Where Does Your Personality Come From? 

The “In filth it will be found” statement hits a home run.

I have been watching Dr Peterson's videos for about 3 or 4 years now... I have found myself with the ability to articulate my thoughts to a more diverse audience... I have even expanded my vernacular. Being from the south of the USA ,I stand out, like a sore thumb😅

I can listen to J. Peterson all day!

Man those lectures are priceless

Wisdom in motion. it's like he speaks to the thoughts directly that you don't need to think about what he is saying but rather have him as part of your thoughts while listening

These ppl have no clue they are learning from a LEGEND...

Damn " You always learn when you are wrong" Painful yet Joyful

Thank you so much for posting your lectures, you help so many people so much, I wish you well.

Telling off-color and offensive jokes at parties of mixed company is my specialty.

I was literally just discussing this with my wife today. I like Dr. Joe Dispenza’s play on words: Your personality is your “personal reality”. Our whole reality shifts when one core belief, thought process, behavior, word, etc.. changes. When forgiveness and understanding have their way. Identity takes root. That fundamental algorithm of being changes drastically. Right on time with this one 🙏

These lectures are so inspiring. I am so thankful that we can so easily hear what Jordan has to say.

Every freakin sentence, true. It’s incredible the wisdom he brings. When the disciples said to Jesus, “Where else will we go? You have the words of life.” I find a parallel with Christ. And before someone comes in saying, “just listen to Christ and not Peterson.” I believe God created Peterson to bring us words for life TODAY. And this does not invalidate Christs teachings, it testifies to the words of Christ because they agree! God is that big and that good. And I believe each of us are called to find that truth within ourself and have the courage to speak it, that is the way of Christ. To bring the truth into the open so that it snuffs out the darkness. And now you say, “Jesus IS the truth.” And I reply, if that fact is the ONLY truth you know, you’re only a basic infantrymen at max, but more likely still a trainee. There is no shame in it, but there is more honor in becoming a finely tuned and disciplined sniper. But beware, there IS shame in only being a trainee while claiming the status of sniper. The sniper will look at you with disgust before crushing you underfoot in front of your battalion.

Hi I love listening to you, your like a talking book, I wish my kids will grow to be like you ❤

Identity, personality and behavior are not the same thing! Many assume they are or use ine while referring to another and this is where confusion starts!

So lovely to hear your speeches. ALOHA!

Thank you JBS, the lecture is very good, I have a new perspective on myself.

Thank you for your knowledge Dr. Pererson

So very good. Thank you.

Ariticulating the cognition with persieverence and formulating the Rightounsness from the wisdom of geace. Gratitude to you Jo.

I'm a long time fan, and this is some of his best 10 minutes ever.

Thanks for posting this! :)

Of course psychologists must explain personality. Because that is their bread and butter. Alan Watts on the other hand was a philosopher and expert on Eastern cultures. He said personality derives from the old Greek word PERSONA. Which is a fictional construct used in drama . . . or comedy. You be the judge. How sincere . . . or how serious is the issue or question of personality ????? Dr. Peterson nails it when he says in the West we are expected to become completely independent individuals . . . come hell or high water. That last remark is gratuitously added by me.

Thank you Dr. Peterson

I would love to have been in that room. 🙏❤️

You are genius

It’d be really cool if someone of Dr Peterson’s influence and caliber had a spiritual awakening, literally realizing “I’m not the body nor the thoughts… I’m the spirit, the eternal awareness experiencing body and thoughts.” That’s what a lotta people are missing and need to find right now in their healing. The missing ingredient in the religious and psychological puzzle in the West.

You always learn

Personality can be unpredictable depending on the situation you’re in. Case to case basis I shall say. It’s a projection of realism within a person’s mind, the inner soul of being, one can never tell. It’s how you respond to situations, circumstances and other matters that happens in your life. When human intervention sets in that is beyond your control, then you can’t do anything about it. You’re in a trap and you just have to live with it. Stephen Covey said “Paradigms are powerful because they create the lens through which we see the world…If you want small changes in your life, work on your attitude. But if you want big and primary changes, work on your paradigm.” In my opinion, that’s where your personality will either change or remain stagnant.

from in 'being with'

:doS learning a particular way Cause anxiety? I had like a strange epiphany raking leaves. As i was going to try unclogging a drsinage creek where i had dumped trashcans full of leaves. I was going to use the cheap bags from the kitchen and seen the heavy duty kind for a maintence project. There was a bunch so i smashed to compress them and later when i was asleep i was dreaming about some stuff in the realms of marality and thought maybe its usable material to build upwards.

would love a conversation with him.

Can not get what you want all time but can get it

Good video

From others ignorance comes my personality❤❤🎉🎉

The suits are wayyyy cooler JP 😀 the lecture is equal in brilliance to the pod casts

@8:10 thanks to exploration of podcasts and online lectures I have only just recently realized that I have constructed my life in such a way that despite my flaws and failings, I live extremely comfortably and in great health. I don’t think about how lucky I am as often as I should. God is good.

1:17 I wasn't aware Matt Walsh attended his lectures before

Modern day philosopher

Your experiences and environment which determines your choices which points to free will conditioned by exterior factors more so than biological, for me. people are a product of their lineage but it seems like the bigger impact is how you experience things and what's happening around you

now what do you learn when you're correct you you're walking in the world you're operating the world you have a sense of what you want to have happen you're always looking at the world through this sense of what you want to have happen you're acting so that what you want to have happen will happen and when it happens well then you're happy because well first of all you get what you want and that's good maybe depending on what you want but it's also good because if you get what you want when you act then it turns out that your model of how to act is valid right the outcome that you get what you want indicates no error on the part of your model but it's very frequently the case that when you act to get what you want you don't get what you want and then that's unpleasant because you don't get what you want but it's even more unpleasant because it brings with it the hint of a suggestion that the manner in which you're construing the world is incorrect at some indeterminant level so for example if you tell a party tell a joke at a party you presume that people will attend and then when they hear the joke they will laugh and then if you tell the joke and it goes flat or even worse disgusts and offends people then you're going to be taken aback and that's partly because you didn't get what you want and that's not so good but it's but it's more because there's something wrong with the way you conceptualize the situation and then you're faced with a problem and the problem is the emergence of a domain of the unknown it's like well what kind of mistake did you make maybe you're not as funny as you think you are that that could be a big problem

Over independence with parents

Is there a possibility no matter how you shift your personality, in terms of big 5 model lets say, either being introverted or extroverted, agreeable or disagreeable, people would still not like you? Even if you do resolves your 'incorrect construe of the world', new problem would still arise, and you would, in a most desperate sense, never find a way out?

I see a red door and it has been painted black... We love Jung and Peterson.

The JBP "glow up" is very real from the UofT days. Time to get him back in the weight room.

Can someone help me to understand better, in his proposition where does the personality actually comes from?

Let’s go

An introverts backpack is usually lighter.

Dr. Petersen , Where do you teach, Which university ?

Peterson asks what is more part of you: your arm or your mother/child? Peterson starts with the point that perhaps your personality is outside of you... These things (your arm or your child) that you value are not outside of you, but inside. These are all values. Internal values. How you define yourself is by what you value. When what you value changes, your identity/personality changes. It's not as convoluted and complex as he made it out to be, respectfully. Values = identity = (true) you It's not about outside/inside. Our interactions with the outside world simply expose our nature (values), and expose us to different values we may pursue. Identity is simple.

Its not obvious, that you can make a framework, and structure around that is that!

I want a sketch of Kermit the frog do a jordan p lecture

I am a product of my environment. Society has made me who I am. If you don’t like me you don’t like society.😂 said some guy. Birds of a feather flock together.

So, where does the personality come from?

Hi. I have a question. I’m an intelligent young man. But I’m terribly afraid of success, and happiness. Perhaps because I don’t believe I deserve it, perhaps because I don’t believe it to be possible, perhaps because I truly hardly know what happiness even is. I’m not fully sure. I was bullied as a kid and never understood by my family, and therefore have extremely low self esteem. The reason I can say that, and nonetheless still start with “I’m an intelligent man”, is because, somehow, in some specific things I _do_ have confidence. Maybe because those things weren’t touched and therefore shattered in school and at home. I’m not fully sure. As of now, most tasks make me feel extremely overwhelmed. You would think I’m lazy. But I’m _so_ not. Therefore, looking for a good, high paying job, is extremely overwhelming. And keeping one, is incredibly overwhelming too. In fact, I got fired, because I wasn’t showing up, because I was too overwhelmed. My question is: how can I overcome this, so that I can be confident in myself, enough to pursue - and keep - a “real”, high-paying job? Thank you.

In my opinion the man is genius.

The mirror only reveals the packaging. The packaging only reveals what you are wearing.

How many professors talk like this? Profess? Think?

I blame my family

Why is it that your classes are always just you talking? Why not use a more investigative way to teach your students, in a way that they can sey what they think and debate with your ideias? Wouldn't it be better for their development?

The only identity is ego.

You will be flabbergasted when you realize that your personality comes from Uranus.

"You always learn when you're wrong." Unless you're one of those screeching college campus ideologues who transforms social justice activism into a personality trait, of course.

Surprised he’s not crying… 😂

Jesus Christ of Nazareth gave me His personality.

My personality comes from poverty, loneliness and being cursed for being born a millennial.

peak Jordan right here, I really wish he had stayed out of going head first into politics ... and religion.

WHY AM I NOT BEING REMOVED FROM HAVING HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS AND WAR CRIMES INFLICTED ON MY EVERY MOMENT OF LIFE?!?! MY NAME IS RONALD AARON LOPEZ.

My husband and children is more personality to me
