In this first of two sessions hosted by the C.S. Lewis Society of California, Paul Vander Klay discusses the insights of renowned psychologist Jordan B. Peterson in his international, best-selling book, "12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos." What does everyone in the modern world need to know? Peterson’s answer to this most difficult of questions uniquely combines the hard-won truths of ancient tradition and Judeo-Christianity with the stunning revelations of cutting-edge scientific research, distilling the world’s wisdom into 12 practical and profound rules for life.

Humorous, surprising and informative, Peterson’s book tells us why skateboarding boys and girls must be left alone, what terrible fate awaits those who criticize too easily, and why you should always pet a cat when you meet one on the street.
What does the nervous system of the lowly lobster have to tell us about standing up straight (with our shoulders back) and about success in life? Why did ancient Egyptians worship the capacity to pay careful attention as the highest of gods? What dreadful paths do people tread when they become resentful, arrogant and vengeful? Peterson journeys broadly, discussing discipline, freedom, adventure and responsibility. "12 Rules for Life" shatters the modern commonplaces of science, faith and human nature, while transforming and ennobling the mind and spirit of its readers.
Paul Vander Klay is a pastor in the Christian Reformed Church of North America.

The woman who spoke at 1h24m, the mother of 3 boys, was wonderful to hear. It is a great encouragement to me when I hear someone who can explain modern culture with such clarity, and to teach her children properly. To that womanI I say Bravo!

Using that phrase 'spark of the divine' makes me think of Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte uses that phrase as well.

A truly excellent lecture. I'll listen to the Q&A later.

One of the key elements to the self help genre is the sense that what you’re hearing isn’t new. That it’s tapping into something you may already know at a deeper level but haven’t been able to reach. Peterson does this very well, but moreso, due to his background and study, he shows you that not only does this all feel familiar, but he can draw the lines of truth through science and myth and human psychology. On one hand it is just a self help book, on the other it’s revivifying the “God” of the west for the modern era.

As soon as the audience started talking and asking questions I was ready to be disappointed but wow these people were smart and good to listen to.

11:55:00 I believe Paul was referring to Peterson's discussion with Sam Harris.

@davidhawley1132 5 лет назад

I agree there is objective meaning, but we cannot know it because the scope in both time and space necessary for accurate evaluation is finally beyond us. But we can get a useful approximation over the span of a couple of generations.

At 1:45:32, the gentleman speaking says that there is something objective that Peterson "clings to." I agree with that sentiment. It's part of what gives Peterson's words power. However, when the speaker said these words, I was immediately reminded of something Nietzsche wrote in Thus Spoke Zarathustra. It captures the paradox of Peterson's subjective-objective balancing act (and I wonder if this is what Peterson thinks of, too, since he loves Nietzsche): "...if you have a virtue and she is your virtue, then you have her in common with nobody.” Even naming one’s virtue would make her too common; if one must speak of her, it should be: “This is my good; this I love; it pleases me wholly; thus alone do I will the good. I do not will it the law of a god; I do not will it as human statute and need”." Thus, we get Peterson's reticence concerning universality, but paradoxically, his universally commanding words.

Jordan Peterson is a great man. He is saving the world.

@karenbolton9526 5 лет назад

Jordan Peterson or Obama. Ha ha no doubt Peterson would have better chance of saving world

@ciarandudley3800 5 лет назад

Great talk. It seems to me that Peterson-like most Canadians-equivocates because he is all too aware of his own limitations. That is, he doesn’t quite feel like he’s earned the right to the True until he’s achieved the Good. Practice trumps theory for Peterson. Pelagius, anyone?

It seems to me that Jordan’s difficulty in claiming belief in God stems from laying hold on the idea that Jesus is the personal Savior of each individual and that in reality he paid the price of each individual’s sins before Justice. If you watch his videos, he always talks of things like repentance and restitution for your sins. But, I have never heard him speak of expiation. He always speaks of change for the better, but never the Ram in the thicket before the dagger falls. He gets the turning from part of repentance right, but not the turning to. If it is true that the requirements of Justice are swallowed up in Jesus for those that are exercising faith in him, earnestly trying the best they can to follow him, then the perfection of behavior that he speaks of can be a product of time, rather than right now. Such a person can say “I believe in God” even though he/she is not perfect yet. Certainly the cleansing of sin through Jesus requires that you take repentance and obedience seriously, but perfection then becomes a process; difficult and requiring time beyond our mortal years, but it is possible. Say you believe that parents should love their children. Under Peterson’s thinking, unless you are perfect in your loving your children, you cannot claim to believe it to be a true principle. You may be trying to love them the best you can, but perfection is the only time you have the right to say that you believe parents should love their children. Surely this cannot be true. A covenant relationship with Jesus brings the blessings of a future perfection into effect in the present, giving us a forward thrust as we strive to shape our lives little by little to eventually become like his.

I think that Dr. Peterson's gift is that he does not in any way believe in magic.

@vixendixon6943 5 лет назад

Thomas Leonard Sr And it is a gift for sure. People who don’t have the gift are prepare to explain away the real magic of the evolution of the human beings to a cognitive level that questions its own existence.
