Nothing can make a father more proud and happy than sitting around and having a conversation (and laughing) with his adult children knowing he helped create them.
My FIL had a moment like that the other day. My husband, our two children, FIL and his wife and my husband’s brother all went out for dinner and he just looked around the table and beamed with pride. He said “this is so cool - this is all because of me”
I’m 3.5 mins into this podcast, and already I’ve seen JP laugh more than any other podcast I’ve seen him on. If that alone doesn’t illustrate the magic that children bring out in parents idk what would. It also clearly shows how much JP’s kids mean to him, which is one of his most endearing qualities. It is wonderful to see.
All though I am older, from this point on I translate him (JP) as my father substitute. If only all of us could grow this mind set the world would be a better place.
I love that Jordan gave julian all the books that promote psychedelic experiences...as a native who has experienced our peyote ceremonies it's definitely an experience that opens you up to the different realities around us..
It's amazing to see such clear proof that all he talks about the way he raised his children and how much they appreciated it, is 100% true and not just talk. So inspiring to see it really is possible to lovingly and conscientiously raise your children and have them return those feelings!
Yeah I wish people realized that no one cares what they have to say! Too many people have way too much of a voice ! Pipe down ! We don’t need your mouth !
Nicholas Joseph's - if you don't care what they say, why are you here? Do you have so little in your life that you have the time to seek out people you don't want to hear and then take the time to comment?
I love and respect Jordan Peterson so much and this was a great opportunity to see his “soft” side. This man is a success in all ways. It’s nice to see him interact with his children-the respect they have for each other is evident. ♥️
I adopted you as my "dad" many years ago when I first came across you. I needed a strong, healthy male influence. My father was abusive, then absent. I've since mended my relationship with him and have completely forgiven him. Your work for the most part (along with psychedelics, shadow work, spirituality and a few other brilliant individuals and their influence ...) has helped me work through my resentments and victim mentality. It was so beautiful to watch you with your children. I am so grateful for you...thank you for all that you've done for me and many others.
@@JordanBPeterson your an amazing soul and im so proud of your bravery and honesty about detoxing from benzodiazepines…u look like your feeling well and in a good place mentally spiritually n physically…i actually was in detox myself also from benzos listening to you but i didn’t know until i got out that u went through it too in russia 🇷🇺 u should’ve came to florida i thought 💭🌞 🙏 ..honestly thank you im 36 no kids never married college degree and it humanized anxiety n detox addiction/dependence etc
@@JordanBPeterson Will you talk to Bernardo Kastrup one day? He is the champion of "analytic idealism" and has interesting views on metaphysics, science, religion etc. He recently talked to Jonathan Pageau. He has also talked to John Vervaeke.
Yes exactly, showing love and teaching morals and ethics to your children is missing for many families. Also I think Canadians are less materialistic than the USA.
Sad that it's a rare thing tho right? But agree 💯. There is no greater feeling than to know you have raised smart healthy articulate happy children. Now go make us some grandchildren!!!!
I don't think I've seen this much laughter and happiness in any of Jordan's interviews. You can tell how much he cherishes his family. Remind me of his statement ; "every moment you get with your family, cherish it.....". It's so delightful to see him smile so much.
Thank you, doctor jordan peterson for being the father I never had, teaching me to be the father I never could, to the children I never thought I would deserve. For three years I've spent 4 hours per day studying your lectures, reading the sources you've suggested, moved and moving the stones of my life and others around to our highest potential, though it's not all successful, it's all from the heart, I finally live a life of truth and confidence in my potential.
I love your comment ❤️ my dad died 3 years ago (yesterday was the anniversary) a couple of days before Father’s Day 2019. The day we buried him was the 48th wedding anniversary. He was so loving, funny and so good to us… I can tell you, keep learning and growing as a father, it changes the lives of your children. I have my own family and my husband is such an excellent father too. Fathers protect their family and makes us feel safe. I feel so rich and fortunate to have being raised by my father❤️it has protected me in so many levels.
God *I* felt proud of Jordan seeing this. He must feel blessed, and lucky, and satisfied with his own parenting skill. My new highest goal in life is to raise kids that competent and good
@@rclc161 idk man, you’re going out of your way to click on UA-cam videos of someone you don’t like (also probably haven’t met), and taking time out of your day to comment negative things to elicit reactions from other people to get into arguments on the internet. That’s pretty weird, and not very tough, either.
Jordan is filled and overflowing with thoughts of depth and this can often run the line of overwhelmingly serious. Julian is able to take his father‘s words of wisdom and frame them within comedic form without demeaning the message or removing the depth. It’s a joy to see a father and son in sync to this degree.
My impression is Julian is just as smart as his father, his focus is more joyous and humorous. Definitely the funny Peterson. Like his comeback to JP's comment about writing "horrible poems about children". Not afraid at all to laugh at himself. Mind you JP is pretty humorous. Like his comment "lawyers are useful, in their proper place".
This just shows such a tender side of JP, you can tell he's just beaming with parental pride and unconditional love for his children. It's endearing to see him laughing and smiling with them.
1. It absolutely warms my heart to see JP and his children together like this. 2. I love to see how many ways Julian takes after his dad, but is completely his own person. Great job all around, Petersons. Family goals right here.
I always wondered about the son, Julian’s absence from the “scene”. And to find out he is just as intelligent and balanced as his dad, makes me appreciate even more what Jordan has to say. What a civilized, respectful and intelligent conversation between daughter, son and father.
As intelligent and balanced as his dad? I am laughing hard! If by intelligent and smart you mean a miserable misogynist that stupid people admire then I agree, his son could definately be that. btw both look more like transexual men with huge incel vibes. No hate agaist transexual men, allthought the comparison really offends them, most of them transition in order to look like men...
I've also wondered about the absence of Jordan Peterson's son and, to be honest, drew unflattering conclusions about it. To find them here, on this video, discussing work that they're doing in partnership is a surprise, but a happy one. Jordan respects his son's intellectual independence and his desire for privacy and so that family works in happy conjunction with each other.( presumably Mrs Peterson exercises her independence too!!!) Not mentioning Mikaila's presence is not judgemental, she's put herself out, publically, and doesn't need some stranger to validate her.
The amount of love in this room is insurmountable. It's literally drowning positivity. The vibe just seems the highest level of purity I ever saw with my eyes.
I want to be this kind of father to my children one day, having these kinds of conversations and laughs with them. What an inspiration you are as a man, Dr. P ❤️
You can’t be watching reality TV every night while they are in their rooms being indoctrinated by insane people on the web and TikTok. Giving them something productive to do is a big part of it.
I have such respect for Julian already--his humble nature and unwillingness to become public until he truly felt he had something to say. Much respect.
As a father of three this helps me see what I'm striving for: A healthy relationship with my children. Not without sadness or suffering but being there for them in the good times and the bad.
I loved watching the interaction between daughter, son and father. The respect and love is so obvious . They are totally at ease and enjoy each others company. The laughter and banter is pure delight. I will watch this again .
I wish so much that my family could talk like this and not have intellectual posturing and putting down each other. It’s a turn off when intellectuals feel they must highlight their superiority over others. It’s hurtful to relationships.
An he TRULY means it. I honestly think he choked up at first realizing he's on video with both of them at the same time. Jordan Peterson is a good man, a wild man, but one that might be worth listening to.
The greatest marker of Jordan’s success is that his family can sit down and have a loving and intelligent conversation with each other with no sense of the potential that the conversation may go sour.
In doing some reading about the topic many children of psychologists end up slightly neurotic since their parents want to “fix” or study what they see as broken. What their relationship seems to be based on is what JP said his marriage was based on which is trust. They seem to have been able to discuss things with him and he seems that he spoke with them and not talked at them. To see the love for them in his face is beautiful.
It's wild seeing how Jordan interacts with his kids. So much joy, laughter, intent listening between all of them. My own father never laughs with me. There's no joking, no levity. These three are so utterly at ease with each other, it's beautiful. I really wish I could have that.
Just be grateful your father is around. I say that with love. If your father isn't abusive and has provided for you throughout life, be grateful, be endlessly grateful. ❤️
Children bought up with emotional intelligence and love are a delight. To have someone like JP in their family is a win win situation, how rounded are his children. A delightful podcast .... thank you .
As great as I thought Dr Peterson could be as a public mind, seeing him in a relaxed environment as "Dad" has completely reconceptualized what my idea of "great" is.
Jordan completely lights up when speaking with his children. They are beautifully unique and equally as brilliant! Jordan is such an amazing person. Enjoy that bliss!💕
What a nice healthy relationship. So good to see both dad and son laugh together. Son expresses his own thoughts. Good parenting. Congratulations to you both.
Hi Dr. Peterson, I’ve been pursuing my psy.d in clinical psychology for 4 years now and it’s been extremely difficult but worthwhile. You’ve been someone I continually look up to and model in many ways. I do put my own personal twist into all of it. It’s been an interesting experience finishing up my 20,s and entering into my 30’s. You’re lectures; interviews, advice and books have been a grounding force for me during this time for me navigating growing into myself. I truly love the man I’m becoming and love you’re emphasis on taking care of the small things in your life. You can’t take on the big things in life if you’re not taking care of the small things first! If it means anything, I just want to let you know that I’ve been rooting you on throughout all the hardships and hurdles you’ve encountered as a result of you being unapologetically authentic and courageous. You haven’t been alone through it. You’re a great man and have done good for humanity. Thank you!
Your comment is SO inspiring! I've not trusted (nor had any good experiences with) therapists for a very long time. What with our colleges & universities churning out radical Iiberal ideologs, they transfer their political stances onto their patients & judge them, instead of trying to actually just treat them. Even reading the comments on their OWN websites is terrifying at times. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors. (& clearly I need that editing program they were talking about!)
Such a wonderful family. Jordan, it is obvious how exemplary of a job you’ve done building your relationship with your children. I strive for the same with my family. Thanks for sharing this conversation (along with your amazing lectures/interviews), it stands out as very special.
Makes me thankful for mine, we can sit down like this and make fun of each other, reminisce, and ask how each of us are doing. Birthdays, holidays, and get togethers are amazing, and I feel bad for those who have terrible families. I really do.
Love your work. You have been a consistent, positive influence in my life. From homeless 5 years ago, to nearing the purchase of my first house. Thank you. I wish you and your family all the best. Also your son has the coolest name 😋. My name is also Julian.
I've been long time Peterson fan, ever since he stood up to campus ideologues, and this is my first time seeing Julian. To many us JBP was the missing or lacking father figure and role model in our own lives . It's so inspiring to see what good parent and children could look like. Something to hope for and dream for. Thank you as always.
What a great son. He loves his dad. I get the feeling he’s been watching Jordan carefully and patiently. He seems to quietly observe his dad. He knew things about his father that his sister didn’t. I’m so touched by that. It must have been lonely for you going through the sicknesses without complaining. I’m so happy you can spend more time together now. Bless you and your family
Jordan and Mikhaila, thank you so much for "capturing" Julian and making him do the podcast. He is absolutely precious and delightful. So quick and witty. He plays off the two of you so beautifully. And you, Mikhaila, laugh at your brother so much it's wonderful to see. In fact, I've never seen so much laughter on your podcast. That's the beauty of family gatherings that are healthy--lots of laughter and good natured teasing. Who knows us better than our siblings.
Honestly didn't know anything about his children, so thank you for clarifying this is his daughter lol...was incredible to watch...I have a very deep son..and I'm a deep thinker, I now know what my kids have had to deal with😆😆😆😆😆
I have 4 children. To sit and bask in their presence one day like this is a dream. Right now they’re between 2 years old and 9yo and I’m homeschooling so I’m “in the trenches” and it’s hard to see down the road. When I see you and your adult children enjoying fellowship this way, it helps me tilt my chin up and see down the road.
Respect for homeschoooling four children, it's not easy, hang in there. I was a family support worker and I always tried teaching my families that relationship building is more important than parenting styles and perfection. Playing with your children, while letting them lead the games, sitting and listening to them, sometimes without jumping in with advice and admonition, and living what you want them to become, will do more to create positive future relationships with them than anything else.
I made it out:) Absolut bliss to have the deep love and respect of your adult children! We had a very, very difficult son for 8 long teen years, troubles galore!, he came out if it at age 23! Don't give up!! Love wins the battle!! (... and love yourself too!) Blessings to all parents in the trenches!
This was an absolute treat to see all 3 of you together. Please do a podcast with Tammy included and discuss family structure, marriage and raising kids pleeeeeeeeeaaasssse!!!
I've never seen J.P. happier than this, surrounded by his kids, sharing laughter and joy with them. What a great episode this has been. Thank you, Petersons. P.S. I would love to see an episode like this with Tammy included. Such a beautiful yet interesting family with so much to give.
I’ve never seen JP smile this much. I can relate with that joy of family and happiness adult children can bring. Everything I once thought was important in my life has been replaced with the joy of family.
He adores his children, it is apparent and a pleasure to see them interact. His son carries many of the same mannerism as Dr. Peterson and you can tell his daughter is a daddy's girl. I love the mischievous inside looks of love the children gave each other when their father would speak. They are an extremely close family, what a beautiful thing.
Man, that moment when Jordan and Julian were talking about Julian taking a step back during their family sickness - you could definitely tell it's been a point of frustration for him, and a point of regret for Jordan that they couldn't focus on him the way he may have needed as a young kid, but that through grace, will, and strength Julian somehow overcame the unfortunate necessary neglect but that both at some point have probably reconciled over it. Methinks it's also related to why Julian said "We don't think the same." Fascinating family.
This made me smile so big in the first 2 minutes. Watching you as an organic family, you allowed me in your house for a brief moment. Thank you for risking being vulnerable. It was noticed and made me happy. Respect.
I love watching parents delight in their children at any age, and seeing Jordan delight in his adult children is no exception. Really special! His children have been shown how to walk around ideas, to poke them with a stick, to really think things through. So beautiful to see their joyous exchanges.
It's beautiful to hear so much laughter. I also like the fact that Mikhaila has no problem admitting she does not know the meaning of a word instead of pretending she does. This is a great example of a functional family.
Wow the respect between people in this family. Each time they falter the other two have their back. ❤️ And how they provide context... A well oiled machine.
I admire this family immensely. Dr. Peterson is the most influential mentor in my entire 53 years - no question. You can see the genuine love, compassion and that highest order with a few minor touches of necessary chaos... 😊. Thank you all
Wow these kids are smart. Jordan should and is clearly extremely proud of them. It really is amazing to see a father so happy to interact with his family.. this is what society should idolise.
I admire JP and wish I read his book sooner in life. Because of him, I went from being miserable and sleeping all day to cleaning my room, getting a dog, going on walks, losing weight, starting a garden, and for the first time in a very long time, being happy. I'm a disabled veteran and he saved my life. I bought a ticket to meet and hear him speak in 2023. I hope to shake his hand.
@@JordanBPeterson I honestly can't believe my personal hero responded to me. Thank you JP for everything. I will see you in February in Ohio. God bless you.
All smiles watching this. His son wanting to reach his goals by his own merits. Not on his father's name. Super respectable. His kids being so well adjusted is indisputable proof Dr. Peterson knows what he is talking about, is a good person. If he was a piece of shit like his nay sayers insist, it would be magnified in his kids.
Sorry I can’t agree. Mikhaila has been riding on her father’s fame from her first appearance in the public domaine. I think I first saw her on Joe Rogan and it was an awkward interview because Joe had to feed her replies to his questions. I think Julian is of more substance.
I've never seen JP with such a happy joyful expression on his face. So good to see the beaming smile of a father for his kids. He's so full of love. So wonderful to see JP absolutely beam with love.
I didn’t know Peterson could look happy. He obviously loves his kids because his whole demeanor is so different and his smiles are cheek to cheek. I enjoyed this a lot. It gives a glimpse into how each child is now as an adult. Which attests to Peterson parents good job at raising kids. Also it was interesting to see the discomfort his son showed about being asked for a selfie. He was clearly very uncomfortable with celebrity and clearly wants a mostly quiet private life.
This is the kind of family I think most people envision or hope for when deciding to start their own. Loving, loyal and necessarily imperfect in the way that makes the relationships stronger. Congratulations, Petersons.
Damn I wish I had parents who had taught me how to negotiate. You two are SO fortunate to have been born into such a supportive & thoughtful family situation.
Loved seeing all of you together. Laughed out loud so many times and simultaneously felt deep sadness that I didn’t have a dad like Jordan. One of my favorite parts was watching Julian flutter his hand and fingers like his dad while he was talking. 🤍
I absolutely love love love this family...I also have a Philosophy/English Literature degree and this humour and family dynamic just makes my heart sing....they are so very authentic and loving. I wish everyone could learn from this family. I also watched the other video with Mama Peterson and Papa....another lovely wonderful video. Thank you Petersons for sharing your family life with others. You are a God send!
I'm 27, my family is very distant, physically and emotionally, I had no father to be there for me and instead found wise men like JP to guide me. I was just dumped again, after a long relationship, and I likely deserved it. I'm in the belly of chaos, and after seeing JP go through so much, and how happy he is with his children, it inspires me to not give up on my life. I hope one day I can find a way in this harsh and unforgiving world to find a partner I can love deeply and rely on for life, and raise a family. Thank for for being an inspiration and a guide in my life Jordan when all else was dark and hopeless. I love you very much.
I've taken in countless lectures, met you in person and changed my life. I went from a worker drone to a multi-site supervisor. I've gone from living with my parents without direction to becoming a homeowner. But here, you've upped the ante and raised the bar without even knowing it. If I get the chance to be a father, this is the new gold standard on what that looks like. Julian, your album is fantastic, but you need more songs! I played along with I Can See on the piano and I can't even play piano. Great vibe!
Wow, this kid is intelligent, funny, articulate, and so centered and grounded...and so zen also...I'm super impressed!!! Great job, Julian! Great job, Peterson family! ...(lucky specific wife, btw! hahaha)
When my son was born and when I was raising him it was the first time in my life I knew what true love selfless love was. He is now a wonderful man and that love nevers dies.
So great to see the ILLUSIVE Julian. Always wondered when we were going to meet Jordan’s son. Such a good looking and well spoken family. Love all of you and Mom too.
Loved the moment that Mikhailia and Julian shared when Jordan was moving his fingers the way he always does and they mimicked it. Something only siblings can do, sharing a moment like that. My guess is they have seen it done many times before. What a fantastic video!
I find myself genuinely laughing along, and closely listening. I wanted so much for my own family; my parents and brother, to be like this. I have this same blueprint in me - but sadly my parents were pathological, and my brother was an abuser, a manipulator, and a bully toward me. I both withdrew to a magical interior world, as I fought and out-maneuvered my family. I survived, but it sold most of my life out. I’m alone now with no close friends and thousands of miles away from my family who I went no-contact with five years ago. My interior life is more free than before, and my relationship with the world is uneventful, as I need it to be. Most people are off-putting to me in general, but I could be in the room with these three and I know we’d click.
Hey there stranger, just wanted to say I really get that feeling of longing I suspect we both share from watching this lovely family going back and forth, and enjoying each other's company. Here's hoping you'll be able to start your own lovely family, filled with genuine love.
I've had times in my life where I've had no friends, it was hard for me as I think I'm naturally an extrovert though with introverted tendencies. Try to seek out a few friends... I seek out super kind, intelligent folk.. they are all I can handle. Much like these three. You can do it slowly but surely, soon you will have found your little tribe. Procreate if you can, family is great. I hope you can create your own happy community. You've made a HUGE start (the hardest part) by cutting out the toxicity.. now see if you can bring in a little love :)
Perhaps You might be surprised at how many other people have a similar story, and reaction to this video as well. Count me in this number. Anyone else?
I’m in a similar situation to yours, I just went no contact with my family and I’m very lonely. We need to find each other and make a small family of lonely, isolated folk together! ☺️
What a beautiful family interaction - I found myself laughing with them and feeling their love for each other. A magnificent example of how to take topics and keep the discourse light yet pertinent. Thanks - So refreshing.
So great to see Jordan in such good form. Julian is his own person and yet I see how much he has been informed by his childhood experiences. Both Mikhalia and Julian are very grounded and well rounded individualists. Thanks for the interview Julian.
Thanks for having me on, dad!
Wow you have the coolest name man. 😁
So happy to meet you. What a beautiful, smart, lovely and great model family 🙏🥰 the world need more family like yours. Thank you for sharing.
I heard that Mikaela was named after Mikael Gorbachev. Do you have a namesake?
Julian, have you been told you look like a young Robert Deniro??
? Taxi Driver era and earlier .....
Nice to meet you, so to speak. 😄

i swear... all of his "hate" can simply be erased if he acts a bit more human and laughs a bit more. as joker said, why so seriousss??
I've never seen Jordan as naturally happy as he is here, being surrounded by his kids like this.
Love it, and am glad to finally see his son.

The closeness and love here is obvious and so refreshing. In His love
I've never seen Dr. Peterson so animated and radiant as I have seen him around his children. That's what life is all about, basically.

Seems like a really happy, functional, loving family who truly enjoy being around each other. It's a beautiful thing to see.

That’s pretty weird, and not very tough, either.
@@rclc161 you even liked your own comment, that's pathetic
Yes,I noticed that too.It's nice to see.
Jordan is filled and overflowing with thoughts of depth and this can often run the line of overwhelmingly serious. Julian is able to take his father‘s words of wisdom and frame them within comedic form without demeaning the message or removing the depth.
It’s a joy to see a father and son in sync to this degree.
Ya that was so cool
I mean women DO like being referred to as "specific wives" that is a fact lol
My impression is Julian is just as smart as his father, his focus is more joyous and humorous. Definitely the funny Peterson. Like his comeback to JP's comment about writing "horrible poems about children". Not afraid at all to laugh at himself. Mind you JP is pretty humorous. Like his comment "lawyers are useful, in their proper place".
@@CONEHEADDK Funny, never thought of it that way.
This just shows such a tender side of JP, you can tell he's just beaming with parental pride and unconditional love for his children. It's endearing to see him laughing and smiling with them.
This is the basis and drive for what he tackles in his podcasts.
Prof Jordan Petersons' proudness of his son made me cry, what a great example of a father this prof is.
1. It absolutely warms my heart to see JP and his children together like this.
2. I love to see how many ways Julian takes after his dad, but is completely his own person.
Great job all around, Petersons. Family goals right here.
The laugh 🤣
@@shelbyrenovations3740 Yes! That was great. 😂
I always wondered about the son, Julian’s absence from the “scene”. And to find out he is just as intelligent and balanced as his dad, makes me appreciate even more what Jordan has to say. What a civilized, respectful and intelligent conversation between daughter, son and father.
As intelligent and balanced as his dad? I am laughing hard! If by intelligent and smart you mean a miserable misogynist that stupid people admire then I agree, his son could definately be that. btw both look more like transexual men with huge incel vibes. No hate agaist transexual men, allthought the comparison really offends them, most of them transition in order to look like men...
I've also wondered about the absence of Jordan Peterson's son and, to be honest, drew unflattering conclusions about it. To find them here, on this video, discussing work that they're doing in partnership is a surprise, but a happy one. Jordan respects his son's intellectual independence and his desire for privacy and so that family works in happy conjunction with each other.( presumably Mrs Peterson exercises her independence too!!!) Not mentioning Mikaila's presence is not judgemental, she's put herself out, publically, and doesn't need some stranger to validate her.
The amount of love in this room is insurmountable. It's literally drowning positivity. The vibe just seems the highest level of purity I ever saw with my eyes.
I want to be this kind of father to my children one day, having these kinds of conversations and laughs with them. What an inspiration you are as a man, Dr. P ❤️
Well be there for them and talk to them all the time.
You can’t be watching reality TV every night while they are in their rooms being indoctrinated by insane people on the web and TikTok. Giving them something productive to do is a big part of it.
What a Great, down to earth young man!!!💯💯💯
What a wonderful vision of your self - you have created... what a mentor to have JP..enjoy the journey..
There is nothing more important that you could do with your life.
I have such respect for Julian already--his humble nature and unwillingness to become public until he truly felt he had something to say. Much respect.
This right here is "Dad Goals". Every Man should strive to have this someday.
As a father of three this helps me see what I'm striving for: A healthy relationship with my children. Not without sadness or suffering but being there for them in the good times and the bad.
The result of being a great father and mentor.
I loved watching the interaction between daughter, son and father. The respect and love is so obvious . They are totally at ease and enjoy each others company. The laughter and banter is pure delight. I will watch this again .
And the clearly 'inside jokes' that we're often not let into. Delightful.
I wish so much that my family could talk like this and not have intellectual posturing and putting down each other. It’s a turn off when intellectuals feel they must highlight their superiority over others. It’s hurtful to relationships.
Same.
Lovely to see Jordan and his kids laughing - one can see the close connection that they have. 😊
there is a great UFC fighter named driscus du plessis. not very common, but sounds very cool.
@@smashypeople there is also a South African cricketer named faf du plessis. not very common, but sounds very cool.
@@shijowilson must be a south African name. I think Driscus is SA. Very cool, sounds like a fantasy name lol.
I see Dr Jordan observing his son and it is profound. A father observing his child, a tree observing its fruit. It is something, to say the least.
An he TRULY means it. I honestly think he choked up at first realizing he's on video with both of them at the same time. Jordan Peterson is a good man, a wild man, but one that might be worth listening to.
This truly is a Morbius moment
@@jw2862 it’s morbin time 😈
you sound like dr peterson, all you need to add is "you know", "thats no small thing", "no REALLY"
@@yakkyjoe1 I see someone never learned about metaphors.
15 mins in the podcast and I haven’t stopped smiling. What a beautiful dynamic. Lovely.
The greatest marker of Jordan’s success is that his family can sit down and have a loving and intelligent conversation with each other with no sense of the potential that the conversation may go sour.
Totally agree
Nice family. A father's joy
Well if a psychologist can’t get it right who the hell can?
It also shows that it takes a psychologist to bring up kids 😂
In doing some reading about the topic many children of psychologists end up slightly neurotic since their parents want to “fix” or study what they see as broken. What their relationship seems to be based on is what JP said his marriage was based on which is trust. They seem to have been able to discuss things with him and he seems that he spoke with them and not talked at them. To see the love for them in his face is beautiful.
Makes me happy to see them banter and laugh. It’s a great sign of a healthy family
It's wild seeing how Jordan interacts with his kids. So much joy, laughter, intent listening between all of them. My own father never laughs with me. There's no joking, no levity. These three are so utterly at ease with each other, it's beautiful. I really wish I could have that.
Just be grateful your father is around. I say that with love. If your father isn't abusive and has provided for you throughout life, be grateful, be endlessly grateful. ❤️
It is wild and seems so normal/ideal
I see the absolute joy and delight in Dr. Peterson face it being with his children.❤️
@@rclc161 ugh, Is this supposed to be funny or insulting? clean your room
I want this good of a relationship with my kids when I'm older. You can see the joy in Jordan's eyes. True familial love. So good to see.
Children bought up with emotional intelligence and love are a delight. To have someone like JP in their family is a win win situation, how rounded are his children. A delightful podcast .... thank you .
As great as I thought Dr Peterson could be as a public mind, seeing him in a relaxed environment as "Dad" has completely reconceptualized what my idea of "great" is.
It's wonderful to see Jordan so animated with joy. A proud Father with two very talented, bright and attractive kids!
What an admirable position to be in
Jordan completely lights up when speaking with his children. They are beautifully unique and equally as brilliant! Jordan is such an amazing person. Enjoy that bliss!💕
Love the way Dr. Peterson analyzes what his son says and directs it back to him. A true psychotherapist.
When he said "No genuine work is wasted." and there was a moment of silence and group contemplation, I also felt that myself.
What a nice healthy relationship. So good to see both dad and son laugh together. Son expresses his own thoughts. Good parenting. Congratulations to you both.
Hi Dr. Peterson, I’ve been pursuing my psy.d in clinical psychology for 4 years now and it’s been extremely difficult but worthwhile. You’ve been someone I continually look up to and model in many ways. I do put my own personal twist into all of it. It’s been an interesting experience finishing up my 20,s and entering into my 30’s. You’re lectures; interviews, advice and books have been a grounding force for me during this time for me navigating growing into myself. I truly love the man I’m becoming and love you’re emphasis on taking care of the small things in your life. You can’t take on the big things in life if you’re not taking care of the small things first! If it means anything, I just want to let you know that I’ve been rooting you on throughout all the hardships and hurdles you’ve encountered as a result of you being unapologetically authentic and courageous. You haven’t been alone through it. You’re a great man and have done good for humanity. Thank you!
My pleasure Daniel. Congratulations on your work.
Your comment is SO inspiring! I've not trusted (nor had any good experiences with) therapists for a very long time. What with our colleges & universities churning out radical Iiberal ideologs, they transfer their political stances onto their patients & judge them, instead of trying to actually just treat them. Even reading the comments on their OWN websites is terrifying at times. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors. (& clearly I need that editing program they were talking about!)
That’s awesome
i hope the best for you, stranger
@@straightbeef I really hopes he sees this. You're proof that the internet can still be a good place. All the best to you as well
I just love how Julian’s presence rounds out the family dynamic and makes it so much more light hearted!! my fave online fam ❤️
Such a wonderful family. Jordan, it is obvious how exemplary of a job you’ve done building your relationship with your children. I strive for the same with my family. Thanks for sharing this conversation (along with your amazing lectures/interviews), it stands out as very special.
He makes the world a better place, he tries to, he does. I which everybody would just listen to him.
I'm 24 and watching this family together just makes you want to have a family of your own. It's so lovely to see this
Lol not so much
Makes me thankful for mine, we can sit down like this and make fun of each other, reminisce, and ask how each of us are doing. Birthdays, holidays, and get togethers are amazing, and I feel bad for those who have terrible families. I really do.
@@king-nick2023 K muscle dummy
Having a family is a double edged sword.
Seeing Dr. Peterson interact with his children has made me admire him even more. They are so blessed to have him as a father. 🙏🏼💙
Happy Latter-day Saint
I would like to invite you on the podcast as a guest. We can talk about anything and everything..
@ bro u just trynna fuck stop playing
Love your work. You have been a consistent, positive influence in my life. From homeless 5 years ago, to nearing the purchase of my first house. Thank you. I wish you and your family all the best. Also your son has the coolest name 😋. My name is also Julian.
Congratulations from being homeless to purchasing your first home. Way to go!!! Blessings from Texas. ♥️
Congratulations, MAN
We would love to hear about your story to man, keep going 💪
You are an inspiration. Congratulations on your first home. Thank you for sharing.
Yes, Julian is a cool name 🙂
God bless you
Yes It is as cool name and John Lennons son named also !!! Very lovely family so endearing to see in this world!!!❤😂❤😅❤
I've been long time Peterson fan, ever since he stood up to campus ideologues, and this is my first time seeing Julian. To many us JBP was the missing or lacking father figure and role model in our own lives . It's so inspiring to see what good parent and children could look like. Something to hope for and dream for. Thank you as always.
What a great son. He loves his dad. I get the feeling he’s been watching Jordan carefully and patiently. He seems to quietly observe his dad. He knew things about his father that his sister didn’t.
I’m so touched by that. It must have been lonely for you going through the sicknesses without complaining. I’m so happy you can spend more time together now. Bless you and your family
Is the girl in the video is jordan paterson daughter too??
@@roaaalashhab7261 Yes, Mikhaila Peterson
I love how Big Jordan smiles when he’s with his kids 😊❤️
Jordan and Mikhaila, thank you so much for "capturing" Julian and making him do the podcast. He is absolutely precious and delightful. So quick and witty. He plays off the two of you so beautifully. And you, Mikhaila, laugh at your brother so much it's wonderful to see. In fact, I've never seen so much laughter on your podcast. That's the beauty of family gatherings that are healthy--lots of laughter and good natured teasing. Who knows us better than our siblings.
Our parents
Beautifully said!
Honestly didn't know anything about his children, so thank you for clarifying this is his daughter lol...was incredible to watch...I have a very deep son..and I'm a deep thinker, I now know what my kids have had to deal with😆😆😆😆😆
Lol....my brothers have no clue who I am.
yup he seems the most well balanced of the lot... the other two, *rolls eyes*.. phew
I have 4 children. To sit and bask in their presence one day like this is a dream. Right now they’re between 2 years old and 9yo and I’m homeschooling so I’m “in the trenches” and it’s hard to see down the road. When I see you and your adult children enjoying fellowship this way, it helps me tilt my chin up and see down the road.
@@ruthanne6729 how kind of you to reach out, thank you 😊 God bless your sweet family!
Respect for homeschoooling four children, it's not easy, hang in there. I was a family support worker and I always tried teaching my families that relationship building is more important than parenting styles and perfection. Playing with your children, while letting them lead the games, sitting and listening to them, sometimes without jumping in with advice and admonition, and living what you want them to become, will do more to create positive future relationships with them than anything else.
Best wishes ahead Mam.
God willing, Your children will bring you a lot of fulfillment and happiness in life
I made it out:) Absolut bliss to have the deep love and respect of your adult children! We had a very, very difficult son for 8 long teen years, troubles galore!, he came out if it at age 23! Don't give up!! Love wins the battle!!
(... and love yourself too!)
Blessings to all parents in the trenches!
So precious to see you all having such a heartwarming discussion , sprinkled with love, joy and laughter ❤️
This was an absolute treat to see all 3 of you together. Please do a podcast with Tammy included and discuss family structure, marriage and raising kids pleeeeeeeeeaaasssse!!!
I've never seen J.P. happier than this, surrounded by his kids, sharing laughter and joy with them. What a great episode this has been. Thank you, Petersons.
P.S. I would love to see an episode like this with Tammy included. Such a beautiful yet interesting family with so much to give.
I’ve never seen JP smile this much. I can relate with that joy of family and happiness adult children can bring. Everything I once thought was important in my life has been replaced with the joy of family.
He adores his children, it is apparent and a pleasure to see them interact. His son carries many of the same mannerism as Dr. Peterson and you can tell his daughter is a daddy's girl. I love the mischievous inside looks of love the children gave each other when their father would speak. They are an extremely close family, what a beautiful thing.
Man, that moment when Jordan and Julian were talking about Julian taking a step back during their family sickness - you could definitely tell it's been a point of frustration for him, and a point of regret for Jordan that they couldn't focus on him the way he may have needed as a young kid, but that through grace, will, and strength Julian somehow overcame the unfortunate necessary neglect but that both at some point have probably reconciled over it. Methinks it's also related to why Julian said "We don't think the same."
Fascinating family.
Absolutely a family to marvel at the determination of, striving only to go forward, no matter what came between as distraction, specially The
Illness, of loved ones, this is how a family should be, 👍👍👍
Made me shed a tear!!!
This made me smile so big in the first 2 minutes. Watching you as an organic family, you allowed me in your house for a brief moment. Thank you for risking being vulnerable. It was noticed and made me happy. Respect.
All my child traumas disappeared for an hour today, hearing you guys talk as a family. Thank you.
One saved person is worth it.
I've never seen the doctor this happy before. Lovely to see!
I love watching parents delight in their children at any age, and seeing Jordan delight in his adult children is no exception. Really special! His children have been shown how to walk around ideas, to poke them with a stick, to really think things through. So beautiful to see their joyous exchanges.
Finally seen Julian, the son of Jordan, for the first time! He didn't disappoint. Fun guy, smart and a positive person.
Great to see Michaela is looking Absolutely Great after her lifelong health struggles!!!
All the Best to the Peterson's!!!❤️

Thank you Dr Peterson, Mikhaila and Julian. Is a such joy watching you guys. The world needs more family like yours. ❤️
Can we just say that it is really wonderful and wholesome to see a good dad surrounded by and enjoying his good children.
It's beautiful to hear so much laughter. I also like the fact that Mikhaila has no problem admitting she does not know the meaning of a word instead of pretending she does. This is a great example of a functional family.
Wow the respect between people in this family. Each time they falter the other two have their back. ❤️ And how they provide context... A well oiled machine.
I can’t hold back my tears seeing you together and laughing after all you have been gone through! God bless you!
A minute into the video and I have seen Dr. Peterson smile and laugh more than I have in the millions of videos I have seen from him. Love this.
I admire this family immensely. Dr. Peterson is the most influential mentor in my entire 53 years - no question. You can see the genuine love, compassion and that highest order with a few minor touches of necessary chaos... 😊.
Thank you all
Wow these kids are smart. Jordan should and is clearly extremely proud of them.
It really is amazing to see a father so happy to interact with his family.. this is what society should idolise.
And by their fruits, you shall know them”.
You ought to be proud, Dr. Peterson.
@@user-jl3sd6de4o you are into Bitcoin?? So am I!
@@Ethan7s it's a fake account. Don't fall for it.
I admire JP and wish I read his book sooner in life. Because of him, I went from being miserable and sleeping all day to cleaning my room, getting a dog, going on walks, losing weight, starting a garden, and for the first time in a very long time, being happy. I'm a disabled veteran and he saved my life.
I bought a ticket to meet and hear him speak in 2023. I hope to shake his hand.
Hooray! Good work!
@@JordanBPeterson I honestly can't believe my personal hero responded to me. Thank you JP for everything. I will see you in February in Ohio. God bless you.
All smiles watching this. His son wanting to reach his goals by his own merits. Not on his father's name. Super respectable. His kids being so well adjusted is indisputable proof Dr. Peterson knows what he is talking about, is a good person. If he was a piece of shit like his nay sayers insist, it would be magnified in his kids.
Sorry I can’t agree. Mikhaila has been riding on her father’s fame from her first appearance in the public domaine. I think I first saw her on Joe Rogan and it was an awkward interview because Joe had to feed her replies to his questions. I think Julian is of more substance.
@@deadfIag she is? She left her man for some big black fella and betrayed her word.

@@deadfIag A well adjusted mother of a baby girl doesn’t dress and act like a bimbo.

I've never seen JP with such a happy joyful expression on his face. So good to see the beaming smile of a father for his kids. He's so full of love. So wonderful to see JP absolutely beam with love.
I didn’t know Peterson could look happy. He obviously loves his kids because his whole demeanor is so different and his smiles are cheek to cheek.
I enjoyed this a lot. It gives a glimpse into how each child is now as an adult. Which attests to Peterson parents good job at raising kids.
Also it was interesting to see the discomfort his son showed about being asked for a selfie. He was clearly very uncomfortable with celebrity and clearly wants a mostly quiet private life.
His Daughter had serious health issues age of 7 she had to have Hip and Ankle replacement
This is the kind of family I think most people envision or hope for when deciding to start their own. Loving, loyal and necessarily imperfect in the way that makes the relationships stronger. Congratulations, Petersons.
Yes, so true
My cheeks are Aching! I can’t stop smiling! 😊Thank you Dr. Peterson for sharing your family’s happiness with us!
Damn I wish I had parents who had taught me how to negotiate. You two are SO fortunate to have been born into such a supportive & thoughtful family situation.
negotiation is truly...life
It’s really nice to be able to see what an actual family conversation is like for those of us who don’t or might ever have one
dont fall for the social media trap of judging and comparing yourself to others based on only the best moments being displayed.
21:13 Omg JP is truly a genius, and with that genius mind he has raised two awesome children.
Loved seeing all of you together. Laughed out loud so many times and simultaneously felt deep sadness that I didn’t have a dad like Jordan. One of my favorite parts was watching Julian flutter his hand and fingers like his dad while he was talking. 🤍
He has such a similar speech cadence too lol. Funny how that works, good ol heredity.
The love of the father is so tangible and impactful. He really loves and enjoys you all-his family!
I absolutely love love love this family...I also have a Philosophy/English Literature degree and this humour and family dynamic just makes my heart sing....they are so very authentic and loving. I wish everyone could learn from this family. I also watched the other video with Mama Peterson and Papa....another lovely wonderful video. Thank you Petersons for sharing your family life with others. You are a God send!
They're exactly what we need, smart, human role models to help us navigate life.
This brings me so much joy. What an honor it has been to be apart of this journey with you Dr. Peterson. ❤ always Gaige
I'm 27, my family is very distant, physically and emotionally, I had no father to be there for me and instead found wise men like JP to guide me.
I was just dumped again, after a long relationship, and I likely deserved it. I'm in the belly of chaos, and after seeing JP go through so much, and how happy he is with his children, it inspires me to not give up on my life.
I hope one day I can find a way in this harsh and unforgiving world to find a partner I can love deeply and rely on for life, and raise a family. Thank for for being an inspiration and a guide in my life Jordan when all else was dark and hopeless. I love you very much.
You'll be alright man
@@wideningcarrot6 thank you Luke. I think so too. We've got this.
I also cry. Its such a joy to know there are great people like Mr Peterson who also cry. He is impressive, and tough.
This interview brought a fee tears to my eyes...what an authentic and loving family. Watching Peterson pleased with his progeny is touching.
This was the most refreshing Interview I have ever seen. The genuine enjoyment and laughter the three of you have is a breath of fresh air.
This family is an international treasure!
I've taken in countless lectures, met you in person and changed my life. I went from a worker drone to a multi-site supervisor. I've gone from living with my parents without direction to becoming a homeowner. But here, you've upped the ante and raised the bar without even knowing it. If I get the chance to be a father, this is the new gold standard on what that looks like.
Julian, your album is fantastic, but you need more songs! I played along with I Can See on the piano and I can't even play piano. Great vibe!
Wow, this kid is intelligent, funny, articulate, and so centered and grounded...and so zen also...I'm super impressed!!! Great job, Julian! Great job, Peterson family! ...(lucky specific wife, btw! hahaha)
When my son was born and when I was raising him it was the first time in my life I knew what true love selfless love was. He is now a wonderful man and that love nevers dies.
The laughter is so refreshing! Such a loving, intelligent and deep family conversation! Thank you all for sharing.
So great to see the ILLUSIVE Julian. Always wondered when we were going to meet Jordan’s son. Such a good looking and well spoken family. Love all of you and Mom too.

Loved the moment that Mikhailia and Julian shared when Jordan was moving his fingers the way he always does and they mimicked it. Something only siblings can do, sharing a moment like that. My guess is they have seen it done many times before. What a fantastic video!
For the life of me my university can’t get me enthusiastic about writing even a short 300 word essay. But this. Man this. Fires me up.
I find myself genuinely laughing along, and closely listening. I wanted so much for my own family; my parents and brother, to be like this. I have this same blueprint in me - but sadly my parents were pathological, and my brother was an abuser, a manipulator, and a bully toward me. I both withdrew to a magical interior world, as I fought and out-maneuvered my family. I survived, but it sold most of my life out. I’m alone now with no close friends and thousands of miles away from my family who I went no-contact with five years ago. My interior life is more free than before, and my relationship with the world is uneventful, as I need it to be. Most people are off-putting to me in general, but I could be in the room with these three and I know we’d click.
Hey there stranger, just wanted to say I really get that feeling of longing I suspect we both share from watching this lovely family going back and forth, and enjoying each other's company. Here's hoping you'll be able to start your own lovely family, filled with genuine love.
I'm very sorry to hear about your familial misadventures. I hope you find some people to care about (and vice versa).
I've had times in my life where I've had no friends, it was hard for me as I think I'm naturally an extrovert though with introverted tendencies. Try to seek out a few friends... I seek out super kind, intelligent folk.. they are all I can handle. Much like these three. You can do it slowly but surely, soon you will have found your little tribe. Procreate if you can, family is great. I hope you can create your own happy community. You've made a HUGE start (the hardest part) by cutting out the toxicity.. now see if you can bring in a little love :)
Perhaps You might be surprised at how many other people have a similar story, and reaction to this video as well. Count me in this number. Anyone else?
I’m in a similar situation to yours, I just went no contact with my family and I’m very lonely. We need to find each other and make a small family of lonely, isolated folk together! ☺️
What a beautiful family interaction - I found myself laughing with them and feeling their love for each other.
A magnificent example of how to take topics and keep the discourse light yet pertinent. Thanks - So refreshing.
I truly love seeing a conversation like this with a father and his children where everyone is equal
So great to see Jordan in such good form. Julian is his own person and yet I see how much he has been informed by his childhood experiences. Both Mikhalia and Julian are very grounded and well rounded individualists. Thanks for the interview Julian.
