Jordan Peterson on taking responsibility for your life | 7.30 

Finally an interviewer doing there job without trying to bait Jordan. Proper interview with thoughtful questions.

“Life is very difficult and we all die”

It's good that this interviewer is actually listening to him.

She's a good interviewer. She's respectful and she listens, which is everything you want from one.

"They have to struggle uphill despite their excess burden" is the logical answer to her question. Whatever cards are dealt to you, you have to take responsibility.

I'm greatly thankful I find this man! His teachings saved me! From East Africa

reminds me of a real conversation with my grandpa with I was in my early life. It went like this, as I was crying to him at his favorite fishing hole: Me: But Grandpa you don't understand... Grandpa: P.P. "Sometimes life is not fair, but we are all born into a lot of life, that we have, some hard, some harder, some kids get it easy. That's not you." He told me saldy. "Someone will always be standing behind you trying to knock you down. And when you fall down and get mad, GEt UP! Pull yourself up by "your bootstraps" and prove to them that they are wrong." I never forgot those words. I wish the world were filled with a lot of old wise grandpas like I had until I was 40. I'm 60 now and miss him more than even, but his wisdom lives forever inside of me...

Good interview. It was nice to see that she didn't attack him. And she seemed to listen properly. Didn't expect this from the ABC.

I just discovered Dr. Jordan Peterson, and speaking as a female in Asia - I believe he is a godsend. We need more people like him - both male AND female - who have the courage and enough care in this world to speak about truth and responsibility while most people are stuck about rights and privileges. Thank you, Dr. Peterson!

So rare to come across objective journalism nowadays.

One of the most wholesome interviews I've seen with Jordan. The interviewer did a fantastic job. Well done!

"Some people have bad lives" "Some people just die" Savage

This is a real interview👌

I consider Jordan a real raw person that cuts through the crap. I resonate with this as I try to be realistic in life. Life is tough and a lot of things will not go your way no matter how much you want them too.

THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU OR YOUR WELL BEING. STAND UP FOR YOURSELF AND FIGHT THE HARDSHIPS OF LIFE!

If JP offends you, you could probably benefit a lot from his ideology.

This lady made all the hard questions the correct way, instead of doing them to slander the interviewer as anyone else seems to be doing journalisming these days

I can listen to this honest man the whole day without having a single second of passive listening. He is brave enough to speak the truth which he knows is going to offend masses. But yes his medicine is bitter but it heals.

If all the women he has spoken to were this professional.

This man is a genius, he speaks absolute sense.

He has such a warm smile. I wish him many reasons to share it.

A surprisingly fair interview from an ABC journalist. Thankyou Leigh Sales for being professional.

Well done to this lady for a fair unbiased and respectful interview 😁

"Some people just die and horribly" : Damn, one can't be more straight forward than that. Cheers to Jordan Peterson mate. That is the sad fu**ing truth. 🍻

This man has changed my life in so many ways, I couldn’t have even imagined. Never underestimate what you can learn from another human. I am just grateful.

The voice of reason in a world gone mad. Holding the line for all of us. May God bless him

*_That smile at the end was that of a person who was fairly treated in an interview. made me go "aww" xd_*

Dr. Peterson with a logical perspective as always. He's the man.

I appreciate the professionalism of the interviewer. Dr. Peterson brings up a point we often overlook: any time you discuss something important with another person, there is a chance one or both of you will become offended at some point. It's downright frightful to see a generation (in my country at least) taught they have a right to never be offended.

One of the very few people today that deserves the title of "professor".

The more I listen to him, the more I admire him. His level of objectivity and ability to communicate it so clearly in meaningful context is almost unprecedented. I'm glad he is around, and popular. He should be a consultant to the world leaders.

As a young boy, I was naturally responsible but then I was sent to boarding school and it was a 100% strict environment with punishment for everything. That messed me up big time. By the time I grew up, I hated responsibility and it showed in my life in every area. I now understand that in order to develop healthy relationship with responsibility, freedom of choice is Paramount. Had I not been subject to extreme levels of forced responsibility, I'd have grown up to be a healthy responsible man.. It took a lot for me to find my healing and change my patterns..

"I may not agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it". I don't know who said it but I think it encapsulates the sentiment nicely.

Wow. Media actually doing an appropriate job and representing Peterson fairly. I'm flabbergasted,

Hi there, the documentary The Rise of Jordan Peterson is now available to rent or buy from Vimeo here: @t or on iTunes / Google Play / Amazon from here: @t

I love JP. Incredible person. I also want to commend this interviewer for doing an ACTUAL interview. Good job. I honestly don’t know your political preference or your opinion on JP and that is how interviews are supposed to be. Thank you for being a real journalist

Aww! Look how happy he is at the end of the interview when he finds out that the Woman interviewing him was actually respectful & actually appreciated him being there & listening to what he had to say... Instead of just trying to either; trick him into a "gotcha" moment, or insult him the entire time, or just constantly & repeatedly try to put words into his mouth... Which unfortunately is what usually happens to Jordan. But not this time! And as a result, just LOOK how happy & relieved & appreciative he is to her at the end! You can just see how good of a person he is on the inside, and how people throughout his life have tried to take advantage of that & have caused him to develop a tough outer shell in order to protect himself, but yet despite that,just how good & kind of a person he is on the inside, & that he didn't let his adversity & struggle to cause him to become bitter.

The most important part of getting through this quagmire we find ourselves in is in my opinion at 4:29 BOTH PEOPLE in and conversation must seek the truth, not the power

Wow, This is a fantastic interview! Thank you Dr. Jordan Peterson, you saved my life!

I love the way he speaks and the choice of his words. Very refreshing.

I don't know who this woman was, but I would like to thank her for asking questions that allow Jordan Peterson to shine. Great material.

I tried thumbs uping the video, but it wouldn't stick, so I thought I'd comment instead. Jordan Peterson is such an inspirational thinker. I loved this video!

Godspeed Jordan . Hoping You the Best. Assisting with Prayer 🙏🙏🙏

Universities in America and I dare say around the world, seem to be more concerned with indoctrination than with education. Academia in too many cases wants to provide students with the "right answer". Professors all too often want to tell students WHAT to think rather than teaching them HOW to think.

I bumped into Jordan Peterson's videos not too long ago and I'm glad I did, read his book (though I haven't finished it and watched loads of his videos) it changed my life and I'm glad it did.

A person who showed respect for the other and which was recipocated. This is an excellent demonstration of a "conversation". We certainly need more.

I hope the interviewer reads the comments, she really does deserve praise for how she handles the interview.

He’s so articulate and he answers questions you didn’t even think to ask. And it all makes sense. You can see in your own life how these things are true. I would never think to explain the problems with mandated speech this way but this is exactly right.

Man with brains. A gift to our time.

I love the “Jordan mm-hmms”...so much meaning in each one. Such an active listener😍

Damn, he is good. He has the ability to explain and debunk difficult modern views which all the rest of us just get irritated in and have to walk away from in silent anger.

A respectable interviewer... hopefully others are out there taking notes.

This man changed my life for the better. Eternally grateful for that

Love Leigh Sales, top 3 interviewers (and a damn fine journalist in general) in the country. JP is good too.

I am thankful to Jordan videos.They helped me to take right decision in critical situations.There was an accident which was about to happen when I was on a bus moving along pit .At that time his speech came to my mind .it helped Joel to direct the driver to drive cautiously

i love Mr. Peterson''s analytical thinking process...gets me all the time...giggles.......but finally a decent interview with both sides showing a perspective view..not an argument or debate or unreasonable thinking...smiles....phew

A living Legend keep up the great work Sir Peterson.

a pleasure to see a real interview, with a intelligent journalist, who actually has read the book

I love this man and wish him all the happiness this world has to offer

Kudos to the interviewer. Very honest, professional, and straightforward. No one in the world has to be obligated to withhold their opinions or anything.

For me, a lot of my troubles stem from a lack of real love in childhood. Life is very difficult when you don’t know what love is.

Love this guy!

This is two quality interviews of Dr. Peterson that I've seen. So refreshing.

Love Leigh and how she interviews Jordan, with respect and engaged discussing.

I love him so much

Calm, cool, collected..

I thoroughly enjoy how the interviewer is actually listening and providing a worthwhile interview. Thanks

One of the best interviews ever.

Bravo! This professor makes my brain hungry. I want more of his thoughts!

No two people have the same challenge luck or outcome. None.

A man who speaks some very wise words and an interviewer that does not interrupt. Wonderful!!

If Ms. Leigh Sales is reading, I would simply say this: thank you. You did not recant from doing tough and crucial questions, you were respectful, listened carefully and smartly. This kind of journalism is almost extinguished. Keep that fire alive.

His smile makes me smile : )

Well stated sir.

Suprise suprise, there s still hope in the jornalism world,,,seeing this professional carry herself well in bringuing a great wise man s view in a well listened manner. What a awesome breath of fresh air...cheers.

I remember when a change of government occurred in Australia in 1986. The new Treasurer said there was a huge budget deficit left by the previously government. He said in parliament: "we did not create this mess, but we will take responsibility for it". He did indeed and got the budget back to surplus in a few years. This is analogous to what Dr Peterson is teaching. You can inherit a mess, but sometimes you have no alternative other than fix it. Simply blaming the previous government wouldn't help, just like blaming the past doesn't help. I have, for years, blamed my upbringing for certain aspects in my life. This video has helped me understand what it means to take responsibility for my life, instead of feeling resentful and abdicating that responsibility to my upbringing. Thank you Dr Peterson.

Yep. Whether you were born lucky, or not, there's no use in crying over it. Take what you have and start from there; don't dig a deeper hole, climb out of it, even if it's little-by-little, inch-by-inch. Keep moving, keep going, never give up.

Respect ..every word on point n important ..I appreciate..

so touching for an excellent video

Responsibility actually something very good.

Holy poop what a refreshingly good interview with JP 10/10

One of the best explanation!

one of the best interviewers ive ever seen in my life.. shes likely very educated. bless her

regards to free speech, Mr. Jordan Peterson, very well said

Amazing speaker for them whoever really looking for the truth

Ao nice to observe this and he smiled!

I just love this gentleman

"The devil is always in the details" omg....ouch

What a thoughtful, intelligent and on point interview and interviewer. A true professional. It was all about facilitating a pertinent dialogue for her guest, not for an agenda or for spectacle purposes, but to really hear what he has to say.

DAD I LOVE YOU

Damn ... This guy is good .. Fast talkers the world media is ...

Good questions Leigh Sales! Great Interview.

He is an amazing person that sincerely and truly does care about fellow man and women. One amazing mind right their. Just take 10 minutes and listen to this man. There are a lot of people that need that to listen to his speeches

It hurts when you hear the truth, and "hate speech" is the escape goat of all who believe in lies.

Responsibility = The ability to respond.

Finally someone who makes SENSE!!!

I think its a very important message that life isnt as easy for everyone but everyone should take equal responsiblity for both their negative and positve outcomes in life.
