The True Meaning Of 'Beyond Order' | EP 258 

Jordan Peterson literally changed my life. Brought me from a point in my depression where I had lost nearly every thing and could barely get out of bed and would cry in the shower and didn’t enjoy life at all….to having an apartment, having a job, getting an even better job, staying close to my friends, mending family relationships and putting my own life in order. Thank you, Jordan. ❤️all love and blessings and goodness to you.

This week I had to write an essay for one of my classes. I study Engineering, so that's not something we do often. I tried to do the best I could, and I also tried to write about something that I found meaningful. Yesterday, my professor told me that it was the best of the class. :)

"if you don't tell the truth, the world falls apart". My God, that's so true. I ended a long friendship because I couldn't ignore the silly and unnecessary lying. Ironically, I was lying to myself about being ok with it.

I love this man, he genuinely cares about people. For the fatherless he’s a great substitute, grateful for his words of wisdom 🙏

In a world going completely insane and celebrating it, you, Dr. Peterson, have remained one of the very few voices of sanity, and brave enough to speak out and reassure a whole lot of us who refuse to go along with that insanity, that we aren't alone. Thank you sir.

Jordan Peterson makes me think down more different paths than anything or anyone I’ve ever encountered.

I’m glad our comments comfort you! Jordan you have helped me realize at 52 that I didn’t ever give myself enough credit for my intellect. I am beyond sad that you felt you had to give up teaching. You are truly a gift to humanity and you would have been hands down my favorite professor if I’d gone to university. I love listening to your interviews and I have learned so much. Keep up your great work! You truly do make a difference! God bless you and your family ❤️🇨🇦🙏

Jordan , you changed my life! At 29 a girlfriend of mine I dated for three months called me and said I had a son and she never told me and that he was six months old at the time…needless to say I was shocked but somehow I saw your first book on audible and it taught me how to be a man. I now am 33 and I have half custody of my four year old son named Luke and I appreciate it very much I didn’t make a different decision about him when I easily could of considering the circumstances. Best decision of my life and your book played a big role. Thank you again sir.

My IQ goes up every time I listen to Jordan Peterson. I seriously learn something or learn a new way to think. He's a role model.

“the love of all beings flourish” well said. everyday prayers are based on this

I wish when I was a teenager knew the name of this incredible man, so I wouldn't waste so much time in codependent tendencies and getting along better with my family while I was younger, but definitely I can't deny that since I've found his work my life it's been much way better and progressively getting better without question, without his lectures it would take me years to get to that sort of conclusions. Professor Peterson I thank you for all of what you do.

Anything Jordan puts out will make you a better human 💯

It has been about a year and a half since the last time I really gave Jordan my attention. Jordan has the most genuine concern for humanity. The courage he has, to continually face chaos for the well being of others, is truly remarkable. He has given me the courage to face life head on. For the first time in my life I can say that I am making progress. I bought his book and began to read it. However, I only made it through the first chapter before I stopped. I knew what I needed to do. I got away from my home and got a job with an honorable organization that has taken care of me. I have a girlfriend I adore. And I have been working with a therapist and psychologist for 7-8 months. I have come from a mental state of pure resent and frustration to a state of acceptance, awareness, hope, and action. I have only scraped the surface of progress and still suffer from mental health issues. But I have found some order in my environment and in my mind. I am healing, slowly but surely. And I have developed a sense of self-worth. Jordan, thank you for your work. I hope you are well. -Garrett

You are a brother to all men, and we are all made stronger by your efforts. Thank you.

Apparently you hear this all the time but I hope you see this. I follow your channel and you've changed my life you made me WANT to tell the truth and know change is possible. My life is so much better and you have given me what I needed to get better and better and better Thank you so much God loves you and your family never stop performing miracles ❤️❤️❤️

20:52 'Practice love.' That's incredible, powerful advice. Thank you, Jordan. Find a value in things... in people, situations, struggles, failures... and act accordingly. Learn to embrace everything with love, and you will become invincible.

We are blessed to have him !

Thank you Dr. Peterson for your work. I wouldn't be where I am now without it. I don't know if I would be here. As a young man, you have been a positive figure, a role model for me. I had lost a job, a career path, was lonely, very anxious and depressed. Didn't know where to go in life and what to look for in the future. I now understand way better the world around me, the people around me, myself. I've started a new career path that seems to fit me better and where I can be useful. As someone really agreeable, I'm trying to say what I really think. I'm trying to mend my relationships with my family. It's hard. But what you said about Truth being in service of Love really resonates with me. Something completely changed when I realized I had the responsibility to become a good person. Now, what motivates me the most is aiming to build a family someday and become a good father.

Only Jordan can articulate the particular preponderance of such malevolent ideological hierarchies !! Or in the very least made us google search the meanings of so many words!!

Best book in 2021 I have read was.... 1. 12 Rules For Life. 2. Beyond Order. Both book have completely transformed my perception and seeing the world. Thank you So much Sir for your best contribution to the world.❤

Thank you most sincerely for your sacrifice Dr. Peterson. I don't know if it was worth it to you, but it has been everything for me.

Only a person like Jordan B Peterson, who feels deeply and honestly can talk and describe value so well.

Jordan is a man who has truly and deeply affected the world at large!! And that's no easy feat!!! What a loving, genuine, thoughtful, insightful man he is!!! And his level of care and concern is unmatched!!!

I'm very glad to have discovered Dr. Peterson. He hears it all the time but I would like to tell him how much I appreciate him. One big thing I've recently taken from his discussions is to make me think in ways I've never thought before. I think that's a big message of his. I work on personal responsibility everyday now and try to get just a little bit better everyday, and just try to be a good husband, father, and just a decent man. I can hold my back and head up straighter now because of it.

Thank you for your thoughts and also for keeping conversation diverse, intelligent and creative

Professor, thanks for being the way you are

Dear Jordan; Greatly looking forward to hearing you in Spektrum, Oslo later today! It is a surprise present to my 22 year old son, as I want give him something of value for life. Not quite sure whether he will appreciate it, actually, - but I sure will!

Chaos is a state of not knowing the "rules" of the game in any particular situation you find yourself in life. where the actions you take don't produce the expected results and you are left confused and feel powerless and anxious. Wow Jorden Peterson is a genius at breaking down the workings of the human psyche!

Jordan Peterson has changed a lot of people's lives, including mine. we are so grateful for this guy.

Damn Sir. You are truly one of the all time greats. Pulling an entire generation of young men from the pile of lies we've been telling ourselves. Bravo. Let's keep up the show

Unconditional love, the desire for everyone to flourish no matter what, fed by truth is an enhancement to my way of thinking. Thank you Jordan.

Thank God Jordan decided to share his knowledge with the world ❤️.

"We dont just perceive the world,but our actions manifest in to reality as per our desires.." ADVAIT philosophy !!👏👏👏👏

I just finished Beyond Order today, I’ve read Maps of Meaning a couple years ago and I’ve still to read 12 rules for life but I thoroughly enjoyed Beyond Order, the layout of the chapters and the focus on each theme within a chapter made it comprehensible and easy to pickup and read even after putting it down for a day or two as the themes are hit home so effectively that everything registers much more easily than in maps of meaning for sure. Although I know that’s the work from which the other volumes derive their content and that is clearly what Peterson was going for making them accessible and practical to follow. I have been going through a rough period of late and the last chapter; ‘be grateful in spite of your suffering’ resonated so profoundly with me that I was attentive to each word printed on the page. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in self help as it pertains to psychology, anthropology, philosophy and even spirituality. Thanks for writing the book in a trying time in your life Dr Peterson as I know it must’ve been hard. It has payed off tremendously I assume as I imagine it has helped not only me but many others to navigate their lives in trying times. The fact that you wrote it in such circumstances testifies to the resilience of the empowering messages throughout the book as it concerns the development of the individual.

Love hearing you speak, even if I don’t fully understand or agree, you’re always so respectful that it’s easy to learn from you-thank you!!!

Maps of Meaning was the best of his books by far.

Thank you Dr. Peterson. I have studied every book, video, and lecture you have put out and I am always amazed. You speak in such a way that brings humanity together. I have learned to think critically and logically through you. You have inspired me to become the best version of myself. I have the deepest respect for your work and your mind.

Thank you Dr. Peterson. This video really helped me understand why I'm struggling in life. I now realize that I never fully integrated in our culture. I always felt like an outsider never really fitting in. I'd convinced myself that the problem was with others, now I understand that my attitude of non-conformism has been hindering me from having positive relationships and making my life chaotic. My temperament is liberal and I am predisposed to negative emotion. Not a productive combination. Eventhough I changed my outlook on reality to be more can-do and optimistic it didnt have the results I expected because I never established an identity that satisfactorily conforms to society. So I've been living in a feed back loop without knowing it. Clarity, its beautiful feeling.

He knows so much that whatever he says is just knowledge!😍 A fan from Nigeria☺

The same things Dr. Peterson is saying about abandoning your isolated self to become part of the functioning unit is so spot on what I went through. I was consciously doing that while not 100% abandoning my Self. There has to be an "averaging out" of some type of socially normative behavior that everyone follows to maintain some type of homostasis... A "touchstone" to always return to when life gets to crazy.

Dear Dr. Peterson Thankyou! I have told my children, that if western culture avoids the iceberg it looks headed for, in large part it will be thanks to your prophetic love and courage. Our will to live our best lives and encourage others to do the same are encouraged by you. Thankyou!

What a wonderful conversation ❤️ Thank you Dr. Peterson for giving us true knowledge .

How can you listen to this guy and not be capivated, moved and enlightened. Like many others i truly believe Jordan is saving my soul. I have the 12 rules on my wall and practice them in my time of need. Thank you Dr.

This dude has a secure grasp on reality and the connectedness to the world we live in. Excellent Professor.

genuine person searching for the truth and is willing to change if needed and can rationalise it while doing it, that is human curiosity at its best. Thank You

You are such a beautiful and caring person. Thank you Jordan ✝️❤️

Glad to see you spoke with Tom Bilyeau. He is one of my favorite people and has helped me change my life more than any other.

Always appreciate your insight this hit a lot of spots for me im struggling currently with, I am fighting with myself if I am right or wrong in my path and it is extremely stressful and debilitating for over a year but I chug a long on doing the best I can. As far as I'm concerned it's suffering but it's not pointless anymore since I am aimed at something. Hope everyone is finding success and love in a tumultuous time, I know relief will come in one form or another.

Dr. JP, Please tell us you are in good health. The World and we all personally need you in our lives!

Jordan, thank you for thinking so thoroughly upon these most fundamental ideas and choosing to share them publicly. Your exposition on them-and your analysis of Scripture-has allowed me to build a very robust model of the world that makes sense of so much of my experience. May the Lord bless you and your family. May he keep you physically healthy and strong.

I have ADD and BPD. I get what your saying. So I have my brain on 2 and trying to sponge up more info. I'm 57. Bringing out my inner gifts. I do accomplish things as soon as I speak it into existence. May take 5 years but i do as say. I learn from failure. I love it sometimes because around the corner is better.

So blessed by your teachings JORDAN 🙏💕

Dr. Peterson is a clinical philosopher, if you will, of the highest caliber. Godspeed.

This is why a structured subjective nihilistic approach to what defines hope, meaning, and purpose is so important.

Thanks for your help. It made a great difference in my life.

Just Thank You! So much! I was trying to bounce back from relapsing on a really bad habit of mine. And this was the best way to just calm myself down and focus and take a listen and learn something from you. Thank you for your wisdom Jordan Peterson! Like Thanks a bunch!!

Love you so much Jordan !!! Thanks for your work !! 😊❤😊

Mr Peterson, thank you for sharing your knowledge. You make me think about life, people, society, because you can bring under words, what I actually often already know, exists as a background noice. It is so interesting, I am not even capable of, knowing me, how do I function and why, yeah how to put it , you really help me think as an individual, very many loving thanks for that & keep up going and let the world think about what is doing

I love you. We love you. Keep on writing. Keep on speaking. We will bring the love. You bring the truth. We will learn to advance toward balance sooner in our lives due to your incredible and hard work. Bless you.

it is amazing to see someone talking with so much passion and compassion about sensitive and important topics

Jordan Peterson leading us into the age of wisdom. I am so thankful for your efforts.

Saint Dr Peterson, in his advocacy of the compelling need to practice TRUTH

Jordan Peterson, you seriously changed the trajectory of my life and put me on a path of higher meaning. Thank you.

Yes Jordan , You have helped me grow a lot over the past few years . I do feel in a much better place . A friend put me onto you in 2018 with some podcasts and then I found you on youtube . Thank you.

The knowledge and understanding I got of the universe and the depth of life and psychology from this man is immeasurable for me. Listening him was the only time that I made sense of what the f was going on in my life and how to manage through it. Or at least that it's worth giving sorting it out a try.

It’s good to know his positive effect on people brings him comfort. He has his battles, and I’m thankful for everything he has done. When I first saw Peterson I was an overweight anxiety ridden kid lacking a father figure. I binged every one of his college lectures, interviews, etc, before he even wrote his first book. And it radically changed my life. With his influence, and a few others, I shredded my weight, developed a profound, more positive outlook on life. I became a coach, a trainer, played basketball in college. I obtained my dreams. I’m now in the army, stationed in Hawaii, and am engaged to the best woman I’ve ever known. This man’s influence took a scared, overweight kid from nothing, and helped mold him into a dude jumping out of black hawks. Thank you, JP.

Jordan, you are my guide in dark times. I hope you will someday read this. Thank you so much, from the bottom of my hearth.

God bless you Dr. Peterson. In this culture of broken families you truly are a voice needed today. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏❤️

I finally found an explanation for the meaning of "love" The wish for anyone to flourish! OMG!!! That makes sense! Thank you Dr Peterson.

Jordan Peterson should be MANDATORY listening for everyone on the planet. Only GOOD can come from it. Inspirational is a word that nearly describes him and his want to share his knowledge.

Doctor Peterson I had the honor to shake your hand yesterday in Zagreb. I did not have words to thank you enough for what you have done for so many. I’m really glad of seeing you recuperated and along your wife. I whish you all the best and good health for you and family.

There is only one word needed to describe Dr.Jordan Peterson and it is : Brilliant

I am a better person, wife and mother because of you, Dr. Peterson.

Chaos is a change engine it sucks but a strong person can navigate it with the strength they navigate thier daily lives. Enjoy the ride.

Dear Mr. Peterson, you are the reason I could survive a trauma that has been terrorizing my mind for a long time.....its a miracle I am even alive today.

Thank you Jordan Peterson. You help me be a better person. For real...thank you

Thanks from France. Always a pleasure to listen to you, thank you for your enlightening words in these troubled times. Thanks too to the people who did the subtitles!

You are a beautiful soul Jordan Peterson, I am rooting for you buddy

Just listening to you has changed my life in so many ways for good. Thanks a ton! ❤️

I appreciate the way the interview is done, Less interjections, more time given to develop thoughts fully. -- I'm learning how to interview in the process, and how to listen.

You're a very very special smart beautiful individual and I wish you all all the best, honestly 💚

So crazy how this exact video comes up at this exact moment! Man it's powerful

Dr. Peterson - you are on a mission.... a mission to open everyday people's eyes - a hero's mission , that is being fulfilled in a grand scale. You make people think - you introduce a wake up call in some and a revision of their own belief system a d/ or thought process in others.Thank you for that. You managed to do the impossible - the take peoples focus of victim mentality when it comes to order - and put responsibility in their own thinking , acceptance and choices. A massive turn around...❤️🙏

Jp have so much Love inside of him. He is trying to show it in everything he say... An amazing amazing person!

13:18.....My Favourite part...about the book Title and also the chicken Joke.😁

I’m so glad this man was born to teach us. I can listen to this guy talk forever. Hope he can come to NYC some day.

Pescador de Hombres, thanks so much. There's only one problem that I had reading your books, and listening to you- I BELIEVE YOU, and if I believe you, that means that I AM RESPONSIBLE. That means that I'm in control, although I control nothing. I'm so grateful for you. Thanks so much! Dios te bendiga!

I wish RU-vid would have a heart ❤️ feature. I’m certain you already know, but you have had a positive impact on probably millions of lives and I would go on a limb stating, that many of whom are probably alive today, because of you. Thank you for making these videos and sharing them with us. 👍

Your videos are an inspiration, I find myself quoting you at times, things I've learned from you come in really handy personally, and as supporting arguments. Thank you for all that you do. All we can do is fight the good fight.

Thanks Peter for always sharing your ideas and insights! I get strengths from you like always~ Please keep up the great work!

When I listen to Dr. Peterson speak about evolving yourself into the hero, he always makes me think of my father’s personal evolution. They remind me of each other. My father was a very happy, loving, settled young man. He had a loving family, a deep faith, and a good life path that he’d planned doing something he loved, he had gotten his degree in journalism and had begun his career as a sports reporter. It didn’t matter at that point that my father was a sensitive and very caring person. It wasn’t dangerous to be. But then came the horrors of World War II and he found himself thrust into a world of chaos, fear, violence and cruelty. In the midst of this nightmare, one of the few things that allowed him to reorder himself in the best way and function was to become a good leader, showing courage for his men, learning when a man would be helped by a joke, a firm word, a nod of head, silence to allow them to regroup. He came back into the world both the same and yet very different from the easy, happy young man he’d been. He used all those skills he’d learned in the war not only to raise all 11 of his children, but he used those skills to help our community as well. He was a hero, he was courageous, he was loving. The war did change his life trajectory. He went back to school and became a doctor and moved across the country into a place with very few doctors. The war broke him but didn’t destroy him. He made a beautiful life of the two selves, but beauty and suffering drew the same piercing response from his soul for the rest of his life. Something could be so beautiful it would pierce his heart with an emotion beyond joy and make him cry. Other things, even simple bad things like a lonely spinster, would cause him piercing suffering beyond sadness and also make him cry. I see all of that in Dr. Peterson. The only thing I can’t see, and it is most probably because Dr. Peterson is a stranger to me, and who can read the thoughts of of another person’s heart, is that my father was always deeply grounded in his Catholic faith. It helped him see things from an infinite perspective, where all things work together for the good, and his joys and pains had a purpose. Dr. Peterson probably feels those same things. It’s difficult for me as a stranger to understand how to work through that without the roadmap I was given by my parents. I see a beautiful soul in Dr. Peterson. It struck me so strongly when he said “What is true?” So closely echoing the question Jesus posed to Pilot, and thereby to us, “What is Truth?” When I take myself out of the story of the passion at that part, I always think Jesus was practicing the Socratic method with all of us. 🙂

Mr. Peterson's mind is a miracle.

I'm one of those people that you helped. it was nice to be educated about my shadow and understanding archetypes. I became a real man. responsibility is the meaning to life

I love his humor hehe❤ gifted by the most high.

Have to get my daily dose of Jordan Peterson.

I feel smarter everytime I listen to Jordan Peterson. My world is not falling apart because I'm telling the truth 😛

You are amazing in your ability to make sense and speak truth about how to live in A world of chaos. I love listening to you speak as you clarify for me how to go forward with my life as it has been incredibly chaotic and as I result I developed MS. Don't ever stop trying to educate people. Again you are an amazing human being. xo

beautiful deep thoughts. big love Jordan, so much to learn from such a great mind

Thank you foe your Wisdom and considerate sharing of this.

Thank you so much for beyond order it’s helped me evolve past a point I never could imagine even after reading 12 rules for life! Thank you Jordan Peterson; it truly was an honour to finally meet you in Montreal 🙏🙏🙏
