Jordan Peterson Reveals His Thought Process and Writing Techniques 

"Often when you're writing and you reread it, you read what you think you wrote... because you still have the ideas in your head that are part of the cloud of ideas... and it's not until you forget the context, in some sense, that you can actually see what you wrote."

This person is just phenomenal, i can’t even describe how lucky and privileged i feel to get to read his books and watch his videos , he touches the deep truth inside me and when i listen to his words truth and a clear wise vision manifest its self right infront of me

From day 1 it was clear to me Dr.JP was brilliant in every sense of the word. This portal into his intellectual work ethic gives us a glimpse into both the “why” and “how” simultaneously.

51 seconds in and I am worried the interviewer is going to continue interrupting one of the most brilliant minds on the planet!

The question the interviewer asked was exactly what I was wondering in it’s amazing.

Excellent! Great illustration of the writing process.

a great interview! I appreciate the dedication and craftsmanship JP puts into his writing.

Brilliant questions. Brilliant answers. Thanks Pat & JP 💗

Interesting! I need this. Thanks.

Hats off for the question. 👍

I happen upon this write as I am taking a break between sections of a book review that is coming up on the deadline. Fortuitous.

Fantastic. I became very emotional. It's so precious to me. Million times THANK YOU SO MUCH.

This is great to hear. I use a number of these techniques myself, often taking considerable time to finalise a paragraph or sentence when writing. Its reassuring to know that I'm not being perfectionist. That has been my major concern, that it is a roadblock to progress. Instead, I now know that I am just maximising my ability

Absolutely brilliant advise - thank you

Thank you, gentlemen!!!👍

As always, Jordan Peterson is SPOT ON. Thank you.

What a great way of organizing thought,

He's an honest smart man who has the power to influence the unprivileged turning to be privileged. I've read his book and now I'm aspired to an author. Because makes me feel good everytime I right. I right extensively everyday in my journal, ordinary paper, and so forth that free me to explore other ideas that are popping out of my head. We're grateful to have him.

It would be so crucial to have Jordan Peterson be a lecturer in every high school in America

Just to be clear. -Thoughts can be organised as fictional avatars of yourself and basically counterdicte them in order to be more organized and articulate your thought process from the fictional world ( your brain) to the actual physical world. This is actually useable to manage your everyday life, and make it more fruitful. - when you engage in any activity you process during your productive hours might they be , homework, job or a project. You can break down the process to built-points or head lines and keep breaking until you reach the baseline of such activity and use the method listed above to make it as better as it can get. This man is a genius!!! P.s:_ the comment is might be sore for the eye of professionals in writing and native speakers of the English language (ie. Run on sentences. Incorrect placement of punctuation marks. Grammar mistakes) and I apologise for that. I'm merrily learning how to write and read the language and if anyone have any tips, your help is much appreciated.

I can tell the fact: I have a bunch of friends who are writers. Everyone writes a different style of literature, but the fact is that all of them are absolutely amazing in critical thinking.. so you know what to do if you want to become smarter😅

I love this guy. The world needs leaders like him.

Well said

This is gold.

This is the master class I was looking for.

I also talk to myself cuz when my mind is working its kinda like a machine that needs to process some issue. But I'm a slow writer. It's easier to just verbalize it (& argue like how JP described). If i don't, then my mind will be like a machine that overheat and i need to shut it down.... Meaning I'll go around wasting time trying to prevent this "machine" from running again...... I'm easily distracted so if i EVENTUALLY find a person to discuss something then it i might ended up being distracted w the person im having the conversation with. Cause I'm a good listener & observer....

I'm very well uneducated and wish to articulate myself and understand more, politics is something I've been trying to comprehend for many years now and the thought of trying to break down what politics even is, is very overwhelming. Any advice on where to start in order to get an idea of what politics is and how it affects me?

He uses the technique of the book "Moonwalking with Einstein".

Ok, that was damn helpful.

0:55 Can someone leave a link to the lectures he is refferring to?? I want to picture this "theory" a little more

Fascinating 🤔

I think sir Peterson is talking about something called elaborated rehearsal at the starting of the video which he says that he plug the new info. With something theory or believe that u already know

whats this Brave Browser meeting?

Book writing @ 5:40

Which lectures is he talking about?

How do you know what to write about? I've struggled to know what it is I'm meant to write about. Jordan mentions writing about what you think of the things you read about, and I don't know any more than the author so all I'm going to write about is what is already written on the page. So what do I do?

The phenomenon JBP is talking about is Memory Palace

That's how it is shown in Sherlock series. Memory palace. Much difficult to actually do it.

The beloved psychologist. ❤

2:29 ínside Jordan's head "you are a proud crab ain't ya"

He sounds like Michael Scott

Osm b man

Idea to interview J. B. Peterson is brillant. Idea that Peterson was interviewed by David, in this stage, well …

Valuetainment is people for people mlm

Shout-out to Jordan for handling this guy's constant interruptions how he did. Interviewer needs to sit back and listen.

I'm a prolific author but my writing process is more intuitive. I can understand how being as minutely methodical as Dr. Peterson can be helpful to a would-be writer just finding their feet (or prepping their pen), but tbh I don't think that re-writing a sentence fifty times (if I understood him correctly) is time-efficient; and it's not sustainable or even something I would recommend if someone has a lot to say and a virtual library stored within. You'd be writing for hundreds of years ... and ain't none of us got that kind of time. Of course, there are many roads to Rome and many avenues leading to Amazon (etc.) bookselling, but what has worked for me is developing my instinctive feel for the wording I craft or produce, by reading quality literature (including classics), penning poetry, listening to gifted orators, and journaling (to name just a few). And, yes (of course) this would all take time to really soak into our writing-ability psyche, but it would be more economical (from a literary standpoint), in the long run. If you write intuitively you can jump from sentence one (your draft sentence) to your perfected sentence in well less than half the attempts that going through fifty rounds of editing would take. Much respect to Dr. Peterson, but just thought I'd offer an alternative strategy ...

Who cares what the other dude wants to say? He is there to ask questions! But he goes on and on!

Here’s the thing. If you’re writing an essay for an exam you don’t have the opportunity to wait a few weeks to come back and analyze it so what does Jordan Peterson do under a time limit?

I just sent this video to my husband 😂 he always made fun of me that I think in boxes stored in different rooms or In pictures and pro and against my own self 🤣🤣🤣

Jordan Peterson must be a scary professor man! he is the type of professor that you love to attend lectures to but very hard to pass in his class!

Is it memory castling? The technique that he talks about?

The best writer doesn't exi.... JP: hold my lobster

3:40 4:20

he could've been a pianist

You have to know how to think before you can write. A sick and twisted mind can influence people just as well as a normal person can. The key point to writing and speaking is knowing the rules to rhetoric ...

I've just learned about the Intellectual Dark Web. This needs to be more publicized on the internet, more pushed out...

Ok good

Mbti GROUP! Thoughts? Seems Ne but its difficult to pin down!

The host completely dominated this. I can to watch Peterson, not this mans ego.

Smart people don’t use deep words so you can’t understand them but smart people want to share knowledge like explaining it to a kid thats why JP is OG

why the other dude cant make his questions short？

How are his saccades fast even if he’s on benzos????

Basically a mind palace

Mind Mapping?

This is Jordan Peterson and all but man, that interviewer was fantastic once he stopped talking over Dr. J.P

rick grimes' so classy nowadays

You read what you think you wrote... Damn

My fear of this editing style is the possibility of over-editing to the point of it becoming pretentious, especially in word choice. Those of you who are more apt in your writing than in your speech might relate.

He wrote every sentence in maps of meaning 10 times... just let that sink in.

This is Extraordinary😅he's to op

The interviewer holds a PhD in interrupting the interviewee

The host person does not even let JP talk 🙄

I’d never put that much effort into a class 😭 maybe a personal project but definitely not for a grade lmfao like I’m paying for school AND you want me to break my back writing something I don’t care about?

The interviewer did a bad job. "A used car salesman test driving a Ferrari!"

as someone said genius is to know how to hide your sources

The interviewer seems more interested in hearing himself talk than listen to Mr. Peterson. This is also a takeaway from the video: Don't be like this guy.

people cant take the fact that science does not have the answer for all

The interviewer was kinda annoying. He kept interrupting Peterson to get in his own word, whether it was a question or not. He interrupted with a lot of unnecessary comments. I would have liked to hear Jordan Peterson just explain himself without having to worry about the interviewer saying something. It’s an interview, not a conversation.

Jordan Peterson runs laps around PBD intellectually. I can see it in PDS’s face.

JP IS THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST (sry for being a weak, simp fanboy) but he is the father figure that i never had. i listen to his lectures on the weekends, and they always have at least 1 profound concept that blows my mind. he gets so excited when talking with other intellectuals on a similar level. then there are those who, in an uneducated, sophomoric attempt try to discredit him, fail miserably like cathy neuman and the most recent UK times interview. if you suspend disbelief, and consider what he's saying, it's all helpful, without being arrogant

Let my man speak. Jeez...

this stuff is deadly 😷

This interviewer is terrible.

For a Channel Named "Intellectual Dark Web".... They sure have a bias for Peterson.

the interviewer is pure evil

You are so much like me, i don't like you, bro..

I didnt click on the name Jordan Peterson to listen to the interviewer talk more than the interviewee. He has to be egotistical.

This guy likes to listen to himself talk.

The interviewer is insufferable

Terrible interviewer, just terrible.
