Me too. JP is closest thing I feel I had to a father in many ways. My mom who I love was married a few times but they didn't last long n I never respected herhusband. Looking back I do now just for putting up with her for any amount of time. She is terribly awful to get along with to this day. She lives with me n I still wanna strangle her daily but we manage. I still can't call a man sir... unless their grandpa age. My "father" lived in the same town as me but I never met him until I was 18... at a party I met my dearly departed coincidentally. We became drinking buddies of sorts and I could always tell it weighed on him. We don't talk anymore We have both moved but I never resented not having a father. I was in charge of raising my brother and took a strange pride in calling no one dad. However... I had a few freinds I would stay over with as a kid who had great families and I still miss those dinners and even working in hog houses and such. Now that I'm older I reflect on how my life could have been more now than then. One day afrer work listening to a podcast on history (jre Graham hancock) i fell asleep and when I woke up Jordan peterson's episode was playing. It immediately spoke to me and changed my life in an hour. My wife of 14 years had just passed and he couldn't have come at a better time. I hope someday I can tell him how much his message of hope and responsibility changed my life and how grateful I am. Even tho I don't my language skills would be able to adequately explain it. God bless Dr. Jordan Peterson

Happy belated Father’s Day Dr. Peterson. You’ve been a strange surrogate father of mine since I was 17, I am now 22. Your lectures helped me through my fathers absence, the death of my childhood best friend, the death of my mother, finishing high school, subsequent financial difficulty, getting into my university, finding a home, the death of my father, the pandemic, heartbreak and in handling my disability as I am autistic. I bought and read through all three of your books, watched every personality and biblical lecture, listened to every podcast and every interview and I even got to see you at the O2 arena in Dublin with Sam Harris and Douglas Murray a couple years ago. I am indebted to you for imparting me with hours upon hours of lessons I had never been taught before which instilled more belief in myself than I had ever had in my adolescence. So much so that it’s hard for me to identify with the person i was back when I was 17. Sometimes I wonder had my parents lived would they believe the person that I am today, the person Dr Peterson helped me to be. And though I’ve much much more to work on, I’m so grateful for your work Dr. Peterson. So, I hope you don’t mind me saying; Happy Father’s Day.

All sin such as lying and theft and lust cause people to go to hell. But JESUS CHRIST died in our place so we don't have to go to hell. Everyone dies so everyone will have to face the judgment of GOD. Through JESUS CHRIST you can be forgiven of all your sins. Everyone who doesn't follow JESUS CHRIST is condemned but if you turn away from your sins and confess with your mouth that JESUS IS LORD, believe that JESUS CHRSIT came back to life after the he died for you and put your trust for salvation in JESUS CHRIST you will be saved

I had began to follow your work from 2016 and slowly but surely your advice transformed my life.

Let me start with a thank you for this interview. It took me back to one precious gift I received over twenty years ago. I was given an opportunity to sit with my late Dad, while my Mom was at church. Sadly, he was on dialysis and too exhausted to go. I began asking Dad questions about his life, his happiest times, most painful moments, his Army service, and so many things. I was in my early 40s, he was in his 70s. The gift came when my Dad actually started answering! Never before would he do so. He would begin many of his answers with an opening like, “Don’t tell your Mother because these things about WWII, and family struggles could upset her…”. I was so shocked he was actually going to answer some very hard questions and realized that I wasn’t prepared. I asked him if he would mind if I grabbed a pen and paper so I could take notes to remember his answers. I can still see the surprise in his eyes at that question…he was so shocked that I felt his answers would be so important to actually write them down. Such a humble man, and yet he was, and still remains, larger than life in my mind and heart. They were married for 59 years and remained our protectors, our cheerleaders, our encouragers their entire time on this earth as parents. I see that in Dr. Peterson’s parents. I thank God every day for the parents he chose to place me with. Thank you for this interview. Such a blessing.

Really! I was lucky enough to have had some of that experience (less at home, but every Christian holiday we'd have meals with extended families) but I think many kids lately don't get any at all. I learned so many things just being mostly silent and just eating, but absorbing every minute detail around me as kids do. I didn't even realize what my brain was doing as I started down turkey. It was building the structure of who I would be from the most basic but unshakable foundation laid by nature and the materials it provided, and including what scrap and raw material in the immediate vicinity it could scavenge.

I have spent much time with him, traveled by motorcycle with him and gone target shooting with him on a regular basis and I have made peace with my past. I cannot say I love him but have made peace with him and can speak to him. Now in his 80’s he looks back and regales us with stories of the father he never was. It’s hard but I don’t want to spend time hating anyone. I find that anger diminishes me. And it will never change him.

Im 65, and I can relate to this deeply moving loving conversation. I was very close to my grandparents. I heard the family stories of the settlements in the northern states. You go back just a few generations, and the life west of the Mississippi in the Northern Territories didn't have a clear boundary between Canada and the US. The Dakotas became states when my great grandfather was 10 years old. My family was already in the US long before Jordans great granparents came from Norway. Families immigrated to where others had already settled. I was just talking with my son about the same thing JP spoke of in this video; of how attached we are to the ground/ territory where we were born and raised. It's very viseral. My grandmothers grandmother wrote a letter saying they were one of 11 white families west of the Mississippi in the Northern Territories. Im sure with so few people in the area of where the Dakotas, Wyoming, Montana were created that everyone knew of the incoming immigrants. The language would have been a barrier. But everyone understood how harsh the land was. Too this day I long for the open spaces. It is conceivable that my ancestors crossed paths with the immigrants from Norway. Mine were primarily Scottish, decendants of Norwegians.

The kids all helped and were curious and interested in all the tools. All of my kids grew up in the process of building this house for which we never had a mortgage. All of my kids have self educated , started their own businesses and are very independent people. All of them are very respectful of olde people , comfortable and playful with younger kids, and have pursued their talents such as music, theatre, writing, and personal business building. It was a challenge we had adversity such as accidents, cancer, and losses. My family is a team and we are always there for each other. I think we lived a life a bit like your Dad but out side of Austin , Texas in the hill country. Now we built and run a two cabin air be&b on our 29 acre place. This was a quite an adventure. We even built a home for my mother in law in northern Wisconsin when she had no place to live. My husband tells me stories of waking up early to follow his grand father on his rounds in the garden. For him it was magical. A big quiet grandfather with whom he drank Pearl Tea in the mornings as a little 5 year old. Stories about his root bear making in the basement. The house was warm and deep in the National Forest of Wisconsin. Berry picking, wine making, jam making, hours of reading and scrabble games. Swimming in the lakes. Riding horses . It was a heaven , cool and not like the Texas hot summers. All my kids are independent thinkers and self initiating and have spread this quality around and on to their kids.

When you lose that relationship, it can feel as though no one else around cares about you the same way she did. Sounds selfish but I miss that. You and I were fortunate enough to have that level of love in our lives, even if it didn’t last as long as we’d hoped.

@utajaha 2 года назад

It happened very early on so it was very normal to me to always treat life seriously. I just treated life as very precious. This is what happens when you have kids when you are young and the opposite is true when you delay having kids, life is not that serious at all. One of Dr Petersons main themes is this. Having kids gives a man direction, purpose and he learns to truly love unconditionally. The love from a man to child is unconditional, the child gives no material benefit back to the man. Mothers are designed to love kids but men have to discover this or switch it on. I don't mean to be sexist. This is what makes a woman amazing, she is love its self. Look at female animal mothers; it's amazing. But pop modern culture has been taking young men away from having a family, which is the source of mental direction, emotional purpose and learning to love and being addicted to love. Having a child and being dedicated to its happiness will teach man to love. If a man does not learn to love unconditionally and discover the seriousness of life then he continues to not live life itself. Life is to constantly give love to your loved ones.

I had a very toxic upbringing also. You’re not alone.

Peace you will find in acceptance. Sometime pain is a pathway and a learning tool in which we will find and understand what is good and what is not. Your past has made you a caring dad and thats something to be thank full for.

what did you change after you realized how important life is?

@@johnmachter40 It happened very early on so it was very normal to me to always treat life seriously. I just treated life as very precious. This is what happens when you have kids when you are young and theopposite is true when you delay having kids, life is not that serious at all. One of Dr Petersons main threme is this. Having kids gives a man direction, purpose and he learns to truly love unconditionally. The love from a man to child is unconditional, the child gives not material benefit back to the man. Mothers are designed to love kids but men have to discover this or switch it one. I don't mean to be sexist. This is what makes a woman amazing, she is love its self. Look at female animal mothers; it amazing. But pop modern culture is taking young men away from having a family, which is source mental direction, emotional purpose and learning to love and being addicted to love. Having a child and being dedicated to its happiness will teach man to love. If a man does not learn to love unconditionally and discover the seriousness of life then he continues to not live life itself. Life is to constantly give love to your loved ones.

❤The man behind the man. It was a pleasure meeting the senior Peterson. He was born in 1937, a year younger than my Dad. This will go down in the books as a great interview. I loved the way Jordan engaged and elicited responses from his Father. 'That I don't know,' he said more than a few times, yet recalled a whole lot. You can't get any more honest than that. I lament that generation dying off. The last vestment of decent, hard working men who in spite of lean times, stuck together n persevered. 🎉
