible"
Dr Peterson is a brilliant man and physician. He has helped restore my faith in doctors. I am LGBT and I am not offended at all by some of his other content our people have to be protected from a medical industrial complex that wants to profit from their confusion and trauma. He is excellence and I would love to have some sessions with him despite having learned to be my own physician. Brilliant he truly is! Such courage and tenacity!
Hello. Why is gay allied to trans? If you're not gay (because you're trans), why is it sort of the same? If you're now a woman you are not gay, surely.
Yes I was born in the 70s but I don't get this. It doesn't seem valid.
Dr Peterson is not a physician (MD). He is a psychologist (PhD). I just wanted to make sure you knew of his real academic credentials.
Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way) don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
First of all, if you have any questions regarding Islam and yourself, just open the Quran randomly, and you will find the answer in front of you, like a miracle and a sign from God.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..
God said : Say, “We believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. And to Him, we surrender.”

Salam (Peace) -----------------
This is by far the best conversation I’ve listened to in 2024. Thank you both for a wonderful opportunity to “attend to my own ignorance” once again. Always, always, always a pleasure. I’m 42 and have just purchased tickets to my very first anything concert, lecture, show of any type. Dr. Peterson I can’t wait to see you in Phoenix in a few days. I’ve listened to you and you have helped me so much over the years I feel as though my presence and contribution to your live paid event is my opportunity to show you my gratitude. I wish so much that I could have afforded to meet you and thank you in person but we do what we are able. I know it will be a wonderful and worthy first time. I hope In your “stalk” we meet each other’s gaze and acknowledge our presence and gratitude.
You know your telling the truth if you're upsetting a bunch of liars. Well done, JP!!!
Woooooord! That hits deep!
😆truth is their weakness but for us, it's our strength. 🥰😇
I admire JP more than anyone else in modern society. He is a gift to humanity
Humanity? A person who is comfortable with saying ‘give them hell’?
@@karolkozowski3170 Christ himself said sell your cloak and buy a sword.
@@TommyGunz327He also said “turn the other cheek”, “love your enemies”, “judge not”, “woe to the rich”.

3.5hrs later and I just want to start it over and watch again until its memorized. Feels like water to my soul in a parched land. So thankful to finally have found sanity after "wandering through the desert" through my 20s (I'm 29).
So glad for you. I was adopted. My parents and family did love me. I’m sure. Yet I’ve always been alone & felt misplaced, no home for me. Always lonely. I have to listen hard to his words, but I pray God will give me the wisdom & insight to understand. Some makes sense, but so much info I can see that’s valid. I’m 67 & so tired of the desert that’s most of my life. I know ‘y Savior Jesus loves me & im not truly alone. Yet it’s empty. I don’t know where I belong
@@christinawarrington3192 I'm sending you love. People were made to belong in a family. When that bond is broken, life always feels differently than it was designed to and suffering ensues. That's not your fault... my broken family is also the reason I ended up confused and without anchoring for so long, though I thought it was because I was so "open minded". It was because I was designed to be safe and secure inside the bond of a tribe and a two parent household, at least (possibly with many generations!). It's a tragedy for every person who doesn't get to experience God's love directly through their parents, laying the foundation of security for their whole lifetime. But I truly believe God is working good out of evil and redeeming all things broken or warped, when we surrender our lives to the "redeemer." I can't fix the world, but through me, I can watch the force of ultimate Love repair the unrepairable. Maybe not for us, but for our children, and our children's children, and our neighbors, and the people we disagree with. His love is so much bigger than us and our lives, He can create meaning out of what feels senseless. He has not forgotten you; you belong to the creator of the universe, Christina!
You belong exactly where you are. Stop and look around and embrace your place in this world. @@christinawarrington3192
He’s the only intellectual I’ve heard that understands people who are completely mentally shut down…and how to get back up - using the tiniest of baby steps.
Jordan Peterson is by far one of the most thought-provoking intellectuals I have ever come across.
One single thing that makes this man great is the care and caution with which he chooses his words. Those sudden pauses in the course of a conversation speak volumes.
Dr. Peterson is such a valuable man for the culture. We are lucky to have him.
There are more lovers than haters of JP. But I thank him for making me see the value of truth and power of it while speaking it. I cured my lifelong anxiety by being truthful ALL THE TIME.
I came across Jordan when I was in a very dark place , ( I believe that the universe led me to him ) and I've listened to him on many podcasts , whilst walking dogs , his words have helped me move slowly and incrementally forwards and towards hope , thank you Jordan , you have helped me move out of that dark place , I now go to dance classes , working and connecting with my family in Australia ( I was adopted at birth ) and making my bed !! ❤❤❤❤ ❤️
I came across him under similar circumstances. And Caroline, I want to encourage you with this: it wasn’t the Universe that brought you here. It wasn’t an ambiguous, disembodied deity. No, it was a personal, incarnate God who is reaching out to you. I was the very real Jesus.
Far be it from me to insist on what you should do, but I’d encourage you to visit your local Catholic Church and speak with a priest.
I was fiercely anti-Catholic for most of my life. I began to delve deeper into their theology and philosophy and all of my misconceptions melted away. Jesus wants all of us to join his holy church and partake of his body and blood every week. He wants to walk with you through every area of your life.
Come join into a relationship with God. He’s reaching out to you. He’s personal and interested in you.
Forgive me for being so forthcoming. I suppose it’s my bombastic Americana showing.
Blessings,
Alex
Good for you ❤
What Dr. Jordan Peterson taught me is to own your shadows/darkness/flaws/mistakes/uneasy truths. Freaking own it. He is been telling us to tell truths for our own's sakes. That is how you get tough, and it can counter act the super sensitive part of ourselves that get hurt too easily. I have watched his lectures/interviews for I think 3 years now, that lesson is the most valuable lesson I will bring into my own grave. Jung and him is part of top list people I will be thankful for forever.
It’s a blessing to have come across this as a woman never taken a Philosophy class but have sat alone asking myself questions and looking within wondering why do I think this way and do not fit in the world. When asked what I fear by my peers I’ve said I fear the untrue. I’ve now spent hours listening to Jordan feeling validated in my personal thoughts I’ve not spoken to anyone. Cannot describe how I feel and where the lonely weight has gone. Thank you!!!
Monkette mode? Nun mode?
Not sure what the correct politically-incorrect moniker should be appropriate. HA!
Hope it's funny anyway. Pithy might be better, IDK.
Either way, happy for you and welcome aboard.
@@wendellbabin6457…?
Listen to Allen watts
Try listening to his personality and maps of meaning course lectures. They’re great. I’ve listened to them all (in the car) and might go through them again!
I found JP while trapped in my deepest darkest pit also. I'm also a woman and never understood the criticism he gets about "targeting young men." I've never thought he was speaking to a particular gender or age group. Wisdom is wisdom. That's it!
“The remediation of your own ignorance is a spiritual pursuit!”…A WORLD CHANGER!!!❤❤❤

I thank Jordan for enhancing my English. It isn't my mother tongue and I listen all the podcasts of all creators in English and barely find the difficulty to understand the message until I step on Jordan speaking. I love it how I'm not only learning about the principles of decent living but also the new words I only knew in Polish before.tank you for never going the easy pathway with us listeners Jordan.
First 3 minutes are pure gold, so incredibly valuable for someone very close to taking a dark path. Jordan Peterson knows, you can see it in his face and persona, he has a certain responsibility, that he has selflessly placed on himself, to explain human phycologicaly for the general man and woman. I cant even imagine how many people he has helped by doing these videos. The world can be dark, when retreating, to protect yourself based on past experiences, he shows another option is possible.
@@kw1178 True
A brilliant individual.
I think he knows so well and it actually eats him up. He feels extreme pressure to do the right thing... For himself, his family, and his followers; in that order. I feel like he just need to be told that "he is enough". I feel so much pain for him and I hope he knows that he has influenced countless people for the good. You can tell fame has seriously affected his life and I hope he continues what he does; as long as he is emotionally capable.
This is the closest you can get to reality in a world full of misleadings and the truth became hated and unwanted. I appreciate every word as it definitely gave me hope and encouragement.
This man is a gift to society. A voice to cut right through the vicissitudes of life, and shine a light on the correct path to get through them. Amazing individual.
I had to look up the word vicissitude(s)... I have found a new favorite word now. Thank you!
Absolutely a great podcast. A must listen. I’ve been raised a Christian, but I’ve had my doubts at times. JP’s explanations have certainly pushed me deeper into my faith. He is a positive light for this world. And Chris, great job in showing us that.
I hope and pray that 1 day I will be As articulant as him. Everything he says resignates with my life.Everything he says feels true. Jordan Peterson is amazing.
The best way to become more articulate is to read! Read, read and read some more. Then talk to people. Then read some more.
Jordan is like everyone's well-grounded grampa or dad that is an absolute wealth of life information.
Thank you for featuring this international treasure. Man of the century, so far. Thank you Dr. Peterson.
I love Jordan with the same ferociousness I felt for my father.. Rest in peace Dad.
This man's a legend in his own time and rightly so. Dr. Peterson has helped me to understand my husband's struggles better along with his needs.The information he's provided has helped me to be a better person, wife, and mother. I was the absent one in our marriage at times and I am now so wonderfully present. It pains me to think how much I neglected my husband emotionally off and on over the years. I truly enjoy my husband and we've chased each other for 24 years straight. Lol. However, now the difficult days are much better and I am more attentive. I pray we have many more years of new material from Dr. Peterson and his beautiful family.
This is one of the best podcasts and discussions I’ve ever heard. Dr Peterson is a genius
I listen to Jordan Peterson every day. His lessons on leading a successful life are jaw-dropingly eye-poppingly easy to follow and simple to understand. I owe this man more than I could repay for the vast improvement in my outlook on life. Many, many thanks JP 👍
I could listen to this man for hours and hours and still not be satisfied with with the limited amount of wisdom that I could gather from him. JP is a treasure and an absolute delight to listen to. Even after all his fame, I still feel that he his underrated. Truly one of the greatest thinkers of our time and my idol.
Me to. I do. I learn something from him everyday... this darkness that invades is too much to bear but jordan gets me through. Like he's been there his wisdom addresses so much in today society. His thoughts are my thoughts.
I am always so grateful to be alive in the same time period as Jordan Peterson. He is truly a gem in mind and soul. I walk away from his podcasts with deeper knowledge and wisdom and a restored faith in humanity. Thank you both for this talk. I learned a lot and will continue to return for this wisdom.
One of the best conversations I’ve heard JP have
Chris , We need people like you, Jordan to tour Africa. I am Nigerian and I can say for a fact that we suffer from a mentality deficit epidemic. I don't have the wealth of influence and financial capability to bring this caliber of people but I know, for a fact that hearing you guys talk like this overtime, has helped shape my mind better and I know it will help shape many others too. Thank you for existing and for doing what you do, Chris
I'm so glad you share this view. I'm Nigerian as well and I can say for sure that this Dr has changed my mind. Something draws on my inside when I listen to him. I'm starting nurture the thought of a podcast too.
All the best you guys 🔥
Some things he says are just so deeply true, it feels amazing to hear it out loud, and to hear it condensed into a simple sentence.
True treasure of humanity, and a real tragedy that he gets smeared by much of our society's top layer.
Absolutely agree.
Yeah- the “top layer” is comprised of bottom feeders who want the population to be immoral , debauched, depressed , demoralized , thereby making people easy to manipulate and control.
Even though I sometimes don't completely agree with some of the points Jordan Peterson makes, I have to admit that he also says a lot of important things. When it comes to psychology, his advice has been extremely helpful in my life. I started watching his videos 5 years ago and I can safely say that he is a very smart person who wants good for others. This interview proved it again. I can recommend him to everyone.
I wish everyone would listen to this and take it seriously. I know so many people that have taken the wrong turn in life 😢❤
Easily going through the toughest year I’ve had in my 24 years of life. Conversations like these take me away from it all. Jordan helped me so much through the years. I don’t know where I would be right now without his endless pool of knowledge and advice. Thank you guys both for opening my mind in the best way from time to time. Much love
Keep your shoulders back, chin up and look people in the eye as you walk forward. One day at a time and you’re going to be ok
@lukecrawford8329 Right. The world isn’t fair and never will be. Hey, you should use periods in your sentences because your comment was very hard to read
This talk was FILLED with so much value! Every 5 minutes has me reflecting and recognizing subject points as they pertain to my life. Gotta watch every second of this, thanks for the post.
I needed this talk right now so badly. I notice myself becoming resentful and cynical with life without wanting to, all because my life has not turned out how I envisioned and worked hard to accomplish. This is the point where I just need to keep on working hard because reality might be that I am not the ultimate ideal but I can scale it down to where I can get as closest as I can. Thank you for this interview.
Learning to be grateful for what you do have is a blessing. It will give you a sense of peace. It doesn’t mean you stop trying. It just means appreciating what’s around you right now instead of always looking into the future.
Jordan is helping me face some of the most problematic points within myself. I’m 35 and trying desperately to find my path. My own mind has not been kind since I was a child, let alone being 35. He’s definitely helping me navigate myself and finding the cure to my own self disdain. I’ve got a ways to go, but at least it’s a direction.
Dr. Peterson has single-handedly taken me from a place of dread and misery to a hopeful place. Now I am active, healthy, working on something that matters and have the healthiest relationship I've ever had with family. In my world, any negativity, disdain and criticism of the man is nullified.
This podcast slapped me in the face and brought me to some deep state of revaluating all life. I mean, he is an example of mature, realistic, intellectual and wise man, who are really spiritual, not in a sweet delusive way, but in Reality. He demolishes illusions by his speech! Thank you for this Podcast.
This is so seminal and culturally important. Damn near every sentence is quotable, it’s been taking so long to get through it because I’m running it back like ‘He said what?!’ Great conversation, thanks for the contribution to the culture here
Yep, it's time for a Peterson lecturing. I need that talking to. Time to hit play and have my BS way of thinking recalibrated for the new year. Jp is the man!
Jordan Peterson was like a father for me I followed him maybe 7 years ago, listened to all the UA-cam videos bought his book and gifted his book advice to everybody I know to go read it he was the guidance I needed in my life one of my dreams was to have conversations with him and I will always be grateful for he did to my life and how he made me who I am but the day he said give them hell that moment destroyed the image and the high estime I have of him ! I hope no one experiences hell ! everybody is having a fight you don't know about. Be kind , always. I wish you only the best good luck with this hard word 😢
I listen to Jordan Peterson every time I feel down. He is so incredibly articulate and wise. I listen to my Bible and then Peterson 🙏🙌🏼❤️
I have seen his lectures live twice. Met him once. He has changed my life. I had no idea how much I needed his wisdom and knowledge. He speaks so much truth he made many enemies. Which is par for the course.
My life changed forever when I was introduced to Jordan Peterson. ❤ Been on a constant path of growth for a whole year now. Read all 24 Rules For Life. Now I need to read Maps of Meaning!
No matter what’s going on in the world right now, we are all lucky to have Jordan Peterson as our worldly father.
Wow Jordan Peterson is so smart. He's able to take a question and formulate an extremely complex answer in a matter of seconds. Insane.
EXACTLY! He can clearly articulate things that the rest of us can only comprehend dimly and vaguely. That IS the mark of a genius.
Of course
Jordan Peterson is timeless! His wisdom and advice can be for anyone in any situation or circumstance. Not many people can speak in such a way where that is the case.
I am in a phase in my life where I am seeking a part of me that has always been there, but one that I have ignored due to laziness.
I have this part of me that wants knowledge because I want to understand myself more than I think I do. There are times where I am arrogant because I have a pretty good life, but I know deep down in my soul that there is something else I need. I hope I find it in studying the words of Jordan Peterson and other men and women like him.
So many people think that influential figures such as Peterson must be absolutely perfect and make no mistakes, or else they are a fraud/hack/someone to constantly criticize. He's human just like us all, and all humans fail. It's our choice to see the good and to show grace towards others. That doesn't mean you must agree with or believe everything they say, but to at a minimum we should seek truth and positivity in the message.
Thanks for all your hard work Chris, you're doing good work on a platform so full of negativity🙏
Well said, Struggler. There’s hundreds and possibly over a thousand hours of Peterson content readily available so naturally he’s going to say something that draws criticism from some corner of the planet. They take one small sample and demonize him as a whole. If that same attitude is applied towards everyone, themselves included, then we’re all frauds/hacks/failures. Doesn’t seem like a useful outlook. Some compassion is certainly in order.
Well said. This is a balanced comment. Not many on here.
If you take tiny steps toward improvement infact they can be so tiny that they are shameful and you have to be aware of that and become disciplined in doing those,
But once you get the ball rolling it will speed up extraordinary rapidly! - LOVE THIS!
I read the Peterson books, they changed everything for me.
Everything is basically perfect in my life now from watching these channels. Thank you for the amazing content!
Peterson never fails to have a conversation without pouring wisdom every 5 minutes, Thank you Chris the population needs these! 🙏
Thanks Jordan. Reminds me of “Mark. 8
[36] For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” & “the truth shall set you free”. Thank you Jesus ❤
