A father to those who never had one.

I was tyrannical, nihilistic and self destructive, at the end of my rope, spiritually and mentally, Jordan yelled into the darkness to tell me to turn around. I was on the cliff.

He sounds like he is crying. I do think he is quite passionate in his love of humanity. At times it sounds as if he is begging people to just think, just listen. I hope more and more folks do listen.

I listen to him every morning before I go to work.. He gives me courage like a father.. I don't have anybody so it feels like home somehow when I wake up super early, take my time with breakfast and just sit there listening to him before I go to school working as a teacher myself eventho I have a severe chronic illness.. I often cry but I still force myself out there..

The world would be a better place if had more people like Jordan Peterson. He tilts the scale to the greater good of humankind. His words have made me a better man.

This man has the power to nearly eliminate suicide. His teachings make me a better man. 32 and I’ve finally realized what’s wrong with me

It breaks my heart when he's talking about going through hard times and he keeps spinning his wedding band and getting choked up. I wish his family the best.

Jordan Peterson got me sober. Bc of this speech.

The greatest Canadian in the history of the universe

This man is a world treasure EDIT: lost a colleague today, she was such a gentle soul, had to come back for the part at 8:00-12:17

"When you are suffering, look for the beautiful things." This pulls you through 💗

“Pet a dog when you see one” i’ve heard this speech dozens of times and that hasn’t hit me until now..

Jordan Peterson represents one of the most intelligent, compassionate and positive people of our era. I got very tired of recycled "cereal box" motivation quotes, and I can always count on Jordan Peterson to find another way of articulating his message to his viewers in a way that makes you want to make immediate change for the better, with a purpose.

I'm 26 years old. When I was 14 I was offered an internship with NASA JPL out of high school. My dad declined because "science" not a field that would not provide me with a stable job. So my dad thought... When I turned 17 I decided I wanted to teach English... Come the age of 19, I was offered my first job teaching English in Japan. I declined because I wanted my dad to approve of me. He didn't think it was worth it. Again i set my sights on a new field.. 3 years of hard work led me to a relocation job in Mexico with great pay... again I declined because my dad thought it would be stupid.... I sit here now... lost... I don't know what I want to do... i dropped out of college because I went to for everybody but myself. Though I don't think its too late for me to go back. I can't go back without a clear vision. I've lost any passion towards Science... Cooking... English Teaching... I always felt I needed to prove myself to my dad... I'm constantly stuck thinking about what my life would have been like had I taken the JPL internship. Had I taken that English job... had I gone to Mexico.... Jordan you said nobody knows me better than myself.. and you are right. I should have taken the chance... I tried rationalizing my fear but I sit here now... realizing that my fear wasn't to fail... my fear wasn't to be stranded in a foreign country... my fear wasn't to be making little to no money as an intern... my fear was being rejected by my parents because of my life decisions... I know myself better than my parents ever will. They will learn to respect me though the decisions I make they may not agree with.... How can I influence people around me for the better, when I myself am stuck in inner turmoil... Thanks JP. You've opened my mind...

He's the father figure I've been searching for my whole life

I’m 26 years old and I’ve been depressed and suicidal because of my job for a year now. When I would listen to this at 10:18 min in I would weep. Today I walked out of my job and listened to the same part and I feel confident, happy, and courageous.

I love how passionate Jordan Peterson is, when he gets all choked up , he’s really special 🤘🤘

Listening to Jordan always makes me feel braver for some reason.

All the best to everyone who watches these videos and is trying to change their lives. It's comforting to know that there are so many of us who are trying to fix our lives. I don't know why I keep on going back to habits that I know are bad for me, habits that bear no fruit. I'm now 34 and kinda freaking out. When will the pain and suffering that I cause to myseld end? When will I learn to live my truth and do what I need to do to live a peaceful life. A life that has meaning. I just can't keep making the same mistakes. It hurts.

The truth is , for all human history fighting the good fight is necessary . In the end if you really want to end the darkness , suffer till you find light

The fact that this man can express these emotions, with that care and story telling, really shows not only his intelligence but how human he is.

This man changed my life

I wasn't financial free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my third house already, earn on a monthly through passive income, and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing in the financial market is a grand choice I made. Great video! Thanks for sharing! Very inspiring! I love this.

He's the most mis-understood person. He's incredibly caring and passionate. He's gotten me through so many bad moments. Now, instead of trying to get rid of suffering, I look for what it's teaching me. Thank you Dr Peterson! I'm forever grateful.

For the past two years I've been suffering with severe anxiety. I know I can turn this around. For me, for my family, for my kids.

This guy is for me the #1 positive influence of our time. Everything he brings to the table is constructive. A modern hero 🙏

This man is the total package. Amazingly passionate, incredibly intelligent, a realist, humble, loving and caring... just perfect in my eyes.

Having no mother or father and having gone through a considerable amount of trauma in my younger life, I have to say, Thank you Jordan Peterson. You help me be a better and more conscientious person. I will always carry your words in my heart and head ❤️, my loved ones and myself will benefit from your brilliant articulated understanding. We love you ❤️

Embrace suffering.

One day I want to personally thank him for the daily sacrifices he makes to get the words out to us.

As my fathers heart stopped several times last thursday, the lessons Petersen has taught me made me strong. I kept my head and did whatever I could to help my family and the medical personnel. I was able to comfort my father. I kept my brother who lives a few hours away (which i resent some) up to date. The next day he had a pacemaker installed and is doing well. We've talked a lot in the past few days and I know he's proud the man i am.

"Get yourself together, transcend your suffering, see if you can be some kind of hero, make the suffering in the world less!" -Jordan B. Peterson imo, the true key to happiness....🙏🏼

I wish I could have heard of Jordan Peterson earlier in my life. I'm doing well financially at 34 but I can only imagine what my life could have been personally and mentally. At least now, I can help my 6yr old son go down a better path then the one I felt compelled to fallow.

“You say to someone you want to have a meaningful life? Everything you do in life matters. That’s the definition of a meaningful life”. That’s profound 🧐

I wish I would have had Jordan Peterson in my early twenties. I may have been able to save myself and those around me so much heartache. Instead, I can start today.

Just know you are listening to the words of one of the most brilliant minds of our time. Dont give up

I imagine that so many men and women would not have committed suicide if they could have heard Jordan Peterson. Thank God I can go on were they could not because of him. Thank you Dr. Peterson. Thank you!

I stumbled across Jordan Peterson while listening to motivational videos. I know listening to videos who knew. About the same time my marriage ended, had to sale my home, no longer coming home to my kids every night. This had happened before about 2 years prior. I’m a recovering drug addict and alcoholic I relapsed two years ago in part because I couldn’t handle my family falling apart. This time after my second rehab and a desire to stay alive I decided I was going to face this and carry my responsibility as a father. Listening to Jordan has given my some much needed guidance. Just with my co-workers I realize that I can strive for good regardless of my current situation and I can pick up the heaviest thing I can and carry it and try to be a light to the world. I listen to everything I can get my hands on I will just listen over and over. I don’t fully understand how it works but it has helped me so much I have managed to stay sober, get through my divorce, buy a house, I try to view my job as positive and try to have some gratitude for what I do have and in some part Jordan’s lectures have helped me do that

I listen to Jordan Peterson because I want to possess his wisdom.

Every time I listen to Jordan I start cleaning up my house

Wow this video is worth thousands of hours of therapy.

This moved me to tears, sometimes we take life for granted. We let the days pass us by without accomplishing what means most to us.

Thank you Jordan Peterson 🌸 I love myself this year for the first time in my 28 years. And now I can go out and love the world in integrity and that feels amazing. You can’t unlearn this stuff.

This man makes me cry and cry. His existence and power to heal is just a gift to humanity beyond belief. I’m sober, I’m doing what’s meaningful and I’m being a better person because of JBP’s courage to pursue his mission. His legacy to human existence is unmeasurable. The ripple effect of his message will forever be. A true GOAT. A miracle to have him exist in RU-vid. Thank you, thank you, thank you. May God bless his soul and soon relief him from all the suffering we know he’s going trough.

This man has gotten me through the passing of my young sister, followed by my fiancé, then my father who was my closest friend, my mother, my middle sister, and my very best life long friend to suicide on the very next day. I was just about gone, and I am very very serious. Almost didn’t make it through. “I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become.”-Jung. “Sometimes I go about in pity for myself, and all the while, a great wind carries me across the sky.” This paired with my experience living in Thailand and the profound understanding of the meaning of gratitude. Saved my life and each moment moving forward is not only bearable, it is a beautiful blessing to behold. Thank you Dr. Peterson. You showed up like fate would have it. 🙏

Give us this day, our daily Jordan.

Jordan Peterson is wisest person in this century . God bless him and his family ❤🌌

Dr Peterson you have given soo many lost souls a positive direction to aim for. Wishing your wife pain free health and hopefully recovery from cancer and yourself a speedy and full recovery from those anxiety meds.

3:39 Talking to people who are agree with what you say is like walking around in a Desert. Damn.. So #POWERFUL!🔥

This man is a geniius. Simple as that.

Thank you for posting this. Jordan Peterson helped me from wasting my life with constant booze and drugs. Peterson said, "we all have a moral obligation to find meaning in our lives." He was right.

That’s why Jesus always posed his questions when he knew the answer. When your forced to answer, you arrive at the conclusion yourself. People shut their ears to facts all the time. Can’t do that when your forced to think, process, and answer. Good day everyone.👍💪❤️

I absolutely love this guy. Definitely saved my life. Thank you Mr Peterson.

I wish I started listening to Jordan Peterson early, he has made me a better person.

How does this man exist? He puts words to things we struggle so much to understand. We don't deserve him.

“What remarkably stupid things I am doing on a regular basis to absolutely screw up my life “... I was listening to this while sleeping and that line just woke me up ...whoaaaa🙏💪

I always come back to this video to reinvigorate my own motivation and refocus on my life goals. It fills me with determination. Edit: Thank you for the likes everyone! My advice is read his book, 12 Rules for Life. I'm halfway through it and it has been nothing but self-reflection, improvement and gaining new ideas and perspectives. Highly recommended. If you find that you don't have the time to sit down and read, download Audible and listen to it. Dr.Peterson himself narrates it which makes it very enjoyable to listen to! I listen to it while I'm driving and it's great. I wish you all the best in your voyage through life.

He reaches me the most when he's not just lecturing. At the start, he isn't just lecturing. He's pouring himself out on stage.

I can't comprehend the amount of hours I've spent listening to JP, and yet still I hear little nuggets that stand out..

His selflessness is incredible. I have never experienced that in any other person in my life ever. Not even once.

Thank you Jordan Peterson. I chose your outlook over an exit bag......true story.

Jordan Peterson I wish I had a teacher like you

I love this man. I battling major depression. Thanks

How I can describe my love to Dr. Jordan Peterson 🎇 . God bless him and his family. Is gift from God

I’ve been in a blank state recently, not knowing my purpose, not being happy with myself, being unable to sleep. I discovered Jordan and I now have hope I can find somewhere to point my life, a goal, a person, just something other than aimlessness

I thank God for Jordan peterson. Lord God bless you and your family

One of the most honest men on this earth

Peterson’s videos are getting a lot of people through a very dark time. What a cool guy.

I wish I grew up with Jordan Peterson as my father

“ Try to be a good person.”

Get well soon Dr Peterson. Thank you for your faith in people like myself.

All the thousands of young men, fermented in a world quick to nail you to a cross for anything remotely resembling a genuine or original act, who faced the toughest early years of molding and intellectual seeding without anything that might even resemble an honest father figure who could even accidentally string together a few bold words close enough to render them of any sort of fathomed moral worth remembering, let alone thrown up somewhere high enough for a young man to take aim upon and stumble toward a right way forward.. cant help but think of the endless lives saved by this man.. truly a shining diamond

thank you my good man, you will be remembered in history im sure

Get your will power Soo strong that your body and mind won't drag that same old mess into another day...

Referring to his dog still being alive in the book is beautiful, he's so generous to let us see how he looks at the world. His words are worth so much to me personally. Your a saviour sir 🙏

I'm actually really thankful to look at the comments and read that I'm not the only one who feels like Jordan Peterson is the father figure they never had or somewhat had but could never learn anything from. This man is a gem.

Id like to point out to all the people thanking Robert for bringing you out of darkness. Robert is inspirational… he speaks wisely and intelligently. He simply provided you with the information and insight. You’re the one who painfully applied his teachings… you’re the one who embraced life, Youre the one who broke down his lectures and books. Give yourself credit…You earned it.

I really hope Jordan Peterson realize how many people he has helped out grow by making these kinds of videos. I have been listening to these videos every morning while getting ready to begin my day and it has significantly changed my view to life for the better. Thanks Peterson

Later always becomes never. That's why when I need something done I just DO IT!

His words kill my stress and turn it into motivation.

Came across this video in a dark time in my life dealing with addiction.

"Of course your a victim! Jesus! Obviously!"

I’ve been listening to JP for a while....since the Sam Harris days. I had also read David Goggin’s book “You can’t hurt me” What I didn’t know was that those two were preparing me for what was to come. After 19 years of marriage my wife decided to call it quits....without warning. I was devastated.....absolutely devastated! After 5 months I still am in some sense. 2 1/2 years ago we left everything (jobs, friends and family) and moved to the southwest. We had a beautiful house, 6 figure income, etc. When she left I was 1800 miles away from all friends and family....and alone. It was horrible. I felt like my entire world had crumbled. After a week without sleep and what can only be described as etherial but in a dark, sinister way I remembered what JP said in his book.....”Stand up with your shoulders back”. That’s exactly what I did. I stood up and told my self I was not going to be a victim of someone else’s actions. Because I was exercising as a result of Goggin’s book, after every workout I would stand up with my shoulders back and revel in my accomplishment. I have since moved back to the midwest. I’m not lying.....it sucks (compared to my previous life). But I have everything I need and then some. I have a place to live, a job, my friends and family are nearby and I have a chance to move forward. I am picking up my suffering and carrying it. I am still nice to her because being mean and vindictive doesn’t make anything better. I would really hate to think where I would be if I didn’t hear those words that JP said.

Watch this every day for a month, it’ll change you.

Oh man..... that part about men in their thirties still being afraid of their dad's judgement just hit me like a ton of bricks.............

I met with the Great. Dr.Jordan Peterson. I prayer for the goodness in life that he stays healthy and lives long enough to deliver his gift of articulation from his observations and accrued wisdom to every person in the world.

So glad I stumbled into this guy

Thank you JP, you have changed my life. Just so you know.

The *MAN* who saved me.

Thank you for talking to me and waking me up from my Peter Pan life. You hit home with every sentence. All the time. Bloody Brilliant.

Jordan is the wonderful bridge between sense and nonsense. He transcends the worlds. Hes an empath. Rare type of human.

Everyone needs to give this a listen. A real long hard listen.

Man, I love this shit. No, he’s not perfect but he is such a damn good thinker - love it!

Jordan Peterson's advice and words of wisdom are like a punch in the face; you have no choice but to feel it deeply and ponder it, hopefully for a while and to the extent that it causes a sea change in your behavior or way of thinking where by the outcome is positive and enhances your life and at least some others as well.

Man, I feel like we need Jordan Peterson in this time now more than ever

I could listen to this man speak endlessly. He makes my mind much more alert to the world I live in and a will to make it and myself better. Please keep giving your pearls of great wisdom to the world .

I like him more than the stereotypical "motivational gurus" who spend an hour on the internet researching Law of Attraction then claiming they'll help you become billionaire in 3 years' time. No, Jordan Peterson is intelligent and non-BS. He wants people to be successful, but he also wants them to be good, productive human beings nonetheless. He doesn't care whether we become teachers, waiters, CEOs, scientists, etc., as long as we are accepting responsibility for our own lives and doing some good for the world.

The pain he conveys in his voice shows you that not only has he practiced what he preaches. But he genuinely feels the pain of other's and truly cares about the people he speaks to. Get well soon Mr. Jordan, so many of us are praying for swift recovery. But take your time coming back, don't push yourself too hard. We're not going anywhere and we'll be here when you get back.
