Jordan B. Peterson on 12 Rules for Life

im 98 yrs old listen to your body and treat your family friends well I know i haven't much time please listen to your inner self. life is tough make it easy and don't beat your self up over mistakes try learn be kind to you. night my fellow humans..

Last year I attempted suicide. I was newly single and jobless. I was living out of my truck and extremely lonely. I couldn't even afford data on my phone to properly communicate with the outside world, or my mother in England (I live in NZ). One day, when I was sitting outside a café, using their free wifi, I saw a suggested video pop up of a "Jordan Peterson Owns..." I clicked on it. It was entertaining. That led me to watch other videos of his and soon I found out that he wasn't just someone who puts people in their place- but a loving, caring man with great wisdom and knowledge on how to fix the mess I called my life. I parked outside that same café every night for a couple of weeks and I've been obsessed with his teachings ever since. I know he hears this a lot; and for good reason, but this man has literally saved my life. I keep his book on me like a bible and I revisit old lectures all the time. I'm no longer suicidal. I'm not longer homeless. I have a room to clean. Thank you, Dr. Peterson. Edit: I'm completely blown away by all the lovely messages from people from all over the world. It gives me a great feeling of global unity, that we are all one, fighting the same battle. Endless love and respect to you all. I wish you nothing but happiness. An update to my life: I just got a puppy. I guess you could say I took rule 12 a little too seriously and instead of petting a cat (in this case a dog) I actually adopted one. Take care, love to you all.

When nobody else celebrates you, learn to celebrate yourself. We hope to see more like this.

I don’t think many other 17 year olds are watching this, but I for sure am. This man is amazing

Being 18 years old watching him is probably the best choice ive ever made

4 million people took an hour and thirty minutes out of their day to watch a lecture on how to better their lives. I officially have hope for the future.

What a shame that some colleges are prohibiting their students from hearing Jordan Peterson's very important lessons for life. What a great loss. What i've noticed in my "working class life" is that many of the younger people have found him and that his lectures are available online (youtube). We need more of this man and those like him.

The most important thing that should be on everyone's mind currently should be to invest in different sources of income that doesn't depend on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the word. This is still a good time to invest in various stocks, Gold, silver and digital currencies..

The guy who introduces Dr. Peterson is so genuinely happy he is here.

I'm functionally depressed. Been listening to Peterson almos everyday for a few months now. Just cleaned my room today. Edit: it's amazing how so many people in the comments don't see the analogy.

Most times it amazes me greatly how I moved from an average lifestyle to earning over $33k per month, Utter shock is the word. I have understood a lot in the past few years that there are lots of opportunities in the financial market. The only thing is to know where to invest.

I feel like I just took my brain to a five star restaurant. Wonderful!

The moment I found Jordan Peterson, my love of learning returned. This world has really got me down. Jordan brings me hope.

This gives me hope. I'm not sure if this counts as a therapy session but to me it was incredible. Thank you Jordan Peterson

I am amazed at the amount of wisdom that he has been able to cram in his head,and then be able to recall it in a useful manner. He is amazing!!!!

To all the teenagers and early 20 s out there. I'm 27 and I wish I had heard this at 15. Do yourself a favor and listen to the man. Don't let your ego get in the way.

I told my girlfriend he was my favorite psychologist to while we were on the subject of psychology. She stopped responding for a bit then told me she bought us tickets to see him along with a trip to where he’s talking next. What a gift.

This man... Jesus, he is a GIFT for humanity! I cannot even express how grateful I am to him for sharing his knowledge over the decades. He helped me so much!

Very well articulated; I wish I had more time for trial and error, but I'll be 56 in October and I need ideas and advice on what investments to make to set myself up for retirement, especially with the looming inflation and recession; my goal is to have a portfolio of at least $850k at the age of 60.
